Have not been able to post photos on here before and had to rely on goodwill of some forum members to put photos up for me but with a new compute at hand I think I have done it! will post some random ones just to see if it is working.

Nice nursery setup, Don. All look very healthy.

The Dockrillia linguiforme mounted on the red bottle brush tree looks absolutely gorgeous.  8) I have 3 young plants mounted on a cork slab, quite rare over here...hopefully in 10-20 years mine will look like that.  :)

Thanks for sharing!

Time is like a river.
You cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again.

Hello Don.

I wanted to have a nursery with half of your organization!

The correct job is this, go buying new seeds and have patience that is often lacking.

Great work.

With linguiforme we have tried it on timber pieces and the likes but it just takes right off on living trees. Must be somethin to do with the bark and catching nutrients or something. Put a piece on a tree and it will surprise you. This came from the bush in northern new south wales.

Yeah, I got a nice big one on she-oak bark a while back and put some on a mango trunk last year. It has gone nuts.

That's true with many orchids, Don. Mine are responding quite well on the cork slab...they are busy with new growths.  :) Advantage to growing on cork, instead of wood...they don't rot with the continuous watering.
