Orchid Bloom Spotlights | Black, Blue & Marzipan Orchids! Monnierara, Coelia and Cleisocentron

[@TheOrchidRoom]

Hey guys! Just thought I'd clarify something I said here, as I did a bit more research after filming, and don't want what I said to be misleading! I speculate here about the Monnierara having male and female parts and therefore a 'perfect' flower, because I couldn't find a single picture of a female flower, only one flower form seems to be present. Since it is 50% Mormodes, which have 'perfect' flowers, I came to the conclusion it had taken after the Mormodes parent. However, after more research it seems to be a sterile hybrid, so maybe it isn't correct to say either way? I can't confirm the accuracy of this but there are no registered hybrids for it either.... Sorry if I was misleading at all! If anyone has more info I'd love to hear more! 🙂 Orchidroots profile: bluenanta.com/detail/100116398/hybrid/?tab=sum Thanks for watching! 🙂

What a beautiful video - the fragrance of orchids is unsurpassable - the orchid room is the dwelling of the virtuous person - Nam Myoho Renge Kyo

Very well done presentation of some gorgeous orchids :)

[@TheOrchidRoom]

Thankyou Melissa 💗💗💗💗💗

[@clawtooth35]

I'd love to see the Cleisocentron crossed with one of the more purpley-blue big vandas like the Bai Blue or Royal Blue -- or maybe even a Phalaenopsis like a particularly blue Violacea :o

[@motled]

Wow, these are so cool. I didn’t know orchids like this existed. You have an amazing collection. Thanks for this, and all of your, video(s)! 🤩

[@TheOrchidRoom]

Hi Maureen! Thankyou! They are definitely a bit different, I just love how diverse orchids can be! Thankyou for watching! 🙂

[@alqaeda7749]

For having that on our garden maybe its just a Big Dream Come True. 😍😍😍

[@p4ul1010]

I really love the professionalism on how you made your videos and how you present your content, hope you keep up the great work!! ✨

[@TheOrchidRoom]

Hi Jean! Thankyou, I'm trying to improve my content so I'm really happy you think it's heading in the right tracks! So much to learn with filming etc. Thanks for watching 🙂💗

[@liverocks62]

Stunning colors, really nicely filmed with the interesting backdrop🎗📹🎦

[@TheOrchidRoom]

Hey! Thankyou! I've wanted to invest in a better filming setup and lighting for a while, but hadn't set aside the money...So this month, the black flowers pushed me to do it so I could get better images of it 🙂

[@liverocks62]

@@TheOrchidRoom It really paid off, well done!👍🏼

This black orchid is just spectacular.

Thankyou 🙂💗

[@Marco37102]

Hi Annabel! Uau 😲 amazing colors! I have to tell you that my wishlist grows every time you show us such amazing flowers. Once again congratulations for being such an amazing orchid grower. Love your videos. 🥂😘

[@TheOrchidRoom]

Thanks Marco so much, it means alot 🙂💗 Hope you are well!!

[@TOEKIEWORLDMarc]

a good informational video

[@TheOrchidRoom]

Thanks Marc 🙂

Once again you have great wonderful orchids. Awesome. The Monnierara Millennium Magic "witchcraft" is on my wish list. The only thing that is stopping me from getting a catesetium orchid is they are prone to spider mites. So we shall see. Especially if I would grow them indoors. All the blooms are gorgeous and like I have mentioned you are a great grower and teacher. Have a wonderful weekend.

[@TheOrchidRoom]

Hi Kim! (I'm sorry if you aren't Kim and I'm guessing wrong!) Thankyou 💗 Yes, spider mites have been a real issue for me with them this year 😥 I need to be more proactive next year. Luckily they lose their leaves so the damage doesn't carry over anyway 😅 Thanks for watching!!

[@KP-gw5zv]

@@TheOrchidRoom Yes you guessed right. I am Kim.

[@noahokin5581]

Loved it! Great work, very educational as always ❤️

[@TheOrchidRoom]

Thanks Noah 🙂💗💗💗

[@sleepgas]

My triple M is still in bud... Last year I provided the care that you just related and this year it had two large spikes I lost one long Spike mistakenly spraying them for fungus gnats I didn't realize my alcohol was the 99% industrial strength.... Being more vigilant about reading labels now.. These flowers are stunning

[@sheries5363]

My MMM is in spike right now. Last year it grew two nice spikes, one bloomed before the second, so I had nicely prolonged bloom time. BUT, I have never detected any scent from my plant. Maybe my nose?👃 When it blooms this time, I’m going to try my best to detect any scent throughout the bloom period, at various times of day, and I will probably ask a friend or two to give it a deep sniff to see if it is just me. 😂 Regardless, a beautiful and unique bloom. 😍 I have the cleisocentron on my wish list, but I live in a warm climate, so it could be a real struggle. It might just stay on the list and not in my care until I move house. 🤔

[@MilanOfCreagan]

Amazing trio

[@TheOrchidRoom]

Thanks Milan 💗🙂

[@Ian-pf2pw]

My monnierara is in spike can’t wait to smell the blooms, thank you for the tips!

[@TheOrchidRoom]

Ooh so exciting! I can't wait for yours to bloom, the flowers arenso much better in person!

[@olya4903]

These are all so stunning! Your spotlight videos are some of my favorites. Do you think the Millennium Magic 'Witchcraft' would be a good first catasetum-type to try?

[@TheOrchidRoom]

Hi Olya! Thankyou! I saw a comment from you a while ago about the tolumnia that I can't find now, sorry, but I saw it and thankyou for remembering 🙂 I think it would be a good first catasetum type, it's new growth this year is double the size of the one I got it with, and that's with very little effort on my part! Thankyou for watching 🙂💗

[@lisadewyngaert9028]

I also have a Cleisocentron, Tough to get any information about them!!!

[@TheOrchidRoom]

Mine lived in a cooler room iver winter and didn't grow much so I've just moved them to a warmer location- all the info out there that I can find says cooler and moist, but I think they're actually more comfortable at the lower end of intermediate. They're still alive and have good roots 🙂

[@Latnman101]

i love the smell of the millennium magic!

[@TheOrchidRoom]

It's probably a little polarising, but I like it too! So minty fresh 😆

[@AttainableGreen]

Gorgeous! How is it that you always have such beautiful blooms?! I’m still waiting for my MMM to bloom...it’s still in spike but looks like it wants to bloom for Halloween 🎃.

[@TheOrchidRoom]

Back at you Jess! I dont think I have any more beautiful than many growers, I guess I just escalated my addiction faster 🤣 Ooooh Halloween Black magic! How perfectly timed!

[@dannisorchidjourney]

🤩😱 what gorgeous blooms. But I am needing to add the orchid that smells like cherry almond to the HAVE to HAVE List! Made me crave almond cake.

[@TheOrchidRoom]

Yesss you have to get it if you like almond smells, I dont know if you ever smelled it, but there was this L'Oréal kids 2 in 1 shampoo, cherry almond flavour, that I used to use well above when I was a kid because of the smell. The Coelia bella smells just like that! 🙂💗

[@dannisorchidjourney]

The Orchid Room getting it TODAY!! Lol

[@jokennedy2943]

Lovely 😊🌺🌸

[@NicoleDeanna]

My Monnierara Millennium Magic is in bud and will bloom soon. All of the buds look different, like some are warped looking and some buds normal looking and tighter. Hopefully all of them will open, but I'm curious if the funky buds are due to it being a first time bloomer for me

[@TheOrchidRoom]

A few of my buds blasted because I let it dry out a few times, I'm not sure if that helps at all but it definitely fusses when it has buds! I hope all of yours open OK! 💗

[@NicoleDeanna]

@@TheOrchidRoom thank you!! Good advice! I watered twice a week, but my temps got really high this summer, so must've been that. On the bright side they opened up yesterday! Two blasted, but it's ok. Love your videos, you have me experimenting with self watering semi hydro + pebbles ♥️

[@NinjaOrchids]

I am completely polarized now because I've had to resort to using my daughter's Samsung and don't know,what I'm doing! My iPhone packed up so no Instagram until I get it sorted next week sometime. I love this video and all the spectacular blooms! Beautifully narrated 🤩 my Jack of Diamond is in spike, my black pearl is just gone bonkers gigantic but no spike ...love this video! Please,stay in touch via email 😶

[@TheOrchidRoom]

Oh no, poor iPhone!! Are you filming with the Samsung? They have really good cameras! Thankyou 🙂💗 I hope you get your phone sorted soon!

[@NinjaOrchids]

@@TheOrchidRoom the phone has gone bye bye! Apple tech says its a hardware problem ... its history! I have kept it just in case I can afford to get it fixed as a 'treat one day, but yeah... its Damsung now because I don't have the connector for my Osmopicket that fits Samsung ... ill do my best and judging by your footage, which is stunning, its probably going to be better 😅🤞

[@loho1125]

Beautiful blooms👏👏! Which orchid did you pollinate with the Cleisocentron merrillianum x gokusingii🤔?

[@TheOrchidRoom]

I pollinated 6 or so orchids, waiting to see what takes, so far 5 of 6 have dropped. One potential phal cross but it'll probably abort!

[@TheOrchidRoom]

The one remaining is Phalaenopsis Su's Glad Kid 'Blue' x Cleisocentron merrillianum x gokusingii. It's swollen alot but they can often drop in the first few weeks. Probably unlikely to make it, but initial signs are promising at least.

[@loho1125]

@@TheOrchidRoom Fingers crossed!

[@GoldenArrow297]

One dislike until now must be from a spider mite. :)

[@michaelmccarthy4077]

On the subject of blue orchids, maybe you should try to get a Dendrobium parvulum? The flowers are absolutely tiny, the plant is absolutely tiny.

[@TheOrchidRoom]

I'll keep an eye out! There is a dendrobium hellwigianum x den. violaceum blue that I saw once before and kicked myself for not getting, so pretty!
