Overall, very pleased with the orchids from Lucke and the fact that, upon repotting, they are all in fresh bark with no sphagnum plugs. The bark also seems good quality, which is so important, as if there were no new growths or roots we would need to wait to repot.

Thanks for watching everyone! :-)

[suethorpe]

Stood in a queue at a local supermarket and time just flew by watching this. Many thanks.

[lynnbrooks]

What are tremendous haul, you lucky girl

[orchidsbythelake]

Very nice buy! I think you should be able to grow little star no problem!

[timom]

The note reads: dear orchid lover, we have taken great care to package the plants well and we are sending them having considered the weather.
Please let the plants acclimate for twelve hours before you proceed with unpacking them

[NinjaOrchids]

👍🏼 advising to acclimatize before opening 😃... 12 hrs ... but ... who’s got time for that? With new orchids in the house! 😂

[thecrow]

anyone notice the little critter in the box at 19.40 :/

[skjra]

I had another unboxing yesterday from schwerter due to that tetraspis c1 🤣 i think i should better stop buying orchids and Plants for a while....

[TrishsOrchidLife]

❤️❤️❤️ cattleya! I just unboxed 3 nice specimens and have a few more coming. Would be interesting to see some of these being repotted. No we do not get tired of seeing reports! Stay healthy 😍

Nobilior tip: highest light you can provide, heat, prefer to be mounted because hates being wet, likes humidity.
Walkeriana tip: highlight, heat and high humidity without being wet all the time also likes to be mounted.
Mine are all monted and next to the shade cloth, it's Walkeriana season here in Brazil!!!

[justinhicks]

Wow that’s a big haul, I love the unboxing videos and this was a big one.

[marygorchidsmore]

Great un-boxing! Lots of interesting and beautiful orchids! Looking forward to see your re-potting video. Good luck with them all and thanks for sharing.

[orchidsgardeninengland]

Wow, that was an enormous orchid haul, fantastic Annabel. Alma Kee, I believe Ed has just received this, but his is in the coconut husk. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to repotting videos.

[NinjaOrchids]

Beautiful 🤩 absolutely ... an amazing haul! And a bloom 😎 I hope Lucke hurry up and send me my Floralia order soon 😫 ... Lucke shipping time was great considering the circumstances! Now...do your magic 😄

[tropicalplantsfinland]

Mine are almost here, they arrived Finland on Monday, just hoping to get them delivered before holidays.

Is catt. Dowiana hard to find/hard to grow?

Thank you for sharing the unboxing. Always so relaxing to see someone going through what they ordered. :) gives loads of joy and happy feeling.

I actually lost my Morning Glory to black rot. So poor plant seems to not like it here either.

[sandrag]

Thanks for sharing.
I speak german.
The letter says: "Don't unpack the orchids. First let them be packed in the room for 12 hours. Then they can get used to the climate, and won't be troubeled, even if they had been in cold temperatures.

[subhamdas]

ur unprofessional way of unboxing them, gave me panic attack all over the video

[normantorok]

wow, that's a great haul. Great plants.

[travelorchidslondon]

Hi Annabel. By the way "Lucke" is a name and reads "u" ☺

[michaelmccarthy]

staying safe? No, no. Like I told Margaret, I've been going to wild sex parties every night. Why get just one disease? 🤣
