My largest mounting yet

[jerrymeola]

My display from the Sarasota show centered around this 6 foot Grapevine log.

The Brlla Marfitch 'Howards Dream' on top has two 30 inch flower stems, while the Brsdm Fangastic on the left has a 45 and 53 inch flower stems. What looks like little white flowers in the center are actually 6 inch BrllaTahcoma Glacier flowers

That is truly a work of art.

Jerry - I am not getting the photo. Am I doing something wrong?

Looks great Jerry, but, where would keep a display THAT large at home ????

Make a great conservation piece.

I can not understand why you are not seeing the photo. Possibly your spam and virus filter removes it. Search in the gallery for Sarasota and you will find it.

For those not familiar with Society Orchid Shows, in order to be a vendor you are required to make a 10x10 'artistic' display. The mounting is only about 1/3 the whole display. I made the big mounting but my wife, Sharon, did the rest of the work.

It took her about 3 hours to make the display, but probably a week in the planning.

I actually had three people inquire about buying it.

Ah, Jerry, you're not just a pretty face.

WOW! Beautiful!

Where will you place this in your home?

[Townsville]

Got it Jerry - very impressive. Tsvlle

hi everyone,

I joined the forum only a few minutes ago.

jerrymeola:- I am not sure if I am qualified to assess the display yet but it simply IS gorgeous!!

I am very new to orchids. I assume from your description the large green epiphyte(?) is the Brsdm. fangastic. So healthy.

Unfortunately the mounting never comes in the house. First my wife does not allow non-flowering orchids in the house when she can just go and take more form the shadehouse.

Second when I go to a show I try not to take anything home. All these were sold to people at the show. I removed the plants and mounted them individually. The large base I will reuse again.

Fantastic Display! You and Sharon have done a great job.

We are redoing the display in three weeks at the Orlando Home and Garden Show March 9-11 and the next week at Marie Shelby Gardens in Sarasota Florida the 17-18th.

If you are in Florida stop by.
