Thank u ❤ I’m going tomorrow 🥳🥳🥳

[@naturenel]

Happy shopping!🤗

[@newmanmansell760]

That Ascocentrum Ampullaceum Alba😵🙏💓💓💓💓Gimme, Gimme😱🤲💖It's absolutely beautiful, and look at the amount of flower spikes Nelson😍I looked it up and it comes from Northern India, Nepal, Butan. What a beautiful, I must grow one.

[@naturenel]

Isn’t that an amazing orchid! Teresita and I were drooling 🤤 over it.

[@griselnunez4274]

Omg seeing this video makes me want to go back Sunday .😜💚

[@naturenel]

Right! I feel the same. Lol!!! Houston we have an orchid problem.

[@lindagrabner4186]

Oh Nelson, lol when you said look how many she got in her hand and then showed her a bigger one😂😂😂😂. So many vendors and beautiful orchids of all kinds. Thank you for sharing and making me laugh with Teresita, love her.

[@naturenel]

Lol! Yes we are trouble together. Lol! She makes me laugh constantly. 😂

[@wonnikasanrokijat1520]

Ooh wow, wish i could be there

[@naturenel]

💚

[@jodeming5088]

I so enjoy watching the two of you shop. Teresita is really excited this year. Excited to see your and her haul. If I shopped with you two I would be in trouble. My wagon would be overloaded in a good way. Thank you for sharing and showing us all the trouble you can get into. Too many beautiful things to buy. Much love and thank you both.

[@naturenel]

🙏🏼💚🤗

[@CindyCenteno-x8w]

Can you do live stream of Redlands orchid show up big fan

[@naturenel]

The signal is horrible there. The vendors barely could do internet charges due to poor signal.

[@sandrasullivan2636]

What an amazing show , so much fun shopping with a friend. Thanks

[@naturenel]

Shopping with Teresita is super fun!🤗🎉💚

[@sandrasutherland.5070]

Love, love all the beautiful orchids. It’s heart breaking not to be there and seeing all the beauties. Thanks for sharing and taking us along. Sew a few people I know from the Bahamas on your video.

[@naturenel]

I met a couple of viewers from the Bahamas at the show. Maybe some day you will visit us. 🤗

[@tuyetvo4353]

Beautiful orchids ❤️

[@bigboxorchid5770]

Thanks Nelson. Nice coverage. Hope you don't get sick due to so much rain. Take care!

[@naturenel]

We got drenched in the rain. Every year this happens. It’s so crazy! They need to change the dates. Lol! ⛈️☔️

[@suemcdowell9723]

You two were so funny trying not to buy more. It would be nice if you did a haul video of Terasita's. She was like a shark. Lol. I mean that in a good way. One day I'll go to this awesome show. Can't wait to see your next video. Enjoy!

[@jillbruce3624]

Oh my gosh. I have a whole written page of plants I want. If you see this in time, I would love it if you could showcase C R Orchids. They are from here, in W. Palm Beach. Recently, Rick (the R in CR) passed away quite suddenly. He is definitely missed in the Orchid community and Candace is carrying on the business. Thank you, Nelson for the amazing footage of this show. Keeping it green!

[@naturenel]

Get that list ready! I’m sorry I’m not going back. I did 2 days of the show. It’s a mad house there. Sorry to hear of his passing😢 If I come across their booth in my outings I will cover the booth. I did cover them last year at Redland. I met Rick and his wife. Super nice folks. My heart goes out to Candice. 🙏🏼

[@frankvitier6086]

I have several I bought from Rick years ago...and recently I've gotten a few from Candice

[@lissette1850]

That is heartbreaking to hear. I bought 2 Oncidiinae hybrids of Kenneth Bivens from her on Thursday. She took her time looking for 2beautiful ones that had unopened blooms. Her son then came to ring me up and was so gracious and kind that on the way out of her booth I stopped to tell her what a wonderful gentleman he was. I had no idea her husband had just passed but am happy that I made her smile for a few seconds.

[@detodoconiris5999]

La verdad que eres el mejor filmándolo todo 😊👍👍👍 podemos ver todo perfectamente ❤💚💚💚🌹💚💚gracias Nel

[@naturenel]

Muchísimas gracias. 🙏🏼 Yo trato de que salga lo más claro posible para que ustedes se sientan que están ahí conmigo. 🤗

[@user-.Ur.Fav.LOPA.]

When do they have the show again how can I order those orchids?

[@naturenel]

They will have an indoor show in November. It’s the Tamiami International Orchid Show. The Redland show won’t happen again until next year in Spring.

[@williammalone8097]

You must have some willpower to put an orchid back down after picking it up!

[@naturenel]

You have no idea!😖

[@newmanmansell760]

That orchid fair blew my mind😱💥🥰I would be up and down the isles holding orchids in both hands and getting confused about what to buy. Those delicate phalaeonpsis in the Taiwan booth had gorgeous orchids, and just about everything at that fair had my heart racing🥺😍💓🥵💓😵💓

[@naturenel]

I’m telling you one needs to be an octopus at these shows. There is just so much beauty everywhere you turn and look. Whiplash! 🤗

[@thatguynamedbrian]

I passed you on my way out, when you guys were talking to Blanca but I was so burnt out from orchid overload, that I didn’t have enough energy to say hi 😂 Maybe next time!! It was a fantastic day otherwise though!

[@stevenali3829]

❤

[@naturenel]

It rains every year at the Redland show. But this year was extra busy with more orchids per booth. Maybe next time we’ll meet. 👍🏼

[@patsfreund9164]

Loved attending the orchid show through your video. Looked as though you and Teresita had a wonderful time together. Hoping you will do 2 videos: 1 of your haul and 1 of Teresita's. It always rains for the Redland Show.

[@naturenel]

Hi Pat. We had a blast for 2 days. I never want it to end. Part 2 is coming soon!🤗

[@frankvitier6086]

It rains EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR.

[@MysticalZucchini]

Joseph Wu's orchids were so beautiful! I made a purchase with them and Sierra Madre's....had to control myself at Ecuagenera but next year I might place a pick up order hehe

[@naturenel]

You chose really great places to shop in.

[@noradiazoap]

Saludos Nel y también para Teresita. Preciosas las Orquídeas en todos los puestos, allí estuviera, pero vivo en Puerto Rico U.S.A. 😊

Tienes que tomar un viaje de Puerto Rico a Miami para uno de los shows. En Octubre viene el Tamiami International Orchid Show. Ese es a dentro de un local grande bajo aire acondicionado. 🤗

[@gloriabischoff13]

Hi Nelson!! WOW this was amazing. Thank you. I plan on making a trip to a show next year…..would you recommend the Tamiami (sorry for misspelling) or the Redlands? I live in SWFL and plan on driving over for the weekend but not sure which is the better of the two. Any recommendation would be appreciated. Thank you.

[@naturenel]

Well they are both great. Tamiami is indoors in AC so you never get hot or wet from the rain. But Redlands for me is exciting because it’s outdoors. It all depends what you enjoy. The park is beautiful if you find time to walk it during the shows. I spend all my time with the vendors. lol! Perhaps try Tamiami first. And you did spell it correctly. 👍🏼

[@gloriabischoff13]

Thank you Nelson!

[@tess.campbell]

One word. WOW

[@naturenel]

🤗💚🤗Glad you enjoyed it. I have more of the show coming up.

[@debbiestumm511]

Please tell me Teri got that plant that you just had to temp her with (Taiwan) booth!!! I so want that plant!! Reminds me of Hawaii!!!! 😊

She got allot of orchids at Joseph Wu booth. I believe we both got that orchid.

I heard that they actually had a booth where you can ship your orchids. But I did not see it myself. Only heard someone say it.

[@sandiesorchids9387]

Thanks

[@mildredkrisik8888]

Oh how I wish someone would do some genetic engineering and produce orchids that can be grown in north Arkansas, zone 6. I'd be willing to break the bank for such beauty! Love your videos. Thank you.

[@naturenel]

They are doing more and more crosses that are stronger in harder environments. Like the Miltonia. They come up with some crosses we can keep in Miami. They are very sensitive to heat. The Miltonia moreliana is a species that can withstand heat better than most Mitonias. It’s native to Brazil. I hope they do some crosses with the moreliana to produce a more heat resistant hybrid. Zone 6 in Arkansas is pretty cold in the winter for an orchid. You would need a controlled environment for the winter.

Hello there. Hope all is well. I had so much fun in Apopka, nice running into you and Teresita. Anyway, which is better Redlands or Tamiami?

[@naturenel]

Apopka is always fun. I like Tamiami because it’s indoors under AC. But both are loaded with vendors.
