My new mount Phal. amabilis 'Olympic Beauty' seedling
I bought a flask of these from Troy Meyers, the end of last year. I have a few that are starting to grow very quickly, so I decided to mount a few. I got this one done.



Here it is in the tank with the ghosts.

Thanks All I can't wait to see them bloom either!!
I have heard about mounting Phals. upside down. It helps in keeping water out of the crown ( help from getting crown rot). So I wanted to try it with a few smaller Phals. I will mount some others & post pics of them.

Cool! We have a couple of members that mount their Phalies that way. It's pretty cool! (It makes sense, too!)
