I have a customer that wants to purchase this plant mounted on cork. My plants are in 5-6" mesh-pots. Do they do well mounted? The "cluster" of pseudobulbs probably number 8-10. I need someone's expertise in answering this question.

Thanks.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Here is a look at my Myrm. (Schom.) grandiflora mounted on a cedar slab. You could also turn the mount to a horizontal position to give the orchid more support.

Your plant is at least twice as large as the ones I have, Jim. I have in mind mounting my personal one on an extra-dense, extra-thick (2") slab of cork, something about 12"x18" and as you suggested, using it horizontally. I mount half my staghorns horizontally as well. I could just as easily use cedar or cypress and have beautiful plaques of both of these woods.

Can you post a good picture when yours was in bloom? Mine have not yet bloomed and I have two different pictures of what the flowers are supposed to look like.

Thanks.

Sure, Ken. Mine is called Schomburgkia (now Mcp.) grandiflora 'Classic Beauty'. I'm not sure you have the same variety.

I won't know until one blooms. Unfortunately, more often than not, I end up selling a variety before I ever see it bloom. Even though I have the (tiny) tropical plant business, I am and will always be a hobbyist grower, having only a handful of each variety. I always say (to myself) that I will keep that one last plant, but when someone wants it badly enough, I end up selling it.
