Supplies for Mounting Orchids........
 

I have two potted Orchids arriving next week that I want to mount. I can find the Cork bark, and I have fishing-line, and spaghnum moss, but where do you find the WIRE to put into the cork to hang the mount?
Is this something you can just buy at a Home Depot type of store ? What type of wire is it?
