[@jerrymalisz2066]

We wish we were there. Hopefully one day... Food looks so yummy...

[@boblaurieg.8649]

Hi Carlos, So glad I found out you had a you tube channel! Really enjoy your videos. We live in PA, but my husband and I visited SVO in October, 2018. SO enjoyed meeting you, Fred, Rubin, and Peter. You all were so welcoming and helpful. After seeing this video, we want to plan our next trip for the Open House. Looks like a great time! Thanks for all you do to advance the orchid hobby! Blessings...

Our orchid nurseryman should watch this and learn from it. His sales would go through the roof!

[@TheOrchidGeek]

MY Orchid Adventures I wish you were there too! it was alot of fun :D glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the kind comment! :D Happy Growing!

[@denisesorchidparadise1411]

yeah! two green thumbs up!

[@kimberlyoboyle451]

I first saw you in Astrid's video where she interviewed you and Fred Clarke! I didn't you know you were the Orchid Nerd, this is a great video. Thanks for the tour!

[@TheOrchidGeek]

Kimberly O'Boyle I am glad you enjoyed my video! and yeah, she was one of the few people who inspired me to start my channel. she is so cool!

[@kimberlyoboyle451]

My daughter has a auntie who comes and helps take care of her because of her special needs, and she loves orchids, and one of her first big purchases was a FREDclarkeara "SVO Black Pearl". After 3 weeks she comes crying "I killed Fred i killed Fred"! I had to calm her and show her videos about how they lose leaves etc. "Fred" is now vigorously growing in a slotted pot in medium orchiata and she was amazed I was able to "Bring FredClarke back to life"! It's just funny how the orchid has a human name like this, my kids think the two of us are nuts!

[@TheOrchidGeek]

That is adorable! I'm sure you're both very happy now that "Fred" has come back to life! You know, in a way we orchid people can be really NUTS! LOL Happy Growing! :]

[@denisesorchidparadise1411]

[@mandyorchids4938]

[@OrchidudeBcn]

Hey Carlos, I'm soooo jelly!! I love SVO, and getting to see the greenhouses and all the amazing plants in person must be quite impressive. Thanks for sharing and happy growing 🤓🌱

Carousel E the pink one with Yellow lip? That one is the SVO hybrid of Lc. Tiny Treasure x C. Orchidglade (plant I.D 6572) and I will definitely provide names next time :D thanks for the feedback!

[@Catnip2011]

In a way, I am so glad not being there, the selections will drive me absolutely crazy. I want one in everything, so might as well nothing.

[@TheOrchidGeek]

Catnip2011 I know that feeling! Sometimes it can be overwhelming beautiful!

[@TheOrchidGeek]

We also visited the nursery Mother's Day weekend. Both visits were fantastic!!!! Will SVO do this open house again? Looking foward to saying hello this weekend at the Westminster show!
