Mount-up (The
Science and Art of Mounting Orchids) |
||
|
Are you awash in mushy roots? Do you have a collection of miniature
orchids that started life as standards? Don’t give up. Give in. Surrender to your orchids; put them where they long to be … mounted on a shapely piece of fruit wood, treefern, grapewood
or cork. Liz will demonstrate how to mount orchids on a variety of materials and give hard-won advice on their care. Liz discovered orchids back in 2006 at the DVOS Show and Sale. Persuaded by the Show membership deal, ’14 months for the price of 12, a Bargain!’, she and Jamie joined on the spot. Fast forward to 2011. They have an over-capacity greehouse, an eBay-based business, Orchid Gulch, serve on the DVOS Board and Liz is a Student Judge with CSNJC. Whew! Today, their orchids are no longer committing suicide as they are slowly, but surely moving to mounts. |
