Phal, violacea var.coerulea
Strong fragrance.
The smell is just like a wake up call in the summer morning.

"You smell that? Do you smell that? Violacea, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of violacea in the morning."
Ok, so my Robert Duvall impression needs a little work 
But you get my drift 
Aaah, violacea

All the boards used for mounting looks like a similar material .. what is the name of the material and is it readily available ...
Sorry if you have answered this question before but I want to try this way of growing phals...
Thanks so much for sharing

I usually use the tree fern to be my mounts.
This material is very common in my country.
If you want to know how to use it,I can show you this weekend.
But,fristly,I have to find a phal to mount..

Phal. violacea var. alba
This one is still very young, and has no first flower yet.
I am very curious about its fragrance.

Phal. tetraspis C1
I had been dreaming of it for a long time.
Finally I got it last week,I also found a large one from the vender,
but the price was higher than my budget, so I chose this one,
need more patient to see it growing up.
The left pix is from the vender's

Here you find that your growing trick is mounting ,But one lady wants to fix them in to a pot.
I have seen in a thread phals mounted on trees .
Can you grow or phals are happy to be in a tiny pot ?
my phals are growing out side of the pot? I means roots.

In the wild all the phals grow on trees, so mounting is a natural way to grow your phals.
Phals can be planted in pots too. It is OK when few roots grow out of pot.
Otherwise,check the moss or other material whether it is acidified or not.
Happy with your phals
