Den aggregatum in full bloom!
 I am in love with this plant! It sent out 10 spikes but I accidentally broke one while watering.  But here it is with all 9 spikes in full bloom. It is like a yellow cloud!  |

Wow! That is such a fantastic orchid and I love the way it is mounted/hanging, looks really good.

Wrabbit, I think it is 'Spanish Moss' hanging below, although I could be wrong. I've seen it in a nursary I visited, they said it could help raise humidity.

Hehe! Not roots, it is a big clump of Spanish moss. The roots on this one are tiny. The Spanish moss helps keep it from drying out too fast. Plus I think it looks very cool!

I love the look of the Spanish Moss Susie. They had it all arround in the nursary I visited and if I start hanging my orchids I'm going to get some.

That's an absolutely lovely display. Good job!  How long have you had the plant? |
