Something very cool that has happened many times with my flower shop mini phals is that they are not fragrant when I initially purchase them. But in the next year's bloom they have fragrance! It is always so pleasantly surprising to find out that the ones I thought weren't fragrant are actually fragrant once they get amazing care in my collection. I love it😊
OMG is it terrible of me that I laughed when you said you were the last unicorn 😂😂!! I love the scented mini phals I've been finding in big box stores.. kinda makes me want to replace my unscented phals!
Thank you so much Danny, you make me feel better about my own orchid addiction. I recently moved and am now relatively close (1hour drive) to Schwerter Orchideen, and so of course I had to go there, and I found it very hard to only buy four orchids (had my boyfriend not been with me I would have bought more for sure). Am already planning my next trip. 😱 The mini phals are very cute, I also find it hard to resist them when I see them in flower shops.
They’ve been selling those first two mini phals at our local grocery store in Arizona and I was wondering if they weren’t a hybrid because of the scent and the leaves. Love hearing a little bit more about them! Beautiful haul!
Highly unlikely to find species in a grocery or big box store. There are also many fragrant hybrids, usually with some Polychilus ancestry. I wonder what made you question that they‘re hybrids because of their leaves, tho. Could you maybe elaborate that. Or do you refer to the mottling/pattern? Sometimes this trait gets passed on by the members of subgenus Phalaenopsis (e.g. P. philippinensis or P. schilleriana) or former Doritis now Phalaenopsis pulcherrima with mottled leaves. However, most species have green leaves. Especially Phalaenopsis pulcherrima is used a lot in hybridisation to create smaller/compact plants
Everytime I see one of your videos, I'm like "I want to buy another orchid". Haha. My collection is growing, and I no longer have room for more orchids. Will I let that stop me from buying more? Of course not! Glad you're OK after your accident ❤🩹
I have the same problem with oncidium types. The pseudo bulbs always always shrivel even though I water them and they looked perfect when I bought them. And when I do water them, the flowers wither and die. 🤷♀️ the humidity in my house never drops below 50% (I’m in the Pacific Northwest of the the USA) so I’m at a loss. Looking forward to hearing your experience.
The phalaenopsis in 4:56 is known as Love Potion , Phal Miki Flora , and u are right as it does have some bellina in it since it's a Phal Timothy Christopher x bellina hybrid. I did manage to find it here in the U.S at a Lowe's and I love it. Too bad false spidermites love em too.😢
Hey Danny! I have had the Dusty Bell and the Scentsation for over two years now and they are both amazing, let them grow and you’ll feel the power of the fragrance, the scentsation smells more citrusy and it’s wonderful. I’ve been looking for the Love Potion forever! Congrats on that haul! They where all awesome!
I love fragrant phals, what ever they might be! You are so lucky to find those in flower shop! Thanks for sharing and happy growing! Would you repot them as soon as you got it ?
Danny, please send the hot weather down South, we have had a cold and wet summer, I am still wearing winter clothes and temps are supposed to be in the late twenties or mid 30'C already.
Danny, your new orchids are beautiful! I recently bought two miltoniopsis hybrids at the Downtown LA flower market about two weeks ago. I thought they were oncidiums, because I was too distracted by the beauty to check the tags 😅. One is Lillian Nakamoto, and the other is Hawaiian Splash “Kaplana.” It wasn’t until after I got them home that I learned what they are, but I’m happy to report that they’re both thriving at the moment! I’m a little worried about the summer, because it gets VERY hot here, and we do try to conserve air conditioning, because California is expensive lol. I am cautiously optimistic about not killing these, because these two are allegedly “the most temperature tolerant” of any miltoniopsis. Wish me luck 😂.
My orchids are sprouting flower spikes already! The temps are in the 30s F here so it’s cold. They are in a sunny window so they’re warm in the day but cool at night. My heat is set at 65 F at night.
I have the red Oncidium Type Orchid and it can be found under the name of "Odontoglossum Chayenne". I keep it outside in the shade of a tree during the summer (in Southern Germany) , because it loves the cooler temperatures and higher humidity at night. When temperatures drop below 10 °C at night and don't exceed 18°C during the day I will bring it inside. Mine does have a light scent but only on the relatively recently opened blossoms. I sadly couldnt find any information about the parentage of this hybrid so far. I'm looking forward to your updates on your's!
Few days ago I just bought a dusty bell version, I love the colors :) In France they call these perfumed phalaenopsis "papillon" : butterfly. I paid it 10€ Else I bought a strongly perfumed vanda to someone few weeks ago. OUAHHH it's even a bit too strong the perfume 😂 I never thought I would say that for an orchid :)
I feel ya on the oncidium alliance,my love that hates me is oncostele (i think its still going by) " night shift succubus " ,shes sooo red she's almost black, beautiful to me but that one just can't stand me lol
The same thing happened to me with the bar that got stuck except it was my greenhouses metal bar and it was rusted and when I yanked it toward me in frustration it broke and went into my arm and sliced in a few layers of my arm and I had to get stitches on my birthday 😅
That red Oncidium looks like Oncidopsis Fran's Nymph (or possibly Oncidopsis Living Fire). Maybe that's a different hybrid, but they likely have some parents in common :) It's gorgeous!
That violecia hybrid i bought in the summer and her name is Love Potion but i would love to know when would she bloom. 🤔 In the summer or in the autumn,spring?
my tiny twinkle are building flowerspikes all over for 2 month now and also buds but these do not open. that's a first. for the last 2 years they bloomed wonderfully. what is their problem? I moved to another house in June, before they started with the spikes. they have a bright place without direct sun. I don't know what to do.
You should do a video discussing your favorite fragrant mini/ medium size phals!

Oh Danni. What a collection. Beautiful colours. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🫶🫶
I can't wait to watch you repot them!
Ahah i love that you call it the exodus! 😊 your puppy is already so big!
Lucky. It’s so rare to find fragrant phals here where I live. All your new ones are gorgeous. Best of luck with them!
Your Red orchid looks like Burr. Living Fire 'Glowing Embers'. Whether it is or not, the world will never know... :-)
OMG is it terrible of me that I laughed when you said you were the last unicorn 😂😂!! I love the scented mini phals I've been finding in big box stores.. kinda makes me want to replace my unscented phals!
Ah! I hope we get fragrant phals where I live soon.
Thanks god your ok now🙏
Keep safe always❤️

Thanks for the video! Would love to see a repot with these guys, love intergenerics/oncidium alliance orchids as I live in your old climate.

I live in Az and bought one unfortunately come with water between leafs and die

That Phal. Has to be the "Love Potion". I got one in the spring, and I have to say that its the best smelling orchid of all! 😍👍❤
I couldn’t tell you’d been hurt. You look as beautiful as always!
Everytime I see one of your videos, I'm like "I want to buy another orchid". Haha. My collection is growing, and I no longer have room for more orchids. Will I let that stop me from buying more? Of course not!
Glad you're OK after your accident ❤🩹
Hey Danny, I think the name of the pink scented phal is Phal. Miki Flora. I had it not long ago and indeed the fragrance was devine.
Altho in the Caribbean ... seven of my dendrobiums sent out spikes - and there's more coming out!! Yes, they usually bloom in October/November.
Love your work, and I’m so glad you’re ok!
Glad you are okay!! The things to do for our Orchid babies!!
hi Danny! greatings from Czech republic! I love to watch your orchid hauls the most)) p.s. the red oncidium is probably Odontoglossum Chayenne :3
Who knew the orchid hobby could be so dangerous 💀 Glad you're okay, and such lovely new orchids
I have the Oncidopsis Francine "Roseglow". Its one of my very favorites. ❤
I have the same problem with oncidium types. The pseudo bulbs always always shrivel even though I water them and they looked perfect when I bought them. And when I do water them, the flowers wither and die. 🤷♀️ the humidity in my house never drops below 50% (I’m in the Pacific Northwest of the the USA) so I’m at a loss.

I LOVE when Danny make fragrant phal spotlight!

The peach/pink mini phal you have looks a lot like a new one of mine, Sog Gotris. I think it’s just beautiful!❤
i have one phal love potion too! absolutely divine!!
Hey Danny! I have had the Dusty Bell and the Scentsation for over two years now and they are both amazing, let them grow and you’ll feel the power of the fragrance, the scentsation smells more citrusy and it’s wonderful.

I love fragrant phals, what ever they might be! You are so lucky to find those in flower shop! Thanks for sharing and happy growing! Would you repot them as soon as you got it ?
The dusty belle is a combo of phal Sogo Gotris x Phal equalacea x pinlong Cheris

The pink Phal that you have is Phal bellina x Phal Timothy Christopher.

Few days ago I just bought a dusty bell version, I love the colors :) In France they call these perfumed phalaenopsis "papillon" : butterfly.
I paid it 10€
Else I bought a strongly perfumed vanda to someone few weeks ago. OUAHHH it's even a bit too strong the perfume
😂 I never thought I would say that for an orchid :)
I feel ya on the oncidium alliance,my love that hates me is oncostele (i think its still going by) " night shift succubus " ,shes sooo red she's almost black, beautiful to me but that one just can't stand me lol
The same thing happened to me with the bar that got stuck except it was my greenhouses metal bar and it was rusted and when I yanked it toward me in frustration it broke and went into my arm and sliced in a few layers of my arm and I had to get stitches on my birthday 😅
The violacea hybrid is called Miki Flora (or Love Potion)
That red Oncidium looks like Oncidopsis Fran's Nymph (or possibly Oncidopsis Living Fire). Maybe that's a different hybrid, but they likely have some parents in common :) It's gorgeous!
That violecia hybrid i bought in the summer and her name is Love Potion but i would love to know when would she bloom. 🤔 In the summer or in the autumn,spring?
Oh my, i bought the same mini phal,that pink one a few weeks ago. 😍 The name is Dusty Belle, i think it is not a registered name.
I assumed the two mini phals were the results of hybridisation with Phal pulcherrima. I don‘t know if that species is fragrant as well, tho
The pink Phalaenopsis looks a lot like aromio cherry blossom
I just purchased a mini harraella on a piece of wood in moss. What can I feed it and should I put it in a pot
my tiny twinkle are building flowerspikes all over for 2 month now and also buds but these do not open. that's a first. for the last 2 years they bloomed wonderfully. what is their problem? I moved to another house in June, before they started with the spikes. they have a bright place without direct sun. I don't know what to do.
Where can I buy the supports that you use for your orchids?
The fragrant phal should be Phal.(Violacea-Timothy Christopher)’San Ho Chanel’.
I’m curious if it may be Phal Timothy Christopher x Bellina (C4)
Ugh I have so many fragrant Phals but they’re all set back because the cold weather when I bought them. 😭
If you ever get a chance to get Dtps. Sapphire's galah, just grab it. The fragrance puts bellina and violacea to shame.
I wanna get a mini phalaenopsis bc the big ones intimidate me, i saw a house with a mini phal so i know my climate is perfect for it
Phalaenopsis Miki Flora (Cherry Blossom) * secret GARDEN in România
Most red oncidium types have at least some Cochlioda (now oncidium…grrr…) noezliana (noezlianum) somewhere in the parentage.
5:13 Phal. San-Ho Chanel (Phal. Timothy Christopher × bellina)
How do I shop for orchids to the Flower shop?
29 in november. That sounds awful sorry. I would at max ever be able to live in like north medditerranian.
Lol, yet you have a photo of nice and hot Africa as your profile pic.
Helo sis can u send seed nepal
