Go behind the scenes of the greatest orchid festival in the country. Also helpful hints to prep. ☀️

This almost live, unedited video was taken Thursday May 16th, 2024. A day before the grand opening of the Redland’s International Orchid Show 2024. The Motes family have been running this fair in South Florida for 25 years. Every year it get better. This episode is to show what the vendors do to help make this show possible. There is what I call “organized chaos”. In the end it all comes together to bring you the largest orchid show of its kind in the U.S. join me and Teresita as we take a trip to Fruit and Spice Park located in Redland, Florida. We also give you guys helpful hints on how to prep for the show before going. Do’s and Don’t s to avoid mishap. Have a fun day at the fast. ☀️ #orchidshow #orchids #blooms #floridalife #floridaparks #fruitandspicepark #blooms #cattleya #greenhousetour #vanda #flowers

I can see why he’s your husband!! 😂 Have a blast 💥 ❤❤❤

Loved your preview of the show. Joseph Wu has so many beautiful orchids!!!! I think I would need to bring 2 wagons. Thank you soooo much for all your videos ❤

[@naturenel]

Joseph Wu is one of my favs at the international shows.

[@naturenel]

Your husband is a gem for doing that. What a thoughtful man. 🙏🏼

[@lorrym48]

And i thank you for bringing us with you on those tours. I was in Redland in 2016 I believe and seeing it through your eyes again brings back fond memories. ❤❤❤❤

[@naturenel]

Im happy to bring you some good memories of your visit through my video. 🤗

[@m3msilva]

Thank you for sharing the show with us. I was supposed to be there but had no companion to go with me from CA so I will live it through you. 😊 maybe next year.

[@naturenel]

Awe! Sorry about that. Hopefully you can make it to Tamiami in April.

[@lorrym48]

I'm so jealous of you guys being so close to all these beauties.... and me so far away in the Caribbean 😂. Glad to say we're hard at work preparing our own show here in Curaçao of our local Orchid Club on June 1 and 2 ❤

[@naturenel]

It is quite the blessing to have all these shows at reach. That’s why I started this channel. I figured I could bring these shows to your homes across the world. 💚

[@thewarroom-anendtimeschurc8323]

Tell Bart Motes thank you for the preview. So helpful. We’re on the way and can’t wait to see it all.

Sorry you weren’t able to make it. There’s always next year!🤗

[@tlmiam1]

I wish I was in the area, I miss the best growing season for orchids! I have to plan this better. I’m in NY now, so at least I’m not too far away. I was down in the Redlands last June, and there wasn’t much going on. I have to plan a trip at a better time.

[@naturenel]

June is when everything gets quiet here. It’s just way too hot from June to August. 🥵

[@jodeming5088]

Thanks for the sneak peek! You guy’s are going to have fun. Make sure to take a wagon with you. I know you two are going to shop till you drop. It’s so hot here so stay hydrated! Can hardly wait to see the haul video. Teresita you need to start filming too! You also have the personality for it. Thanks again

[@naturenel]

Lol! Teresita film? She can’t film to save her life. I’ve tried. It’s hopeless. lol!!!
