The Orchid Room's video: Orchid Spotlights Two fragrant showstoppers - Neofinetia Vanda falcata and Cycnoches lehmannii

Hi everyone, it's Annabel, welcome back to my channel! In today's video, I am going to talk a bit about two quite special orchids which have been in bloom over the last month or two- the formerly Neofinetia, now Vanda falcata, and the Cycnoches lehmannii. Neither are particularly great specimens at the moment- work in progress, but I am super happy to have both in bloom :-) Previous videos: Neofinetia and hybrid full collection: https://youtu.be/Bn-Vp8Ge680 Full Catasetum Collection: https://youtu.be/FKnghB_QO74 Catasetum Spring Update: https://youtu.be/ykR3aVTMC3c Timestamps: Introduction 00:00 Neofinetia falcata 01:00 Flower and fragrance 02:00 Flower forms 03:45 Leaf form: 05:00 Potting: 05:50 Variegation and slow growth: 06:30 Cycnoches lehmannii 07:40 Fragrance 08:15 Cycnoches smaller growth pattern 08:40 Flower longevity 10:30 Comparison to hybrids 11:30 Thanks so much for watching! 🙂 Pop any comments or questions down below- I am not by any means a pro on either of these orchids, although I have alot of Neofinetia and hybrids now that all grow extremely well for my, this variegated form is the slowest growing of my Neo collection! ______________________________________________ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.orchid.room/ ______________________________________________ ❀ My Orchid Room ❀ UK Spare Bedroom *Currently Moving to a New House* Temps- 18-35C Humidity 50-75%.
