Got bored

So I got boerd with my NOID Phals, so I decided to make an orchid tree. In addition to the six Phals, I also attached 9 assorted air plants and dried Spanish moss for effect.

Very natural looking with the moss. I like the effect there. Can't wait to see it bloom. Did it cure your boredom?

Fantastic!! That's a great use for the NOIDS. Is it outside now? Hope you have a place for it in the winter--you get some pretty rough ones in Pa.

Very cool! Sure, it's going to look phaltastic in bloom, but it also looks terrific in 'leaf'!

Umm, you must have a very nice inside area to keep all your mounts during the winter. Nice idea

I like the idea that it only takes one pot's worth of bench space. I really want to try one now so that I can make more room for my other plants, which ae becoming a bit crowded. you did a great job! I love to see orchids grown so naturally. Please continue to post pictures so we can see how spectacular it becomes each season.
