+SHARON SHORT I sure was!
Wow! What a place. Great haul Rachel
+Garrett Spring Thanks, Garrett.
I love your orchid collection . A big helo from México 😊😊😊😊😊
+Oscar Posada Hello there to you in Mexico. I would love to visit one day :)
What fun and oh my some of those orchids were, I would have gone crazy over them. Thank you Rachael for sharing your experiences.
+Sunah Yun Thank you for joining me :)
Another great nursery, and yippee...... you brought home some orchids. Thanks for taking us with you.
Yes, I bought just a few :)
Hi Rachel, thank you for sharing your joy with us, really liked it!
I think Dend. Pierrardi will do just fine for you. I can totally agree with you for buying it. One day I just found a picture about it, a speciement size in flower and fall in love with it immediately. So I went and ordered it from my local nursiery, luckily they got some, 2 pc for starters thinking if I want that show from the picture, I better buy two, so I don't have to wait that long.
Mines are mounted, arrived at the end of November, and since some canes were still growing, I just kept them with the other orchids in warm conditions and sprayed them quite irregularly, I did not fuss with them much. Some weeks later I noticed at the opposite side of the base of the leaves a few bumps, some were double bumps which were growing quite fast considering we are talking about orchids. But many leaves were still on so I just could not understand it. I did not dare to move it to a colder place, just left it there.
And it flowered for me very nicely. I can not take credit for it, it is the nursery's, but was very pleased with it regardless.
Yours is at least the double of mine's size, so I hope you will have a nice show!
I plan on potting them in a big clay pot, because mounted orchids on pressed cork slabs do not well for me and because as I saw in many pictures, the biggest ones were all potted. What kind of potting media do you have in yours? They have such fine, slim roots, pure bark may not be good enough for them.
The last two flowers just dropped today but it had started to grow new canes already.
My only complain is the flowers do not last that long, 2-2,5 weeks, and I did not smell fragrance. But maybe in this year....
Have a nice time with your new babies, and thanks again for sharing!
Bye, Maria
+Agars & Orchids That is all very encouraging news and I thank you for it. I have not had much success with the type of dendrobium that takes a winter rest (except for nobile hybrids) so I would be pleased if this one were an easy one. I too have seen those magnificent photos on the internet and they make me dream :)
Orchid paradise indeed ! Thank you for sharing !!
+KONSTANTINA CHATZINIKOLAOU Thank you for watching.
wow beautiful orchids
I love the giant vine at .40 - how cool was that! Now to find out what it was. Thanks for taking us with you Rachel.
+Burr Nelson I am not exactly sure where in the video you saw the vine but there was an enormous Thunbergia mysorensis there. Thanks for watching :)
+Gardening at Douentza It was right after the stairway wrapped around a column!
+Burr Nelson It does look cool but I can't tell what it is.
really great haul and wonderful green house. love to see your miltonias in bloom. thank you for sharing.
+Orchid Galaxy Thank you :)
All those orchids...WOW! amazing place to visit :) you got such a great deal there! congratulations!
+Ana Maria Thank you, Ana Maria. It was a wonderful place.
Oh my... Rachel... this video brought sunshine in my cloudy Pisan day!!!
Amazing greenhouses, wonderful plant... indeed, a paradise :)
What hit me was the "5 orchids plants, 25 euros" sign... I died.
Fantastic haul, very interesting plant... the Coelogyne for sure! ;)
Thanks for sharing!!!
+Orchidaholic I know! It was an amazing deal. Other prices were normal but that was an excellent deal :)
great finds Rachel, I have Gongora galeata in my collection they are beautiful summer bloomers that require very little light to thrive
+Darcy Durinn That is interesting about the light for Gongora galeata. Thank you for sharing :)
Thats an INCREDIBLE Orchid nursery, and I LOVE all your gorgeous new beauties :-) It must have been absolutely amazing to visit there with all that fantastic choice of all those gorgeous Orchids, wow :-) Thanks so much for sharing your incredible visit there and your new beautiful Orchids and sending heaps of love and tons of happiness from Waterford to Wexford for a FANTASTIC Friday XXXXXXX
+Desert Plants of Avalon It was amazing and I had a fantastic time. Thank you for your great comments and have a great day!
Great video 👍we enjoyed it.
such a beautiful plant!!! love it!! I start to collect cattleya orchid hybrid n species. Such an inspiration to me!! love it!!!
Happy growing!
It must have been WONDERFUL to visit that place! In this video we could see a lot of very interesting and unusual blooms, and it's amazing how many orchids they have blooming at the same time! This week I got this year's first issue of our society's magazine, and there was an article about this same orchid nursery in Madeira, and he too mentioned this awesome deal (5 orchids for 25 euros). You got some amazing plants! I can't wait to see them in bloom. What an orchid paradise! :) Have a great weekend, Rachel!
+Orchids & a Dutchy Thank you, Andrea. Yes, I had a wonderful time and highly recommend this nursery. What a coincidence about the feature in your society's magazine!
Yaaaay new orchids! :D don't worry about the pierardii, he does better than any other deciduous I have, blooms no matter what, even without a proper rest. Flowers are translucent and just so pretty :) very faint smell but pretty nonetheless ;)
+MissOrchidGirl I have been watching your pierardii with interest. Mine was in full leaf when I bought it but it had lost some by the time I made this video. Now it has fewer. I hope it will flower but no bumps yet :/
+Gardening at Douentza it's just acclimated to a different climate, it will go into his own rythm but I think you have great chances for some blooms this year as well ;)
Great place!
+Михаил Дёмин Thank you for coming with me :)
Wonderful place to have gone and any orchid lover would find plenty to select from. Right now I'm pretty estatic with Miltoniopsis, paps, cyms, oncidiums, nelly Isler, cologyene and billarias which are in flower and still have not picked up my new camcorder to even begin to learn how to make videos so must get busy. Have a large box of air plants and bromeliads due to arrive tomorrow. (excuse any wrong spelling)
+Jackie Binkley Sounds like your plants are making you happy, Jackie, that is the main thing. Thank you for watching and commenting.
💕💕💕very beauty💕💕💕
Thank you :)
CHE MERAVIGLIA
+Giovanni Orchids Killer Paradiso :)
rachel , i have also a great gongora galeata so its great , i have to flowering start of my gongora
Yes, I saw your pictures. Happy flowering :)
Hi ! Thank you very much for sharing this video ! That my next destination for sure :) Need to deal with the customs guys here in Switzerland for importing my plants I will be buying ;)
Thanks again and take care ! :)
+Aydhan Ha Ah, we all have our challenges. Thank you for watching :)
Rather than bringing some plants home, I think I would like to just 'move in' and live there with all the orchids . I would look after them for free (well some food now and again perhaps). And a good haul. What a coincidence - as you went though your purchases I recognised the miltonia - one of 3 that I bought from ebay in Portugal. And hey, that was the place - small world.
+Roger Frampton Was it the Golden one or Queen Ann. Yes, small world :)
+Gardening at Douentza Actually BOTH - the M. 'Gooddale Moir' "Golden Wonder" and M. 'Queen Ann' and the 3rd was M. castanea which is a hybrid between M. clowesii and M. regnellii (which can occur in the wild apparently). The only other Miltonia I've got is the one doing the rounds from a mass production - M. Sunset. These are all quite new for me so I'll have to see how they progress as time goes on. I want to do more vids but the builders next door are making so much noise. Maybe they'll take a day off as it's Saturday tomorrow.
+Roger Frampton Yeah, I should have bought that miltonia too.
Here's hoping the builders take a break. I love your videos.
+Gardening at Douentza It's quite difficult to find a 'style' when you start so I thought - blow it - just be 'me'. I will get one done tomorrow even if I have to scrap the sound-track and record one separately and merge them together. Who knows, I might even be brave and be 'in' one.
+Roger Frampton Be brave! Be in one. Too many channels are camera shy :)
Have just bought some orchids from them, on eBay, I have in the past and the quality was excellent
Glad to hear this and I hope you are not disappointed this time.
That is crazy! Wait 5 years for permission to restore your bldg. What do they think you do with all your stock for 5 years.
Wow how many orchids can you grow in one place...great place to shop.
Ohh..such a nice greenhouse!! And what about the fragrance there?? It must be amazing... :) Nice video!
+Jana Vondráčková The fragrance was amazing. All the scented plants had a coloured stick so you could go and sniff them.
This must have been a combi Disneyland-Fairyland-Nirvana for you! ;)
+Ella Wagemakers A completely apt description. Thank you, Ella :)
Oo Heaven is a Place on Earth...and it's an orchid nursery! :)
Ah, that D. at 1:23. Sigh. And 4:19--any idea what that is?
You got some amazing plants, and what a steal! 5 euro! I mean, Gongoras are at least 25 bucks in the US. that alone is worth the entire trip :) Well done on your dendrobiums, they are lovely. Dani has one of the aphyllum I believe. I fully support your obsession.
+annaisgrowing Thank you, Anna, for watching and so fully supporting my obsession. lol.
I'm afraid I can't help with id.'s The first orchid is obviously a latouria type dendrobium and the second looks like some type of epidendrum. I was completely in love with it but they had none for sale. So sad.
that is sad. your advice at the end of the video was really good advice. Seeing all those plants and finding out there are not for sale is such a tease!!! grrrr!
+annaisgrowing Anna, I think that second one is Epidendrum marmoratum
예쁘다...^^♡♡♡♡
So Rachel, how did you bring all those plants back to Ireland without damaging them? Did they travel in your hand luggage or did they have to go in the hold? I'm curious because I've only ever brought back bulbs or seeds when travelling abroad. Thanks :)
I think my bag went in the hold for part of the journey anyway but the plants came home okay. All fun and games!
Hi, so you bought an A. veitchii!!! I have mine in full bloom now, and its flowers are big and have a scent which is close to hyacinths one, but not as strong and it's only realeased at night, as you would expect with any Angraecum. Also, I have discovered that it's more intense at sunset, but I like it more at night, because it's a bit more floral then. :)
+حبيب المصطفى It sounds wonderful. It will be a few years before mine reaches that size though.
Mmm, if I was you, I would buy a big size Veitchii, I'm so impatient. And wait, because this is what I actually did myself. I had a little veitchii, and then I saw a big orchid and I told myself: you won't pass this oportunity, will you? hhh
+حبيب المصطفى Good advice but I didn't have the opportunity to buy a big one. I do have a large Angraecum Crestwood though so hopefully it will flower soon.
Well, on ebay I have seen decent size plants, but they are expensive. hhh It's a pity. But yeah, your A. Crestwood should flower pretty soon. :) Good luck with it, and hope you'll present us gorgeous flowers from it. :)
Hi my name is Tatyana, I love your orchids so much and I collect them, I’m interested with the orchid liodoroi I want to buy her because she smells good. If you’re selling them, how much would they cost?
I don't sell orchids. You should contact Boa Vista. I think their ebay address is in the video somewhere.
Coelogyne is massive...congrats!
:)
Wow! How did you get those plants back to Europe?
Madeira belongs to Portugal so is technically part of Europe. So I had no trouble at all.
With shipping or in your bag?
Greetings, Chelsea
Bag

bom dia gostei das platas da irlanda eu trabalho com plantas aqui no brasil gostaria muitode mostra as arte de jardinagem
Very good. Thank you for watching.
Hello
It is confusing for me to grow orchid especially the media to use as a potting mixes
Orchids can be a bit confusing in the beginning. Generally speaking they need orchid bark as most are epiphytic plants that grow on trees in nature so they need lots of air at their roots. We only keep them in pots in our houses because we don't have trees to hang them on. Good luck with your growing and if you have any more specific question, please let me know!
Gardening at Douentza thank you very much , I had tree around my house , mango and longan trees so I am going to stick at that trees later on
Well it sounds like you have a great environment for growing orchids.
Gardening at Douentza yes indeed , I am Malaysian , hot and dry weather or if raining it will heavy rain and wet
Direcção?
What?
wonderful

+mohannad al madanie The only type of nursery I found in Madeira was orchid. And the market. Thank you for watching.
