Haul, CareCollab, haul, CareCollab... Why not? It sounds great... And ohhhh wow, lindas!!! lindas!!! What a fantastic haul!!! Cattleyas have always been my absolute favourite!!! They will do very well for you, they love the heat, they are pretty tolerant about humidity and you can speak the language they understand 🤩. Amazing how the roots are so resistant to dryness...
Thank you so much for watching! I was absolutely overjoyed by the state these plants arrived in - and some still had viable roots. Unbelievable. Especially the nobiliors seem to be very tough. I practiced Portuguese with a lady from Natal in Brazil and with a lady from Sintra. Never took actual classes though
Hahah! Thank you so much. I have already filmed a follow up haha. Editing just takes forever. Right now, most of them sit in moss waiting for new roots.
They look amazing, Matt!! Fully agree with you, they are really impressive 👍🏼 i have the araguiensis as well 👍🏼so, I have to update The List. Mine has not bloomed yet but its still alive which is all we can ask for hey? The blooms on the pics made it a no brained for me. Excellent haul 👌 haul / carecollab / haul / carecollab... sounds like great content to me 😀
Thank you so much for watching. I did not expect such big plants - they were all described as seedlings... So far none of them showed any sign of decline (it's been two weeks already) and some even had some viable roots. The araguiensis is the least vigorous one though.
Oh, that's a biiig package! I see you're quite the pinks& purples fan. I'm more of a yellow and orange kind of guy. Really nice plants, but I agree, the crunchy roots aren't looking that hopeful. A good thing is that they should be producing new growth and roots, so that's cool.
Hahaha! I did not even get all of the ones that spoke to me. I do like orange flowers as well but many of the bigger orange Cattleyas have less attractive growth habits which is why I go for the pinks haha. I do have some orange rupicolous Laelias though.
@@MattbyNature I'm a ho-ho-ho for orange flowers, I cannot help it. I used to be really into pinks, until I wasn't haha. I do love Dark purples and indigos, and pinks as secondary colours, though. Oh, I can imagine you were craving an even bigger, bulkier package, that always happens if you let loose and add everything that's on your wish list. I usually add indiscriminately, then I go online to check care requirements and growth habit, and then, finally, I go to the cart and Marie Kondo it.
@@rianmilit Marie Kondo is an angel! Haha. Unfortunately, she told me to get rid of the Cattleya purpurata oculata which I severely regret now! Haha Dark purples are really my thing. But that's pretty rare in Cattleya species, which (for whatever reason) are really my thing!
@@MattbyNature If it didn't spark joy, it didn't spark joy, let it go (let it goooo, can't hold it back anymore, turn away and slam the door) . Trust the process of not getting so many plants you have no more shelf/ table space due to the many pots. And yeah, it is true it's hard to get much variety with species, but hey, there are plenty of gorgeous hybrids ready to get into your cart.
@@MattbyNature well a few of rhem had some live roots...still! Young catts with little or no roots are sometimes a bit fuzzy with lack of humidity and such but they looked quite plump, some stored energy so I think it will work out just fine! 😀
@@KarinsOrchids you’ll manage. Videos like this haul where I go more editing take so much time to make so I feel you. By the way - the Encyclia cochleata has only two leaves, right? So if a third is pushing, that might be a sheath, yes?
I am jealous. No one here seems to be importing from Bela Vista and they have some nice plants available. You picked up a nice selection but you forgot to get gaskelliana 😉. (and I get the blame, I never really wanted walkeriana until I started watching Stephen, now I have three) I just bought a labiata var rubra seedling out of Hawaii and it doesn't have the red pigmentation either. Perhaps they've been grown under lower light where it hasn't developed?
Really? I though SVO imports from BV on a regular basis. At least in Germany sometimes nurseries will try to organize an import if you request some specific plants. Concerning the gaskelliana: This one and lueddemanniana really are missing in my collection. And that even though Stephen has specifically told me in the comments the lueddemanniana is a must have! 🤯 I see what you mean. Maybe my plants will develop more pigmentation, maybe they won't. Let's see how they flower. ☺️
@@MattbyNature if Fred is importing plants from BV, they are likely for his private collection and for breeding stock. I'm trying very hard not to place an order from a different Hawaiian nursery to get a gaskelliana semi-alba and a trianae splash. If I could buy just those two, done deal, but you have to place a $100 minimum order. When his plants are between $8 and $15, that's a lot of extra plants to put in the cart.
@@michaelmccarthy4077 btw I just spotted more of the scale daemons on another plant which is located on the opposite side of the sideboard. Sprayed every plant with the systemic insecticide now… let’s hope I’ll get rid of them
@@MattbyNature yeah, if it is boisduval scale, it gets everywhere. Check in the leaf joint, where the leaves meet the bulb, I bet you will find them holing up on other plants. I hate them. HATE THEM.
More babies to look forward to see grow and someday bloom. Super awesome!
Absolutely! I'm super excited to see how they'll do!
Thanks for watching

WOW!!! They look so wonderful. I blame Stephen van Kampen-Lewis for my Cattleya nobilior and Cattleya amethystoglossa. Thanks for sharing
Right? With his greenhouse and the huge specimen plants... 100% goals haha. I hope the new plants will do fine under my conditions
Hahaha “‘maybe some laelias but they are probably cattleyas now…” 😅😂😂
I've never been good at taxonomy 🤷🏼♂️
HaHa Steven has influeneced *Many* of my choices too :)
How could he not - his plants look amazing!
All my dreams would come true if I had received an orchid haul like yours soo envious Matt. When you decide how to pot them on, please update.
Hahah! Thank you so much. I have already filmed a follow up haha. Editing just takes forever. Right now, most of them sit in moss waiting for new roots.

Lovely haul. Really looking forward seeing them grow!
Me too! I'm seriously running out of space though haha.

@@rianmilit I don’t really like Cattleya hybrids. Not sure why
Hi, the 2 jenmanii are the best ones quality wise. And ahhh the rubra variety 😇🥰
I'm just so impressed with the overall quality of the import. Can't wait to see how long it's going to take them to adapt to my environment

@@KarinsOrchids I’ve been babying them for two weeks now haha
@@MattbyNature 🤣 9 days ago I got a new haul ( again) the repot or not repot is postponed all of the time but now I really have to deal with them!!!
