  • Come with me on my 2 day visit at Apopka, Florida where they have some of the most impressive nurseries. Apopka is known for their variety of plant and orchid nurseries. I take you to 2 orchid shows being held as Krull- Smith Orchids and Orchids In Bloom. You will not believe what they have in their nurseries. If you love orchids, Alocasia and Hoyas, this is definitely for you. Stay to the end for a bonuses feature of my good friend Jeff’s orchid collection in Tampa. #orchids #plants #nature #plantnerd #blooms #flowers #orchidshow #krullsmithirchids #orchidsinbloom

      Lol!!! That’s really funny. I leave the B word behind all the time. Lol😂. I will let Jeff know. He takes pride in his patio. He started collecting orchids here and there. But now with me he’s says he finds himself buying a plant or orchid every time he comes to visit me or when I visit him. He left Krull-Smith with like 5 orchids. He said he was just going along for the experience. He was not interested in shopping. That didn’t happen. And then he got like 3 more orchids at Orchids in Bloom.

When I get to Miami agen it's going to be a show down because I might go broke. I have one of those bread trays aswel i wonder what should I put on it. When you got inside the nursery I almost cried from joy thank you so much again

      Awe! Thank you Delando. I had an amazing time recording these videos over the weekend. To hear that they brought excitement and joy makes me very happy. Encouraging words to keep me going on this channel. Try to stick to a budget. I always do a budget. I never stick to it 100%, but it does help me put the breaks a bit. Lol! I would probably do dendrobium anosmum on the bread trays. They hang down and it’s perfect if you hanging the try up in a cable. 💚🍃

There was a murder involving owners and former partners, needless to say it's now owned and operated by Chico State University here for other Ag purposes.

    Jeff's yard is beautiful, such a great way to display orchids when you have fewer trees. If you want to see some cool specimen orchids, Orchids for the People has a couple of youtube videos about their Encyclia polybulbon and white-flowered Schomburgkia that are really cool. I've been to that nursery twice and I love it. Definitely an upside to living up in Northern CA for grad school. Philodendron Pink Princess has come down in price a little bit, but still quite a pricey plant. I'm not as into climbing Philodendrons because I know I don't want the upkeep of moss poles or planks, although that one can produce some gorgeous leaves. I appreciate seeing how you've planted some popular houseplants outside where they can grow to their true potential.

      Hey Erin. I’ll check out Orchids for the People on RUclips. The pink princess will be mine someday and I will release it in my garden to grow to its fullest.
