My new Mounts :)

[maria1971]

Hey everyone. Here are my new mounts. Enjoy!!


--Here is my Paraphalaenopsis Kolopaking on a Teakwood mount. I purchased this from RF orchids this year and it has a gorgeous cinnamon scented flower.
It came potted but Maria did not like. Here it is:

--Here is my Renanthera monachica. I purchased this from RF this summer. When preparing for mounting, it divided in two. Lucky me!! Here is monachica A:

--And its former Siamese twin, Renanthera monachica B:

--I purchased this Neostylis Lou Sneary 'Blue Bird' @ the Tamiami International Orchid Show in Miami in February of this year. I decided to mount it, and it seems happy:

--Finally, my Vanda denisoniana x sib. I purchased this @ RF in February of this year and it looked like this:

But, I did not like the look of it, so after it bloomed (2 flowers only the first time), I mounted it. Now, it looks like this:

If you notice, I use yarn. For me, it's easier than fishing line or wire to manipulate, and it makes awesome-ly tight knots.

I hope you enjoy the pictures. I have to find more teakwood for other plants that I have.

Peace. Out.

Hi,

I haven't been able to find teakwood mounts like this online, unfortunately. I buy them from RF orchids here in Homestead. They come with the wire attachment already in place.

thanks everyone for their kind comments.
