@@naturenel Thank you for introducing so many beautiful orchids to me! I purchased a Vanda Violeta after watching one of your older videos of Banjong Orchids. Can't wait for it to bloom!
Wow so many great plants never know what you’re going to find there. Ben is such a great soul too. Thanks for taking us with you Nelson 🤗. Love the blue vanda shocking I know right lol 😂
Ben is absolutely precious. He is such a delight and his Vanda’s are stunning. Once again it’s mail order time. Nelson thank you so much for taking us to Banjong’s!
His place is perfection. The neatness of it all if so refreshing. I love going there. And Ben’s aunt is so adorable. Too bad she’s camera shy. I adore her. 🤗
Such a precious man, Ben , and you are correct, Nelson, " It doesn't get better than this ." Hoyas are my scented fav's , Thanks for posting this tour on Mother's Day! You the Man !
What a nice and knowledgeable man Ben is! So enjoyed the the longer interview with him. And love the variety of handcrafted pots available. You deserve a special thank you on this video, Nelson.
Hi Nel! I have been watching your channel! I wish I live there in Florida. I don’t think I can grow Vandas here in California. They are beautiful! Thanks for sharing! I would love to buy a bundle of Ben’s orchids if I live there!
Glad you enjoyed it! What he has this season is just breathtaking. The quality and health of those orchids are just beyond perfection. Happy shopping. 🤩
I love their terracotta pots, so many different shapes, sizes and designs! If only they shipped to Hawaii! This is an amazing nursery though, would love to go there “when” I visit you one day 😉 Great video as always, mahalo for taking us along 🤙🏼
I totally agree! I immediately asked him cause I knew you would want to order from him. He later told me he doesn’t ship any pots because they are fragile and sometimes break on delivery. He’s had issues in the past so now he only ships the orchids inside the US. Outside like Alaska or Hawaii he said he doesn’t. 😔 sorry Kelly I tried.
@@naturenel when I watched the video, I had the feeling u asked about shipping for me 😂 I got my answer right there and then! I won’t hold it against him though, I’ll still visit his nursery 🤣
OMG Ben’s vandals are just stunning perfection❤!!! I loved hearing that Thai Orchid was his family’s restaurant. I loved that place when I lived in south Florida, delicious food and such a peaceful place filled with their gorgeous orchids. Great video, thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you so much 🙏 for the first hand view! I was about to finalize an order, good timing, your video reminded me to add a Colmarie before it’s sold out
Hey Nelson! I live in Oklahoma, but I am in Ft Lauderdale today and will be attending the Redland show!!! It will be my FIRST orchid event ever!!! I’m so excited!!!! I’ll be there Friday only because we have to head back to Oklahoma afterwards. But I’m moving to Venice, Florida in about a month!!!
Sorry I’m just reading this. I hope you had a wonderful time at the fair. 💚 You’ll love Venice, Florida. You’ll be at driving distance to some great orchid shows and nurseries.
What a great video, Ben is so nice and really knowledgeable, who knew all that from orchids to restaurant . Plus the hand carved pots😍. Thanks Nelson, it was very interesting 💚💚
Thank you for the great feedback. I wanted to feature his nursery and this came at a good time. I realize the orchid world does not have a strong marketing outlet to show collectors sales at the nurseries. I felt this was a good way to let my viewers know about the special sales, while talking orchid care and history of the family. I’m very happy with this one. 💚
You will go crazy at both places. I would stop first at Banjong. This video is getting so much response, I believe getting there earlier will assure you better choices. 👍🏼
You know what, Nelson? All I can say is I am really jealous on how many orchid shows/sales/expos you have there! Here in our city, in the recent years since 2016 onwards I guess, it's only like every 3-5 years I guess 😔
I agree with you. This is the reason I began my channel. I learned early on in that Florida is an orchid haven. Specially in the far southwest where I live. I felt that there were many orchid lovers out there that may not have the same outlet to orchids as we do here in Florida, so I created this channel to bring to your homes. Due to that mission, I have made many aware of the orchid events and fairs here. This has given the orchid community elsewhere the opportunity of making future plans for orchid vacation fun in my state. Im hoping that through my channel I inspire other places outside Florida to hold their own orchid events. 🤗💚
OMG what a fantastic orchid nursery the quality of the orchids are OUTSTANDING! You are one very lucky guy to be able to visit orchid nursery's like that, but the big question is what went home with you? Once again OUTSTANDING presentation 👏 keep it up Mitch from Australia 🇦🇺.
Hi Nelson! I loved watching your videos. I learned a whole lot about orchids. I wish we have something like this in Texas too. I’m just wondering how do we order from Banjong online?
Hi Jennifer. I put all their information in the description box. Give him a call. I also added his Facebook and Instagram information on screen towards the end. Any of those works to reach Ben.
😮 as much as I love the orchids and hoyas, I do love his pottery so much, I wish he ships those. But, I remember from Blanca’s video before that he doesn’t. 🫣 Love your video though😊
He doesn’t ship them due to the weight. They also can break easy on delivery. So to avoid all that, he decided to only sell in house. They are a true gem.
My Violetta is over 8 feet tall with two kikis. Each plant blooms so I have fragrant vanda blooms. I hang it from top of my pool enclosure in winter and move it to partial sun in spring and summer.
Nelson please pleaseeee like really please, can you ask nursery’s fertilizers if they using one with urea or if it is ok to use fertilizer with urea 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 finding 20-20-20 in my country is very hard to find 😞😞😞 what im using now is 15-7-8 and bought it from Germany im from italy and maybe thats why they growing very slow 😢😢😢 i found one 20-20-20 in amazon but the content of urea is more than the nitrogen content. I was scared using it.
Hello 👋🏼 thanks for sharing your video. Ben has the best vandas in town. Btw do you know the name of the vendor that sells the Mokara’s? Do you know if they will be at the Redland festival? 🤞🏼
There are several. But you’re probably talking about Dan and Margie Orchids. They should be at the show. You can go on the Motes site for the Redland show listing of vendors.
Thank you so much 🙏 for the first hand view! I was about to finalize an order, good timing, your video reminded me to add a Colmarie before it’s sold out
You are so welcome! Thank you so much for your generosity. When I see you guys donate to my channel it really touches me. I want to reach out and hug you guys so tight. It really means allot to me. I don’t take this for granted at all nor do I ever feel entitled. 💚🙏🏼
Orchid growing is art + science + love
It truly is. Specially the love part. 💚
Great content as always!
Thank you so much for your contribution to my channel. It helps greatly. 🙏🏼💚🫶🏼

Hi Nelson😌🙌I enjoyed the talk and tour of Ben's nursery🥰I can't believe a Vanda that big is only 45 dollars😱💞

Awe! Thank you. I’m happy I was able to bring you guys this video. Even I was learning new things. 💚
Hi Nelson, what an interesting video with Ben!
Thanks for sharing.
See you at the Redlands!
Thank you Magda. I wanted to shift things a bit and do like an inventory of his sales. I hope you like that.
Yes, very much
Hermosas plantas, Ben estas carismatico y humilde.
💚
Hi Nel! I have been watching your channel! I wish I live there in Florida. I don’t think I can grow Vandas here in California. They are beautiful! Thanks for sharing! I would love to buy a bundle of Ben’s orchids if I live there!
I don’t know if Vandas would do well there. But Phalaeonopsis do amazing g in California.
Amazing video and educational, thank you Nelson 🤩
Thanks to you we are growing day by day, thank you for showing us those wonderful places and sharing your experiences

Their Vandas are always the best. I have bought so many from them and they always carry the healthiest and most fragrant Vandas. Ben is the best!!
I agree! His bandas are beyond perfect. 👍🏼
I have been having a lot of problems at work. Watching your videos help me feel better. Your positive energy is amazing.
Oh wow! I’ve been there too and it’s always good to have an escape from a toxic work environment. I’m happy to read my videos rebalance your mood. 🙏🏼

OMG… I really have to stop by Ben one day… beautiful orchid. Thank you Nelson 🎉🎉🎉.
I encourage you to pay a visit. His place is like none other.

Glad you had the chance to go to the Thai Orchid. It’s a historical restaurant of south Miami. I was so surprised when he told me that.
I LOVE BANJONG orchids such a cool place
His Vandas are on a whole other level. 🤩

I actually met you there, Nelson! I heard someone call your name, and I turned and saw you behind me. I said, “Nelson! I love you!” And I hugged you.
I was the woman taking pictures of you guys off to the side when you were posing inside the frame painting of flowers.
Thank you for taking us with you to Banjong. Definitely going Saturday after Redlands. ❤
👍🏼💚🎉

Hi Nelson going to Redland for the first time and definitely stopping at Banjong. I’m so excited. I also love the pottery.

I don’t mind some info on pricing, but as a non Floridian, I found this more of an infomercial.
