LOL I was thinking doing the same thing, Using a potted plant though.. Like a small bush or buffalo grass clumps etc..

[mitchman]

so do you think it would work i have a squirrel that i did a realy good job skinning on and  no hoes cuz it was a road kill so i want to make it look good when its done itsclimbing down a fence post but im just going to make it climbing down hill sorta. i want to make it on a base to make it real nice but i have no idea what to do to make a base all well ill figure it out. by the way if youread this amy i saw a really nice mount you did like what im going to do. i like it.

barring a complete mico environment, it would be very difficult at best to grow native outdoor plants inside with any mount. The need for artificial full spectrum light, water and nutrient management, plus temperature controls . possibly very slow growing plants like succulents and cacti in desert scenes migt work with artificial light, but grasses, vines etc from outdoors will not grow well indoors and they will show signs of lacking light. dried or artificial plants are really the only practical avenue, unless you want to continually maintain and replace plants. paul
