This week Plant Lovers an accidental orchid haul! I bought two two plants online one dark and wintery evening as I was fantasising about living in the tropics! And two from the fabulous Geelong Orchid Society plant sale and exhibition held over the weekend. Now Geelong is over an hours drive from me so THAT was commitment...and I wasn't disappointed; great flowering plants on show and some really interesting plants for sale. I also met viewers of the channel which is always a thrill so thank you for watching! The orchids featured in this video are: Coelogyne tomentosa Schomburgkia bowringiana Splendida 'bow' - Laelianthe Splendid Bow Paphiopedilum Hung Sheng Eagle Vanda jennae x holcoglossum The Facebook seller I bought the Paphiopedilum from is https://www.facebook.com/tsaitien.tsai.3/ Only for those in Australia alas.
