I have just taken a pic and will post it on Photobucket tomorrow. I
agree that placing the orchids in glass cylinders could just be a sales
gimmick, done mainly to protect the flowers which had long since dried
up. Any ideas what I could do with the cylinders? *Perhaps grow filmy
ferns in them.

You could try growing vandas if you manage to get a basket and to hang
the basket in the cylinder - roots not touching the water.
