Default orchid mounting cork tree

ahhh I find stuff around that people throw out and I dont see junk I see orchid stuff

made this from some light guard grills tie wraps and wire.

Its portable, stands or hangs. Will have a pvc pipe running thru the middle ,a fountain tank pump providing water from a container if I choose to sprinkle.

its kind of like playing jingo putting the plants on it if you know what I mean ...hmmmm design flaw? nah I just havent figured that out yet but Im thinking a 20 lb old plastic coated bench weight in the bottom of the container will hold it steady enough.If I hang it its not an issue and to use the water system Im going to take it outside anyways...so Im still thinking before cutting stuff up..




now here it is with some plants around it...see how nice it looks..would make nice displays for shows ya know






p.s. theres 17 orchids in these pictures can you find them all ?..
clue
the mount on the wall has 4 orchids so now all you need to find is 13 more

I like it!! I'm with you ..always looking at things to figure how to put an orchid on it. Some concrete in a shallow pot would keep it stable and movable. Great job.

orchid people are quite creative ....light weight concrete/ and a plastic bucket w/ river rocks glued all over it....hmmm would fit right into me building a waterfall into my plans......a little container fountain kit ,some hose and....My neighbors going to have a leak :P...
....I feel like the guy in Close Encounters, Field of Dreams and Army of Darkness all at the same time...

What a wonderful idea, I love it! I may look into building myself something similar for all my mounted plants. I just keep mounting more and more of them! lol They just look so pretty and natural that way.

I think the fountain/watering system is genius! Keep us posted on how it develops!

Nice going. Like Lorraine, I'm always looking at things as a mount possibility. Thanks for sharing.
