Hoyas, Aroids and Orchids! Fascination of Orchids Show at the Santa Ana Zoo!

It feels good to be plant shopping back home! And what do we have here? More aroids and Hoyas?! It was really cool to see all the beautiful rare collectible Hoyas from Age of Foliage and then also getting to see what Ivan brought from Ecuagenera! The orchids were beautiful too! I have yet to pick up an orchid from one of these shows! Did I finally get an orchid? What did I take home?!

Hi Patrick, i said multi times that your are so lucky to live in your area! I’m so jealous😁😁😁

[@nutmeg33]

Thanks for taking us along!

[@annettesandoval832]

Happy Tuesday, Patrick! Glad you enjoyed the plant show at the zoo and that you went home with a good choice. I went with my cousins Nora and Charlene and we were blown away that you showed up. You were so very gracious to take a picture with me. I will always treasure it. I mean, how many people actually get to meet their KZbin hero???? Your personality is golden. Hope to run into you again in future. Wishing you the best always, cutie. 💗😘💐💕

[@carolynbrowning6194]

Love the plants. My favorite ones were the philodendrons.but a lot had brown and yellow spots for 325.00?? But you always go tobso many interesting places for plants. 😊

[@lindadianamurrell6653]

😍Another fun adventure!

[@breakingburque2200]

First yay! Animals and plants looks so fun

[@Patadendron]

OMG! Lost opportunity! I didn’t even think to look at the animals! But I hope you enjoyed the plants!

[@emilypham5139]

Awwww def saw you walking out when I was walking in, I was too shy to say hi. Also wasn’t sure if it was you

[@Patadendron]

Awww hi!!! Yeah don’t be shy! I love meeting everyone! Hopefully we run into each other again at the next plant show/event! 🥰🙌🏽 did you get anything??

[@marjoriecohn3868]

Hey there. Hello, when were you there. I went on Saturday afternoon around 3. It was a lot less peeps but less plants as well. I was still kinda overwhelmed at the ecuagenera booth though and ended up buying absolutely nothing at the whole show! 😃😄😁😆 i totally love the plant you got! That is awesome. Welcome back! Not as hot as Florida!

[@nickgemerek6820]

FINALLYYYYY!!!! ORCHIDS!!!! lol

[@0929crish]

Hi Patrick! It was so great meeting you at the orchid show! I was star struck and got super shy. I also bought my first anthurium cuz of you! So funny when my husband told you “so you’re the one to blame!” Lol Hope to see you again soon! Keep up the great work!

[@Patadendron]

Ahh! It was so cool meeting you and your husband too! Thanks for saying hi!!! Oooh what anthurium did you end up picking up?? Yes, hope we run into each other again! Enjoy your new anthurium 🥰🙌🏽

[@charlenesandoval6956]

Hi Patrick. It was so nice to meet you at the orchid show. I hope you found one that you liked. Looking forward to seeing what you picked up at the show.

[@Patadendron]

Hi Charlene! I loved meeting you at the show!!! I did find one that I liked! But I forgot to grab it on my way out! 😂🤦🏻‍♂️ hopefully next show! Thanks for saying hi to me! And I hope to run into you again! 🥰🙌🏽

@@Patadendron Oh no.😪😪. Santa Barbara will be having their International Orchid Show next March 11-13, 2022. The displays alone are worth the admission price. Lots of vendors and good prices. Some of the main growers are in the Carpenteria, Santa Barbara area and are open to the public. The growers are part of the California Orchid Trail. (www.californiaorchidtrail com and www.sborchidshow.com). The show is Friday through Sunday and there are also some beautiful nurseries to check out as well. Can't wait to see your next video and hopefully run into you again.

[@Patadendron]

@@charlenesandoval6956 oooh that is good to know! Thanks for all that info!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 I’ll have to look up the orchid trail! I’m very intrigued.

[@charlenesandoval6956]

@@Patadendron Thank you. Here are a couple of places that we have been to: www.terrasolgardencenter.com, www.lasumida.com, www.seaside-gardens.com, www.islandviewnursery.com. The first 2 are in Santa Barbara and the last 2 are in Carpenteria. Orchid growers in Carpenteria thst are really close to these are Westerlays and Gallup and Stribling. There are several more nurseries that we have not been to yet and are looking forward to more exploring. Looking forward to your next adventure. 😀

[@Patadendron]

@@charlenesandoval6956 thank you for the suggestions! So many places! I'm excited to check them all out!

[@jaredwood9403]

Thanks Patrick it's nice to see some orchids. 10000 species of orchids. All you can ever find are phalaenopsis at a 7-Eleven if you're so inclined. The phalaenopsis is cool it's just not the only Orchid out there. Thanks again see you in the next.

[@barbarajustice9499]

That was real nice a lot of plants I wouldn’t know what to look at first !! So many people I would have felt claustrophobic lol mainly because of covid thank you for sharing LOVE your glasses

@@barbarajustice9499 Ok. I just wanted to check in with you off line to see how things were going on the work front. Do you still do Scentcy?

[@norasandoval8499]

Hi Patrick It was so nice to see you at the orchid show. Did you pick up an orchid while you were there? There were so many different types of beautiful plants to choose from, but that is what makes these shows so much fun. Can't wait to see what you picked up.

[@Patadendron]

Hi Nora! I loved meeting you at the show! Thanks so much for saying hi! I was just telling Charlene that I found an orchid I liked but I completely forgot to get it on my way out from ecuagenera! 🤷🏻‍♂️ I got distracted lol hopefully next time! Hope to run into you at another show! 🥰🙌🏽💕

[@1977fala]

Hello 👋 It was nice to talk to you at the show. I came home with 10 plants 😂🙄😂!!! I noticed that was much cheaper to buy the plants on their website than at the show. Well … someone had to pay for their plain tickets 🤣 Have a great day ☀️

[@Patadendron]

Hello! Yes! It was so cool to meet you at the show! Wow! 10 plants! How exciting! What did you get and how are they doing? 💕 You definitely helped pay for their flight! 🤣🙌🏽

[@1977fala]

@@Patadendron They still alive 😂. They are in the water right now in the little pop up green house. Maybe tomorrow I will put them in the sphagnum moss. They need to grow better roots. Philodendron plowmanii Philodendron el choco red Philodendron melanochrysum Philodendron nangaritense Anthurium pallidiflorum Anthurium regale Anthurium waterburyanum Anthurium magnificum 2 x Anthurium argyrostachyrum “Velvety” (I bought two by accident 😳) WOW 😂😂😂

[@brendauecker3768]

Hi Patrick. So many plants and different orchards. Oh my I would have went crazy seeing all the Hoya. I love watching all of them grow. Maybe I could have could an Australis Lisa Hoya. I should propagate some of my Hoya’s but I’m afraid too. I don’t want to kill them but would like to make the pot fuller. Thank you for the video’s. Take care Patrick.

[@Patadendron]

You should try propagating! It’s hard at all with Hoyas! I have a good success rate with rooting Hoya in perlite, moss and water!

[@yollybarrientos6652]

Man I missed it

[@rowenaangeles4644]

Hi Patrick. Thank you for your videos. I love plants. Is there another plant show coming up?

[@Patadendron]

Hi! Not that I know of, but u do know that Ecuagenera will be back in Calabasas this December!

[@shirleywilhelm1495]

I hope you learn to Love Hoyas. There unique!

Oh I love them! I’m obsessed actually 😅 They really are unique! Love the hairy ones especially 🥰

[@katigarrido]

Hi Patrick! Question, do you hear about these events on Instagram? I’m wondering how I can find out about them so I can go but I have no social media accounts so it’s hard. Anyways, thank you for the video!

[@Patadendron]

I found out through ecuagenera’s website! I had placed an order and I was going to pick them up from the show in Miami but then I saw that they were going to be in Santa Ana shortly after so I thought it be better to pick them up near my house where I can perform plant triage 😅

[@marjoriecohn3868]

Are you on Facebook. There are some OC FB groups and someone usually posts about shows. OC Plant Share is one and OC Plant Enthusiasts is another.

[@katigarrido]

@@marjoriecohn3868 I don’t either but thank you so much anyways for the suggestions!

[@invinciblecucumber]

I would never understand hype about hoyas, they look so common to me.

[@Patadendron]

I was the same way! Until I got one to flower… now I’m in love with their growth pattern, their foliage and flowers! Little botanic gems from the worlds most beautiful and remote jungles 🥰
