Wonderful haul.The orchid from Wendy is gorgeous and will be stunning when all those buds open.Thanks for sharing those beauties.

[@naturenel]

It looks amazing now all in bloom.

[@IHeartMyShabbyDecor143]

Very very beautiful orchids! All are so gorgeous but Dendrobium Jairak Bushy is my favorite! Looking forward for the part 2! Oh my, I just learned that Phal do not like direct sunlight. I should keep my orchid plant out from direct sunlight. Thank you so much for sharing

[@naturenel]

Phals and direct sun equals death. They blister very easy. The Schilleriana are even more sensitive to heat and sun. ☀️

[@j2o829]

Krull Smith nursery 2:34 has a beautiful property and amazing orchids!

[@naturenel]

I agree. It’s my favorite place to visit. I call it the Disney of Orchids. 💚💚💚

[@Melissa-loves-orchids]

Hey Nel The Phal Luddemaniana Red!!! Woah! Beautiful!! I love everything that you got in this video! Wow!! I have no words.

[@naturenel]

I’m in love with that gift. Jeremy picked out a beautiful one. His orchids are so amaszing. I agree on his packaging. That key proper packing in order to assure excellent delivery.

[@emmanuelV37]

What a great haul!! Krull Smith had so many beautiful orchids it was difficult to choose! Also that Dendrochilum lindeny is so huge and amazing! You can tell it came from Franks collection! So sorry to hear about the schillerianas! Hopefully they will bounce back soon!

[@naturenel]

The schillerianas are looking safe. They did drop the blistered leaves, but they look stable.

[@wendygonzalez178]

What a great birthday haul! That was truly a fun weekend well spent with great friends. I was so sad to see that your 3 phals got sun burned. Especially the one you wanted to give Terry. 😢 But I’m sure they will all bounce back in no time. I’m glad you loved your birthday gift. I couldn’t believe how many more buds you got since I gave it to you. 😊

[@naturenel]

Thanks so much! That gift keeps on giving. There are so many flowers now. Even Jeremy called me and said “I didnt realize how many buds that one plant produced”. He said that one a truly a special one. I’m obsessed!💚💚💚

[@annettamackey1538]

Beautiful orchids❤

[@naturenel]

Thanks for visiting💚

[@griselnunez4274]

Awesome haul loved the shot of the trunk of your car with all the orchids so pretty.💚

[@naturenel]

That shot was actually the idea of one of the boys at Krull Smith. I thought it was a genius idea. Glad you enjoyed it. 🤗

[@blancasorchidgarden]

Loved the haul 🤗🤗 can’t believe Terry’s gift got burned, that broke my heart a little ( I know she will bounce back) but I know how much you wanted that for her and how happy you were when you found her💖 anyways enjoy your orchids. I can’t wait to see the Dendrobium bloom. We have twins so when mine bloom yours will too. See you soon XOXO!

[@naturenel]

Thank you my friend. I did suffer a little anxiety when I saw the blisters. So far they are stable. They will bounce back. I’m missing our outings. Time for regrouping. I love that we share same orchids. I discovered so many spikes on my orchids watching your episodes when you show yours in spike. See you pronto!🫶🏼😘

Thanks Nelson for sharing all your lovely orchids. Vegas is a bit hard to keep most, so I live thru you 💚😎💚

[@naturenel]

Oh wow! I do know Vegas weather very well. You pour a glass of water on the sidewalk in summer and you can literally see it evaporate.

[@Miles_Hoffman]

@@naturenel eggs will also fry- not a joke

[@tinasachs8688]

Very pretty orchids! I always love seeing these giant antler type dendrobiums that they have. The ansellia africana is so beautifu in bloom!. I'm very happy to say that the one I got last year in July is, through some kind of miracle, still with me. Not quite blooming size yet though but she just started a new growth, so that's exciting. Anyhow, looking forward to part 2 ;)

[@naturenel]

Sounds like you are a good Anselia mom. Good job growing it. Im just learning this one. It is a beauty.

[@rosemarymaraj1903]

Love it . and take your time

[@rogamildien-fn3tf]

Awesome haul❤ Don't be afraid to water the anselia africana as long as it has good drainage( I don't fuss too much with mine and grow it in bark only) NE South Africa Africa has an equatorial region with high humidity that's always damp...ish You'll find this plant at the top of the tree canopy following the light We fondly call it the " leopard orchid)

[@naturenel]

That is so awesome to know. Thanks you! I have not done my research on that one being that I’ve become so tied up in projects. Thanks for the information. I’ll share it on my channel soon. 🙏🏼

[@mildredkrisik8888]

My favorite in this haul is the Dakao 'Flamea Enami'. So beautiful! Interesting that you can differentiate several different scents from the flower. Can you also taste the different flavors in a fine brandy, e.g. blueberry, oak, cherry, all in the same sip? Very sensuous man!

[@naturenel]

Unfortunately I’ve tried to learn the flavors in wine, but I don’t have that skill. But I have been smelling orchids for years. I’ve learned separate the tones in the fragrance. 🌸

[@nadeneoconnor8455]

Wow 🎉🎉🎉beautiful Nelson, thank you for sharing your beautiful plants 🎉🎉.

[@naturenel]

👍🏼You’re so welcome.

[@BloomingGoodOrchids]

Omw, 🎉🎉we have the same orchids taste ! I got one of those mini phals ,dendrobium Lindley, Ancilea ( now I have 3 different colors) , you have stunning orchids there 🎉🎉 you can never have enough 😂😂😂I'm running out of space but I already have a plan as to how I can make a little more space for orchids 😂😂😂😂we have 4 shows coming up ,every month there will be a show so I'll be working oblvertime to support my orchid addiction 😂😂 thank you fir taking us along, I don't mind if your videos are over an hr. Love your videos. I watch them over and over and have a fantastic week ahead. I am looking forward to the next video.

[@naturenel]

I love that you find my episodes entertaining enough to repeat watching the episodes. I totally get what you mean about getting a bigger space. We are now in the midst of extending the greenhouse. So many orchids, so little space.

[@naturenel]

Im loving African orchids more and more each day. 💚

[@florize-lendomingo1828]

I'm a new subscriber from Philippines, I'm gonna watch all the videos, brought so much joy to me as I'm a newbie in orchid...i'm just so happy i found your channel you're such an inspiration. ❤❤❤❤

[@naturenel]

So nice of you. Thank you for joining the channel. Hope it helps you with your orchid care needs. I appreciate your excitement to my channel. 🙏🏼💚🫶🏼

[@sergiopascale3487]

When I saw your Ansella africana, I feel sad, mine died of over watering, those years when I just let my handyman do his thing of watering etc...Great monotypic orchid!!

[@naturenel]

Oh no! You see, I saw it and instantly I felt like its not one to water heavy. Even tho I was told by a viewer that they do grow in very humid areas up high under tree canopies in Africa. It gave me a beautiful visual of how they must look growing in the wild.

[@OkikaHawaii]

Thanks for the content.

[@naturenel]

👍🏼💚

[@wandashaw3551]

Hi Nicole, I'm just so heavy handed with my watering and don't trust myself to use just moss. 😊. I live in Maryland so i think our weather is similar, that said ive lost quite a few orchids because i ended up rotting them in the moss. Totally my fault. Anyway I hope you have a safe trip 💗.

[@naturenel]

Repot your orchids in lava rock mixed with charcoal. You need allot of drainage if you are a heavy 💦.

[@Joe-nj3bb]

38:25 I guess she's not getting that schilleriana. 😅 All jokes aside, this is a good example of what leaf burn looks like. Norman's Orchids has a mature one for $150 right now. I was just wondering which orchids are native to Cuba and I found the Fire Star Orchid (Epidendrum radicans). There's also the Ghost Orchid, Pleurothallis, Encyclia, Clamshell, and Nun's Hood orchids.

[@naturenel]

Lol! Those poor Schillerianas. But they are stable and coming back. Cuba has so many encyclias. I own about 8 of them from Hamlyn Orchids- Jamaica. If you really want to get into Cuban orchids, that’s the place to start. 🤩

[@naturenel]

Thank you! 🤗

[@Joe-nj3bb]

Ordered these from Krull Smith today (first time order): - Bc. Morning Glory - Cattleya Small World x Bc. Richard Mueller - Cattleya Lacey Michelle Matherne (1765) I also got some cattleyas from Akatsuka, Hausermann, and Waldor's. Trying to increase my collection, but it's also my Mom's birthday next week. 😅

[@naturenel]

Yay!! You are picking the right ones for your collection. Happy birthday to mom!🎂

[@Joe-nj3bb]

​@@naturenel All orchids from Krull Smith arrived today. Pretty young plants, but the Small World came with two buds. They're purple but it's supposed to be a yellow flower. The tag has 4N (Tetraploid) which I wasn't expecting. It's getting harder to make space. 😅 I'm going to have two plant stands on the western facing windowsill and one in my western facing bedroom that has built in LED lighting.

[@naturenel]

@@Joe-nj3bb congratulations! Krull Smith orchids have never disappointed me. Happy growing. 🤗

[@JeanyVasquez-k5t]

Hi Nelson, Will you be potting the two dendrobiums together?

[@naturenel]

No. I’m actually potting them separately because the flowers are different in tone.

Same thing happened to my phalaenopsis schilleriana it beautiful and healthy I move it in a new space and went to work when I come home they got burn 😢 the two of them only one leaf Left... The spike stop develop Im so afraid... And now I don't know they will survive im so depressed 😢

[@naturenel]

Chances are they will come back. They are super sensitive above all the rest of the Phalaeonopsis. Keep it in an area that doesn’t receive any direct sunlight. They do not like heavy heat either.
