@@beansarebest9795 Thank you very much
Congratulations!!!! The orchid is beautiful!!!!!!
@@lesliesolwayboyd689 Thank you and it is in spike again
congratulations!
@@elpilarorchids Thank you
I went to my first orchid show last year and bought four orchids there. I'm planning on attending again in March, but I don't have plans on buying anything this time unless there is something I really want to have in my collection. The coconut orchid and miltoniopsis I got are finally growing after almost a year. They're not easy because of the watering requirements but I'm just happy to still have them. 18:38 I'm not sure if smelling the orchids is allowed at these kind of shows but I would be all over this bellina since the one I have is very young and growing like a snail.
I live in Charlotte and was able to make to this show. We went on Sunday and I really enjoyed it. I can hardly wait for this years show.
Your plants are impeccable. The trianae is particularly impressive.
@@Shoots_blooms_and_leaves Thank you
Beautiful! I hope this means you will be posting more often.😊
@@lindaannb I am in the process of moving houses and will be posting more soon. I will bring everyone along as I set up my orchid grow room.
Love the flowers! Glad to see you post again!
I’m just catching up on your videos. ‘Normans Orchids’ who is in California, makes TH-cam videos. He uses less toxic sprays on his thousands of orchids. It might help you decide what to use.
How are you doing? I miss seeing you and your orchids!
@@RobertaOrchid1 Roberta, thank you so much for checking on me. I have been crazy busy with work, orchid society and finding a new home, so please hang tight a few more days so I can edit some videos and get them uploaded.
@ you are busy! Good luck with the home hunt! Let us know all about it.
The plugs are potted in floral plugs.

Beautiful! The Ports of Paradise Emerald Isle is incredible. I’ve had Mine 26 years now and is every bit as vigorous and fragrant as ever!

I love yourMusic And also orchids
@@gunsean5380 So glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching my video. Do you grow orchids?
Great video Tracy! I would love to see a video of exactly how you set up a your new grow space. Thanks! 🩷
17:50 I got the same one from Hausermann's this year and it was one of the most vigorous growers this summer. It arrived with buds and bloomed on my Mom's birthday in May. It is also my largest cattleya. My goal is not to divide it. 😁 It is Arlene Marie (1967) - C. mossiae (38%) + C. dowiana (25%) + C. purpurata (15%) + C. warscewiczii (7%) and Hausermann's Pride (1972) - C. mossiae (37%) + C. trianae (15%) + C. dowiana (11%) + C. gaskelliana (9%).
15:40 I'm using an all-natural oil, similar to tea tree or neem oil, to address your pest issue. The extraction process is time-consuming, which makes it a bit pricey. This oil, found in some plants as a natural defense, works like a natural turpentine to repel pests. It's widely used in hydroponics, but currently, only the large bottle of Blue Magic Pest & Powdery Mildew Control is available. Blue Magic uses patented terpene technology to combat Mites, White Powdery Mildew, White Flies, Leaf Aphids, Termites, Ants, and Mosquitoes, making it effective for both infestations and preventive care.
Personally, I’m gonna try everything natural before I go with man-made solutions
Nice bunch of orchids ❤
Thanks for this video Tracy! I didn’t know about rhizome clips. I learned something today! 😁
I so enjoyed watching the unpacking of your orchid consignment. I am absolutely green with envy, the reason, Hausermann's have provided you with magnificent plants. The packaging is so unique, nothing was damaged. I am not from U.S.A. and I just want to say, I ordered plants from a Nursery, spent a lot of money, and the plants are not even average. The packaging was so disgusting as well as the plants. All dried out with minimal packing. It is so disappointing when you spend much money and you receive under-quality stuff. I do not even think the plants are going to survive. I am just trying my very best, watching every day, I am hop8ing and trusting for a growing miracle. I received a gift plant, so small, but with patience and perseverance I have noticed a new leaf is starting to emerge from the centre!! The one plant - the leaves were torn the edges dried up, absolutely shocking. It was from a reputable Nursery, I feel I have been done short, it was not quality. Enjoy your blessings and all the best with the growing of your plants. Kind regards. ps. I am going to visit Hausermann's on the internet :)
All so beautiful! 🤩
Great Haul!
We have been on the exact same shopping schedule! I bought SVO Catasetums the same time as you...and now I shopped at both Ecuagenera and Hauserman the same time as you! Got my orders last week. I got C. Marilyn Lew at Ecugenera (the plant was terrible, I was angry!). And at Hauserman I got 2 Vandacious orchids, C. White Reception 'NN" and C. Chocolate Drop 'Yellow Chiffon'. They sent me the wrong plant for the latter (Burana Beauty), and I'm STILL waiting for my Chocolate Drop! I never have luck with Hauserman. They seriously screw up every order I've placed over the years. They do send nice plants though. Enjoy your new orchids. :-)
Delightful haul! I love all my plants from Hausermann’s, especially my Slc. Jewel Box ‘Dark Waters.’ That one is such a darling- the plant they sent me is MUCH larger than the seedling pictured online! Those fragrant mini Phals are powerhouses, and they turn into monsters in no time flat 👹
Just visited Hausermans last weekend for the Chicago orchid festival! I feel fortunate To live just a few miles from there! Awesome place! Also got a brassavola nodosa with a blossom and flower spike and the fragrance from one bloom fills the room.
Exciting! Got my Hauserman’s haul too, a Masdevalia Beth Cox, Potinara Burana Beauty, and splurged on a big pot of Hawkinsara Sadie Rainn. No buds, but there is a sheath on the Sadie Rainn. Enjoy your new orchids!
Beautiful, l love Houserman orchids.
Hand sanitizer removes personal information from label.
Nice!😊👍
I made the mistake of stopping on SVO website and saw they had the new Catasetums posted. I bought 3, but I think there was 6 I really wanted. I wanted the yellow and white one you bought too, but it sadly didn't make the cut from the 6 I wanted to the 3 I bought. Mine are being delivered this week. Thanks for sharing your unboxing! :-)
@@TimInUT oh, that is exciting. Which ones did you end up purchasing?
@@ForeverOrchids @ForeverOrchids 11138, 11152, and 11173. The only reason I took the one you bought off my purchase was because I already have Dendrobium Thyrsiflorum which has flowers that have that same color combination. I'm really in a "spotted" orchid mood lately too, and two of the ones I ended up getting were spotted. ;-)
Is there a stray cat in the neighborhood? Cats are notorious for knocking over plants and things 😳
ouch...amazingly little damage! we had a mishap recently in our living room when we were playing with some dogs :( they/we knocked over a tall shelf which had our phal gigantea, phal hieroglyphica, and a couple other houseplants on it. like you, somehow the plants were basically unscathed and we only lost one bonsai pot (which was on the ground and hit by the falling shelf) and cracked the ceramic cache pot on the hieroglyphica. amazing, really. glad to see that mostly all your pants are ok!!!
Beautiful! I have the fever😊 just got back from the WI OS fall show at the Milwaukee Domes. Brought home a few, some new types to try out. I picked up a Ctsm cross with a Melana Davidson crossed with a species, tigrinum. It had some flowers that were finishing up so I have a good idea what they look like. A wine spotting on a white petal, with a cream frilly lip. SVO wasn’t there this year and I’ve been pining for one of the clowesia crosses, who knows? Maybe my collection will have an expansion still? 😊
@@RobertaOrchid1 I was able to see a video of that show. Looked so nice. So glad you bought some catasetums. I think one of mine has a small spike started already. So I can’t wait for it to continue and bloom.
Wow, beautiful!
@@loribadgero1035 Thank you
Yuk! Good decision to dump it bec the scale have so weakened it ☹️
@@marylalone7104 Well, the plant was declining and probably losing it’s root system which makes it more susceptible to pests. Thank you for your comment.
“I get my gloves, and I just forget to put them on.” I felt that in my soul. 🤣
Beautiful blooms. Love how you started with the White Phal. You cleared our pallet for the rest.
RIP 😂😂😂
That’s to bad. I won’t feel bad now when I get rid of mine! Thank you!
I would save it. 😢
@@Orquideascristy I could have saved it but I have so many orchids right now and some are in ICU and I decided to follow the advice of Fred Clarke at SVO and cull it.
I have lost Pahiopedilums to scale before. They get so tight into the leaf axil too. It’s getting close to bringing everybody indoors for the winter here in the North, so I am taking inventory, figuring out who comes in first ect. Part of all that is seeing what treatments are needed so they can go into winter in the best condition. Last year I battled fungus gnats so bad. Hoping I don’t have a repeat 😅. Would you do a segment on your winter prep?
Sad. 😢
Those are some very lovely orchids that you don’t see every day! Thanks for sharing them with us!
@@lindaannb I am glad you enjoyed. That is why I am doing those kinds of videos to share blooms of plants that you may not seen. You can go back and watch my other Just Bloomin videos and see even more unusual and rare plants. Videos are in a playlist.
@@ForeverOrchids I definitely will!
Wonder video. Question, do you grow your polychilos orchids with your regular phals. I’m not having luck with them. I’m getting stem rot within 2 months. What’s your temp and humidity for your grow room. Thank you!
@@crasydaisy2010 I currently do have them growing together. Temp is around 71-72 degrees Fahrenheit and humidity runs average 50-60 percent
@@ForeverOrchids Thank you so much for replying. I think my humidity was to high, I had it at 70% but I’ve turned it down to between 50 and 60. Hopefully it will help. 😊
There is something special about a green bloom. 😊
Im watching again for about the 4 th time. 🫢 I have a question ❓. How long will it take before new roots come in?
I was whincing the entire time you did this! Its ok. Ive eaten a little dirt in my lifetime. Its organic!
Your Cattleya is 20 years old? I believe you know how to grow an orchid. Im just starting to grow Cattleyas. My Potinara Orchid, i grew from bare root, 2022. Might bloom next year. I just got a Corona Green Genie. She is in a wood basket. I hope my Catts look as good as yours some day. My Cattleya have not bloomed for me yet. I have a big Phal. She is 15 years old. My big baby! Thank you for showing us your beautiful Cattleya and sharing how you care for her. 💓
Amazing, just amazing! That is one big ole Catt! ❤
With my Cattleya collection, I've learned to be highly selective. My goal is to only acquire very rare Cattleyas, which helps keep my collection manageable. Space is a concern, and I've noticed that obtaining these rare Cattleyas can be costly, often starting at $500 or more. However, I’m hoping to self-propagate through tissue culture to make these orchids more accessible for everyone to enjoy. #ThatsMyGoal.
@@JonesJones-np2kq That is an awesome goal. I do believe that more orchid enthusiasts need to collect those heirloom Cattleyas, and their genetics needs to be passed on. I am trying to get some myself. Space currently is limited in my grow space for the standard size Catts. Which most of the heirloom are that size. I have a friend that is a master heirloom Catt grower, if he decides to sell any of his collection, I will let you know.
