Ken, I finally found time tonight to spend some more time on your site, and I love it! I love how passionate you are about the plants, and how it got me excited about the plants! That is a big plus! I've never grown anything remotely tropical, and I'm not sure I'd have any luck with them in Idaho, but I may have to give it a try! It's a really great site, and the photos are beautiful!

The only thing that confused me was the One-Of-A-Kind Plants/Mounts section. What is a mount? That's probably a silly question, since probably everyone who are interested in tropical plants already knows the answer, but I haven't got the slightest idea of what it is. Maybe a little explanation would be good? After all, someone may come along like me, not knowing anything about tropical plants, and then they may just have to have one because they will know what it is. I was thinking that maybe I had missed a section on the left side that said "Mounts", but when I checked, I didn't see that listed as a link.

With that said, I saw afterwards that the Staghorn Ferns were mounted, which I had missed the first time, and it made perfect sense. Oooohh! They are awesome!!! I need to find out if our new house has Low-E glass or not. I've got that glass in my house now, and was told that house plants will not survive because the UV light can't get in. If the windows in Idaho aren't that glass, I'm going to have to get one of them! Actually, I'm not sure that it's the Low-E part that keeps the UV light out, or if it's a coating on the glass, but it's one of those two things.
