The video of the San Francisco OS June 2 is working now. I corrected the link in my original post. The Jason Fischer's talk starts just after 45:00 (preceding that is meeting stuff) so just scroll over to that point.

Great video! If/when things start opening up again I'll have to make a trip down and visit them. I'd like to see some of the examples in person and get some ideas for my collection.

One of the things that I thought was so cool about the approach was the durability. Seems to last longer than most mounts do... and for those who can't water mounted plants every day, a way to get the same effect with a lot less maintenance.

Yep, that was a big positive to me as well. Also to be able to condense some plants into a single mount and save some room would be helpful! I have some mini phals and smaller oncidium types that would probably be a nice mix on one of these.

And now I have to make one. I need to look back here on the Board and see how long ago I mentioned I would NEVER do mounted orchids again... around November or December of last year? 
Those poor NOID Phals and Tolumnia are getting so tired of me... Perhaps I'll pick on Oncidium this time. |

Nice thing about this approach, you don't have to pick just one! With the bottom being wetter than the top, you have two microclimates on one of these. And a fair amount of space.

Ok, I'm really excited about this Jungle Log idea! I've got two Masdevallias and a mini Tolumnia on order that are going to need a nice moist home! I've started a thread for resources here. Please feel free to post/add any resources that you find! Thanks!  |

I think perfect combination of plants to try out on your new Jungle Log... put the Masdies on the bottom part (which will stay damp, and also cooler from water evaporating off the surface of the clay pot) and the Tolumnia on the upper part which will stay somewhat drier.
