They look really great!! Shame about losing some buds though. I just can't deal with the daily watering, so all my Phals grow potted. Some species may prefer mounts, but I think for me it's easy they do good potted or die mounted.
I agree, Camille, all the rest of my phals are in clear plastic pots and they grow very well that way. From now on if I want this natural look I'll put the plastic pot inside the wood basket.
