Ha ha ha!!! Thanks so much dear friend! I do appreciate it! I need all the luck I can get! HAPPY GROWING! :)

[@denisesorchidparadise1411]

great crosses, I will be very interested in purchasing some of these 10 years from now!

[@PictureMaria1]

THANK YOU! I do believe we are going to get some amazing crosses and of course I'd be willing to sell some...in about 5-10 years! LOL! ...but perhaps even sooner...keeping in mind that they are like a box of chocolate...you never do know what you're going to get!!! :)

[@denisesorchidparadise1411]

your right but with those parents how can you go wrong, they can only be gorgeous!

[@mechanicalbees7698]

Also cross pollinating and creating your own you really upped your game and I'm LOVEN IT! PS positive vibes fingers crossed.

[@PictureMaria1]

LOL!!!! I must admit I've pushed myself out on a limb...but sometimes that's the only way we will ever spread our wings and fly. I am so hoping that I can expand my knowledge and experience in this area of propagation...after all the more that we know the more that we can grow. Keep your fingers crossed! I am going to need all the help that I can get! LOL!!! HAPPY GROWING AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

[@mechanicalbees7698]

@@PictureMaria1 btw fingers crossed and positive vibes. I have been a long time viewer by the name Gina Goth. I really think you are the future of the vandas. Pls keep it up and blessings for you and your holidays as well.

Hey PhalPal Maria, I don’t know anything about this subject and no where ready but I watched and enjoyed. Happy growing from your PhalPal Durrell

[@PictureMaria1]

Hey there Phal Pal!!! ...and I'm not quite ready either...but ready or not...here I come! LOL! This will definitely be a learning lesson for me that's for sure! Thanks for watching and hoping all is well. :)

[@OrchidsforDummies]

MY Orchid Adventures But you looked and sounded like you were a pro. All is well here. Happy Thanksgiving if we don’t speak again before.

[@PictureMaria1]

HA HA HA!!! I guess looks can be deceiving! I have done my research and have spoken to many about this subject...but as far as actually germinating and flasking...it is going to be my first time for that. I do have a year to prepare so we will see when we get to that point. Wish me luck! Wishing you an awesome Holiday Season as well! Enjoy it to the fullest! You deserve it! :)

[@OrchidsforDummies]

[@danieljheelan5256]

Hi, Thanks for sharing. Start loving orchids and don't have any Vanda. They seems to be easier to take care. Great video and will buy one or two. From the seeds, how you proceed with the vanda orchids cultivation? Hope to hear from you. Daniel from France.

[@PictureMaria1]

Thanks so much for joining me on my orchid adventures! ...and yes vandas are such beautiful and wonderful orchids. Now because they can have quite a mass of roots many do complain about how tedious the daily waterings can be. But if you can keep it outdoors it is so much easier to care for. As far as propagation through seed...now that is pretty difficult and that applies for majority orchids. The seeds are usually propagated within a lab type setting with a strenuous sterilization process and different chemicals involved. Your average grower usually does not have the capabilities and is usually left to those that specialize orchid sewing and flasking. I myself have not attempted the process but there are videos on youtube that can further explain and help you determine if it is a challenge you want to try.

[@danieljheelan5256]

@@PictureMaria1 Thanks / Merci for your reply. I am in France: do you know from where I can buy some in flask or from young plant. Bought seeds in the past but they were not orchid seeds. If you have some shops or reliable links from where it will be possible de buy: it will be great. Daniel

[@Molhedim]

It's incredible how you keep orchids outside for so long. In what climate do you live in?

[@PictureMaria1]

I do love being able to grow my orchids outdoors. I do live in Central Florida where temperatures are very hot and humid most of the time...although we do have experience some frosty conditions during the winter time.

[@LinardBraslin]

Oh this was very exciting! I'm most excited to see what kind of variations will the Mimi Palmer give you!

[@PictureMaria1]

Tell me about it...I am so excited as well...but not excited about the wait time...but what can you say...a grand creations don't just happen overnight right. I am expecting great things from the Mimi Palmer crosses too! Thanks for watching! :)

[@rogerisaza8920]

Hello Maria!!! Thankyou for the entertaining yet useful video ( I'm even going to saber ir with my students )... I would like to ask if I could cross pollinate my Vanda with my Dendrobium? Thankyou

[@oishd6077]

The MV kirk crossed with mimi palmer (Big one ) is what i vote for.

[@PictureMaria1]

YES!!!! THAT SHOULD BE AN AWESOME ONE! I am so excited to see that one! Thanks for watching and for joining me on this propagation, pollination adventure! HAPPY GROWING!

[@jonnamaepintoy7216]

Is the tissue wet putting the pollinated? & It is 3 mos to wet if it is grow? Thank u..

[@annabellefernando3960]

Thank you so much for your concern to answer my questions regarding my orchid plants☺. 1.I have a few DENDROBIUM orchids and after blooming and only its stems are left now and no more new plants are coming up(shoots) what can I do? 2. Also all leaves From it's stems (Bulbs)have fallen and now left with stems only ..So how can I re grow these stems ? What are the steps should i follow to have new plants?

[@PictureMaria1]

I remember I had some dendrobiums that were nothing but canes and did not do anything for over a year...and just as I was going to give up on them, I decided to take them out of their pots and low and behold underneath the media they had started to grow new growths. I was shocked. I would suggest perhaps taking them out of the media and making sure that that they are not rotting. If they appear to be okay then simply keep taking care of them as normal...they should eventually start growing new growths. ..oh and of course keep your fingers crossed. I will keep my fingers crossed for you as well. Good luck!

[@yvesc.3181]

14:10 I'm so excited I just can't hide it I'm about to lose control And I think I like it 😂😂😂

[@KAMJKJ]

I have one accidental single pseudobulb of brassavola nadosa with a single eye is it will survive? Like yours or I may throw it (secretly I don't like to throw that pseudobulb) so guide me in potted in sphagnum moss with rooting hormone am I going right?

[@PictureMaria1]

Since you live in a very dry climate...I would suggest growing it in a terrarium with moistened moss...in that way you won't have to spritz it with water as much and it will get the moisture and humidity it needs to encourage growth of roots and new growth. I will be doing a video soon showing how I am rescuing and growing some orchids that have needed extra help...so stay tuned for more.

[@jonnamaepintoy7216]

Hi..this is my first time to watch the video. I want to ask something if what happen to the pollinated vanda? How to collect it those put in the hole..is that stay thier? For how long?

[@erikbruns3869]

Any updates on the crosses?

[@benwinkel]

Are you contemplating name's for passable possibilities yet?

[@PictureMaria1]

Of course!!! But there is a process to naming orchids and it isn't just that simple. I am going to have to register them when they bloom and that of course can take about 5 - 7 years...so I still have time.

[@benwinkel]

@@PictureMaria1 :) No need to hurry then 😆

[@mechanicalbees7698]

Mimi Palmer seed parent x Cindy Banks Bills Choice is my choice.

[@PictureMaria1]

Awesome and very exciting choice!!! I can't wait to see the outcome...should be nothing short of amazing...at least I am hoping!

[@farhananyc1963]

Why do you save the pollen?

[@benwinkel]

To use later on flower's that have yet to open. She explains it in the video 3:03

[@PictureMaria1]

Yes...many of the flowers were aging and on the verge of becoming spent...so in order to pollinate the tatzerii I would have to save the pollen.

[@j.d.8075]

To be honest, until you flower them - in 5-7 years, it shall really be hard knowing which cross shall give you the best results. We are basing the crosses on the observed characteristics of the current flowers but there isn't any real way of knowing what recessive genes are in them and which of those recessive characteristics could come out.

[@j.d.8075]

@@PictureMaria1 I have Asperger's [a form of Autism] - so this is just how my brain actually works... this is my curiosity of wanting to see ALL the seedlings flowered - sometimes over 100 per flask - so I can see all the variation in the flowers and even the plants, as well as those sneaky recessive characteristics...

[@PictureMaria1]

Of course there is no actual way of telling. I was just asking for opinions and thoughts that's all.

[@PictureMaria1]

@@j.d.8075 I already know that this will be my most challenging orchid experience yet. I hate the crazy wait time and I know it is going to be absolutely grueling for me! Visions of hundred varieties will be dancing in my head while I sleep! HA HA HA!!! I am very happy and excited to do this project and I do hope it goes as well as it can. Thanks for watching and HAPPY GROWING!

[@j.d.8075]

@@PictureMaria1 I can tell you one thing though... the vanda with the tesselated petal pattern... that tessellation shall be carried through... to varying degrees... tesselation tends to be a dominant rather than recessive factor.

[@denisesorchidparadise1411]

exactly! like the box of chocolates! surprise you get what you get! thats the exciting part!

What is the next video of this pollination

[@marissapena310]

Lord help the orchid world.

[@KAMJKJ]

Add your name with the hybrids you create like motes do. And you stole my handwriting lol😆

[@PictureMaria1]

I do plan on naming them...but there is a process to naming and getting them registered...so I still have time to do it....and do we have the same handwriting? AMAZING! LOL!

[@KAMJKJ]

I do no why I fell love with mimi Palmer which I can't buy in India any Indian viewers and sellers who has mimi Palmer help me to collect it. I will buy. The name mini Palmer is cute and the orchid is very cute

[@PictureMaria1]

I have fallen in love with them too...and you are right it is a cute name and a cute orchid! I do hope that you are able to find one. After all you deserve one!

[@davidmalachi7482]

If ye love me, keep my commandments. John 14:15 KJV Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: Exodus 20:8‭-‬9 KJV Saturday is the day of the Lord The claim that Christ by his death abolished his Father’s law, is without foundation. Had it been possible for the law to be changed or set aside, then Christ need not have died to save man from the penalty of sin. The death of Christ, so far from abolishing the law, proves that it is immutable. The Son of God came to “magnify the law, and make it honorable.” [Isaiah 42:21.] He said, “Think not that I am come to destroy the law;” “till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in nowise pass from the law.” [Matthew 5:17, 18.] And concerning himself he declares, “I delight to do thy will, O my God; yea, thy law is within my heart.” [Psalm 40:8.] GC88 466.3 Ecclesiastes 12:13 KJV Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
