Thanks! To answer questions, glass blowing is my full time job (for 13 years now) And that ONE flower took between 3-4 hours. I couldn't believe how long it took, but orchids are complex beings!
Now I'm studying up on mosses, mounts, dif. species of orchids, and POTS!! I've started playing with making my own pots. I'll get pictures soon.

Hi Maestro. and Welcome to the Board. Your last attachments are not working  I have a delicate but beautiful orchid for you to try. And pretty famous as well. Dendrophylax lindenii (The Ghost Orchid).

I like that ghost orchid. Might be a bit fragile but hey, I may give it a shot.
FLhiker, have no fear. I put holes in the bottom of the pot. |
