Oh wow 👏👏. I am now rewatching video 😊. I don't think the words BEAUTIFUL & AMAZING begins to discribe Mercedes garden ❤. She is also such a sweetheart to allow us all in her space. Well done again Nelson ❤. I think I hear Laz calling 😅
Wowwww, what a beautiful video of Mercedes and her collection. I was waiting for this for a long time. She is definitely a "Master Grower" Nelson. May God Bless her with lots of health to be able to continue with her passion growing orchids. Saludos!!! ✨️👍✨️
Oh, I so love Mercedes! Also envious of her AMAZING GARDEN! I WOULD NEVER LEAVE IT. THANKS TO YOU BOTH, for the spectacular tour. One question, how many years since you became hooked?
Our pleasure! I’ve been doing botanicals since I was a child. Mercedes has been at this for many years since her youth in Cuba. It’s a passion that never runs dry. 🤗💚
Hi Nelson😁🙌💖Wow! Wow! Wow! Mercedes has it all😃🙏💞I listened careful to those orchid care tips. I really think the airy baskets are ideal to grow cattleya in. I enjoyed seeing all the amazing and beautiful orchids Nelson☺️🤲🌟
Thank you Newman. I actually just purchased 2 square vented pots for my Dendrobiums. I always take great ideas with me when visiting Mercedez. Glad you enjoyed it. 👍🏼
I love it when it's a home visit. Especially with Mercedes, she has las bellas orquídeas! Siempre aprendo algo nuevo. Her hanging baskets from Dollar tree help my phal. through a new spike after blooming for the summer. Gracias Nelson & Mercedes for such an awesome video. Watching from SoCal.
Me encanta ver el hermoso jardin de la sen̈ora mercedes ❤ Debe ser muy feliz en ese pedacito de paraizo Mil gracias a usted por tan lindos videos saludos desde Denver co usa

Muchas gracias Nelson por tan hermoso video y también Mercedes su jardin hermoso y de respeto ,es un deleite ver este paraíso, feliz navidad para todos
Bonjour Nelson, Cette visite chez Mercedes est, encore une fois, riche en informations pour la culture des différents genres d’orchidées. Merci à Mercedes de nous recevoir chez elle, et merci à vous de nous faire ce magnifique cadeau. Très joyeuses fêtes de Noël à tous les deux. Patricia… from Bordeaux, France !!!
Joyeux noël! Je voulais offrir à mes téléspectateurs cette saison le meilleur des meilleurs producteurs d'orchidées en Floride. Je suis heureux que vous ayez apprécié.💚🙏🏼🎅🏼
Wow!!!!!!!!! Cuanta belleza, Cuanta humildad y cuanto carino!!! Nelson me encanta oirte hablar espanol!!!! Les deseo a todos Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New year!!!! Gracias por ofrecernos estos momentous de relax.
43.30 looks like Rlc. Chia Lin “New City”, mine is blooming now too and looks actually like hers!❤ and o my, what a show! I loved every minute of it. Thank you both. 😊
Just love the tour of Mercedes spectacular nursery. It seems to get better everytime u go there. She has made a beautiful garden, just love it. Thank you Nelson for taking the time to showcase all her beauty. And Mercedes, your a treasure , Happy Holidays to you both and good health for the New Year💚💚💚🌲🌲🌲
Absolutely an orchid paradise. Ya know how we always say "Gee, I wish I could buy one of everything"? Well, Mercedes has accomplished that goal! Truly a beautiful area, and it's obvious to see how knowledgeable she is and how dedicated to caring for her plants. I like all the hanging baskets etc, but those of us growing our plants in a cold climate and having to bring them indoors for several months each year, preclude that from a viable method of growing since watering would be a nightmare. I wish both of you all the best. Oh, btw, if some evening she finds someone sitting in her garden, don't worry, it'll be me enjoying the ambiance. I'll buy the drinks. The two of you, stay well, have a very Merry Christmas and a Great New Year.
Gracias Nelson por compartir Mercedes por enseñaros tantas Bellezas espero Dios les de alos dos muchos sños de salud gracias FELIZ DE NAVIDAD Y PROSPERO AÑO PARA AMBOS D3SDE CANARIAS ❤❤❤❤
Oh wow, I am speechless with all this awesome beauty 😍 Thank you Nelson for sharing this and thank you Mercedes for giving us another look around your paradise 💚💜🩷 The shade of red on the Dinah Shore Vanda really captivated me. I have questions about the use of Cal Mag. You mentioned it fairly early in the tour and I wasn’t sure if Maria is using it for yellowing of leaves post hurricanes and/or cold weather? Towards the end, Maria talked about it more and I think she switches from her regular fertilizer regime to only Cal Mag from November to February? I use MSU fertilizer which has calcium and magnesium and the tap water is hard so I am thinking using Cal Mag too would be too much? Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated 😊
She uses Cal Mag during this season once a month together with her fertilizer. During the growing season she slows the Cal Mag a bit and then increases it again during rainy seasons and extreme hot weather. Feeding orchids is diverse due to environmental conditions in each collectors location. Her regimen is simply a guide not a standard. You can test out your orchids and observe them closely to see the results and reactions to the feeding.
What a great Christmas gift for the viewers to see Mercedes' collection again! 🙌 30:19 Happy Holidays! 🎄🥳 57:02 Thank you! 13:13 I got my first Yellow Bird from Lowe's this summer. Two for $34 just to get a specimen size orchid. 😁 14:42 I saw the Den. spectabile at J&L Orchids earlier this month and I've been thinking about getting one now. I found out later that it's fragrant and is also known as the "Alien Orchid." 👽 46:16 I didn't know about this hybrid. 15:16 I saw lizards three times when I was in Hawaii. 🦎 They seem to go well with orchids. My favorites (Queens of the Month 👑): 21:00, 40:24, 43:18 (Rlc. Chia Lin?), and 48:41.
Thanks for the identification. After looking through it carefully, the orchid you are referring to does not have the mustard yellow in the throat of the flower. It’s very close to it, but not the same flower.
Desde Buenos Aires ,Argentina maravillado por el jardin de esta hermosa señora , el clima es todo ,aqui tengo unas 150 plantas, sin invernadero y toleran el frio hasta 5 grados , menos temperatura entro todo y vivo en un literal vivero , pero florecen y crecen muy bien Saludos ,FELICES FIESTAS
Lovely video. Thanks. Could you please give the name of the purple Vanda with many blooms. I want to add that to my collection.19:16. Is it also Vanda Violetta?
I don’t know what she uses. But a really good mix is one part ordinary houseplant potting mix with one part seedling bark and one part well-rotted cow or horse manure for Phaius.
Buenos dias, good morning Me encanta Mercedes y su experencias con orchidias. Me recuerda Ella de mi Tia hasta su voz y mantra de ser. 😊 baggie babies i have found at box stores every other week the trick is to know when they deliver. You soy igual no me gusta la attention y soy penosi por Camara pero me gusta ayudar a los demas que dilemma eh.
Me alegra mucho que hayas disfrutado del recorrido por el jardín de Mercedes. Ella es una cultivadora de orquídeas muy conocedora. Definitivamente ha desarrollado la capacidad de convertir orquídeas en bolsas en especímenes.

Lovely video. Thanks. Could you please give the name of the purple Vanda with many blooms. I want to add that to my collection.19:16. Is it also Vanda Violetta?
Yes. That a Violeta. If you’re in Florida you can purchase it from Benjong Orchids.
@@naturenel Thanks. I live in the other side of the world but I will try to get it from importers from Thailand if possible.
Hi Nelson,
What I the medium in the phaius orchid?
I don’t know what she uses. But a really good mix is one part ordinary houseplant potting mix with one part seedling bark and one part well-rotted cow or horse manure for Phaius.

Please say the location and temperatures
Thanks
Miami, Florida and it’s usually in the 80’s.
A mi me pasa q los bulbos de las flores salen y se me mueren antes de salir y con ustedes ya se mas o menos porque pasa gracias
Tienes que he usar Sevin. Yo lo esplique en el video que eso mata los Thrips que se comen los bulbos.
It is such a shame we cannot benefit by this lady's words as we cannot speak her language and we miss out on an awful lot of information
Love it ! Thank you Mercedes and Nelson for this video I was waiting for it , speech less thank you for all the tips .
Feliz Navidad Mercedes and Nelson! .😍😍🫶🫶🫶🎄🎄🎄
