Everything is coming back so nicely. Funny how we share re s same blooms. The Cattleya from Pam “paradise” is gorgeous. I’m so glad we each got one. She didn’t have many and the flower is just breathtaking with the most incredible fragrance. I wish I would have taken a picture of you on a latter wiffing. the vanilla. Lol!
Yep was worried again with you climbing that ladder and dragging it with one hand💪. The vanilla flower is so pretty, but I lost it when you said , it’s smells a little like toothpaste😂😂. The nobiles are very pretty, I’ll have to try my hand with those. Husband was walking by when he heard you, it’s Blanca. That’s for the walk around, enjoy Disney if you go. 💖💖💖💖
The pink Mokara’s have more moss around the stem than the purple. I would remove some from the stem. Everything looks wonderful. I just got the phal that you got brought her home and every last bud died over night. I was so sad and mad as well. It’s the one that came in your box. The vanilla is beautiful! The whole time you were climbing that ladder I was yelling don’t you’re out there alone. Please make sure someone is with you!
I have laughed so much on the part when you smell the vanilla 😂. Just thinking how it looks from your neighbors side. Great determination and as always your garden is amazing. The sun loving vandas could get burnt if not acclimated. It happened to me. Try to keep them moist until they take off and perhaps a bit more moss would help give them shade.
The garden looks amazingggg! Take the pollinia out of the vanilla and stick it in the freezer until you have time/another flower opens! Works like a charm :) Could the Mokaras have needed more water now that they are in the elements? Maybe they’ll start to bounce back since it rained a lot!!!
Boa tarde Branca!! Tenho Mokaras no meu jardim e onde elas estão melhores, lindas mesmo, é em canteiros no chão no pé dos coqueiros,onde coloquei areia e casca de pinus por cima e fixei elas com estacas de madeira. Por conta da umidade que fica retida na areia elas ficam lindas e robustas.
They say that if you get orchids from asia, you need to give them plenty of cal mag because they tend to show yellow leaves from lack of magnesium when they get state side. So maybe give a little cal mag love to your Mokaras and see what happens.
