Beautiful photos. Not often you get to see ceph photos like THAT. Thank you for sharing those.
Can you describe what the substrate is like? I can see its fairly wet but is it a mostly sphagnum base? What are the temperatures like?

Plantakiss
Belated answer, sorry.
The soil here is a very poor type of plant material peat with silica sand. We don't have sphagnum here (one one recorded site.) for the plant growth. The Cephs are growing on the outer area of these swamps where the seepage water flows through. They are sitting in water or very wet ground but not stagnant. Temps vary from 3 - 5C lowest in winter to highs around 30C in the hottest of summer. Being from the southern coastal area they have a greater rainfall but not excessive. Most of the swamps they grow in are surrounded by thick bush or grown over which would create higher humidity 70 - 80%.
I hope that explains a bit for you.
Cheers
Phill
