They look big; How are they secured to the tree?

Hi Paul
I secure them with wire if they are large
Smaller ones stockings or twine(sometimes galvanised nails if for example they are secured to a horizontal branch)
This Cassia tree has 6 so far
Will be adding some large Elkhorn and Crows Nest clumps on Friday along with another 6 medium size Staghorns
Have also dressed the tree with Hoyas,Vandas and ferns in hanging baskets
My intention is to fully load the tree with epiphytes and create a tropical wonderland where I can sit and relax!
The base of the tree has been planted out with Bromeliads and a unusual Crows Nest (crocodilus sp ?)
I'll post more pics tomorrow to give a better overview of what I am trying to achieve.

Now around 20 Staghorn/Elkhorn clumps
Love 'em...they give a real tropical feel to the garden.
Shade is King in this part of the world!
