Its finally here! My latest haul from the past 3 orchid and plant fairs I visited in Spring.🌺

[@peggytorrez6467]

Thank you Nel for beautiful video as always. I had no idea about how the ads work from now on I will let them run. I would skip because I just wanted to watch your video and didn't want it eterupted but it is worth it to let them run I loved your little tour of your home and how beautiful your kitty cats almost compete with your orchids lol and the gifts from your friends just shows how highly they think of you it shows you are a good good person. Thank you again look so much forward to your next video

Beautiful orchids Nelson

[@allyk7476]

Beautiful orchids Nelson. I appreciate you and all you do for your viewers so I will definitely look at the ads till the end now. Thanks for mentioning it because I think most viewers don't know that. My antenna went up when you mentioned that vendor that didn't want to be showcased. Who wouldn't want to be showcased by Nature Nel. Very strange indeed.

[@naturenel]

Hi Ally! Thanks for the support. Yeah that man seemed very suspicious. It was extremely surreal. 🤔

[@19YVO]

Thanks Nelson have an awesome day greeting from the Netherlands

I fell in love with that same bottle of whiskey when I spotted it at the Stanley Hotel bar in Estes Park. I took pics so I wouldn’t forget it, because I want one. And I don’t even drink whiskey 🥃 😁

Beautiful painting .

[@baileywolf5641]

Im glad you explained not skiping the ads I will try to do better at not passing them by. So happy you are coming to my neck of the woods soon. Hope to see you at The Mounts Botanical Gardens. Its always a great plant sale. They have 2 large plant sales each year Spring and Fall and a couple smaller sales incliding an orchid one. You will love it there. RF orchids will be speaking. I think your buddy that gave you the whiskey was there recently. Sandy from WPB.

[@naturenel]

I’m looking forward to it! Hope to see you there. 🤗

[@carolobadal7468]

oh great video , oh yes I ordered the bulb. Graveolens From krull Smith !!! Excited for it to come 🤗I just needed that little push. My bulb medusae from sorora doing great also …thank you

Awesome!!! Those 2 are such cool Bulbophyllum. Let me know when yours starts to spike. I’m waiting impatiently. Lol!

[@wandashaw3551]

Hi Nelson, point one watch ads on Nelson's channel, Done. Point two, your haul is great. And last point on the weird story, giving orchids to children.... I can only say don't take candy from strangers. Love your channel!

[@naturenel]

Thank you Wanda! And yes, that man was totally off. There was something not right. I truly hope he was doing it out of goodness. These days one never knows.

[@uhaneokalanijames8029]

nelson set up a patreon account, its okay to do. you work hard at this channel. patreon will off set those who skip the ads...lol i hope you get $ for those who have premium accounts because the ad companies get $ from those accounts so you should be getting something for the premium ones as well. ty for sharing, and don't skip the ads people, let them play while you fix a snack or drink.

I may just do that. Thank you for the tip. 🤗

[@lindagrabner4186]

You got some beautiful orchids and a beautiful phal from strange person. Did not know that about the ads, won’t skip them. Tiago is so like my cat, had to laugh and angel did look guilty. The pot holder was a fantastic idea, now I want to try bc my space is limited. Morris is also sooo cute. Thank you for sharing

[@naturenel]

Hi Linda! I’m glad you like the hanging Mokara idea. The boys at OFE were wowed when they saw it. Now they want to do it as well. I’m gonna do more of those. 🤩

I don't ever see ads on your channel Nelson

[@naturenel]

You’re the lucky one. There are ads for sure cause monetized. Unless you already pay a monthly fee to KZbin for free ads. There is that offer as well.

[@curlenecharles2538]

@@naturenel no never paid KZbin, I want you to become monetized because you do such an excellent job keeping us informed and entertained 😊

[@dioleo13]

Dear Nelson, first of all, you found the perfect place for that painting. It fits in as if it was meant to be there. Stunning! Now, as for the skipped ads. I had no idea. I'll make sure I watch at least some of them from now on. But I would also gladly donate to your channel. If I can find that function on my computer--it doesn't appear on my phone--i will set up regular contributions. Love your channel!

[@naturenel]

Awe! You are so kind. Thank you so much. I may start a Patreon as a viewer suggested. I’m still learning more and more each day with KZbin. As my viewership and subscribers go up, KZbin gives my channel more opportunities to raise funds for the channel. 💚

Hey Nelson.... My mini vandas Pixie Dust's both are blooming like crazy lately... Absolutely love them. They are thriving in my indoor case and never seem out of bloom this past year. Lots of buds on all my Bulbos right now as well. I have several types of sundews in my case as well, they do a nice job of catching any bugs that find Thier way in. 😅 Keeping It Green kiddo.... 👍🏻

Thanks you Robert! I’m loving my Sundew. It’s actually growing new stems. Super excited. 🤗

Enhorabuena por tanta Bellesa saludos desde canarias

Muchas gracias!🙏🏼🤗💚

[@PC-zg3eo]

Nice haul Nelson. Your orchids are just popping! I think if you give the Chysis you got from Smiley more light, it will bloom for you. The leaves are thin but they do take quite a bit of indirect light.

[@naturenel]

Awesome. I just moved it to the work shack close to the ceiling which is a diffused clear roofing. Lots of light. 🙏🏼

[@sandiesorchids9387]

Awesome thanks, Nelson. I would love to talk to you about putting a photo on canvas.

[@naturenel]

Do you want the information of the frame shop? As far as printing on canvas I don’t have any information on that anymore. The person that used to print on canvas for me has retired. But I’m sure you can look it up online. Now a days they have many online companies that will print photos on canvas.

[@sandiesorchids9387]

@@naturenel Ya I think that I have a company here or I should say in Canada. Just was curious about the procedure.

[@paws4youapplications522]

I love that excuse. I do have this but i don't have this size. LOL.... A new reason to get an orchid. But you were so good. I would have gotten so many... LOL Crazy orchid woman gone WILD...

[@paws4youapplications522]

by the way I need that Vanda, for her i would make space.... In AWE....

[@naturenel]

Lol! I know. I thought about it afterwards and thought the same thing. 😂 I guess what ever it takes to convince ourselves of one more orchid. 🤩

[@curlenecharles2538]

Hi Nelson what I've learnt with stanhopea is that they grow better in basket culture nestled in a mound of always moist spagnum moss. I've collected some plants that we have growing here in Trinidad and they bloom constantly that way! Excellent haul as always!

[@naturenel]

Absolutely. That’s exactly what mine is in. She is growing beautiful. I’m just being impatient with the bloom. 🤩

[@curlenecharles2538]

Please let us know where we can view them thank you

[@tinasachs8688]

Beautiful haul! Sounds like you guys got quite a pownpour again! Okay...where to start ... the teeny tiny leptotes biolor reminds me very strongly of laelia lundii, which is on my list for next month. The guy in the crazy story? I thought maybe he was just trying to sell his private collection but then he also could've just said so... weird. I would have not let go of the s. japonica either! Can't wait for mine to get a spike. Btw, since you love cranberry and yellow - look for sedirea japonica X vandopsis parishii! so beautiful. I had a young plant of it last year but sadly she didn't make it for too long. The little sun dew with your nepenthes looks like a drosera spatulata. Can be either green or red, I believe. The photograph looks great in its new place!

[@naturenel]

Just looked up the Sedirea Japonica. 😍😍😍Wow that orchid is gorgeous!

[@Orchids365]

Beautiful new additions. I was gifted the Jaiponica as a seedling a few years ago and I’m hoping that soon it’ll be blooming. Definitely a rare cutie. I’m happy that you liked your keep it green strawberry basket 💚🥰. I like that idea of hanging the vandas on the pot holder. I’ve been reorganizing and I have one that I could try that with! Thx for the idea. 😊

I’m waiting for the right Vanda to put in that cutie crate. 💚🤗

[@orchidsinparadise2438]

Where do I begin? Lol The story about the guy was really strange, the fact that he was giving plants to kids but was very adamant about you not mentioning him or showing him in your video is a little weird I’m not gonna lie. Hopefully it’s all innocent but nowadays you just never know. Your artwork looked beautiful in the hallway 😍 Tiago is gorgeous! Angel looked so guilty 😂 And of course the orchids! 💕💕💕 I loved so many of them it would be too much to mention 😂 Btw, I think it’s time for another Quictent, it’s getting a little crowded in there 😃 Mahalo for another great video 🤙🏽

[@naturenel]

Aloha! I agree with all of the above. And yes, Angel had guilt written all over her face. She broke a gorgeous glass candle ornament that is a pair. I still have one left which I moved away from the window. She goes crazy with the birds so she knocked it over. As far as the mystery man, some day we will know why the secrecy. Someone had told me that maybe he is doing this business illegally. I just can’t wrap my head around it. I’m stilled puzzled. In a world of all types of crazies, one never knows exactly the reason why people do certain things. 🤨

[@Visgoth]

Was that vanda hanging with Krull Smiths' others in their public display racks?

[@naturenel]

Oh no! That Vanda was in one of the nurseries in a crate ready to put out for sale. I caught it before it went out on the floor. 🤩

[@newmanmansell760]

I enjoyed watching Nelson😌🙏💖Come to my home and film me and my plants anytime! Oh, that sedirea japonica is from Japan where I live and I don't even own one yet🥴Your Chysis is such an amazing orchid, that beautiful color.

[@tuyetvo4353]

Hi Nel , I bought 1 miniature Vanda- from Orchids show (Pasadena) in Sept - only 2 healthy roots - since no more root - and grove . I water everyday + soaking in water …. but no luck . What can I do ? to take care miniture Vanda? Thanks Nel ,

[@naturenel]

Try feeding it with root growth once a week together with 20-20-20 and cal mag. Some times mini cattleyas can be fussy. I’ve had a few that have not acclimated well. Feed at a weak amount of 1/2 teaspoon per gallon when feeding weekly.

[@tuyetvo4353]

@@naturenel / I did soak mini Vanda / (not Cattleyas) in 20-20 + little Epsom salt every day - but did not help for Vanda to grove. I like to order Vanda in the pot or basket and Cal Mag . Last winter some of my Phalaenopsis did not make it but Dendrobium and Zygopectalum doing well. Thanks Nel.

[@uhaneokalanijames8029]

you have to question why a grown man would be so rude to adults wanting to support his business with free advertisement and make a purchase, but cater to little kids giving them free plants...weird and creepy... also hiding his face, business name, and plants from marketing. somethings not right with that.

[@orchidsinparadise2438]

I agree. Something is really weird about that situation.

I couldn’t agree more. It was very very weird. 😳

[@naturenel]

Yes. Definitely watching the whole video helps the channel greatly. I did notice that myself. Perhaps I should mention it. 👍🏼

[@johncspine2787]

Hmm..maybe that person gets some of their orchids from the wild illegally, or some such “don’t want to have their face/name/business” online thing..why else would someone act that way?

[@johncspine2787]

Might cross reference their name with any public online offender registry..did they start to act weird right after you said you noticed they were interacting with children? I hate to “go there,” but..society is what it is nowadays..

[@naturenel]

I don’t think so. The orchids he sells are commercial orchids. Those type of hybrid Phalaeonopsis and Dendrobiums don’t grow in the wild.
