- This video is the second video about my trip to SE Brazil in August / September 2024. We see 6 species of rupiculous Cattleyas (syn. Laelia) at three different locations, two species of Constantia, Bulbophyllums, Prosthecea, Encyclias, and others.
Wonderful plants with such wonderful colours. Thanks so much!
Thank you! Yes, there really were tons of colors!
Great video! Rupiculous orchids always amaze me. Thank you for sharing! It must have been great fun!
It's a group I really haven't explored too much...yet!
How amazing. Loved watching. 👏🤗
@@shirleyholt898 thank you!
What a great trip that must have been! Thank you for sharing it.
It was definitely a lot of fun!
Hi Stephen😌🙌Excellent video and images. This is valuable information. I enjoyed watching😃🤲🌟
@@newmanmansell760 I’m glad this is helpful!
Oh wow! Again I am treating my Rupicolous Laelia too well. 😮 this really helps to know how they grow. I'm really shocked! So amazing though!
Ha! They do well with a pretty dry winter!
I find it really interesting how beaten many orchids look in situ. And than, how much fear is going on about giving them the right conditions... Thank you. ❤🎉
@@karlsorchidparty2395 I agree! These things are a lot tougher than we give them credit for!
That's me off to look for some quartz sand for my esalqueana! Amazing trip and fantastic video. Thank you for sharing!
@@Rasa.Lewis22 glad to do it! 🙌
Very exciting to see those orchids in situ. It really gives a better idea of the conditions they live in. To be able to resist the dry season they have go be pretty strong. They surely get the best from associations with mycrorrhizas and lichens. Thank you so much for the interesting footage and info ❤❤❤
@@FernandaNascimentoOrchids It’s truly amazing how tough these plants are!
Beautiful salute 🌸👍👌🏼
Thank you! 😊
Thanks..great video.
Thank you! 😀
great info, thanks for sharing your trip!
@@elpilarorchids thank you! I already want to go on another trip lol
I sure hope Nina gets a chance to watch this, she will love it. I have a couple of jongheana hybrids but not the species, it is always so pricey (same with lucasiana if you can even find it). One day I will get one.
I loooove jongheana! I wish I could grow it.
I am so envious that you got to go to 'where they live'. I have to get used to calling them rupicolous cattleyas 😅 these groups of orchids are my kryptonite. I have 33 and still want to try and get them all 😅
Thanks so much for this video! I’m a huge Constantia fan but most species aren’t that well known or cultivated. I know Andy’s orchids has listed a few rare species in the past but I’ve been waiting for a restock for a while. He’s probably low on stock (I hope he hasn’t lost some of them). Anyway it was great to see these orchids in situ. It shows how much we baby are cattleyas in cultivation.
I agree, Constantia really should be grown more often in cultivation!
@@SVKLOrchids those bulbophyllum were very nice to see as well! Bulbophyllum are my second favorite orchid group after cattleyas and their alliances.
Andy currently has constantia cristinae in stock!
@@Clam176 oh I’m very aware of that! I’m working on picking out an order from andys right now and it’s definitely on it!
@@ChristophersOrchids I wish I could have seen the Bulbos blooming!
A few years ago, I did a livestream and used Google earth to explore the terrain. Thankfully it appears my rupestris is looking as if its going to recover. Tough cookies! Its been stalled for 4 years! Slowly turning things around
Looks like it's the Land Of The Monocots.
@@TheDanEdwards Ha! Indeed!
Saw it in the AOS FB group Like Button Smash👍
@@williampetrovich1998 Much appreciated! 😃
I know they are in a different area of South America, but I would like to see mossiae, and labiata in their natural habitat.
It is really great to see these orchids.
Is there any connection between Francisco Miranda and the mirandae ?
That orange color practically glows.
Yes! Francisco's taxonomist friend named the species after him. And I'm there with you about seeing wild labiata and mossiae in-situ!
I have always been captivated by South American Bulbophyllum but there is very little information for the 80 or so species that exist there, and I have never seen a single one on the market, even from strictly Bulbo growers. Do you have any recs or know who might be soon bringing them into more common culture? Thank you for another amazing video!
Good question and unfortunately, I don't have an answer! If you pester Francisco about it, I'll join in and do the same 😜
cool
😃🙌
Any indication of dew in the morning providing moisture (for rupiculous laelias).
Good question! At the time we were there, there would have not been any dew. Francisco says the dew doesn't start coming back until just before the rainy season starts.
Beautiful salute 🌸👍👌🏼
