This just arrived from Brian (IncredibleOrchids)...hard to get a good picture of the very small blooms but it looks great! The mount weighs a ton and is covered with fine healthy moss...the roots are growing like crazy!

I love it

Thanks Brian

I'll work on getting a better picture tomorrow...when it's warmer!

Susanne that looks really cool, what makes the mount so heavy?

I don't know but it is heavier than any other mount I've ever held!

With all that water that moss holds, Im sure it is heavier!! Keep that moss alive Sue!! It will be your indicator.
I love the foliage, and so far I love the color of the blooms, I will be anxiously awaiting future pics

The moss is really healthy...and there are fine little ferns growing too!

I love the way it looks

I got my Bulb. thaiorum with moss and little ferns on the mount too. I was able to keep one fern sort of alive, while the moss has spread like wildfire all over my orchidarium!!!!
