I have virgin, Portuguese cork in sizes as small as 4x6" and as large as 16x24". This is all natural, untreated, flat pieces/slabs and it is priced far lower than found on commercial sites. Contact me via T-Mail if interested and tell me what size you are looking for. I can quote you a cost plus shipping.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.

No problem, Anna. These will be photos of two large slabs, approximately 18x30" and then close-upd of the form/texture of natural, virgin cork. I should have done that. Thanks for reminding me.

I have numerous orchid varieties mounted on cork, in fact the Oerstedella centradenia, sub-compact/miniature, doesn't like to grow any other way. This particular orchid is 80% roots and doesn't like to be "boxed in". I also mount staghorn ferns, tillandsia, and bromeliads on cork.

I stopped at a pet shop last year that sold lizards, etc. and asked if they had cork for sale (it's usually cheaper there than at a garden center). The guy said "oh, we have one piece............someone brought a lizard in and brought a piece of cork. We don't want it.........you can HAVE it!!!" What a deal. Haven't used it yet...........but I will find a need! Green Grin! It's maybe 8x12 or so.

Nothing is better than "FREE"! That's a good size slab of cork. Put it to good use.
