Lovely.

Based on this and few other posts of yours, you seem to like to mount a few individual plants together on the same mount. Any reason for that? what about disease/virus protection?

Tom, it's a good question. There is some risk, but I don't like just one plant on small piece of e.g. bark. For me is not so important, to have just a some species. How does it looks, is also importance for me. Let me say, when you buy a rose, you buy also 5 or 10 not just one. It looks better.
For good luck I've never been having any problems with virus or fungi. Just louse, but they don't kill my plants.
I see, you look very carefully at my pictures. Thanks a lot, I hope you like them.

Beautiful photos & I like the fact that you grow more than one plant on a mount!

I pay attension to every single thread I open and that is how I know the person at forums, and perhaps I can learn some growing tips by just looking at the details of the photos, not only just the flowers...

Thanks for the photos.
