Mounted tree with Orchids and Tillandsias
I planted a Mimosa (Albizia julibrissin) tree 7 years ago when we moved here and today my friend Carlos came over with some Orchids and Tillandsias. I also had a collection of Orchids and Tillandsias ready for mounting onto tree that are outdoor hardy type plants for this area, I live in Northern Los Angeles, California. It gets into the 30's and on rare occasions into the low 20's, summers here can get into the 100's for days with very low RH 15% here where I live, even though less then 7 miles away it could be much cooler and more RH.
These plants that are mounted to this tree have been growing outdoors by myself and Carlos for several years and we know from experience that they are hardy to our area.
I have even had a Lealia Anceps in bud andwith open flowers get the rare freak March snow storm that lasted for about an hour and froze everything that night, but the next day Lealia was fine buds opened eventually and flowers were no worst from the experience.
