I really appreciate the advice that you gave me to try to bloom my bellinas! Thank you, Paula 🙏💕

[@hillbillyorchids]

@Nekko70 Hey sweetie I never forgot either and had you on my mind and it came up in my conversation with Rick L so it never left my mind. That was only thing that I can think of that they are not getting enough. Give that a go and please keep in touch! I posted a proper thank you on my community posts. ☺️🌹🩷

Hi Miss Paula. You have beautiful orchids everywhere. My Nellie Isler has sprung a spike. Should see her in bloom soon. I’m really excited about my Brassavola Little Stars. She has 4 spikes and it looks like I should have 7 flowers. My Brassavola Nodosa only has one spike. Have a great relaxing weekend hugs sis. 🫂🎀💕🌸🥰

[@hillbillyorchids]

Hey sweetie that's terrific news! Oh I can't wait to see little stars! Please share when she blooms! You know I love bloom pics! You have a fantastic weekend too sis! 🤗🌹🩷💚

Thanks Paula. The weather here in Wisconsin has also been bi-polar. I miss the Yoshi unboxing gang...the times just haven't been right for me.

[@hillbillyorchids]

@tess.campbell Hey sweetie 👋 yea Yoshi has been all over the place in his times of unboxing! It's been crazy! I sometimes forget to go to his Instagram to see when he's doing it. Mostly I luck out and see it pop up on my phone. Hopefully things will get back to some what normal. Miss you too dear! ☺️Have a wonderful weekend 🤗 🌹 🩷 💚

Hey Paula, You must have gotten the warm weather I had been enjoying. Now, all of a sudden, we are really cooling off and by Monday, we will be in the 40s and lows down to low 20°s!🥶 As always, your blooms are beautiful. Can't wait to see your Golf Green 'Hair Pig'. It's on my wishlist. Hugs, Sherrii ❤

[@hillbillyorchids]

Hey sweetie yea it's now back to cool again! 😂this weather is crazier than I am! 😂sad but true! 😂 yea I'm excited to see Golf Green Hair Pig! This was a gift from a wonderful friend i don't hear from or see much of lately 😢wish she would come back. 😊 I miss her! Orchidelirium, have you heard of her? She is such a great person. I think got ran off by some bad folks in the orchids realm. Sad that they are here,but they are! Tread lightly! 😂 have a wonderful weekend 🤗🌹🩷💚

[@sheiselwilliams1]

@hillbillyorchids Hi Paula, Yeah, our weather is crazy too.🤪 And people say climate change is fake.💩 I haven't heard of Orchidelirium. I will look for her channel. Maybe if someone is watching all her old videos and commenting, it will bring her back. I always love to find new orchid resources. Thanks for the recommendation. It's too bad people can't be kinder.😢 If you can't say something nice,...... Well, you know. I really get angry about people who are rude and hateful. That's one of the reasons I'm rarely on X (Twitter). Everyone wants to turn everything into a political statement or tear others down. 🤬 God bless you sweetheart! Hugs, Sherrii💜

[@hillbillyorchids]

@sheiselwilliams1 Hey sweetie your exceptional! Your the people I adore! I want to thank you for being so kind! I do have my political views but I don't think that has any place in my orchid channel! That's not what it's about. Sometimes my life plays more of a roll in my channel than it should. But it shows folks that you can have ailments but still grow amazing orchids! 😁 but i try to keep it light and airy and enjoyable 😁😋😆 I try to keep the bad folks away! 😂😂 but I appreciate you and your support of my channel so much! She (Brenda) has some videos when she was in Hawaii and she did have some videos on Instagram. She deleted her Instagram. I'll have to look and see if she is on KZbin still. Have a wonderful weekend 🤗 🌹 🩷 💚

[@sheiselwilliams1]

@hillbillyorchids I know what you mean about political views not mixing with orchids. Sometimes, it doesn't mix with friends either. I lost a couple of long-time friends this year, one on each side of the fence because I am middle of the road and wouldn't "take their sides."😭 I don't care what other people's political views are it shouldn't keep us from being friends. God bless you sweetheart. I like that you let us see life's ups and downs. It lets us see that even with what all life throws at us, we can still have beautiful orchids. Hugs, Sherrii💜

[@hillbillyorchids]

@sheiselwilliams1 Hey hon, that's a shame! Me and Michael don't see eye to eye but we are great friends who have a common ground in orchids! You shouldn't try to push someone to believe what you do! In any aspect! Church or political or whatever! I am sad you lost people in your life, but honestly they were not true friends. Hopefully I can replace one you lost! 😁 I enjoy great people like you! Hugs 🫂 🤗 🌹🩷🩷🩷🩷

Hi, Paula! That was me with the non blooming bellinas! Thank you for remembering me! I would love to hear your other thoughts on why my bellinas don’t bloom. Thank you!! I watch every new video you make 😊, so what a nice surprise to hear your comment about messaging you again on this subject 🙏💕

[@hillbillyorchids]

@Nekko70 Hey sweetie oh gosh that was you? Too cool! 😂 me and my brain! OK did I ask you if you used seakelp?

[@Nekko70]

Hi Paula, I found which video that we first discussed this. It was your weekend walk around on 9-28-24. Yes, I did mention that I do use the sea kelp once a month. Thanks for your thoughts ❤.

[@hillbillyorchids]

@Nekko70 OK I couldn't remember for sure if we talked about that. Try upping the sea kelp. They need hormones to tell them to bloom. Put small amounts in every feed. Not just once a month. Hope that helps.

[@Nekko70]

Ok thank you , I will try that. Right now, I use one tablespoon per gallon, once a month. How much with each feed would you suggest? Thanks for your advice!🙏🥰

[@hillbillyorchids]

@Nekko70 Hey hon my bottle says 1 tablespoon per gallon so I'd use that each time. See what that does. Maybe it will perk up its bloom hormones. Keep me posted! ☺️

[@michaelmccarthy4077]

you need to synchronize your lights better😜

[@hillbillyorchids]

@michaelmccarthy4077 Hey Michael 👋 yea i sure do! I need them all on digital so I can time them better! That will be easier to synchronize. 😂 Have a wonderful weekend dear friend 🤗 🌹 🩷 💚
