Though I suppose it will eventually rot anyway.<br>No thoughts apart from that anyway... Maybe if you could use it as a kind of place to put some flower pots or something (i.e. same idea as orchids, but less work)?julianhttp://tropical-gardening.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653408897410605247.post-64458034395084223382008-12-15T16:07:20.000-08:002008-12-15T16:07:20.000-08:00Stagehorn fern would look cool mounted on it.Stagehorn fern would look cool mounted on it.debhttp://auntdebbisgarden.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653408897410605247.post-70220300143636580882008-12-16T01:57:58.000-08:002008-12-16T01:57:58.000-08:00Julian-Yeah, it will rot in the end anyway, but ho...Julian-<br>Yeah, it will rot in the end anyway, but hopefully I can prolong its life by placing it indoors or in a protected environment.<br>Thanks for the idea.Zachhttp://plants.zachandchristie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653408897410605247.post-43184395791063812852008-12-16T01:59:53.000-08:002008-12-16T01:59:53.000-08:00Deb-You're right.

In fact, I thought about picking it up myself. Isn't it from our neighbor's on the corner? The staghorn fern would look good. Actually, aren't there some other plants, like bromoliads(sp?) that also might grow on it? <br>I think it would look good to use it as a trellis for the pictured plant and also have some other plants growing on it, as a little plant community. :-) If you need a section of actual metal trellis, I have a piece that I am not using.<br>Great Find!Marynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653408897410605247.post-67561987029976885762008-12-16T15:41:00.000-08:002008-12-16T15:41:00.000-08:00Oooh, I like the Staghorn Fern idea!Oooh, I like the Staghorn Fern idea!Fern @ Life on the Balconyhttp://lifeonthebalcony.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653408897410605247.post-41834105089911588142008-12-19T15:49:35.000-08:002008-12-19T15:49:35.000-08:00[...] Vote Great piece of bark - what should I d...[...] Vote Great piece of bark - what should I do with it?

I have been thinking about doing some drawings of the different types of bark but it means drawing outside ( phew I was tired this week ) but might be a really nice idea for next week..all except Thursday :)..valhttp://pencilandleaf.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653408897410605247.post-77366237305082307392009-02-01T00:33:27.000-08:002009-02-01T00:33:27.000-08:00Personally, I think you should just mount it on pi...Personally, I think you should just mount it on piece of cut to size stained plywood and display it as artwork.

I like taxonomy mostly for south american catfish, but I recently visited washington botanical gardens, and i realized how interesting plant taxonomy is. I have always had a fair amount of plants in the background for my terrariums, and for decoration, but I think I'm going to start propagating all of my arum family plants, and I'm going to start buying up bromeliads like a mad man (my dad thinks they would look nice mounted on bark on walls) <br><br>anyway I look forwards to seeing more posts they are very informative/inspiring<br><br>regards Nicofishnicofishnoreply@blogger.com
