artificial orchid tree :)
I decided to put some of my orchids in more natural-like enviroment... so I decided to build an artificial orchid tree  I was inspired by Jerzy Dziedzic's idea (it's here, in Polish: Orchidarium.pl - Orchidarium, czyli dom dla storczyków) and today I started my project  I've already made a pith- I've used 7 metres of aluminium tubes 
I'll post more photos on tuesday- cork's gonna arrive 
Hope you'll like the idea

Thank's for your appreciation  I'm very proud of myself- I was using saw to cut it in parts... and all of my fingers remained unharmed

I think it is a great idea....Will look heaps better with Orchids all over it (obviously)
One little suggestion (NOT being picky though). It might be better and stronger if you bolt the parts together instead of using zip ties

I can't wait to see your tree finished. Chids love  to be mounted and a tree is perfect. They look so natural with the leaves and flowers hanging from it.
