Coel. cristata

Another plant mounted today

With at least three new growths on the plant I am hoping now is the right time to get this baby mounted. Some of the results are pictured below.

A progress album will be available in the future (previous link removed)

Enjoy!
And - Thanks to all you Orchid nuts out there for inspiring me

Nice mount! Don't be surprised if your orchid sulks for a long time.... Coel. tend to do that after there roots are messed with!

Thanks keithrs

I was as cautious as I could be with the removal and transplantation of the green toddler. Very delicate looking roots!
Not expecting anything spectacular this year (or next for that matter) but hopefully now it's on the mount it will adjust in time and spring back from the sulk

Time will tell how much of a good job I did but for now the mount is holding together - Which is nice

Nice mount! I wonder how long it will take to outgrow the mount, the plants I see at shows are simply enormous!

[Triffid]

Thank you Camille

Good point as well. Must admit I will be interested to see how long it takes to engulf the mount Best I take good care of it.

The three new growth are on two seperate Pseudobulbs. So this year (So far - though not expecting any more) it's a ratio of 3 to 2 (or 2 to 3 which ever way round it goes ). There are currently seven good sized pseudobulbs.
