Great idea - can't wait to see how you work out the dry rest period, but hopefully you can find a way - your grouping sounds really interesting.

They are all listed as slow growers.. Which works in my favour.
Can you pry mounts loose? A lot of these plants I can only find mounted and I really don't want them that way...
Honestly I'm thinking of replacing it with a more suitable plant that won't require a winter rest.
And then moving that plant to another small mount And pairing it with a mini dendrobium. One of the dendrobiums mentioned earlier also needs a "slight" winter rest.
What I can order where also affects what my mounts will have..
I'm digging Andy's prices and some of his mini's, but he doesn't have a lot that I want.
I found a site called orchidweb that's more expensive but that have many minis that I want. I haven't Google to see if they are reputable yet.
- I'm new to the orchidboard 
but have been keeping orchids for quite a while. I have a few mounted orchids - have you thought about trying Baptistonia Echinata? Photo of mine attached, mount is slightly smaller than yours I think, but it seems quite happy. It's been on there for a couple of years and the root structure isn't too big either which is a plus 
Many of my small native Aussie dendrobiums are on mounts the same size as my iPhone. One that I think works really well on a mount this size is Dendrobium tetragonum. They are a reasonably big plant but they have a very small root footprint so they can give you a great show on a small mount. I could have one mounted happily on a 1 inch block of cork if I wanted! I attach old mans beard tillandsias around them which keeps the humidity up as well.
