Which species will be good to hang in treers?

Oh sorry, I didnt notice it inside parenthesis: but Sydney had snow and freezing weather this May 11th and some hyways were closed because they didnt foresee the freeze and they didnt have road salt in stock.
Mounting orchids on trees is still not advisable.
Hanging baskets is fine. He can take the orchids indoors if the freezing cold comes.
And Dudley can also have other species in the dendrobium alliance some oncidiums aside from vandacious alliance to hang there...

G'day epiphyte78,
Thanks for the suggestion. I want to take them inside to display. I love to let our visitors see what wonderful flowers they are. It might be possible to have some sort of temporary fixing mechanism but that would just complicate matters.
Thanks again for your interest
Kind regards dbloom (Dudley)

G'day Bud,
Minor correction here - we never have snow in Sydney - sometime a flurry up in our Blue Mountains 100 km or so to the west and at an elevation of 600 - 1100 m. Never have a need for salt either. We do have great skiing down south in (would you believe the innovative name ) Snowy Mountains but they are about 500 km away.
At our Orchid Society meeting last night one of the "gurus" suggested soft cane Dendrobiums might be OK for my ideas so I took a book on them from our little library and will read up over morning coffee today
Kind regards Dudley (dbloom)

There are hundreds of epiphytic orchid species that can handle growing outdoors in Sydney year around...dozens that could handle growing outdoors in the Blue Mountains and I certainly wouldn't be surprised if there were a few that could handle the Snowy Mountains. With around 20,000 species of epiphytic orchids it would be strange if there wasn't a reasonable amount of variation in cold tolerance.

Regarding orchids on trees...well...to each their own for sure. But when my visitors come over they are interested in seeing the garden. Since we're in the garden to begin with it's easy enough just to show them the orchids growing on my trees.
