Hi Kelly. Once again I couldn't stop saying WOW to all the amazing, beautiful blooms. The colours are so vibrant, I'm struggling to find the words to describe them. Thanks you so much for taking us to this nursery, It was such a pleasure to watch the video.
@@renatecormick7399 Aloha Renate! I felt the same way when I was filming 😍 I’m so glad I had an opportunity to visit their nursery and share it with everyone. Mahalo for watching 🤙🏽
I will take one of everything please. Let’s start with the structure of the greenhouse. 😍😍😍 I love the wood framing. You don’t usually see that here. It’s mostly dome styled or shadehouse squared. The Cattleyas are like a fairytale flower. Unreal. Everything is so so healthy. It’s so cool to get a tour of Carmela’s. We only knew them from their booth at the shows. It makes me very happy to see so many incredible cattleyas being propagated and grown in Hawaii. Honestly I didn’t expect Carmela’s to surprise me cause I figured they would have great stuff. But I am floored. I can not believe how perfect everything looks. And so many varieties. lol!!! Cranberry and Yellow. As soon as you showed it I yelled…mine!😅 This video is a great catalog to order their orchids. I may order a box from them and do a Carmela unboxing. Imagine that unboxing. I would die. 🤩 I love their lab. It’s always so cool to see the process. The ending was perfect. 👌🏼Best video you put out on nursery visits. Thanks. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@naturenel Oh Nelson I was loving every minute of my time there! The cattleyas especially were like eye candy! Omg! So many big, beautiful blooms 😍 As soon as I saw that cranberry & yellow vanda I automatically thought of you 😂 I’m so glad I had this opportunity to visit such a popular nursery, and even more so that I was able to share it with everyone 💚
@@Orchids365 Aloha Roxy! Getting to visit Carmela Orchids was definitely a treat, I’m glad I was able to share it with all of you 💚 Mahalo for watching 🤙🏽
Thanks for sharing and showing us the beautiful orchids, just which you could have shown us more of the names of the orchids. I would love to order some. I'd love to have been with you ❤️
@@barblucas2539 Aloha Barb! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Sorry we did t show very many tags but Carmela orchids does have a website so you might see the ones you want on there or you could screen shot the orchid and email it to Sheldon. I hope this helps 😊 Mahalo for watching 🤙🏽
They still sell the Pez Candy but maybe it isn't as available as before.Love the video!!!!!! Thanks for sharing. Really appreciate seeing where the action is happening.
@@ChristophersJungle Aloha Christopher! lol yes I still see those Pez candies in a few stores. That orchid really did smell just like it. I’m so glad you loved the video 💚 I was excited to go there and finally visit the very famous Carmela Orchid Nursery! I don’t believe there are any other videos of their nursery so I’m so glad I was able to share it with everyone 😊 Mahalo for watching 🤙🏽
Thank you for this tour! I have ordered so many babies from Carmela Orchids a few years ago that are now full blown big specimens now. So nice to see their nursery!
@@NicoleDeanna Aloha Nicole! That’s so awesome that you’ve grown them to specimen size 💚 They have amazing deals too so ordering from them is so worth it. Mahalo for watching 🤙🏽
Oh Kelly, a SUPER THANKS to you, WOW WHAT A TREAT. OMG, there are some real beautiful orchids that Sheldon has. Never have seen his nursery before so that was really special, and Jeremy cracks me up. Oh thank you my friend, it was great💖💖💖💖🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
@@lindagrabner4186 Aloha Linda! I knew this video would be a special treat for a lot of people because of how popular Carmela Orchids is in the orchid world. I saw so many beautiful orchids that I wanted to take home 😂 My next video will be the haul of all hauls haha! Glad you enjoyed it and mahalo for watching 🤙🏽
Wow, they had some spectacular Cattleyas there that I haven't seen before! You were like a kid in a candy store! "Look at this guys...look at this one...OMG, look at this one!". HAHA! Thanks for another great video! I just subscribed! 🙂
@@TimInUT Aloha! Oh yes I am definitely a kid in a candy store when I’m surrounded by so much beauty 😍 It is seriously hard to keep my focus 😂 And the cattleyas….Omg! The colors were amazing, some of the blooms were bigger than my hand, I was drooling 🤣 I definitely have a limited vocabulary when I’m feasting on eye candy! I’m glad you enjoyed the video 😊 Mahalo for watching and subscribing 🤙🏽
@@svetlanatesler3381 Aloha Svetlana! Yes Carmela Orchids is extremely popular so I’m happy that I was able to tour their nursery and share it with everyone 💚 Mahalo for watching 🤙🏽
Lovely tour Kelly and what amazing blooms so that Vanda was more cranberry than orange and it was intensely rich and gorgeous! Nelson may need that....his are lighter than that one😂 Thanks again for the tour and great 👍 video😊 have a great day!
@@kathleenhoughton6129 Aloha Kathleen! Yes I think when Nelson sees that one, he’ll fall in love with it, it was beautiful 😍 I’m glad u enjoyed the tour 😊 Mahalo for watching and I hope you’re having a great day 🤙🏽
@@yolantalachance2779 Aloha Yolanta! That’s how I felt while I was filming lol It was hard to stay focused! Glad you enjoyed seeing their beautiful orchids 😊 Mahalo for watching 🤙🏽
@@Celly446 Aloha! They do offer some amazing deals, they have beautiful orchids and it’s delivered right to your door 💚 So I totally understand! Mahalo for watching 🤙🏽
@@rosebowen8924 Aloha Rose! I just got back a couple weeks ago from the mainland so I’m trying to catch up on my comments. I’m sorry to hear about the hurricane, were you there on vacation? I’ve never been to Jamaica but I’m sure it’s beautiful 😍
I've ordered from Akatsuka before, but I think Carmela will be the next orchid grower that I try from Hawaii. 17:11 I would have bought this one. It's kind of hard to find orange orchids and I gravitate towards them. Too many good choices there. It must be kind of stressful just choosing one or two.
@@Joe-nj3bb Aloha Joe! Yes that is a pretty one 😍 I believe I have a few orange cattleyas in my collection. Carmela’s is definitely worth ordering from, they have amazing deals on their website 😊 We do have a lot of great nurseries on the Big Island but most are wholesale only. There’s a way to purchase orchids from some of these other vendors from a nursery on Maui called the Maui Orchid Whisperer. I believe they only sell on Facebook. As soon as I get more information about them, I’ll be sharing it with everyone in a future video. Mahalo for watching 🤙🏽
@@epenesajennings4725 Aloha! I know how that feels 😂 Whenever I watch orchid videos of nurseries and shows, I wish I could be right there seeing all of the beautiful orchids in person 😍
@@yingzheng782 Aloha! That cattleya was absolutely gorgeous but it didn’t have a tag, I’m sorry. It was actually over grown and attached to the table. I ended up with a division of it 💕
@@innerpeacecalm369 Aloha! I think most of the ones we showed are larger size but I’ll keep that in mind for future videos. I know not everyone has the space for those big ones. Mahalo for watching 🤙🏽
