I just wanted to share some pictures of orchids that I mounted on driftwoods.
These pictures are a few weeks old - I'll take some updated pictures if there are any new developments.
Right now I just see some new roots beginning to emerge. I hope the roots grasp the wood.
Dendrobium Kingianum - Inspiration: Palm trees on a rock island.
Cattleya Guttata - Inspiration: Chinese Mountain Art
Dendrobium NOID - Inspiration: Banana Trees on the Riverbank.
So much wood, too few mountable orchids. I guess thats what I get for favoring standard ones over minis.
I thought about mounting one of my standard, full size catts but realized I would need a driftwood the size of a German Shepherd to maintain visual balance.
I hope you like it.
Suggestions and recommendations would be most appreciated.
I have several more works in progress. I'll share the pics once they are ready.

Thanks Ron.
The driftwoods were purchased from a pet/reptile store. They are intended for high humidity or complete underwater use. So they are perfect for orchid mounts since they wont rot anytime soon.
Beautiful work there!
I've seen these woods for sale before, they come from asia I believe and are very heavy
Those are very nice! I really like the Dend. NOID one.
Cheers,
BD
They look great !!
