Ok I finally mounted one:biggrin: . Never did find grape wood but I did find this piece. Then I couldn't find an orchid that I thought would look ok. Well, last week I bought this cutting for 10 bucks and figured if I mess it up it won't be so bad. Now I'm thinking maybe it's too big for that mount? What do u think?
BTW, that's an Lc.Petticoats x Blc.Peggy O'Neil

Nice shape to the driftwood. Did you try using the opening in it as a seat for the plant? It might have to become a table plant but I think it would look great :)

I thought about that, but I don't grow well indoors. Maybe I keep my A/C too high, pretty cold? Maybe I don't keep them close enough to the windows or too far? Whatever it is I can't get it right. So they all go outside ultimately.

I'd still try to sit that plant in the hole...it's like it's asking for it ;)

The wood can stay in the same position but you'll have to maneuver the plant a bit.

It looks nice just the way it is but my creative juices start running when I see driftwood pieces and orchids together :)

I know what you mean, that hole's been driving me crazy for weeks. It screams "in here":roll: but I can't seem to find a way to make it look right unless I lay it down. I've moved it in every angle imaginable.

:hmm

How about a hanger at each end and keep the wood horizontal, like a sling?
