Well, lots of orchids can. Some don't do well mounted. I'd say the easiest list is the ones that do not do well: Paphs, Phrags, Cischweinfia, Dracula, most Maxillaria, Masdies., Jewell Orchids, etc. Probably there are some others like Cimbidium that won't do well mounted as well. Other than that, I'd try whatever you have and see how it does.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Any orchid that grows as an epiphyte will do well mounted.

I agree with epiphiytes, particulary smaller plants. Large epiphytes can be difficult to get started and manage on cork slabs.
