Cement based molded mount

Great job indeed. We can eleminate the fear of growing them on cement .
I wish to provide some added information here .
Some people grow them just on top of blocks made of concreate .
Very recent inovation is cover a piece of rigifoam
with cement .orchids are happy on them .

I would love it if you marketed these mounts! An additional idea might be a seated Buddha or Kuan-Yin meditation sculpture with the orchid pocket in the hands/lap. I could think of a ton of us orchid lovers and quite a few day spas who would love that!

This is a *very* cool idea!!! Hurry up, I'll take three!

Well , There is a sacrid tree where Lord Buddha used to sit under and meditate . .Bec Lord Buddha meditated alone and obtained enlightenment . The statue is representing that mood . Orchid pocket will/may give
wrong idea .
therefore its not a correct idea.

That is too bad.

I have seen many such sculptures here in traditional Asian gardens with such a flower in Buddah's hand as if he is meditating on the flower and life held in it.



Guess that's an Americanized idea.

thanks for the input

A flower on Lord Buddha's hand is some thing better . But growing some thing on Lord Buddha's hand is can't acceptable. (Its an insult to his Lordship )
Here in our country all the statues of Lord Buddha's meditating position is with closed eyes and nothing on palms. This is not only idea of mine but of all.
I will mention here further , meaning thing of that statue is to worshiped by every one. Its some thing sacrid and we belived it .
Do You know that on T-sunami disaster all the Lord Buddha statues of along the coast line of our country remain safely. all the other buildings went upside down.
And its not just a piece of sculpture........too dear friend.

Hey do you make miniature sized pocket mounts ? Cause if you do i,ll be your customer. 40% of my collection consist of miniature species of orchids. haraella retrocalla ordorata, pleuros,masdevillia, would love these mounts. The root travel on them is great!

[bodaciousbonsai]

Wow. Didn't mean to offend anyone - Sorry!!! Geeze.

Didn't mean to step on any toes or offend any religion. That was the last thing I every wanted to do. I was just asking a naive question based on my love of orchids and Asian art. Didn't realize it was so offensive so, yeah, apologies from the stupid American.


Back on subject . . . Yeah - let us know if you market it (in any form!), I'd love to get my hands on this stuff!!!! You have a huge market out here just waiting.
