I hope you are ok …

That’s a very nice Set up greenhouse and orchid collection you have there Howard

Hello Howard, I wanted to let you know that I always look forward to your videos. Haven’t heard from you in awhile. Hope you are alright. Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year.

Howard, I have been fascinated by plants over the last 10 years but never really had a favorite. Finding your channel has sparked an orchid obsession for me and I have started a collection in a small greenhouse cabinet. I’ve watched all your videos and some multiple times. I can’t thank you enough for your enthusiasm and passion for orchids and for sharing that with us. You are an absolute treasure and I hope you and Fiona have had a very merry Christmas. Thank you x1,000,000 and I am very much looking forward to more videos from you, no matter the subject. Cheers ❤️

Merry Christmas, Howard. I have been rewatched your videos several times. Looking forward to the new one!

Hi Howard, hoping my best wishes for christmas are finding you well. Re-watching all of your videos and still learning new things from them.

I always enjoyed your channel as I am interested in cold tolerant orchids that have good scents. Online Orchid information is abit hit and miss, too often they put alot of effort to describe the flowers, while we can see the picture provided, but rare the scents which we can not see.

Hi Howard, we are missing your updates. Hope you are ok.

Thank you for sharing these videos on orchids on KZbin. I recently purchased a Coelogyne odoardi and have been looking for more information on its culture. Delighted to be able to watch your video. I found it very helpful.

Thanks i love ur Videos a lot we have the same mostly cold Situation and i can use ur experiment alot ❤❤❤😊

Happy Christmas you and yours Howard. David and Lynda

Lovely

Bonjour Howard, la routine n’est pas toujours une bonne chose mais vous n’avez pas publié depuis 3 mois. Au-delà de vos vidéos toujours très judicieuses, j’espère que vous allez bien … Donnez quelques nouvelles s’il vous plaît. … cordialement, Patricia.

Wow the tiny orchid will be looks nice in terrarium

Hope you are well. It seems like a long time has passed without a video from you. I always enjoy seeing your videos, you have such unusual orchids.

Stunning Bifrenaria plants Howard! Leave them! They are happy.

Thanks for the great video Howard. It would be great to have a video tour of your growing space, heating, humidity and general 'life support' setup etc. Thanks!

Hi Howard..I.miss your videos. I hope all is ok with you as we havent seen you on here for a while.

See the following: "The species epithet xyrekes comes from the Greek word ξυρηκής (transliterated as "xyrekes"), meaning "shaved" or "smooth," likely referring to the specific appearance or texture of some part of the flower, like its lip or petals, which might have a smoother, "shaved" look compared to other species."

Thank you for your videos! I am a new subscriber and this is wonderful knowledge. Thank you again

New subscriber here. I really like your content, very inspirational, beautiful orchids. Feels like i am watching an orchid documentary.

what a beautiful orchid! have you considered doing a video touring through all your dendrochilums? that would be really interesting to see. i have a dendrochilum gracile which i struggle to keep humid enough, but has the loveliest scent when she flowers!

Enjoyed your video very much, thank you! I have large division of canhamiana coerulea that fails to flower but sends out abundant growth. We have similar cool and overcast conditions weather. Could you kindly share any advice to make them send those spikes? Would greatly appreciate it

Thanks lovely , my wish list is growing.

Greetings from Kentucky in the US Howard. I actually purchased a Pleurothallis dressleri that arrived in the post today. I ordered it from an orchid grower in Florida. I think I got a good deal on the price as it was $65.00 US dollars. Others I looked at were around $119.00 US dollars. Mine looks slightly smaller than yours. Like yours mine is mounted on cork bark with moss on it. I re-watched this video and I'm excited to try to get this mico-mini orchid to flower. Thanks for the inspiration. James

i ve begun recently watching your videos mr Howard and i really enjoy them. i am learning a lot and i am inspired too

Awesome Howard. I really like your presentations. I enjoy it alot

I wish I have such a nice private green house.

Thank you so much for this video. I’m late to the party only finding out about box caterpillars this week when a relative showed me what was happening to my 8 box balls and picked out caterpillars to show me. I was horrified. I’ve immediately started picking them out by hand while I wait for delivery of the product you mention. It should be delivered today. If you don’t mind, I have two questions (1) am I too late in the year to spray? It’s September (2024) now but I can see the caterpillars wriggling around inside the plants and (2) should I take a dustpan and brush and gently sweep off the dead brown box leaves before spraying. Thank you so much, and for your brilliantly enlightening video.

I love pleione! My climate is far too hot for me to try growing any though. I image they would bake in my 105f+ summers.

Every video on this channel is a treasure. I own only two smaller orchids from a supermarket among my ither plants, but it doesn't matter one bit

My DJ keeps producing hand-sized maple-like leaves coming from brown fuzzey protuberances. Never any flowers tho :(

Fascinating videos. How do you come about your orchids? Asking out of mild curiosity.

The introduction was fun! I am learning a lot from your videos. Do you use a fan in your conservatory?

They are not selling the biological control anymore.

I have recently acquired this orchid, about a week ago, it is a very young plant, thank goodness it is a very healthy specimen so I have hope in growing it successfully. Your orchid is truly magnificent!! Hopefully I can achieve the same results, alas, patience and perseverance will be the order of the day!! I am going to try to repot the plant today and then hopefully it will grow successfully and become a beautiful plant like yours. Thank you for sharing, I love the greenhouse, small, compact and it does the job for what is needed. Have a super day.

Love the greenhouse

Nice one Howard. I placed my Bifrenaria harisonii in a wood basket hope it takes of like yours. We did not see you at the NEC but we will look forward to next time . David

Starting to watch from scratch. I do believe that you need a TV show!! I am so impressed with your videos!

So happy to have found your channel!

Howard any tricks or ideas to encourage the Pleurothallis cypripedioides to bloom? I imported mine over two years ago and it’s grown into nice size plant. About twice as big as the specimen you have. It had flower spikes and still does they’re brown and I think dead but no flowers! 😭 I’ve tried cooler temps more light/less light because I thought maybe it was just too warm. My conditions aren’t very warm to begin with except in summer. I’m stumped. Thank youuuu!

You should also get Jewel Orchids. They have beautiful leaves that look like laced with golden thunderbolts.

Thanks Howard, I found this most interesting. I have just one pot of this outside Orchid. Now I know how to look after them. Your Orchid house is just wonderful. Very interesting.

Hi Howard, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but there is no UK certification for Xentari, so you are prohibited to purchase or apply it in this country. I'm surprised you filmed yourself applying it.

I’m very interested in Aroids such as anthurium and monsteras, but your videos are inspiring me too look into orchids! Just found your channel and I love the quality, beautiful specimens. Thank you Howard!

That is a beautiful colour on your P. honghenensis!

I ❤ your videos, and your way of going about explaining things and variety you manage to grow in rainy olde England! I can only dream!

Howard, this is David (and John) who moved from the Cambridge orchid soc in 2022. I’ve just come across your channel. Love it! I’m sitting here in Cornwall looking at my piece of cattleya canhamiana flowering now. It’s a lovely hybrid and I agree about the scent, stunning.

Hi, love your channel. Very informative. Today i wanted to ask you about your hangers. I am looking at them and wondering if you make them yourself or maybe purchase them. If you make them yourself, it would be interesting if you could share this information. I'm from Venezuela, have a gian dendrobium and need to hang it from the ceiling. I have a wire basket but want to transplant it like you do -- in a separate pot and then place it in the hanging wire basket. But i need to make the wire hanger!

I enjoyed this video very much. You present orchids very well, describe well also. Thank you for explaining everything about miniature orchids. New Subscriber .
