Hi everyone! It's Annabel, welcome back to my channel! Grab a coffee and come look at the orchids with me! Today we are going to take a walk around the orchid flowers, look at some of the orchids in bloom, where they live in the grow room or house locations. Pulling orchids down to talk about the prettiest is great, and gives better quality footage. But it means often skipping some ( I managed to skip a lot in this video anyway XD). I find it easier to talk about orchids in their growing locations sometimes, so I hope you enjoy this type of video! We update here on my Oncidopsis Nelly Islers, and some challenges I faced with them in the conservatory following the house move, and comparing the two grow rooms. We take a look at some blooming Phalaenopsis, Oncidium and Prosthechea. Also after a few requests, Sprite and Kiwi get some camera time so you can meet the birds!
