    Beautiful blooms, I can see why you love this orchid, truly very unique. Only the Orchid Master can master this orchid. Got 20 more compact Catts comming for unsuspecting recipients. I'll have to treat them with my magic potion for branching aireal roots, huh! Thanks for sharing Nina, much ❤️. 😂🎉

    She look stunning! This video gives me a lot of hope, as far as growing conditions go. I've had this one on my wishlist for a while.
  • @annavoeggia816
    Your wonderful care shows. A spectacular orchid. Such unique and interesting blooms. I like how the bloom spikes are at different heights.😊
  • 🦒💐👏❤️ I am absolutely delighted, such a gorgeous plant and the largest guarechea blooms I've ever seen. The colors are amazing too. And no, I did not pay that much. I don't remember how much but certainly not over 15 euros. And I remember I was in doubt because she had only one pseudobulb 😅 So glad she is loving your wonderful love and care 😘😘😘😘
  • Wow. I adore dark blooms and she is a beauty. Haven’t seen her type here yet but I’ll be on the lookout
  • @geneuinelee
    Happen to stumble across this video from your Prosthechea Genus Deep Dive video and then realised that you posted this. I happen to be helping my aunt look after her Prosthechea cochleata and was looking for care tips as she's in hospital and I myself just happen to get my hands on this Guarechea Black Comet Orchid and in perfect timing :D I guess it depends on the breeder as mine is darker but of cause it shows purple in very bright direct sunlight and it does gives off very mild fragrance and only when you bring it near your face. Thanks for the video and keep up the great work :D
  • What’s stunning combo of colors 😊 You done did good on this one Chica❤
  • I like the color on it, I just can't bring myself to like the shape. I am glad that it is doing well for you. It actually isn't that expensive here, fairly typical price for a blooming size orchid ($30-$50). I know it has been available much cheaper around Europe but I don't think the US price is that outrageous. Especially compared to when Phal Mini Mark and Sweet Memory were first being imported and they were selling for well over $100.
  • @MrKylesorchids
    Mine is fragrant but it is not a nice smell. It smells like toothpaste and someones breath, is what I got. I enjoy your videos!
  • And by the way - mine are heavily fragrant with havy sweet fragrance 😊 3 spikes feels out all room

    5:35 This one reminds me of the Clam Shell Orchid from Cuba. 🤔 0:40 🤣 1:55 I can see the Coconut Orchid in the background. I was recently having regrets not buying more than one to get a bushy plant. I'll see how it does first. It would be interesting to have the Tenufolia in the same pot as the Yamada. 3:13 Coco coir is probably good for a Zygo. It's one that I haven't tried yet, but I'll see how my new Miltoniopsis does this summe
