    Very nice! Is that a little Aerangis with the white blooms?

    Very cool. What type of tree branch are you using?

    Tmai, it’s a branch off of my Mulberry tree, I cut the tree back every other year… this time I had something else to do with the branches other then shred them. Clint, it’s an Aerangis luteo-alba var. rhodosticta, although I believe that the name has been changed to Aerangis rhodosticta. Very nice compact bloomer, the Angraecum leonis has since been moved off of the branch it was getting a little to wet, the branch is under an automated misting system.

    That's really cool, very "naturalistic" looking and beautiful way of displaying your plants. Will you be adding more on it or is that it for now?

    Great mount Adam, I really like the natural mounting technique and am glad to see more people using it.
    My Aerangis rhodosticta has yet to bloom, but has sent out two new growths, good thing I'm a patient man. LOL
