I found my starfish!!!

at Michaels, of course. You'd think I could find one on a beach here in Florida but I had no luck with that. I finished the driftwood mount that I've been obsessing about (new pic in my gallery). I've already been able to remove the fishing line from two of the plants, they've already begun attaching themselves to the wood! Very cool

How nice! Where are you keeping the drift wood? In a humid place??

Ha-ha...just being in Florida is being in a humid place!
I have it on the far side of my pool cage so it is in full sun (20% shade from screening). I mist it a number of times a day and I'm trying to find a shallow container that will fit on the base that the driftwood is attached to (in the back, it'll be hidden) to keep some water in. The plant at the top is a Ascocentrum ampullaceum that I bought at Redlands on 5/21 and the roots that have grown just amaze me!
