That looks pretty cool! I also like the idea of companion plants with your mount.

and they are working out nicely so far neostylis lou sneery "blue bird" that was rootless has popped out 3 or four new roots and the Toulimias are starting to put out new roots and leads as well,and in the wild orchids would quite likely be growing among other plants such as bromeliads and other orchids on the same limb

Ok new update ....she is ready to bloom now and I decided the toulimias were just too much and took them off too.....

Anyways here is the mounted intermedia 2 years after the beginning with the first buds starting to open

I did leave the neostylis Lou Sneery on it but th etoulimias were obstructing air flow too much and keeping everything too wet because of it

Looks fantastic!! I thought C. intermedia was a super tall catt, but yours is an awesome size!

Ok here is a pic of her almost fully opened ...not bad for a first bloom seedling....the only problem I have with it is the tag on the seedling said C. Intermedia - lavender ....lol NOT

I recently picked up a C. intermedia and I thought the bloom looked fairly white right after it bloomed as well, but as the flower aged it picked up a nice lavender hue with a couple tiny spots of darker purple.
