Sometimes our orchid world seems empty of interested people. My daughter shares my interest but not the rest of the family or any friends. But we CAN show our shared passion in TH-cam vids. You keep sharing, we'll keep watching!
Thanks for your videos and insights, Roger.
It is my pleasure to hear about your plants. And, yes, I agree. TH-cam is a very good voice for many of us. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
Always watching and learning William!
It's still gorgeous....good, good, , great! Oh, no 😯 fert. burn. Thankful that My Green Pets share the same passion. Thanks for sharing and happy growing.🌱
With much appreciation!
Thank you William for sharing your little green pets with us, I honestly know the feeling of not being able to talk about my green fellows and their new roots with out people looking me like I'm crazy Lol. It's always nice to know that we are not alone and that we are part of an amazing community filled with amazing people like you. Cheers man!
Aren't we lucky to be able to connect this way?
I completely understand the need to share your excitement and Orchids with someone. I think I drive my friends crazy when I get excited about something and I want to tell everyone about it. They always respond, but they don't truly understand the excitement and the passion that I have for orchids. Nice again thank you for sharing. My early Sunday mornings mean my first cup of coffee and a visit to the Green Room!!
It's nice that friends and family will lend an ear. But they just don't share the enthusiasm and that's fine. Others do :)
Yay ! She opened 😊I love the beautiful flower of your Amesiella monticola. She looks gorgeous ! Extraordinary cute little plant.
Your Phals got some nice flowers as well and so many buds that haven't open yet !
Thanks for the update on your slipper orchids which had quite bad looking serious rotting issues. Interesting to see that the plants healed without your intervention. I'm impressed to see the healthy new growths. Great that you took the risk to wait and see what happens.
I was touched by your kind words thanking your viewers for watching.
Thanks for the nice tour around your green pets.
Have a nice Sunday ! See you next week ...
I want my Paphs to grow well and bloom! But I keep making silly mistakes! :)
william is the train I got my first orchid. and I can't thank him enough. I love my orchids.
I'm so glad you enjoy them! Hugs to you guys!
I just came around your channel and your setup is impressive! That is one thing that I enjoy is being apart of the Orchid TH-cam Community is we're all here because we love what we do, and learning from one another:) Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for stopping by.
I'm excited for both of our phal. schillerianas. Everything looks very happy. Thanks for sharing and happy growing.
Yeah!
I appreciate you sharing your beautiful orchids. Speaking about them has helped me with my green children. Who are obviously quiet common I am not yet ready for the more complex species. Your channel gives me hope one day I will be.
You will, you will!
we like hearing about your buds! thank you William green!
Thank you!
Gorgeous plans.It is unfortunate that you didn't make to show.Thank you for sharing.
Oh well. As another viewer said, I have all of you to tell me that it's nice. You're my judges :)
Some lovely orchids you have there! Great video and the fertiliser burn thing..yes been there!!
Major setback!
Love the Amesiella monticola! cant wait for mine to bloom.
I don't have much to say but I'm a great listener! I appreciate your videos and look forward to many more in 2017!
Thanks for listening!
AND, thank you for making these good quality videos!
I hope to keep doing it! Thanks for watching.

The Paph thanks you!
Thank you for sharing! Beautiful collection.......
Thank you!
They are all so lovely,thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
always such a joy to watch these videos! What a huge Paph!!!, hope your other Paph recovers soon..happy growing
I have a special place in my heart for my Paphs for sure...surely the burned one will rebound!
Good to know!! They are gorgeous.
William. .. u put smile on my face... today is saturday. and we all that watching your video will be your judge. your collection as always great. you doing amazing job. taking of orchids is hard and timing consuming every day. .if you have moment can you write me name of the paph.with the long petals please. thank you. sarka
The Paph with the long petals is Michael Koopowitz. Look up Paph Prince Edward of York and tell me if you like that one too.
Thanks to you! Really enjoy!
I'm glad you visited. :)
I'm watching mainly to get some identification on orchids that I have and are doing great but I have no clue what they are. So thank you.
Thank you!
Glad you are sharing your great orchid collection. I'm in the same situation as you: hard to find others who suffer from orchid fever😁
The Amesiella monticola is superb. That flower looks like it's made of porcelain. Must be night scented?
Thanks for showing Nitrogen burn. I think a couple of my phragmipediums have it. Though it looks a bit different in my plants.
I keep forgetting to mention what a great setup you have. The live cam is great! Happy growing!!!!
I'm so glad you enjoy it. The fertilizer burn is so frustrating. Just sitting and waiting and hoping the plant doesn't die. Amesiella is slightly fragrant at night. Similar to Neofinetia falcata fragrance. Also reminds me of Four o'clocks.
you're welcome and we are waiting for a vid about that schilleriana 🌸
I am waiting to sniff it! :)
Very infomative vid.Thanks very much for sharing your beauties with us.
My pleasure!
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing it with us.... your orchids are and do Incredible. The same happens to me, nobody arownd me cares about orchids except for my mother, but she just love all kinds of plants. She doesn't really see orchids different from another houseplant. Fortunately we live in this time and we are able to find people with the very same interests.
Regards from Pamplona, Spain.
PD: Love your phals :)
Bien dicho y gracias senor. Yo estuve cinco anos en espana, en madrid...que recuerdos mas buenos. Un abrazo.
My Green Pets I certainly enjoy your weekly Updates! my main problem is mealy bugs like my paphpedulum and last year I had a bad time with them.....lost many of my buds. Finally got the Bayer complete stuff and that helped but even though this year they have been many blooms and good growth last year those darn mealy bugs keep raising their ugly Selves! just found some more while watering today.....get the Bayer mixed Up! I've had some rot on my leaves and stems but when I have mealy bugs under control they do seem to recover well with fresh bark.....all of mine will be do for repotting very soon. keep up the videos.....you have a captive audience!
Dave, I'd like to help you with the mealybugs. I have been taught that insecticides must be applied every week or two for at least three rounds to kill the pests at all stages of their life cycle. Pro growers I know actually change insecticides every couple of months to keep pests from adapting to the same one and becoming 'superbugs'.
Hi William. Do you have local orchid societies where you are? I find that a great place to share your love and passion for orchids. I do love and appreciate watching your videos, and look forward to them when they pop up on my subscriptions page. Like you, I do not have anyone to really share my passion for plants and orchids with, so youtube is such a great platform for me to connect with amazing people like you, so thank YOU. The orchid community is a special family. In terms of the bulbo, did you say it was a species? My guesses: Echinolabium, Fascinator, lobii, Papulosum? I could be way off. LOL. Bulbos are definitely one of my favorite genus of orchids :)
The nearest orchid societies are 2 hours away with monthly meetings on weeknights, so I can't make them. The Bulbo still hasn't been guessed. Dezherae doane has had the closest guesses so far.
"The orchid community is a special family." I like this :)
I always enjoy watching your videos, beautiful orchid collection! I do wonder where you could possibly store that enormous Vanda for the winter? I'm thinking the bulbophyllum is something like lobbii or sumatranum.
The Vanda is back in the sunroom like last year. Keep guessing :)
Thanks for your voice! please continue the great work you're doing. I really like your A.motica, does it have fragrance? It was nice to see your paphs recovered from rot, good sign. Looking forward to see you phal Schlleriana in bloom. By the way where is your oncidium maculatum? has it got spike yet? I am going to order one of those since you were recommending it in your previous videos. Can you tell me what is it smell likt?
A. monticola has a light fragrance that reminds me of a Neofinetia falcata, four o'clocks, moonflower or other night-blooming flowers. Onc. maculatum has not spiked this year! Not sure if it is the conditions in the Green Room or the hail damage it received last May. It has a sweet and fruity scent, but not strong.
thank you. prime child what you have ?? the prince / rothschildianum very simular.. we have orchid show in Toronto on Feb.11 12.. I will try to look for .txs.
Prime child is my largest Paph.
Hi William I feel the same way about not having anybody to talk to about my orchid so that's why this orchid community is so great. I was wondering if you could give me the name of the yellow phal that's in bloom on your table right now. Thanks
It is nice to be able to talk freely about orchids. About the Phal, I don't have a tag for it, but it is similar to Phal Brother Sara Gold.
Your amesiella monticola is so cute. I just bought one. It is paradise smelling. Mine are so thirsty, is this one needs more often watering??? Or using moss environment?
I use sphagnum moss and water it every day, but the pot has holes in the sides to allow air to reach the roots.
Hmm, 1 st blooming? Surely not, I am sure I have seen Ms. Schilleriana blooming in your sun room. Love the Amesiella, it so sparkly.
Ah Ms. Brooks, I just got the schilleriana in July. First one, honest ;) Maybe it was the Phal Mem. Cecilia Rimland you saw ?
I always enjoy seeing your sweet sweet buds,
Lol.
I have a very similar yellow Phal, but mine has got less stripes than yours. Do you have an ID for it? It is sad that the Mormodia didn't wait for the show, but that's just the way it is. Orchids are like cats sometimes, they just do whatever they want :) And for that sparkly Amesiella... I'm notorious for adding evething I see to my wishlist, so I'll pretend I didn't see it :D Thanks for sharing!
Let me warn you that the Amesiella is super slow, otherwise it grows right alongside my Phals.
"Slow" is still better than "don't have one". So, I didn't see it :D
See what?
Is the bulbo a grandiflora? or a fraudulentum? longisepalum? I'm almost positive it's in the section hyalosema
There you are! Knew you'd start getting in there. Getting very warm :)
Aaaahhhhh!!! Ya Killin me smalls😂😂😂😂😄😄😄
Count me in!!!
How's the scent of the
Amesiella monticola? Was hoping you'd mention it :)
Honestly there was very little fragrance if at all. Just a tiny hint of sweetness in the evening.
Waooo so cute 👍🏻🥰
It is a little cutie.
R u going to sell any of your slipper Orchids?
SELL ??!?!??? :)
the orchid community is a good one!
We've got a little bit of everything ;)
Okay, I get it! Darn it!
Haha. I might be dividing some plants this year, there might be some plants up for grabs. :)
ahahahah! perfect!
