Hi there😄🙌Oh, I have a long way to go until the garden looks good. I'm trying to plant more shrubs and trees

Have a great New Year Ziggy!😁🙌

Thanks😁🙌I'm happy you enjoyed watching☺️👏💖

@@newmanmansell760 😊💫💥Happy New Year from Italy!

Hi there😌🙌Yes, that dendrobium was all in bud and flowering. Really wonderful

Hi there😃🙌Thanks for taking the time to watch while taking a coffee break😁

Thank you😌🙌🌟

Enjoy your week☺️🤲🌟And thanks again for your nice comment.

@@newmanmansell760 Thankyou !

Hi Nelson😌🙌I'm getting a lot of rosey fragrance from the flowers now🥰Thanks for your time to comment and enjoy your day🤲☀️

Hi Ziggy!😌🙌It's getting a lovely rosey fragrance now. The flowers remind me of a German Iris Ziggy, and by the way, I just bought a peach coloured one. It's a cutting😅🙌

Hi there😌🙌I appreciate your comment. Have a wonderful day🥰

@newmanmansell760 👋🏻Ciao dall'Italia!!☺️💖

Hi Ziggy!😌🙌Yes, you have a humid Winter, so the cacti don't need water. The tropical Summers here make my cacti get black mold and damage except for some. Thanks for watching Ziggy😃🤲🌟

Hi there😃🙌Yes, hopefully they reward me with a lot of flowers this Spring. Thanks for the comment☺️Enjoy your weekend

Thanks very much😃🙌👏

​@@newmanmansell760 Your welcome !

Hi Melissa😌🙌Oh, you got one😃👏💞Yes, young kong blooms well and today there is a lovely fragrance in the sunroom. I need to watch your latest video on what orchids you bought today🥰🙏

Good question!😅👏

I'm afraid to count☺️👍

Hi there😃🙏Yes, all the Cymbidiums are so beautiful and need a home

Thank you! You too Ziggy!😌🤲🎄

I'm happy you enjoyed that😁🙌🌟

😌🙌💞

Hi Ziggy! I'm sure Cymbidiums will do very well in your place. They enjoy a cool Summer and cold Winter☺️🙏

Hi there😄I have lost many Cymbidiums in the Summer from over heating. I have one that did well last Summer because I kept it in complete shade. In that area of the garden ferns grow too. Now that it's Winter my Cymbidium must endure minus temperatures, although I'm certain it'll be fine. I put it under a small tree where it gets good bright light😌

😅🙌Yes, I did buy the begonia. In Summer I will put it outdoors the shade.

​@@newmanmansell760 👏👏 ... joyous ! Your wife will love it !!! Keep us posted !

Thanks Ziggy! I'm glad you enjoyed the flowers😌🤲

Have a festive season too😄🤲🌟

Oh thank you!😄🙌

Hi there☺️🙌Your home sounds beautiful. Yes, I grow a lot of orchids on my balcony and in the garden too. Enjoy your day😁🤲☀️

Hi Ziggy!😁🙌Yes, the lithops do flower here every year. They even take much more cold than they say

Hi there☺️🙌Sounds nice and warm there. I wear Winter boots now with insulation because I'm feeling cold🥶

​@@newmanmansell760 oh my ☃️❄️☃️

Oh, you did☺️🙌I definitely won't part with mine

Yes, we really need a lot of time to understand how cattleya grow☺️🙌

Thank you so much! 😊🙌

Thank you Ollie. It’s a joy to care for them! 😊🙏

Hi Ziggy!😃🙌Thanks for watching

Hi there😁🙌I'm glad you enjoyed it

Hi Ziggy!😃🙌Yes, it is sunny most of the time here. Last night got down to -2℃, so I see some redened leaves on some dendrobiums. Yes, solstice, but from now the real Winter cold sets in.

Hi there😃🙌New Mexico is the home of Mesa Gardens☺️🙏Yes, I'm doing my best with my Epithlantha. Thanks for the comments and enjoy your week

@@newmanmansell760 That's right! Your geography is better than a good chunk of us Americans who think it's part of Mexico 😆 I live about 45 minutes drive from Mesa Garden Really would like to visit one day!

Thanks so much! 😊🙌

Oh really?🙄That's unusual. I do have 2 new root tips going dormant on my mounted Cattleya. I guess depending on what the Cattleya is hybridized with they have a dormancy

@@newmanmansell760 Its called "Love Avenue Serenade". It was ok because it prompted me to do some research on it. It is a cross of Rlc. Waikiki Gold x Ctt. Rajah's Ruby. Root development on new growth starts after flowering and spike is cut. So even though there is new growth I am thinking root development is in dormancy and it wants very little to do with water now. So I'm keeping it moist but that's it. I'll repot it after it flowers and I cut the spike. It will be needing repot by then.

That's nice weather😌☀️I'm wearing two T-shirts, a top and a double layer jacket and long-johns under my pants here😅👏🌨️

@@newmanmansell760 🥶🥶🥶

They really do! 😊🙌

Thank you☺️🙏💖

☺️🙌Thanks for the nice comment and enjoy your week🤲☀️

Hi Ziggy!😃🙌Oh, maybe no Pokemon. It's going to be very busy when I start the new garden

@@newmanmansell760 Aww, I thought a Pikachu would look good with a Mammillaria 🙂 I wonder if Mrs Zigs would let me have one 🤔😁

Hi there😃🙌Yes, tillandsias are one of my favourite plants

@newmanmansell760 Well ... over the next few days we will be back up in the 80's here for day time high's. We seem to have gone through our first cool spell earlier this year than prior years

@newmanmansell760 Interesting information and "in depth" explanation of predatory mites.

Thank you😃🙌💖

Ela é muito legal! 😄🙌

Yes, some Cattleya don't like water regularly, and they only get interested in water again once the new roots grow from a new cane
