First mount: Palm branch? + orchid recommendations

[Swamper]

I don't know what type of frond it is and I don't know how long it will last. If it does start to decompose or rot or just fall apart, you can always attach it to another mount. I grow mainly vandas and I'm pretty sure one would work on that.

Thanks Swamper. I may actually use my Angraecum didieri. I did a bit more research and it appears to be a pretty good candidate, and its also part of the vanda alliance. Of all the orchids I've looked at so far to mount, this one seems to be the most suitable and it seems I'd almost be doing it a disservice by trying to grow it in a pot I guess I'll just have to find (*cough* buy) another orchid to fill the empty spot on the bench...
