Hey Tom, definitely! it took a couple months for me to really notice the scent, but now that it gets a little hot in the room with the sun, it really is strong...and very pleasant! you should get one!! or also keep an eye out if you see it labeled as Balgheri, please let us know :)
Hey!! Did you say Bronze Buddha?!? That orchid is responsible for my recent goal obsession!! Best scent ever in my opinion. If I come across another I’ll happily bring it home. lol. I like your videos! I’m a teacher too. 😊
he melissa, thanks, we love your vids as well! altho we get jealous of you guys in the Florida Faction. as for the bronze buddha, it has a wonderfully strong, yet pleasant scent. but it took a couple months to really come on strong. personally, i love the scent of the amboinensis and its hybrids. it is so weird, and it is a scent that you can "remember" and bring into your nose at any time (its a wierd thing that people know when I describe it, but i have no idea what causes it or the term for that in the scent world). and i didn't know you were a teacher also!! keep up the good work....
I didn’t realize that you were an international teacher. Two of my brothers were international teachers, one for 10 years and the other for his entire career. What an adventure! Have a wonderful vacation with your family and friends!
Hey Linda, thank you! yes, the boss and i have both been in the international system for 15 years. I hate to say it, but we can have a much higher standard of living than if we taught in the us :( as it is, we can buy lots of orchids, hahahah! where do your brothers teach? hope you are off to a great week!
They are both retired now but taught in Abqaiq, Saudi Arabia for over a decade in the 70s to early 80s. After that, one returned home, but the other was a school administrator in many places, including Malaysia, Morocco, and South Africa. Both of his kids are teaching in international schools now. You are right about it paying more and allowing teachers to enjoy a different lifestyle than teaching in the states would afford.
@@lindaannb oh nice! you know teaching is one of those professions that provides a ton of hidden opportunities (and i don't mean summer vacation). the only other professions that i see are so versatile is IT...here in germany just about the only other Americans besides teachers are in some sort of IT field. of course big business has international opportunities, but for the humble teacher, it is truly a thing of wonder
@@YnseSchaap hahahah, right on man!! lucky you...my sister would laugh hysterically if we asked her to take care of our orchids. her kids keep her busy enough :)
Awesome collection
Hey Rufiat, thank you as always!! And we hope you are off to a good week...
Looking good. Might have to add a Bronze Buddha to my collection one day. Have a good trip.

Nice plants, your Phalaenopsis are very beautiful. I have some Catasetums, but there are smaller than yours. :)
howdy Zoltan! thank you, but we wish the catasetums would have flowers, hehehe
