Lovely 😊

[@87meshell87]

Ahhh! Finally an Australian orchid grower, let alone one an hour away from me! Thank you for this video 🙏

[@winnifredmalcolm6099]

Love your videos, I am for from I live in Jamaica

[@lujika3380]

I am so happy for you to finally get the Frances Fox. It is a beautiful division and I’m sure you’ll do very well with it. It’s fragrance is so nice too. Enjoy growing it!

[@stephdang2804]

OMG!! The Francis Fox has been on my wish list too 😍. I'm very jealous!! If Robin is interested I definitely would like to buy a division from her. Can't wait to to see it bloom for you

[@alinparsegian]

Oh my God! Its my favourite! 💝I've been trying to find it since last spring but so I could order everything I couldn't find!And i think i found it now! Happy growing! 💝

[@karylfriedman5788]

It was so nice to see some very happy, healthy house plants. I have a spath, a.k.a. Peace Lily that is 5 feet across, is 43 years old and is in bloom all year long. Currently has 5 huge blossoms. Happiness is getting the orchid you covet and in beautiful condition. Can''t wait to see it thrive and bloom. Stay safe and be well. Looking forward to more videos of your growing world.

[@OrchieDee]

Karyl Friedman I don’t have any peace lillies but I have a few anthuriums! They have a mixed existence at our front entrance.. looking fairly sad currently!

[@ptong108]

Thank you Dee, I am a novice and have learnt so much about how to take care of my orchids by simply watching your videos

[@MelissaWalker82]

I’m sure I’m not the only one who loves house plants too, so it’s nice to see yours :)

[@a-mthomas8585]

Wow 🤩 Myrmecatavola Frances Fox “sun spots” has been on my wish list after seeing it on a MOG video. I wonder if Robin would sell another division or know of another grower in Australia? I too have searched for Phalaenopsis Mini Mark with no luck ☹️

[@trishal2223]

I have a Phal Joy Fairy Tale that I bought from Oceanview Orchids in Tassie. I got it 2 years ago and it was small but very healthy and is almost ready to flower. I’m frequently checking it for a spike! Their orchids are often young but very healthy. I won’t buy seedlings anymore. I’ve lost too many.

[@OrchieDee]

Trisha L very encouraging to know they are here! Oceanview are so overpriced for young orchids :/ .. plants always look healthy but I just can’t justify paying it anymore. Let me know if you ever grow a keiki 😂

[@OrchieDee]

Trisha L I couldn’t help myself and enquiredc😂. Unlikely they’ll still have it though after two years but always worth asking right!

[@trishal2223]

Orchie Dee Definitely!

[@niccienglezos3464]

Omg!!! So excited for you, that’s amazing. That one has been on my wishlist for ages as well. Keep us updated on its growth. And yes Thank you Robyn 😊

[@KP-gw5zv]

Your house plants look wonderful and Congratulations on requiring your wish orchid #5. Looking forward in seeing it in full bloom. Happy Mother's day to your pups and all your orchids. Have a wonderful day.

[@OrchieDee]

Kim Paquette thank you! Happy Mother’s Day to you too xx

[@CheeryOrchids]

Congrats on your wishlist orchid!😀 your wishlist no.1 is endemic to our country, it’s really pretty but I don’t have one yet - part of my wishlist too.🙂 I wish you can get all of your wishlist orchids, I love to see them in your future videos.🙂

[@OrchieDee]

Cheery Colors I hear it’s very fragrant too! I never saw mine in bloom before I lost it!

[@CheeryOrchids]

Orchie Dee hope you find one very soon😀

[@NinjaOrchids]

Awhhhh!!! Love your surprise unboxing 😃 Welcome Frances Fox 🦊 so good to get a wishlist orchid! I hope you find the bulbophyllum 🤗

[@michaelmccarthy4077]

Phal Mini Mark seems to be rare outside of Europe. I have seen it for sale in the states and there is no way in hell I'm paying $100+ for a Phal. Not even gigantea (unless it was flowering). The LD and KS crosses can be found here pretty readily but, again, I have issues paying $45-$75 for a Phal. Congrats on the Frances Fox. If mine would ever bloom, it would be nice. Stupid plant. It was advertised as blooming size but, no, not even close. I had ordered two and ended up with five small plants, I gave away four last year, I wonder if they have bloomed.

[@OrchieDee]

Michael McCarthy yes very expensive plants! I’d consider paying that for proven flowers and pics of a healthy plant (or trusted seller). People are pretty greedy online these days, and eBay is the worst. But I do like supporting local nurseries / sellers especially if they provide good customer support

[@myIsabella53]

Congrats on scoring Mcv. Frances Fox 'Sun Spot'. I Googled it and omg what a beauty! 😍 Similar to your search, there are no online nurseries here in the US that have it in stock right now with the exception of two Ebay sellers - one goes for $80.00 USD and the other for a cool $100.00 (includes shipping charge). You are so lucky to have this. Reaching out to Townsville Orchid Society really paid off (valuable tip!). BTW your houseplants look phenomenal. Happy growing 😊

[@smallshebear]

Congratulations on the Myrmecatavola Frances Fox "Sun Spots"! She is on my wish list as well 🥰

[@wandashaw3551]

Love your houseplants, I've got the same ones, so cool! Good on Robin, that was very nice of her! My wish list is any type of Bellina or Violecia (sp)! Happy Growing. 😍

[@rianmilit]

Congrats on getting it! Robin's shade house looks like an absolute dream! And her handwriting is gorgeous, too. Good luck with your new baby. I also got one, a gift to myself for my birthday (that was the excuse I used for ordering plants twice in a month). Mine, unfortunately, isn't doing too well, I had a pretty good sized plant, with 5 pbulbs and 1 new growth, however, one of the middle bulbs got some sort of bacterial rot on the upper side, and I didn't notice it had veined down to the rhyzome. When I did notice, I had to chop off 2 middle bulbs, so, now, I got stuck with one section with the 2 oldest pbulbs and another with just the newest bulb, that is still growing a new pbulb. Hopefully, I'll save them, however that will set the plant back quite a lot😰

[@OrchieDee]

rianmilit it sounds like you saved it in time! Shame to lose bulbs but if you’ve got a few front bulbs that’s the important thing!

[@rianmilit]

@@OrchieDee Here's to hoping! Still not sure how it rotted from the upper part, but that's that.

[@orchidelirium9102]

Yay that’s so fun!!! Congratulations! Your perseverance paid off. I don’t commonly see novelty phals around my area either. Love Robyns grow space so lovely. One day I suppose 🤣 5000 doesn’t seem like such an out there number these days with all the deliveries lately 🥴😅🤣

[@OrchieDee]

Lol I know!! I’m soon going to have more orchids than I have YT subscribers 🙄

[@orchidelirium9102]

Orchie Dee 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@liverocks62]

You might be able to save the bended leaf, tie it up on a stick securely like a splint so it gets a chance to recover. This trick saved a leaf on one of my Phragmipediums once.

[@OrchieDee]

liverocks62 thanks :) I did use a stake actually in the end. Hopefully it helps a bit but I find the splinting is more effective with developing leaves and growths. 🤞🏼

[@napaw4239]

Catasetum one is sooo pretty!! I'll put it on my list as well. 😁

[@dianeandorchidsatvictorharbor]

Congratulations on getting one of your wish list. Re the phals you are looking for, try Mallee Phallies they may be able to help.

[@OrchieDee]

Diane and Orchids at Victor Harbor thanks Diane, will check them out!

[@peterthomson7773]

Hi Dee, I am an avid collector of Phals. I get lists of flasks from Thailand and Taiwan. If it of any help to you when I get the next list I can look for what you are chasing. Presently waiting for everything to open up again before I can get my next order

[@OrchieDee]

Peter Thomson that’s very kind Peter! Would love to see your collection. Are you on instagram?

[@peterthomson7773]

@@OrchieDee Thank you for your reply. I am a bit of a hermit when it comes to social media but I will be glad to send photos by email. Some of my Phals were rescue orchids and since then I have over 40 different species plus varieties. Many are seedlings though with new species are getting harder to find which is why I am looking further afield than Australian nurseries

[@OrchieDee]

Peter Thomson I too have about 10 seedling Phal species ... just patiently waiting hoping they survive the journey! [e-mail] is my email :)

[@toddstropicals]

Congrats on the new plant! We have a luddemaniana. Too bad Australian customs don't allow shipping from here with plants you could get those wishlist plants in one order.

[@OrchieDee]

Todd's Tropicals tell me about it!

[@toddstropicals]

@@OrchieDee Right, and I could get all those Aussie dends I want and other crazy Aussie plants!

[@dancealiasable]

Can you write what that last orchid down as I can't see it in the description so I can google it to see what it looks like and why you think its so special.

[@smallshebear]

I believe it is Myrmecatavola Frances Fox "Sun Spots" 😊

[@OrchieDee]

Thanks Ulla, yes that’s correct 👆🏼👆🏼

[@dancealiasable]

@@smallshebear thank you. Well my wish list is dendrobium fire wing, dendrobium spectible and dendrobium royal wing. They are so hard to find in Australia.

[@dancealiasable]

@@OrchieDee just googled it interesting but not my type of orchid

[@HeavenLeigh1979]

I bought my Phalaenopsis Joy Fairy Tale from Dean Jackson of Oceanview Orchids last year and I'm so excited it's in bud now 🤗 I also bought my 2 flowering sized Phalaenopsis Lueddemannianas from Alice's Orchids. Both of them have spikes from last year and currently developing new spikes now. One of them has 2 keikis so if you want, I can cut them off and send it to you? Because it really makes no sense for me to own 4 Lueddemannianas 🤦🤣

[@OrchieDee]

Bailey W omg Bailey you’re an angel! I would love a keiki! Perhaps I can find something to swap with you :) . My email is [e-mail] or message me on instagram : orchie_dee xx

[@HeavenLeigh1979]

I just sent you an email with photos 😊

[@martinspijker9661]

big monstera???.. its just a baby..;)

[@OrchieDee]

Martin Spijker haha true!! It felt big while I was repotting it .. especially compared to my orchids 😂

[@YnseSchaap]

That's what I was going to say 🤣 but yes it's a baby

[@martinspijker9661]

@@YnseSchaap slowwww..:P

[@YnseSchaap]

@@martinspijker9661 😁 sleeping in today

[@OrchieDee]

I’ve had it since it was a single leaf cutting 😂

[@j.d.8075]

Am going to make a few of you a little jealous... my monstera grows outside in a garden bed... no pots, no fussing, it is just another edible plant here... sorry, my bad

[@esthersorchids2288]

I love the Summer blooming Phals that others have overseas but impossible to get my hands on in NZ . But I did get some year old seedlings from a very reliable lady who deflasked them. Some species and Violacea, Belina, Schilleriana, on Trade Me at prices I'm too scared to share for such tiny plants.

[@OrchieDee]

Plants are so fickle. It’s hard to justify paying for such young seedlings... but I did learn the hard way!

[@j.d.8075]

We don't have the large laboratories that are producing billions of seedlings a year along with nurseries... ours are all on the small scale - relatively speaking... have a look at some of the orchid labs in Asia and even that of Ecugenera.

[@rachelkillcare5203]

I have the first orchid, I purchased it off eBay as a seedling in 2018 it has two spikes at the moment, I saw one a few weeks ago on eBay not sure if it was the same seller? The name of the eBay seller I got mine from was spider20 . It IS a beautiful phal it’s blooms are so more stunning in real life due to their thick shiny texture and striking colour. ❤️

[@OrchieDee]

Rachel Killcare will keep an eye out! I must admit, I’ve been off eBay I bit. I should turn on notifications again!
