just a update ...cattalyea intermedia mounted 2009
 

mounted in 2009 has done well and lol I have decided to try it with a couple of toulimias added to it now


Touls were just added this week and simply placed in between the catts leads and not fastened in any way

loving the algae growing on the mount too,I think it adds quite a good look to the entire mount

nice job of mounting....looks good!

looks great!

I like it too.

Wonderful!!! Mounted orchids look so beautiful!

well she is doing great folks thanks for the kind words ..now have three leads with sheaths and new leads popping all over ....LOl she is swallowing the mount but if she becomes a ball hanging on a wire thats fine too,at the moment she is almost to big to dunk in the 5 gallon bucket I have been using to saok her once in a while so im looking for a bigger tub to soak my mounted ones in ...

Great looking Cattleya JB! I look forward to seeing how the Tolumnias do on there, that's an interesting idea.

Please let me know what you find, I'm running into the same problem with some of my orchids. I'm just not sure of what would be bigger then a 5 gallon bucket that I would be able to easily change the water if needed.

You can get bigger tubs at a farm and feed store. Generally should have some 10-25 gallon buckets for horses and the like.

Your orchid is beautiful. Love it.
