Mine has been in bloom all winter. It is an ugly plant, tough as nails, but, the blooms make up for it.
Looking at your home and your mounting, you obviously have a good eye. Can you actually imagine it will look better mounted, or in a pretty catch pot? Remember, if you mount, you water pretty neat every day. If it were mine, I would find a stunning piece of pottery and place it in there. My two cents.

I actually have some more in the pots ($9 ones, pic attached). I went to a local Kroger and they had all of the orchids I purchased on sale like $4-9 each. I took the cheapest one, $4 one, to mount it, just to learn it.
I basically spray the mounted one in the morning and in the evening everyday. The advantage I see from the mounted one so far is that I can see and feel the roots. For a beginner like me I think that's crucial bc when I see that it's pale white, I spray it since after a long day it should be thirsty. I sprayed it a while until the roots stay light green and I just let it to air out.
