Default Neo. f 'Buak' & 'Dongchuldo' on mopani

Neofinetia 'Buak' has roots that helped decide which mount it was mounted on.


There was a clear left/right split which enabled me to spread the roots into two hollows on the first piece of mopani.


In less than a minute the neo was on its new home.


'Dongchuldo' was just as easy. although only one side is shown here this piece of mopani can be turned from the dark side to the light side and each side looks as good as the other, I think.



There's only 'Hwanguemgeum' (right) left to mount and I'm sure that will be just as easy.

WOW! That is amazing! Mounting sure is fun, isn't it! I would prefer to mount orchids all day instead of pot for a few hours.

Thank you, Cody! Yes, mounting is far more enjoyable and since the pieces are all individual it beats the endless rows of pots!

I completely agree, and your mounts are no exception, especially this one. I love the idea of two plants on the same mount. It was actually your pics of all your mounted Neos that gave that last enablement for me to make my first mount.

Cool! I'll need to try to mount on many differing materials - even glass!

So cool. I love the mounting you did. I just got a piece of mopani and a piece of cholla wood. So I might throw something on. Can't decide what though.


You can call me Bob

Thank you. Cholla wood is great stuff too but I doubt if I could get it here.

I decided that, as usual, I couldn't wait to get a plate stand for the large piece so I quickly set to making a stand out of an implement used to lift a basket out of a steamer! lol. I took the handle apart and with a couple of swift bending moves I made a stand - that works! - in about 30 seconds LMAO!
