Mount update

I made a new one from wood I found in a pond on a golf course. Fixed one that needed some additional thought and decided to leave the dens. as is.
I really like the mounted look, but am making it harder on myself on watering. Plus I'm going to have to figure out where to put them. But I keep doing it!!!
Mount update-driftwood-phal-2.jpg This one needed more thought. I'd showed it to hubby and he raised his eyebrow and then chuckled. Let's just say it didn't look right.

Mount update-mounts-noid-phals.jpg I turned it horizontal and added another Phal.

Mount update-mount-dens.jpg The dens I decided to leave as is and hung them on a tree.

Mount update-mounts-mule-ear-onc..jpg "golf course" mount. Trctm. (Maureen x Haematochilum) or mule ear onc.

Two still need hooks. I like to mount first. Its a little trickier, but then I know how they balance the weight.

VERY nice Lynne!! Good job!!

Oh, and the first one...if the mind wanders a bit...I can see why the hubby chuckled. Tell him to pull it out of the gutter.

Your mounts are great! Can you find another one or two plants that will thrive in phal conditions? The upper and lower branches on the left side of the pic are begging for additional plants.
