Default Week-End Phalaenopsis Project

I have a small 6' x 12' deck off my living room that is covered (roofed) over with the corrugated material used for green houses.
This week-end I moved my phals from just about every window sill in the house to the deck.
Here's how it came out!

Beautiful, I especially like the wall. What's between the phal and the wood frames? Is it cork? bark? Beautiful mount on a great looking wall. Im working on making some frames like those. Easy to bring back in during huricanes. Winter for you.

10+++ Great job!! I like the lattice so you can hang mounts on it. You created a great escape place to R&R. I love weekends!!

Hi Swamper,
The frames are built around a square plastic pot and are attached at about a 45 degree angle.
PM me if you want more info.

I adore your setup Al!!! You did a fantastic job. The part that I love the most is that it looks like you put a lot of thought on the entire arrangement. The whole thing is just so nicely decorated. I LOVE it!

Thank you Sarah, actually I would like to do more, I have a number of phals "left over" that are still in the house that I would like to put on the floor around the fountain but my dog thinks the spagh moss is quite a treat. She isn't much interested in the plant/leaves, just the moss. It's much like having a 2 year old.......everything goes into the mouth!!!
