Bumblebee, your voice is also very nice like your stunningly beautiful orchids

[lucythecat]

Ohhh, I am so sorry you lost your beloved plant. I am glad that you will be able to acquire another one. I hope it will bring you as much joy as your original one did. I find all your phals are amazing. Have a great day/night!

These are stunning, I have never seen any orchids like this, so jealous! :))

They are all so beautiful. 😍
I can't decide which one I love most.
Bought two 'Bronze Maiden' at Wichmann Orchids in March. as 'in 2 or three yesrs blooming size'.
The smaler one does not much, is only growing a root very slowly.
The other one had a growing leaf and pushed out a spike only one month after a purchased it.
What a surprise! 🤗😃
It's in bloom now.

Thank you for sharing your splendid orchids and your love for them. Unfortunately, my house is already crammed with 26 orchids, and I have no more space left, but I wish I had more, after admiring the Hybrids that you have! Thanks for letting us see them!

So sorry you lost you're big girl. I went true some lengths to get bronze maiden and I got it from Moldova. I am very excited that its also available in Schwerter I might get another one. 😍Happy growing to you to and have wonderful evening. Jelena

I would like to tell you - in the past I never was never that interested in Phalaernopsis. But thanks to your videos I am now totally crazy in them. Thank you very much.

Lovely video, thanks for making it. I'm sad that you lost your lovely maiden bronze, i thought the good news is that you got one from Schwerter, but I saw their ones are very tiny! Hope you'll find a mature one soon. I really like the storbtiana hybrid (the one with yellow and red blooms). Thanks again for sharing and have a wonderful weekend.

Definitly a sad thing followed by exciting news. Your favourite really deserves the honours. I learned to love Phal species and primary hybrids with you. We learn and acquire good tastes with good examples 😀. But also, before I became interested in orchids I made a surveil of the wild flowers in the area where I live which I published in my blog. I became fascinated by those humble little flowers, their colours and strategies. In some way Phals species and primary hybrids are connected to them in my mind. Still have very few but everytime I find them I get them. I sort of gave up ordering on line because mail expenses to my country come to about 30 euros and very often orchids are in bad conditions. But maybe I Will make and exception this time 😀
Happy weekend Bumblebee.

Hi Bumblebee! I guessed your Number 1 right! I even guessed the breaking news right! 😁 Actually I was introduced to this wonderful world of primary hybrids thanks to you, especially your earliest dozen of spotlight videos on them, which I have watched so many times over the years. I am sorry to hear the death of your original plant. But it’s great schwerter is reintroducing it. Actually I already bought three from them in August, since they are seedlings and I was not sure if I could grow them well till they mature and bloom. Incidentally, I found out yesterday that my local nursery Orchidarium has this hybrid as well and it is blooming. Oh my... Maybe I will go and get one tomorrow. It is hard to resist, really. Anyway, thank you for such a wonderful video full of orchid eye candies. Have a great weekend ahead!

Oh my. How can I possibly pick any one of these beauties over the other. I loved them all.
We had a show a couple of weeks ago and Tenshing Gardens came to Australia with heaps of flasks. I’d already bought one in Kuching, but I ended buying another 4. Previously I’ve had zero success raising flask babies, but this time I seem to be doing a better job, and hopefully I will be able to raise most of them on to maturity. I live in hope.

[sajeevimahanaga]

They are all beautiful 😊 I love p.schilleriana x mannii I think it’s so sweet 💜
No matter what I can’t order anything from out side of New Zealand because my Country rules I’m in new Zealand 🥴
I’m happy looking at your flowers thank you

Hi Bumblebee! I'm sorry for my absence. I will write to you soon. I'm so sorry to hear your Phalaenopsis Bronze Maiden died. But it's nice that this hybrid is available once again. The blooms are so beautiful and elegant. I hope some day my Phal. Princess Kaiulani will bloom as beautifully as yours. It has never bloomed yet. My favorite is my pha. Corning's Violet. The fragrance is amazing. I love it. Next week it will be the Helsinki Orchid Show. This time I'll be buying a psychopsis papilio alba, like the one you have. Mine died. :( I pre-ordered an alba. Possibily I will buy some blooming plant at the show, we will see. I haven't increased my collection. Taking care of the ones I have is a lot of work already. I hope all is well with you and you had a great summer. Have a great week!

Phals are my favourite orchid and I think I have a few which you have mentioned. Unfortunately they are not flowering size yet but I keep looking for the little nubbings which are slowly appearing. I did have a Schilleriana but that died from stem rot. The person who sold it to me has promised a replacement which I look forward to receiving.

I chose a Bronze Maiden seedling when I was at Schwerer in August. Many plants looked strong and my friend told me as far as he has seen from this cross, it is quite stable so you dont have to worry about getting a plant that will not look how you like it .
I think my favourite primary that I bloomed or could see is Phal Valentinii. It has amazing scent and it is very floriferous.
Im very excited for my Phal Rare Delight (maculata x gigantea) to bloom at some point but so far I think Valentinii has been all around the best one.

[shelli-ann]

What do you use to clean the leaves? So shiny and nice!

[marjanahs]

My favourite cross is phal. Philadelphia. :) mix of two of my favourite phal species.
