LOVE THE DUCT TAPE POT!!!!

I found an old plastic beer pitcher with tar all over it floating in the ocean years ago. Kept it in my shed forever. Last year, I drilled a zillion holes in it and planted a single dendrobium cane.
Now the plant is about 2 feet tall, healthy as hell and I've got roots shooting out of all the holes like a chia-pet!

Except for the deli containers when I was doing s/h, just regular pots. I'm planning to strap a mini Catt. to an amethyst geode this spring though.

The amethyst geode will look really cool! I can't wait to see pictures of it!

I have a couple of small hunks of amethysyt geode was thinking of trying to mount a (small) orchid on - wasn't sure what would do well - definitely post pix when you do this - I would love to see it!
