Hi Nina! Love the name on your new Phal. Ninjiraffe and the name suggested by Michael McCarthy for it as you said. Great choice and enjoy your new acquisition! 🥰 IVP
Hi 😍😍💐 so good to see you here with your channel name 👍🏼👍🏼 Isn't the name just inspired? Michael has totally nailed it 👍🏼 I am loving this cheerful yellow so so much! Every morning, just a little more of a look see and today she was finally dry enough to get some CalMag 👍🏼 My goodness... she is so cute 😆 thank you so much for watching 🫶🏼❤️🌸
🦒😘💐 She's a beauty and I am glad there were more than one for you to choose from.Thanks to Michael and Sharon for making you happy. Ningiraffe is a spot on name, too💖💖😍🥰
FFF 😍🙌🏼🤸🏼♀️🥰💐 good evening, meine liebe Freundin! I am so glad that I had a choice as well, but sometimes it makes things a leeetttle more complicated 😅 This was special. It took some fandangling with cameras, mics and well, standing in the space while there are customers around, but ... it was fun and I am glad it turned out ok. I had one take.... it had to be right the first time 😆 phew! The name is inspired, yes! 👍🏼 We have the pale version, this cheerful bright version and if I can ever get Ninja Yellow to bloom 😬 then we have the pale unspotted version. For only have one true yellow phal in my collection, I now have THREE 🥳🎉🤸🏼♀️ thank you so much for watching, amiga mia! I hope that your Sunday was beautiful and I wish you a relaxing evening 🫶🏼❤️🌸
I love that phalaeonpsis 😊🙏💖What a beautiful combination of white and yellow. Yes, I've almost killeda phalaeonpsis, and it's still recovering and has good roots now and even buds🥰🙌I enjoyed watching😊🌟
Hi 😍💐 She is such a happy color, much needed in my collection. So grateful to have been given this opportunity, so now the pressure is on to make sure that she is going to grow well 👍🏼 I have decimated many phals when I could not get the leca and self watering set up right back in 2017-2020... of course, most of them were gifts, which is even more annoying. But, now I have it down and I have not lost a complex hybrid phal for a very long time. So, I won't jinxs it with this one 🤞🏼 thank you so much for watching, and your feedback! I appreciate it very much and hope that you are having a great day 🫶🏼❤️🌸
HI Sheila 😍💐 goodness me, yes! Wow! 🙌🏼 I declined the offer because I felt it was such an extravagance during these times, and it really is the thought that counts... but, in a polite way, I pretty much was 'ganged' up on.

Hi there 😍💐 its good to see you again! I hope that you are doing well 🫶🏼 a quick trip to the garden centre again!

Hi 🤩💐 welcome! I have not seen you here before, so a warm warm welcome and thank you so much for being here, for watching and for commenting! I so appreciate it 🫶🏼 did you read the other comments? I am asking, because if your pot did not come with a name for the orchid, the comments at least gave an idea of the trade name, if you are interested in 'that kind of detail' 😃 According to popular opinion and me checking on the interwebs, based on the lead that I got as to where to look, this orchid has a trade name 'Anthura Arezzo' ... unless, your's came with a label, and then I would be super interested to know what your's or your daughter's 😉 is identified as! She is the most cheerful color that I have in my phal collection atm. I am still mourning another NoID orchid that was pink and yellow, and somewhat of a small growing one... I lost her because I did not recognize that scale had attacked her stem... she was a darling! But this one? Brightens my morning rounds 👍🏼 thank you so much for watching!! I hope you had a fabulous day and once again, welcome 🫶🏼❤️🌸
@@NinjaOrchids Thanks so much for the information! The orchid I purchased did not come with a tag so that is helpful ☺️. I appreciate you and your channel very much! I am a relatively new grower and I love growing many different kinds of orchids.

GT and the smell of that cute little mini phal 😆 that tiny thing, on the doorstep! Someone knew what they were doing, but didn't know what they were doing either! 'you don't just leave an orchid at someone's door step!!!' 😂😂 I am being picky, but ... maybe one day someone will let me know who dunnit! I can hardly believe the past 24 hrs 🥹🙏🏼
Hi P C 😍💐 thank you so much for letting me know that you enjoyed the drive there and back! And... well, filming in the open space with the general public, that was novel! 🤪 we did it though! And we gots ourself one heck of a cutie 🥰🥰 hope you had a wonderful day, P C and thank you for watching 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Ingrid, hi lovely lady 😍💐 thank YOU so much for watching and a very Happy Mother's Day to you too 🫶🏼 how kind of you taking time out of your day to watch the video, I so appreciate it ❤️🌸
I am so happy that you were able to go back and that she was still there and that there was more than one so you could choose the one that you thought was best. I see from the label that is produced by Anthura and it says Vivero. I don't see that name listed in their most recent catalog (because they generally use city names and Vivero isn't a city that I am aware of, it means garden, no?) but it is remarkably similar to Arezzo soooo, I'm going with the trade name is Arezzo but she shall forever be known as Ningiraffe here. She is beautiful, a little ray of sunshine to brighten the patio. A little unplanned work but that always happens. 🤸🤸♂🤸♀
Don Miguel 🥰💐 hola jefe! Oh! My! Goodness! The pressure of such a wonderful gift, is ON 😅 thank you, again, so so much for making it possible. I cannot tell you how relieved I am that at least one was still there, but to have the option of all 3 of them, that was special. Standing in the space with my kit and kaboodle certainly was interesting, but I doubt I am going to live stream there. It would be nice to walk around with the camera on a live stream but, there is a lot of activity and I want to be mindful of people's privacy while they enjoy the spaces, their shopping experience. Vivero means nursery. Jardin is garden. BUT, your Anthura observation took me down a searching rabbit hole of Anthura phals, and they are for the most part, cities! So interesting. Anyway, the page that I look them up on had terrible pale images. No brightness in their colors, so I took some screen shots and tried to blow the images up to see about the spotting. And yes, the Arezzo is close, but if you are able to check the Anthura Gold, it may be the one because the color just stands out and maybe that is why it is called gold? It also has spotting! However, with all the colors they have, goodness me... get the light right and get some high res images uploaded, because why go to all the trouble of cultivating all that, and then show case washed out colors 🤷🏼♀️ que raro! BUT, here is the kicker... we know her real name, Ningiraffe and that is all we really need to know 😉 inspired name, for real! No doubt 👍🏼 so happy to have this incredible bright yellow to say good morning to this morning. What a charming little one! Once again, thank you for everything 🫶🏼 and thank you for joining in on the stream this afternoon! So appreciate that 😘 have yourself a fabulous rest of your day ❤️🫶🏼🌸
@@NinjaOrchids it is very much my pleasure to bring it to your patio for myself and others to see. I did a lot of searching and I'm fairly certain it is Arezzo, the yellow with the white center, the spots, the bronzy lip. I'd be very surprised if it wasn't one of their current releases, and Arezzo is the only one that matches. On my end, the colors in the Anthura catalog are quite good. If you look at Arezzo on the Wichmann site the yellow is very pale, but the Anthura catalog shows that warm buttery yellow. From the main Anthura page (anthura.nl) you can click on products and sort by color on the left by yellow, then click on Arezzo so you can see it in zoom.
@@michaelmccarthy4077 nailed it!! Once again 🙌🏼💯 I did not get the Anthura NL web page when I searched Google. Not even the Wichmann but, it doesn't matter now 🥰 updated my notes ❤❤
🌸🥷🏼Bob San 😍🙌🏼🤸🏼♀️🥰💐 hi! She was a wonderful treat to have around, until she came down with stem rot. In hindsight, I was root greedy and should have gone for the one with lesser roots, but with an actively growing new leaf. I know better, but at the time I was not focussed on what I know as I was filming in a public place and lost my personal train of thought 😬 so the subsequent videos update this selection process and make the correction to always go with the one that shows active growth, even if there are less roots in the pot. I appreciate you watching, thank you so much 🙏🏼 wishing you the best start to the new week possible 🫶🏼❤️🌸
HI Wanda 😍💐 thank you for confirming No. 3 would have been your go to as well. When I am spoiled for choice, I can get myself into a real tizz 🤪 never mind filming in a public place and making sure that the one take I had was not going to be a big mess 😆 So happy to have this cutie and the coffee this morning tasted somehow different when I went to check out her blooms. Cannot express my gratitude adequately, but yes, I am truly grateful and appreciative of this kindness! And I appreciate you for watching, as well as leaving a comment under this video, thank you 🙏🏼 I hope you had a wonderful day, lovely lady 🫶🏼❤️🌸
BeBe, hi 😍💐 wasn't it just? 🙏🏼🥳 I almost choked up when I was driving to the garden centre, and had to quickly compose myself so that I could film in the premises without going all soppy 😂 She is so pretty, and the coffee this morning was extra tasty in a cheerful way! Thank you so much for watching, BeBe! I hope that your day is going beautifully for you 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Hallööchen Anna 😍💐 danke!! Ebenfalls, ich hoffe du hattest einen schönen Muttertag 🫶🏼 ich habe Eurovision total vergessen! Der Mai kommt so schnell, und ich verliere die Zeit. I honestly have a good giggle when watching Eurovision 😅 it can be quite entertaining. I also used to watch the German qualification show, and... always good for an awkward giggle 😂 I hope that you enjoyed the show!! Thank you so so much for watching and for your kind comment 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Hi Arlene 😍💐 a very Happy Mother's Day to you too, lovely lady! Thank you so much for taking time on this day to watch the video and for coming into the live stream to say hi 🫶🏼🫶🏼 When a stream ends, I put the whole thing to private while it processes into HD quality. If I leave it up while it processes, the quality reduces for the remainder of the watch time, and I don't think that is a great viewer experience seeing things pixalated while the processing happens at the same time as watching the rest of the live. I learned that after the first couple of live streams, so, to keep the replay quality high, I put the stream on private, and then once the processing has finished it will go public, which ... even without anyone watching it, can take 8 hrs. Longer if the stream remains up 🐌 I will post the live stream as soon as processing is complete! So good to see you today, Arlene, once again, thank you 🫶🏼 and happy rest of your Mother's Day ❤️🌸
Olá Fátima 😍💐 muito obrigado pelo seu feedback sobre a forma como estruturei este vídeo, agradeço muito por isso 🫶🏼 e muito obrigado por se juntar a mim no centro de jardinagem pela segunda vez 😆 Espero que tenha tido um maravilhoso Domingo, moça linda 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Fantástico, Fátima! Fico feliz em saber que você teve um Dia das Mães especial! Isso aquece meu coração e bem, um dia atrasado... Feliz Dia das Mães, ... mas fico tão feliz em saber que realmente foi um 🫶🏼
Hi Mona 😍💐 Happy Sunday to you, lovely lady! I hope that your day is going beautifully for you 🫶🏼 thank you so much for watching this video, truly appreciate you. If I may, I am going to make a single correction with regards to how I picked the orchid I did in this video. I went for the orchid with the most roots, but was leaning to the one that was in active growth, with a new leaf starting. I would like to update you that, if in doubt, always pick the one in active growth! This way, you know there is nothing wrong with the stem. Even if an orchid has a lesser root system, if there is one in active growth, that is the right one to pick. I lost the one I picked because I did not see stem rot at the base and have kicked myself ever since. I should have gone with my instinct, when I mentioned that 'this one is growing a leaf'... I chose more roots and no active growth, and it was the wrong choice. Just to let you know 🫶🏼 active growth is a huge factor when picking phals 👍🏼❤️🌸
Congratulations on your new baby, Ninjaraffe or Ningiraffe (?) She is a beauty! I drive like you when I am bringing a new one home. Should we get one of those signs for our car windows: Baby on Board---or make a new one: Orchid on Board ! :D It is fun watching as you drive around- all the beautiful scenery! Thank you for the joyful video! :)
HI Leslie 😍💐 as it was written Ningiraffe by Michael in the comments, I adopted the name as it was, but... the way you wrote it out, that was my exact incling as well. While I was tempted to adapt the name, I thought it would not be fair seeing as I was gifted this orchid and in honor of that, I will stick with the name as it was written. I was so so happy to get this orchid, over the moon excited... in a couple of days at my home she developed crown rot, molded and now is a shadow of herself. The rescue mission is in full swing, but, seeing as I do not have the right climate long enough, I doubt very much that I will get something to grow from her stem before the winter comes. So, I am so sorry to write this update in the comments, because yes, this video was so much fun for so many reasons! 🥹 I am trying to stay positive that she will grow a side plant, but ... well 😣 thank you so much for watching, Leslie! I appreciate your feedback and support. Hope you had a wonderful Friday 🫶🏼❤️🌸
@@NinjaOrchids I am very sorry to hear about Ningiraffe. But, as I have grown older, I now take the attitude, "Never give up, and always expect miracles!" Ta da! :D Have a smashing day! :) PS She's not dead, so BELIEVE that she is ALREADY healed. Good luck!
Hi Jose 😍💐 it is so good to see you!

HI Vene 😍💐 yes... I got my numbers all mixed up, even while in the store! The different surroundings and extra concentration, my dyslexia kicked in. I only had one take, so when I got the the patio... I had already completely lost the plot for many reasons! The experience, filming elsewhere etc, then getting this cutie 🤪🥊 I tried correcting my number mish mash with the right numbers over the commentary while editing. I even confused myself when I sat down to edit 😆🤦🏼♀️ Number 3 it is! That is the one that made it to The Patio! Thank you for watching 🫶🏼 I hope you had a wonderful day, Vene ❤️🌸
Hi Hermand 😃💐 welcome! I have not seen you here before, so a warm warm welcome and a massive thank you for being here, for watching! I appreciate your time and comment very much 🫶🏼 hope you had a wonderful day and look forward to seeing you again soon ❤️🌸
Hola Director! 😍💐 I saw 2 comments from you and now I only see this one. The gremlins are still out in force, unless I am mistaken and you only wrote this one! Thought I would quickly let you know that I am watching things closely to see if there are any changes with how YT is erasing or not erasing comments! Thank you so much for trying, for not giving up and for watching this video, amigo mio 🫶🏼 I was wondering if google did not like the fact that we are conversing in Spanish sometimes. But, that doesn't make sense, because I have had other viewers who comment in English, also have their comments erased ... all in English. 😶 Understanding YT / Google goes beyond my education... I just don't get it! I hope that you are having a wonderful day, though, Jose! That your Sunday is fun filled and relaxed filled at the same time 🫶🏼❤️🌸

@@NinjaOrchids AWESOME!!! 🤸🤸🍀
That was fun. I enjoyed that little trip with you. Great gift! I love it.
Hi P C 😍💐 thank you so much for letting me know that you enjoyed the drive there and back! And... well, filming in the open space with the general public, that was novel! 🤪 we did it though! And we gots ourself one heck of a cutie 🥰🥰 hope you had a wonderful day, P C and thank you for watching 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Thank you for sharing, have a great and save Mothers Day!!!
Ingrid, hi lovely lady 😍💐 thank YOU so much for watching and a very Happy Mother's Day to you too 🫶🏼 how kind of you taking time out of your day to watch the video, I so appreciate it ❤️🌸
I am so happy that you were able to go back and that she was still there and that there was more than one so you could choose the one that you thought was best. I see from the label that is produced by Anthura and it says Vivero. I don't see that name listed in their most recent catalog (because they generally use city names and Vivero isn't a city that I am aware of, it means garden, no?) but it is remarkably similar to Arezzo soooo, I'm going with the trade name is Arezzo but she shall forever be known as Ningiraffe here. She is beautiful, a little ray of sunshine to brighten the patio. A little unplanned work but that always happens. 🤸🤸♂🤸♀
Don Miguel 🥰💐 hola jefe! Oh! My! Goodness! The pressure of such a wonderful gift, is ON 😅 thank you, again, so so much for making it possible. I cannot tell you how relieved I am that at least one was still there, but to have the option of all 3 of them, that was special. Standing in the space with my kit and kaboodle certainly was interesting, but I doubt I am going to live stream there. It would be nice to walk around with the camera on a live stream but, there is a lot of activity and I want to be mindful of people's privacy while they enjoy the spaces, their shopping experience. Vivero means nursery. Jardin is garden. BUT, your Anthura observation took me down a searching rabbit hole of Anthura phals, and they are for the most part, cities! So interesting. Anyway, the page that I look them up on had terrible pale images. No brightness in their colors, so I took some screen shots and tried to blow the images up to see about the spotting. And yes, the Arezzo is close, but if you are able to check the Anthura Gold, it may be the one because the color just stands out and maybe that is why it is called gold? It also has spotting! However, with all the colors they have, goodness me... get the light right and get some high res images uploaded, because why go to all the trouble of cultivating all that, and then show case washed out colors 🤷🏼♀️ que raro! BUT, here is the kicker... we know her real name, Ningiraffe and that is all we really need to know 😉 inspired name, for real! No doubt 👍🏼 so happy to have this incredible bright yellow to say good morning to this morning. What a charming little one! Once again, thank you for everything 🫶🏼 and thank you for joining in on the stream this afternoon! So appreciate that 😘 have yourself a fabulous rest of your day ❤️🫶🏼🌸
@@NinjaOrchids it is very much my pleasure to bring it to your patio for myself and others to see. I did a lot of searching and I'm fairly certain it is Arezzo, the yellow with the white center, the spots, the bronzy lip. I'd be very surprised if it wasn't one of their current releases, and Arezzo is the only one that matches. On my end, the colors in the Anthura catalog are quite good. If you look at Arezzo on the Wichmann site the yellow is very pale, but the Anthura catalog shows that warm buttery yellow. From the main Anthura page (anthura.nl) you can click on products and sort by color on the left by yellow, then click on Arezzo so you can see it in zoom.
@@michaelmccarthy4077 nailed it!! Once again 🙌🏼💯 I did not get the Anthura NL web page when I searched Google. Not even the Wichmann but, it doesn't matter now 🥰 updated my notes ❤❤
HiMichael. Just wanted to let you know I think that was very nice of you to help Nina get that yellow Phalaenopsis. 🥰🤗👍
🥰🫶🏼
Hi Nina. There's something very special about yellow flower Phals. Well done.😊
🌸🥷🏼Bob San 😍🙌🏼🤸🏼♀️🥰💐 hi! She was a wonderful treat to have around, until she came down with stem rot. In hindsight, I was root greedy and should have gone for the one with lesser roots, but with an actively growing new leaf. I know better, but at the time I was not focussed on what I know as I was filming in a public place and lost my personal train of thought 😬 so the subsequent videos update this selection process and make the correction to always go with the one that shows active growth, even if there are less roots in the pot. I appreciate you watching, thank you so much 🙏🏼 wishing you the best start to the new week possible 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Hello Nina. I'm so glad you chose #3. She's beautiful, and what a great root system. Such a thoughtful gesture, too. ❤
HI Wanda 😍💐 thank you for confirming No. 3 would have been your go to as well. When I am spoiled for choice, I can get myself into a real tizz 🤪 never mind filming in a public place and making sure that the one take I had was not going to be a big mess 😆 So happy to have this cutie and the coffee this morning tasted somehow different when I went to check out her blooms. Cannot express my gratitude adequately, but yes, I am truly grateful and appreciative of this kindness! And I appreciate you for watching, as well as leaving a comment under this video, thank you 🙏🏼 I hope you had a wonderful day, lovely lady 🫶🏼❤️🌸
What a wonderful gesture! There are truly good people out there who care about you! Enjoy your new baby and will look forward to its next video! 🎉
BeBe, hi 😍💐 wasn't it just? 🙏🏼🥳 I almost choked up when I was driving to the garden centre, and had to quickly compose myself so that I could film in the premises without going all soppy 😂 She is so pretty, and the coffee this morning was extra tasty in a cheerful way! Thank you so much for watching, BeBe! I hope that your day is going beautifully for you 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Hola, schönen Muttertag! Still awake as I watched the Eurovision Song Contest. Actually I don't like it but I can't resist. I'm so happy for you! ❤😘
Hallööchen Anna 😍💐 danke!! Ebenfalls, ich hoffe du hattest einen schönen Muttertag 🫶🏼 ich habe Eurovision total vergessen! Der Mai kommt so schnell, und ich verliere die Zeit. I honestly have a good giggle when watching Eurovision 😅 it can be quite entertaining. I also used to watch the German qualification show, and... always good for an awkward giggle 😂 I hope that you enjoyed the show!! Thank you so so much for watching and for your kind comment 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Nina, happy mother's day 🎉. I was watching the lycaste live, all of a sudden it said private and stopped
Hi Arlene 😍💐 a very Happy Mother's Day to you too, lovely lady! Thank you so much for taking time on this day to watch the video and for coming into the live stream to say hi 🫶🏼🫶🏼 When a stream ends, I put the whole thing to private while it processes into HD quality. If I leave it up while it processes, the quality reduces for the remainder of the watch time, and I don't think that is a great viewer experience seeing things pixalated while the processing happens at the same time as watching the rest of the live. I learned that after the first couple of live streams, so, to keep the replay quality high, I put the stream on private, and then once the processing has finished it will go public, which ... even without anyone watching it, can take 8 hrs. Longer if the stream remains up 🐌 I will post the live stream as soon as processing is complete! So good to see you today, Arlene, once again, thank you 🫶🏼 and happy rest of your Mother's Day ❤️🌸
Amei o video externo e a phalaenopsis, parabéns pela aquisição ❤❤❤
Olá Fátima 😍💐 muito obrigado pelo seu feedback sobre a forma como estruturei este vídeo, agradeço muito por isso 🫶🏼 e muito obrigado por se juntar a mim no centro de jardinagem pela segunda vez 😆 Espero que tenha tido um maravilhoso Domingo, moça linda 🫶🏼❤️🌸
@@NinjaOrchids sim, tive um domingo especial, aqui no Brasil, hoje comemoramos o dia das mães
Fantástico, Fátima! Fico feliz em saber que você teve um Dia das Mães especial! Isso aquece meu coração e bem, um dia atrasado... Feliz Dia das Mães, ... mas fico tão feliz em saber que realmente foi um 🫶🏼
THANK YOU 🌺🥰🌺🥰🌺🥰🌺
Hi Mona 😍💐 Happy Sunday to you, lovely lady! I hope that your day is going beautifully for you 🫶🏼 thank you so much for watching this video, truly appreciate you. If I may, I am going to make a single correction with regards to how I picked the orchid I did in this video. I went for the orchid with the most roots, but was leaning to the one that was in active growth, with a new leaf starting. I would like to update you that, if in doubt, always pick the one in active growth! This way, you know there is nothing wrong with the stem. Even if an orchid has a lesser root system, if there is one in active growth, that is the right one to pick. I lost the one I picked because I did not see stem rot at the base and have kicked myself ever since. I should have gone with my instinct, when I mentioned that 'this one is growing a leaf'... I chose more roots and no active growth, and it was the wrong choice. Just to let you know 🫶🏼 active growth is a huge factor when picking phals 👍🏼❤️🌸
@@NinjaOrchids Thank you ✅ as women we should always ! follow our instinct 😉
SO TRUE!!! 😆👍🏼
Congratulations on your new baby, Ninjaraffe or Ningiraffe (?) She is a beauty! I drive like you when I am bringing a new one home. Should we get one of those signs for our car windows: Baby on Board---or make a new one: Orchid on Board ! :D It is fun watching as you drive around- all the beautiful scenery! Thank you for the joyful video! :)
HI Leslie 😍💐 as it was written Ningiraffe by Michael in the comments, I adopted the name as it was, but... the way you wrote it out, that was my exact incling as well. While I was tempted to adapt the name, I thought it would not be fair seeing as I was gifted this orchid and in honor of that, I will stick with the name as it was written. I was so so happy to get this orchid, over the moon excited... in a couple of days at my home she developed crown rot, molded and now is a shadow of herself. The rescue mission is in full swing, but, seeing as I do not have the right climate long enough, I doubt very much that I will get something to grow from her stem before the winter comes. So, I am so sorry to write this update in the comments, because yes, this video was so much fun for so many reasons! 🥹 I am trying to stay positive that she will grow a side plant, but ... well 😣 thank you so much for watching, Leslie! I appreciate your feedback and support. Hope you had a wonderful Friday 🫶🏼❤️🌸
@@NinjaOrchids I am very sorry to hear about Ningiraffe. But, as I have grown older, I now take the attitude, "Never give up, and always expect miracles!" Ta da! :D Have a smashing day! :) PS She's not dead, so BELIEVE that she is ALREADY healed. Good luck!
Nice
Hi Jose 😍💐 it is so good to see you! Thank you so much for commenting, this gives me the opportunity to extend a warm warm welcome to you and a massive thank you for watching and supporting my channel and my endeavors! Know that you are appreciated, Jose! Hope you had a fabulous Wednesday and I wish you a wonderful Thursday 🫶🏼 thank you for watching and once again WELCOME 🙏🏼❤️🌸
I thought you got #3- root over active growth
HI Vene 😍💐 yes... I got my numbers all mixed up, even while in the store! The different surroundings and extra concentration, my dyslexia kicked in. I only had one take, so when I got the the patio... I had already completely lost the plot for many reasons! The experience, filming elsewhere etc, then getting this cutie 🤪🥊 I tried correcting my number mish mash with the right numbers over the commentary while editing. I even confused myself when I sat down to edit 😆🤦🏼♀️ Number 3 it is! That is the one that made it to The Patio! Thank you for watching 🫶🏼 I hope you had a wonderful day, Vene ❤️🌸
👍🥹
Hi Hermand 😃💐 welcome! I have not seen you here before, so a warm warm welcome and a massive thank you for being here, for watching! I appreciate your time and comment very much 🫶🏼 hope you had a wonderful day and look forward to seeing you again soon ❤️🌸
Hola
Hola Director! 😍💐 I saw 2 comments from you and now I only see this one. The gremlins are still out in force, unless I am mistaken and you only wrote this one! Thought I would quickly let you know that I am watching things closely to see if there are any changes with how YT is erasing or not erasing comments! Thank you so much for trying, for not giving up and for watching this video, amigo mio 🫶🏼 I was wondering if google did not like the fact that we are conversing in Spanish sometimes. But, that doesn't make sense, because I have had other viewers who comment in English, also have their comments erased ... all in English. 😶 Understanding YT / Google goes beyond my education... I just don't get it! I hope that you are having a wonderful day, though, Jose! That your Sunday is fun filled and relaxed filled at the same time 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Thank you Nina.Was commenting while travelling on a contract carriage.Great educative tour video.
