Netherland hilton orchids Videos

+Roger Frampton I guessed as much, it's the same in our society. ;) There's a huge difference between those common hybrids in the grocery stores and species Phals and I don't take them seriously until they show me they're beautiful specimens of Phal. lowii or wilsonii that are too easy for them to grow. :D I quite believe it, it looks like a lot of work. Thanks for taking us with you.

+Bumblebee The view of some people at the society is that phalaenopsis are not worth bothering with as they are so common. And those that do like them are moving towards the species. One person calls them 'orchid weeds'. I think they still have a place - they are the reason that many start the orchid hobby in the first place. But yes, there were not as many as usual? Our next show is in September so maybe more will show up then (but that's not their normal flowering period?) Thanks for watching. I enjoyed the day even though I was very busy.

+John OBrien It was a good day. The 'potting and advice' bench I was on was non-stop so I didn't get as much time to look around as I would have liked. But it also stopped me buying too many plants!

+MaryG Orchids Your welcome

+Jackie Binkley I was 'very good' - I didn't buy anything! (except some that had been pre-ordered from one of the traders - it saves on the postage). But then I did spend most of the time on the 'repoting and advice' bench which kept me at arm's length from the plants. I will do a quick 'mini-haul' video if the builders next door stop all the banging!!!! I think that big coelogyne was 'cristata' but there are lots around where I live that have the variety 'lemoniana'. It looks very similar. Apparently, it was named after the hybridiser not the colour.

+Roger Frampton Well, thanks for sharing :)

+Gardening at Douentza We do what we can despite the short dull days in the Winter. But I'm lucky at this society - we have some of the best growers in the country. Our president - the smartly dressed gent next to that huge Coelogyne 'in a basket' is Keith Andrews of 'Keith Andrew's Orchids' that were based many years ago in a little village called Plush. He actually produced the original well-known hybrid 'Cambria Plush'.

Thanks for watching. I saw your castle video's they are magnificent!
