Hi Everyone, it's Annabel, welcome back to my channel!
Today we are looking at part 1 of my orchids in bloom for April, which is focusing on the summer blooming phalaenopsis group! I decided to split the Orchids in Bloom up into more than one video for this month, since it would have been too much all in one go. I hope this format is OK- let me know your thoughts! I apologize for mic issues, think this mic is on the way out :-(
Orchids in this video (fragrance):
Phal violacea alba (cinnamon)
Phal violacea coerulea 'Krull-Smith' (cinnamon)
Phal bellina 'red apple' (floral/ citrusy from memory)
Phal Samera (bellina x violacea) (floral cinnamom)
Phal Yaphon sensation (Strong hyacinths!!! )
Phal gigabell (gigantea x bellina)
Phal KS happy eagle x princess kaiulani (maybe KS happy eagle x tetraspis)
Phal cochlearis
Phal deliciosa var hookeriana
Phal Shinger Pure Love (Cinnamon sugar)
Part 2- • Orchids in Bloom & Spi...
Part 3- • Orchids in Bloom April...
Hope you enjoy the video! Background Info + Links below!
