Unboxing my new orchids from Giulio Celandroni orchids!

[@wandashaw3551]

Hello EJ, such a great haul. They all look nice and healthy, and I hope you keep us posted on their progress.

[@TheOrchidSaGa]

Thank you, and I will! :D

[@rickl.orchids]

.......very nice additions to your collection....Im sure in a few days.... after a good drink and some feed they will look better....The Schomburgkia I had were vigorous growers and threw roots out quickly.....look forward to an update in a few months to see thier progress under your care......

[@TheOrchidSaGa]

Thank you so much Rick, I will do updates! I hope they will make it. I am not sure with all of them to be honest. We will see…

[@tess.campbell]

Why Nots are on my wishlist. Enjoy the new plants.

[@TheOrchidSaGa]

I like them too! I hope they will ik me as well LOL.. Thanks!

[@robirobinson3602]

Nice haul Eelke! Oh, that schomburgkia, I love these! I sure hope it and the others pull on just fine for you. From what I just read, the Schomburgkia crispa has been changed to Laelia marginata. I just had to go look at photos and drool. 🤤🫠 In Kamloops, Canada we are heading into a heat wave with temps up around 40C. Quite thankful for my basement grow space where the temps holding nicely from 23C - 27C higher up where the Vandas and other warm growers are. Enjoy your new orchids! 🤗❤️

[@TheOrchidSaGa]

O I had no idea of the new name! I will look it up soon. And o boy, that’s HOT! We have cool and wet weather. I hate it LOL.. I like it warm and sunny but not as hot as you will get soon… And I am sure your plants are happy in your basement! Sounds like the place to be with those temps! :D Good luck with the heat….

[@hillbillyorchids]

Great haul! Some really nice new orchids! It's always ashame that there are some orchids you all can't get and same here! Seems like they should be able to get around! 😂

[@TheOrchidSaGa]

Did you see it? My first black hair type Den! That’s because of you LOL… So it is your fault :P

[@littleorchids5674]

Really nice healthy looking plants. ❤

[@TheOrchidSaGa]

Thank you! :D

[@roslynbarclay1000]

Great haul! The Den. nestor ‘red dragon’ googled as bright lolly pink. Beautiful! They all have a wonderful sweet fragrance.

[@TheOrchidSaGa]

It looks like an amazing color indeed! I can’t wait to see it bloom :D And a good fragrance is a huge bonus… Thank you for watching!

[@LizE2654]

Great haul. Looking forward to updates on them as I am unfamiliar with most of them.

[@TheOrchidSaGa]

Thank you! And I will do updates. :D

[@PC-zg3eo]

Nice haul! I have never grown a schomburgkia that small but the mature ones do grow roots fast.

[@TheOrchidSaGa]

It is very small. Sadly. I will try my best! …

[@andrearighetti4406]

Nice purchase ... Try also "Nardotto e Capello", it's the best italian orchid nursery in my opinion 😉

[@TheOrchidSaGa]

OK, so you are trying to get me broke! LOL.. OMG that’s an amazing nursery. I had no idea! … What a great selection they offer. I did find a wish list orchid, it’s the Miltonia Regnellii Alba. I did email them to see if it is still available…. So BIG thanks! :D And thank you for watching

[@andrearighetti4406]

@@TheOrchidSaGa you're welcome! 😁😁😁

[@lequach75]

Nice! I think I ordered twice from them and was quite happy with my purchase, the drawback is indeed the postage that is a bit higher than when I order from German orchid nursery.

[@TheOrchidSaGa]

Most plants are looking good but two I am not that happy with… Sadly. Anyhow I will try my best and hope they will like it here… How are your Miltoniopsisses doing? I just sprayed all of mine again. You know what that means!.. grrr. They spraying works but I never can get rid of the mites completely.

[@lequach75]

@@TheOrchidSaGa oh sorry to hear about that. Well I only ordered few plants . Not as many as you. My milts are slowly flowering again, bei not too convincing. I sprayed them down with ardap, that did seem to work quite well .

[@orchidquest]

EJ, Could you run a series of videos on Miltonia care? You have the most beautiful Miltonia/Miltoniopsis in your collection!

[@TheOrchidSaGa]

Thank you so much! And yes, I will, I did get this request a few times now, so yes I will do make a video about both off them soon! Thank you so much for the request. :D

[@annareiter952]

No way! I also did an unboxing from this vendor on Wednesday. I bought a Dinard Blue Heaven (beside some other plants). Actually I expected a bit bigger one... and the prices in the webshop are without tax... but what the hell. Many regards and happy growing!

[@TheOrchidSaGa]

How funny! :D .. The plants are ok, but not the best to be honest, so not sure if I will try them again. But at least I found a few that were on my wish list. :D Did you get good plants? Perhaps you did a unboxing, I will check asap! :D

[@annareiter952]

@@TheOrchidSaGa I 'just watch' YT but don't 'do' YT and I'm as lazy as orchids 😂Lets put it that way: I'm not over the moon. Its just another nursery. I also don't think that Großräschner is the best in Europe. My best unboxings were from Kopf Orchideen, Germany, and Akerne. Unfortunately both have quite limited selections but I'm sure that's due to the quality. Buying orchids is like a box of chocolat... I envy you for Lansbergen where you can pick and choose. Our annual show here in Vienna is quite pricey. Luckily I'm completely out of space now. So no new plant till next years show she says.

[@elzooostland7459]

Nice Haul, Eelke. Also had my eye on that grower but the transport costs are too high for me. Perhaps if he has something really special. By the way the sound was a bit distracting. There was some kind of interference between your mic and the camera. Have a great day. 😊

[@TheOrchidSaGa]

Yes, it is pricy. And the plants are ok, some are good, but I did have better to be honest. Not my first choice this seller…. And yes, I know, the sound is bad. I need a new camera. Everything I try to fix it doesn’t work anymore. It is time I am afraid… :P Thanks for watching!

[@orchidquest]

EJ! I thought I recognized your accent! I have family friends in Ryswyk! What part of The Netherlands do you live in?

[@TheOrchidSaGa]

Me having an accent??? LOL.. Yes I do live in the Netherlands. I do live all the way up North. So not that close to Rijswijk. It is about a 2.5 hours’ drive for me. Where are you from?

[@YnseSchaap]

Wireless microphone Eelke ? 😎

[@TheOrchidSaGa]

I need a new camera. its horrible!

[@YnseSchaap]

Moaie blomkes hjer 😁

[@TheOrchidSaGa]

haha creas toch! :D

[@michaelmccarthy4077]

I don't understand Miltonia flavescens. I have never been able to get mine to grow roots. The plant is somehow still alive but there is literally not one root more than about 5 cm, most are shorter than that. I see people with these huge plants covered in flowers and I have this pathetic little thing.

[@TheOrchidSaGa]

I had my first one blooming, but then I suddenly started dying off. Check it and it had fusarium. I did get myself a new one, same story… And this one doesn’t look right too. It’s kinda big, has roots but it doesn’t hydrate properly. So maybe you want to check a back bulb? … If I have Fusarium, it’s almost always on a Miltonia.
