Kitchen light did indeed work for the colours, thanks for thinking of it, especially for that lovely big white one with the unusual yellow on the lip - not seen that before!

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

It's one of those 'eco' bulbs that has to warm up before it gives off it's full light so I have to remember to turn it on 5 mins before starting.

[@wilairat26atoady]

Nice look around and still some good blooms.

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

Hi, Roger! Lovely to see those blooms, thank you!
The garden is looking very nice. I need to visit your other channel!

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

I will be doing a 'look around' on the other channel soon.

[@marycamilleri447]

Enjoy your last years Christmas present, I use to many years ago enjoy archery, in fact it's how my parents met back in the late 40s and married, and we kind of took up archery too.

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

It's a great value course - £70 for two days and use of the equipment plus the coaching - 4 hours each day.

[@tess.campbell]

Delightful

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

Thanks.

[@devinsgewachshaus3263]

Hey Roger, Hannah's Phalaenopsis is definetly Phal. Venus (equestris x lindenii). The leaf pattern is clearly lindenii genes.

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

Venus has a much darker lip.

15:14 Congratulations on having the Hibiki bloom again. I think you were worried for a while.
16:17 First time for me to see a Zygo with such a nice combination of colors. I'm mostly familiar with the green and purple ones.

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

I think it's an intergeneric - Zygopetalum crossed with a Zygonisia?

[@mamabear9389]

Thanks for the tour! Always enjoyable.

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

You're welcome.

[@hildewilkens3772]

Glad to see some blooms and spikes - I don't have anything on this moment. Take care of youself, we are no 20 anymore 😀

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

If I didn't have the 8 mini-Phals, it wouldn't leave a lot.

[@beckyschlegel6777]

Maybe schillirena (sp?) - the mottled leaved phal.

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

Blooms are larger and the leaves are more banded rather than mottled.

[@YnseSchaap]

I think Brads Greenhouse isn't running any longer, he switched to carnivorous plants after a while. Haven't had a notification in years

[@hildewilkens3772]

I think his last video was like 2 years ago, i still lived in my other house.

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

I saw some vids after he moved house but not much after that.

[@YnseSchaap]

@@hildewilkens3772 Yep two years ago

[@YnseSchaap]

@@GrowingOrchidswithRoger Really strange, happens to more channels, Orchid dude suddenly disappeared so did Zane and many others over the years

[@jkovach128]

Maybe look into lindenii or celebensis for the phal in the start of the video, Hannah's orchid

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

Blooms are different.

[@jenniferbarnwell4747]

Roger, the mystery “equestris-like”/mottling of leaves Phal. I wonder if maybe it’s a Phal. Veitchiana?? Mine is small but has subtle mottling and blooms like that.
Please no more dashing!!
I Enjoy all your videos! Thanks for all you do.
Jennifer

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

You're welcome.

[@YnseSchaap]

You may want to check if the Disas can take sulfur fumes !

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

Too late - already done. (Didn't think of that)

[@YnseSchaap]

@@GrowingOrchidswithRoger 😁

[@YnseSchaap]

I have a store bought phal that made a terminal keikie after blooming, it's still growing so I'm expecting it to flower again. Maybe yours will do the same after it's done with flowers

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

It normally means the plant can't grow any more leaves from the crown so it produces a basal growth instead.

[@YnseSchaap]

@@GrowingOrchidswithRoger I think mine is growing three at the moment

[@DanielRobinson-v2l]

Great video Roger. Love seeing the blooms. Quick question if I may, I've had two store bought Phals and 4 of the Burnhams mini Phals for a while but looking to try something different. I'm a beginner so what would you suggest would the next best forgiving orchid?

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

A 'nobile' type Dendrobium - they need different care with the seasons but the modern hybrids are quite forgiving.

[@DanielRobinson-v2l]

@@GrowingOrchidswithRoger Thank you!
