Saw your comment on my video and 🏃🏼♀️🏃🏼♀️🏃🏼♀️ here I am ... vavavoom 🙌🏼 will edit the comment later because, I'm still watching 😬 fully agree with you regarding Grossrāschener, I have great orchids from them. Amazingly vigorous dowiana you have 👍🏼 I hope your other crosses will pull through fast 👍🏼 thank you, Karin, for doing this video and supporting the CareCollbs 🥰 have a wonderful Sunday 💞
Thank you Nina! I would LOVE to put it in s-h and leca but as all .y other dowiana hybrids did get a serback I don't dare. My other cattleas in s-h large ones as well as small ones are all doing great so what I was teying to get tbrougj in my video was that dowianas are fuzzy when disturbed! Have a movely sunny day!
Your plants are looking 'in the pink' Karin thank you for showing us your plants and the way you care for them. I really enjoyed your video....in fact I've watched it twice. Thanks for showing and take care, Ed.
Hi Ed! Nice to see you here and Im glad you enjoyed my video. Tricky little thing this dowiana, in the same class as Rex. Of course my 2 all time high favourite cattleyas! 😀🌺 have a lovely sunny week!
Apparently the crosses of dowiana are not doing as well as the species itself. She may not do well mixed up with other genes 😏 But your dowiana species is doing amazingly!!! I also learned the hard way with Catts that without no new fresh roots, no repottings... Very good video, as yours always are, Karin. Have a great sunday !!!!
Thank you soi much! It warmes my heart 🥰💚 Yes, If you put it that way around...hmmm yes its perhaps not the spicies itself thats the problem its when its mixed up...as you saw the daniris had 65!! Percent of dowiana in it and is doing best of them all! A good old cross! I lost all my old dowianas they were mostly seedlings and one nfs one when I repotted them and messed with their roots. Due to black rot. Well have a lovely day its a sunny sunday here in Sweden, too hot to be outside almost! Talk to you soon 🌺🌺
Hi Karin, great orchid. I bought Aurea from the same seller so you will find out that most likely there are more than one plant in that pot. Mine had 3 seedlings in one pot. Definitely not complaining 😆
Hi nice to see you! 😀 Well,, 3 x times they are more likely to survive then! But as soon as the roots on the outside starts to branch out again - I will repot her and then we shall see 😅
Wow all the way from South Africa! Then you must be familiar with " orchids and Fynbos " channel? Thank you so much for your encouraging comment! Have a lovely day/ night?! Take care! 😍
Very informative video good job👍 (Miracle orchids have a dowiana in SH and it thrives and blooms🤔 so you never know… ) I have a hybrid with 49 % dowiana in it and the lip and fragrance is absolutely incredible - it’s Chia Lin ’New City’ from Lucke this march, and it just bloomed for me 🥰 Hope your Lucke plants are doing well 👍
Hi Lotta! Yes box I watched Miracle orchids video, too bad she seems to have seised uploading...😪 but she grow everything in s-h and I was ever so tempted to use it for this guy, then I got wise. Congrats on your blooming! I Beatrice it was georgeous to see such a lovely one in bloom!!! 🥰🥰🥰 My Lucke ones are doing great, now putting out a few sheaths so maybe...😀 Thanks for dropping by!
@@KarinsOrchids ja jag hade turen att tre av de jag köpte nu i vår kom i blom 🤩 de andra står på tillväxt 🪴🪴 Du får ge oss en uppdatering kring dina! Alltid kul att se framsteg 👍👍
@@CharlotteDessi två har blommat och en är i knopp, men nu kommer nya skidor på de största så korsa fingrarna 😀 Får göra en liten uppdatering strax på dem! 😀
Hej Karin! Tack igen för dina inspirerande filmer!🌿❤ Såg att du har luftfuktare. Vilket märke och vad skall man se på när man köper en eller kanske två?!!🤔😀 Mvh Anna-Karin
Hejsan! Min heter Topcom health - multifunctional humidifyer 1850,,inställbar fuktnivå. 6 liter grå köpt på jula för 2 år sedan för ca 900 kr. Den är jättebra och har både varm mist och kall och luftrenare/avjoniserare. Jag hade den för nära ena sidan av rummet vid fönstret först och hade satt den på max, hade 80% fukt när jag kom hem...och fick svartmögel längst med taket ovanför stora vardagsrumsfönstret... fick panik och köpte anti mögelmedel och vit färg. Flyttade in fuktaren en bit närmre takfläkten, satte den på 55%, och det går kanon nu! Finns säkert fler märken med liknande produkter. Bra att sätta den något högre än plantorna då ångan ju faller neråt! Lycka till och tack för uppmuntran! 😀😍🌺
First of all - LOVE the dress you're wearing. Your dowiana looks really nice. Quite a big plant it seems. How long until blooming - what do you think? Next year as they said? I've never ordered from Großräschner... I love the triumphans - I saw pictures of it online... Very excited to see how yours will develop!
Well its green so what's not to love with tvat dress! 🥰 My dowiana is not in active root growth so no repotting today. Grißräschener has got lovemy plants, I got a few old unboxings from last summer up on youtube so you can see the quality of them! Sooo great! It will take a few more years for my dowiana to bloom I guess but from now ln Im giving her a lot more light! Thanks for watching! 😀😀👍💚
Hi there! Ikea had it originally but seized segling it,, thrn I got it from ebay instead its called " socker". I got the dowiana from großräschener in Germany! 😀
dowiana is beautiful, but I can't say that it is the most beautiful Cattleya there is. Among the species, I much prefer rex. But my favorite is the hybrid of both, C. Triumphans. Seriously beautiful, seriously fragrant. Your Triumphans I believe they separate out as Tiumphans-Rosita since it is made with the rosita form. That is a nice dowiana at a really good price. The prices in the US for dowiana has become absolutely ridiculous. Seedlings, and I mean plants with one or two post flask growths, go for $50. Blooming size plants are well over $100. Even though Hawaii produced a large crop of them last year, it hasn't brought the price down in the least.
Hi thanks for watching! Yes, they always do that ,, seize what to make so e extra money out of. Its the same as in the loricaridaee business ( aquaeium fish) the blue Eyed panaque, the one that you could get for 100 euro 30 years ago all of a sudden came from an occupated area in the south america, tve prize rose to approx 700 euro If thatbis enough...all If a sudden everybody desired that spieces... I hope my triumphans bounces back. My old Rex was about the same size when the scale took it... now theyre on to my triumphans as well. Have a nice day! 😀🌺
@@KarinsOrchids the Blue Eyes is really a sad story of environmental disaster. There was a massive chemical spill in the area of the river where they were collected (I think 1999 or 2000). About a year later they were allowed to collect in that river again and all of the Blue Eyes had large white lesions. Fish were sent to the University of Florida and it was determined that they had a virus so they were no longer exported. A few years later, Blue Eyes were found in another area but it is difficult to access and subject to catch limits, but they were virus free. Because of the difficulty in collecting them and the limits on them, the wholesale price went from $5 to $60 overnight.
@@michaelmccarthy4077 Yes, and the gerilla was watching the territory as well where its still endemic. About 730 us dollars was the last bid I saw on one of those, about 8 years ago so things might have changed a bit since then. Its the same with dowiana,,, If they were easy to collect at a fair price it wouldnt be as beautiful I guess 😁 Its the rarity that makes it more beautiful than it really is 😉
@@KarinsOrchids $700 seems a bit crazy, but supply and demand I guess. I used to work for a wholesaler and they cost us $60 FOB in 2009, so our true cost was around $85. We would sell them for $150 to retailers and who knows what they would sell them for. (my policy was don't ask, I don't want to know)
@@michaelmccarthy4077 Aha! Its fun to see that the same hobbies attracts the same kind of people. Lots of dog livets has got orchid collections as well as aquarium hobby! For now I have SA tanks such as discus, catfish and earth eathers apistogramma etc😀
Hi and thank's for stopping by! 😀😀 Well shes not the easiest one to get hold of esp as a decent sized one! I was beeing lucky that's all. Maybe ship from Europe or ask the nurseries nearby your area to import it? I managed to do that twice with some other cattleyas! Good luck with it I beat itll work any day now for you. As for my dream of purchasing a nice Iwanagara Apple blossom... 😍
@@KarinsOrchids My orchid society has the Dowiana but not for sale this year. When they do divisions they sale them to members before anyone else. So hopefully I will be able to get her next spring. Oh I'm looking for the Iwanagara Apple Blossom as well. Good luck on your hunt and good growing. Have a nice Sunday.
