New mounts

[Orchidementia]

Here are a couple of the mounts I've done recently. The neo seems to like it; though you can't see it in these photos, it's starting a new growth and some new roots. The other one is a Dendrobium malvicolor, and it too has new growth.

Very interesting mounts you've found there. If I were and orchid, I'd like it too.

They look absolutely beautiful!!! It's great when orchids look as pretty when not in flower as they do in flower.

[amersault]

The mounts are beautiful! Very nice shaped wood pieces you found. The plants look really happy too!

Very artistic approach you have gone for, I might attempt some myself when I finish the monolith in the backyard.

I am looking for interesting ways to display my babies.

I love the mounts!

Are those grapewood? Also, the dend is mounted to the underside of the mount? How often do you water the dend? Thanks.

[lmartiny]

Just beautiful. You do have a very artistic eye. Like your floral display win this month. It does look like old grape vine. Is that correct?

I love mounting my orchids, but i am not as gifted in mounting as you are, me i just
stuck them in and leave, whereas you, its an art. I love it. thanks for sharing.

[dorothea]

[klaraau01]

Beautiful!!! is it a driftwood?

[flowerchild]

Cool mounts, they look absolutely super!!!!!! Can you enlighten us as to what kind of wood that is? Thanks Cindy aka flowerchild

[benetay]

The mount is way cool! I can't wait to see them in bloom!

Cheers!

Thanks, everyone! The neo is on grapewood root; the dendro is on mopani wood. The dendro hangs (see the hook on the top) but can also sit; it gets watered as often as it takes to keep it moist, usually about once a day (it's been dry here). The neo is tension mount; that is, its roots and sphag hold it in place without being tied down. I used nylon quilting thread on the dendro mount.

I love those mounts and the chids look happy. Mounting like that does make your plants into art.

So pretty. I love them. I just bought a bunch of grape wood for mounting after yours. They just arrived. Hope I do as good of a job as you.
