I just did my very first mount today and I thought I'd post the results. See what you guys thought and to see if ya'll saw something I might have done wrong.
The orchid is a mini Phal that I got at Home Depot and the mount is a piece of Mopani wood. It's an African hardwood that is used a lot in aquariums and reptile habitats.
I have another larger piece that I'm planning on mounting two mini Phals on, but I have to wait for the second one to finish blooming, which will be a while since it still has one unopened bud. I didn't think that mounting it while it was still blooming would be a good idea.
