Default Mom's Old Chair

I had an old oak chair from my Mother-in-Law with a broken cane seat. Part of the wood was also broken and not repairable. She went to Auctions for many years and picked up random items. This was one of them. I decided to make it a planter for my orchids. A few different ones lived in the seat and then got moved along. LC Golddigger Fuchs 'Mandarin' however decided not to move along but moved ON! Rooting itself to the pot I used to fill the open seat and then attached to the back, the legs and you can't see them but roots are hanging off the back of the seat. What a happy plant
