my first mounting....outside

[Wrebbitrocks]

so ive been wanting to mount an orchid for a long time just to try it out. thing is, its not very practical for me to take mounts for watering or make an enclosure for humidity. let alone risking a perfectly good orchid for certain death

anyways, this past mothers day my mom recieved a just add ice orchid from her friend. i looked at it and scoffed. anyways i pulled it out of the ceramic container it was in and it was flodded with cold water and the roots were no good. i could see the plant was going to die. today i saw some of the leaves shriveling and the flowers a bit wilting since its dehydrating from its overwatering at frys.

i decided to take it outside and mount it on a tree i have, i have nothing to lose right. i dont know if i did a good job nor care. its just an experiment. lets see just how well it does this year and then maybe il give it mounting a real try. pics to come
