First attempt at mounting
I came across a beautiful photo of a mounted Howeara and decided to try it myself. Thankfully, I found a nicely sized Howeara Lava Burst for 7 USD - great price for an orchid experiment...
When I received the plant, the roots had already started to push out, perhaps an inch already. I wasn't sure if it was too late to mount without irreversibly damaging the maturing roots. Tried anyway. After two months, it flowered! Unfortunately, the new roots died and I haven't seen any new root growth...
