That was an awesome video. You had great self control in the middle of so many amazing orchids. I think I would have purchased one orchid from each vendor. I love to see you, Blanca and Laz together. You guys have a great happy spirit. You have a good sense of humor and always so happy. Thank you for another great video. Love the orange but thanks for keeping it green.

[@naturenel]

Im so happy you enjoyed this episode. It took allot of self control. That is very correct. lol! I stayed within budget. We all had a wonderful time. We are planning on doing this more often. It’s too much fun not to. And yes, always keep it green 💚

[@shirleyholt898]

That looked like so much fun. Sure wish I could have been there. Thanks for sharing.🤗🌴👏

There is always next year! It’s so worth it. It’s a blast. So much to look at. 💚

You are very welcome! Love your state so much!💚💚💚

[@shaunburns543]

Wow, how fortunate you are to have such a climate and all of those orchid traders to choose from! I’m sat here on the Jurassic coast in southern England seriously considering a new life in Florida 😂 We’re just going into the colder, darker months of winter here so my greenhouse is now being heated for the foreseeable - must be wonderful to be able to grow all year round where you are. Keep up the great work. I’m sure this channel is going to grow and grow! 🙏

[@naturenel]

Hi Shaun. Come on over to the Sunshine State. You will never leave. Lol! This is a paradise here. I have to admit. Caring for my orchids is much easier. I loved in Chicago and it’s gloomy most of the fall and winter. Extremely hard to keep orchids. Beautiful city, but terrible conditions for orchids. Thanks for watching and commenting on my channel🍃💚🪴

[@bertdarceuil539]

Love it love il thanks for being the eyes to us who can’t be there all the way in Trinidad West Indian there ‘s so much to seeee all beautiful yes yes omg

[@naturenel]

Yay!!!! So happy you enjoyed it. Mission accomplished. I wanted to make sure the filming would translate the show in an exciting way. Thanks for coming along our fun filled day. We had lots of fun!🥳

[@Elpasogirl8]

So much fun!! An orchid paradise!! Looks like you all had a wonderful day! Good friends, and pretty plants, who could ask for more! Thanks for sharing. Keep it 💚💯

Absolutely Sammi. This was a real special event for us. It was perfect 👌🏼

[@robertforrest7956]

You look very RED... 🤔 What Fun Nelson. I remember my ole days at the San Francisco Exposition.. Orchids in the Park... Enjoy while you can kiddo!! 🎃 Just Stay Safe!!! 👻. Also, fun mini is Motes Vanda "Pixie Dust" mine are indoor under lights.. loves to flower!! 👍

[@naturenel]

I look red? Lol! I don’t even know what that means. 😂. I had a couple of Pixie Dust but they died in me. 😞

[@lindagrabner4186]

So much beauty, very overwhelming, love it. Can’t wait to see your haul. Saw you on Friday but you were with a group of people, so didn’t want to bother you. Interesting fact about the age of the vandas, didn’t know that. Thank you for all of this wonderful video.

[@naturenel]

Hi Linda! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I like to interview the vendors because I get amazing information from them. The key is to ask the questions that most people don’t know. This way you have an aha! moments. ☺️

[@growingorchidsinjamaica]

OMG!! What a beautiful show. I long for us to have orchid shows here in Jamaica. Love it. Thanks for taking us along. I really enjoyed.

[@naturenel]

Hello Orchid Doc! Maybe you should spearhead the idea of holding an orchid show in Jamaica. Start with a couple of nurseries. You are very knowledgeable in the field and your orchids are beautiful. It’s time for Jamaica to have orchid shows!🥳Thanks for watching. 💚

[@growingorchidsinjamaica]

@@naturenel that sounds like a great idea. The only problem is we don't have a lot of nurseries that specializes in orchids. We rely so much on importation and that has become so expensive since the pandemic. We'll definitely have to try and have a plant show as persons are suffocating.

[@sheilabroad8192]

😳🤯😱. Focus. 😂. I can’t imagine. 💜💜. I get overwhelmed when I go into Walmart. 🥴

[@naturenel]

Ha! Ha! Ha! That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard in a while. But so true. I too can get overwhelmed even at Walmart’s nursery. Lol!!!!

[@frankvitier6086]

There are rumors of a show in Nov? Can you confirm?

[@naturenel]

@@frankvitier6086 there will be 2 shows in November at OFE. And I believe there will be another major show in January.

[@Garnetspagrud]

Next year I need to get the VIP ticket! That looked like so much fun! Saturday was really crowded but still a thrill to see all those incredible plants. I spent too much:-))

[@naturenel]

Absolutely get the VIP. It’s a while other experience. I was there on Friday when you saw me and it was a different vibe. But still a good one. I enjoyed talking to all my subscribers. I can’t wait for tomorrow. Last day at the show.

[@erintrent1523]

Can you have too many bulbophyllums though?😉 Looked like lots of fun, I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. Blanca did get quite the showpiece.

[@naturenel]

Ha! Ha! Ha! I agree. The bulbophyllum are just so awesome. We had a blast. And Blanca’s piece is gorgeous.

[@allyk7476]

Hi Nelson, I was eagerly awaiting your video of the show. I am only 15 minutes away but decided to stay away from temptation. I got so excited seeing all those beautiful orchids and plants. I can't wait to see todays video and your haul. The steel band also reminded me of St.Croix, my place of birth.

[@naturenel]

Hi Ally! You are strong willed cause I can not stay away from the biggest orchid show in Miami. No way! Lol! I haven’t had a moment to even start editing yesterday’s video. I’ll try to post bu Monday. I also have people staying over. So I’m hosting. I loved the steel band. We lived in a condominium called St Croix by the Sea. It had the best saltwater pool and tiki bar. They made amazing burgers at that bar. My dad and his wife lived there for several years. He had a car dealer there.

[@stevenali3829]

Nice

[@naturenel]

Thank you!💚

[@prestonnorris9822]

My local Lowes had baggie baby's the other day, they haven't had any for like 2 years! I got 6 in 4 inch pots...I was so happy 🤓

[@naturenel]

Yay!!!!!!!! Those are the best. If I see any I will get them for my trees. I didn’t see bag babies at this fair. I just realized that as I write this. Lol! Shows I was overwhelmed with the visuals. 😎

[@alexandragc6817]

What a pleasure to watch ! Thank you for taking the time to do the video ! You are simply the best ! Love how you feature individual orchids, close up , go around booths slowly so we can take in all of it ! Looking forward with anticipation to day 2 !

[@naturenel]

You are very welcome! I’m glad it’s translating well through my channel. I want to give you guys as much if a real experience as possible. I’ll be posting my Friday visit possibly Monday. I’ll be there tomorrow so I may just record a little more. Thanks for your comments. I really appreciate you🙏🏼

[@jodeming5088]

So excited to watch your video. My anxiety got high seeing the cataleya at kill smith & the bolinas. Why is the bellina so expensive? I had no clue. I am disappointed I could not get there. Mom has alzheimers & the rest of my family is in Tampa for a softball tournament. Thanks for Sharing. Saw atleast a dozen that caught my eye. Can hardly wait to see the damage that you & our Blanca did. Enjoy yourselves. The music was perfect

[@naturenel]

Im so happy to hear you enjoyed the show. It was so difficult to focus. I was like a child in a toy store. Bellinas are pricey. It’s a species and it has amazing fragrance. It’s also popularity flower. It’s my favorite of the phals. But there are so many beautiful ones out there. It’s not really fair to pick a favorite. So sorry you were not able to go. There will be a huge show on November 5-7 at Highland Manor in Apopka. They will also have Krull-Smith open house. It’s the International Vanda and Slipper Orchid Symposium. That may be your second chance at a big show🤩

[@jodeming5088]

@@naturenel thank you for the next show info. I will get a bellina, totally shocked at the price. I had no clue. I would not have been able to stay focused either. I really got excited watching your video.

So awesome spending the day and festival with you guys!!! Can't wait to get together at the next show!!

Dido! We must repeat. 🥳

[@lazaropaez2636]

I agree! let’s make it a tradition, and all get together, for the big shows ❤️

I agree💯. This has to be repeated for every Tamiami VIP. You will be pretty surprised at what I got. I heard about this road trip. I’m excited. Already ran it through Luíz. We’re ready to go! Lol! Must plan very soon. Only a month away. 🤩

Let’s go!🥳

[@soniajohnson543]

You’ve lifted my spirit by watching how happy you guys were shopping around. Oh the vandas are so beautiful. Wish I was there. Quite a wide variety of orchids and other plants. Yes Nelson you guys were like kids in a candy store. Have fun.

[@naturenel]

Hi Sonia! It was a blast. I did not imagine how much fun it would be. And shopping together with other KZbinrs made it really exciting and fun. Blanca was hilarious. Hanging out with her, Laz and Joshua was a true adventure.

[@nickgemerek6820]

Waldor orchids is my fav!! I live like 45 minutes from them. Luckily it’s just far enough that I can’t go every week haha

How lucky you are! They have amazing selections of mounted pieces. If I lived near them I would do damage. Lol!

It was so great to meet you yesterday Nelson. We went to the Gardino booth and talked about hoyas and other plants. I had a great day. I can't wait to see what you got. I managed to just buy hoyas and supplies. I might go on Sunday and do more damage though. Hope you have fun on Sunday!

Hi there. Actually there is one being held at OFE Orchids Supplies where I usually record some of my videos. They are located at 17899 SW 280 street Homestead, Florida 33031. I suggest getting there early. They open Saturday 9:00 - 5:00 and Sunday 10:00 -3:00.
