Mounting on wine corks?
I am a complete mounting NOOB, but have really been interested in all of the pictures and posts on the subject. I live in a small-ish apartment so space is a bit of a concern, and I thought the hanging mounts would really open up some unused space for more orchids! On to the questions.
1. I have been thinking about trying a mini phal for my first mount. Good choice?? or should I try something else.
2. I take many trips during the summer to pursue some of my other hobbies. Mostly weekends, but often a week or so here and there. What can you do with mounted 'chids when you are gone for a while?
3. Has anyone ever mounted an orchid on wine corks? I have a rather large stash of old wine corks that I have wanted to do something with for a while. I think that a sculpture of wine corks would be a really awesome looking mount, and would display some of the corks from some of my favorite bottles. Anybody think of any problems with that? And as far as preparation, after the "sculpting" is finished I think that I should soak the whole thing in a bleach solution, followed by a rinse and then a bath in a KLN solution. Does that sound appropriate?
Looking forward to hearing ideas from all.
Thanks
