Thank you for posting this. So far the best walk around I’ve seen. Thank you for showing off all the vendors and their offerings for us that can’t make it to the shows. 🎉

Thank you for watching. Hope to bring more videos thru out the year. Difficult to zoom in on the labels as I am videotaping. I do try whenever posssible.

Thank you for this beautiful video!

[@johnacosta1699]

You are very welcome. Thanks for watching.

The best video so far. Complete tour of all the vendors with all their orchids. No pointless chatter. Very pleasant to watch from start to finish. Thank you for posting this for the rest of us.

[@johnacosta1699]

I watch a lot of these videos and I find that the video is more about themselves than the plants or orchids. I just want the user to see the plants and orchids. I also try to limit viewing other people. Orchids and plants is what I am trying to show. Thank you so much for your comment.

@@johnacosta1699 You are welcome! Your video deserves a comment of appreciation. And you are absolutely right. A lot of those KZbinrs instead of showing orchids, keep talking and talking endlessly about themselves or keep switching view from the flowers to their own friends or relatives (which nobody cares about), or try to sponsor orchid vendors to get freebies. If you'd like to see how a truly beautiful video of an orchid show should look like, "Japan BackpackersXpress 4k orchid show" is the place to go... So much more professional! Thank you for making better videos for us to enjoy!

Hi Blanca , this orchid on the top, Cattleya orchid yellow with a magenta lip is stunning at 44:24.Looks so beautiful there, the fragrance must have been great as well.

[@blancaacosta333]

Hi Cheryl. I hope you had a wonderful Holiday Season, and wishing you a Happy New Year! The cattleya you are referring to sure is stunning! Those on the top are sample or display of the nice size bag babies that the were selling. The bag babies were below the blooming cattleyas, and they were going for approximately $20.00 each. There were good bargains at the show, but also there some species at very steep prices. After watching this video I kept saying, "Oh no..........How did I miss that?" "I would have bought that one." Ofcourse, I would have needed a Uhaul truck.

It does not look like a lot of people there but lots of pretty Orchids, I hope you had a wonderful time there! excellent video

[@johnacosta1699]

Hi Denise, A lot of people started to show up later in the day on Friday. We didn't go Saturday, but we heard that it was crazy with the number of people that showed up. Most people started showing up around 11:00am all three days. We will probably show up for 2 days next year instead of one. Thank you for your comment as always.

Good job John!!

[@johnacosta1699]

Thank you so much for viewing it. I posted a new one at the Florida West Coast Orchid Society. Not as long. :-)

[@sandrasutherland.5070]

Thank you for your event walk through. You covered all of the vendors not just a chosen few. Great job 👍

[@johnacosta1699]

Thank you for your comment.

[@johnacosta1699]

I try to show as many orchid vendors as possible. It is very expensive to get a booth at these venues and limiting the video to just those vendors that may give me a freebie is not right in my mind. Have a great week.

[@arleneroserenders3310]

Hello John, thank you for sharing. Please tell Blanca we really miss her videos

[@johnacosta1699]

Thanks for watching. I will let her know.

KZbin Misses YOU Blanca

[@johnacosta1699]

Hi, I'm John B's better half. I keep pushing for her to post, but she is so busy these days it's hard for her to make time. She will soon, I hope.
