PETRENS ORCHIDEEËN & Co - HONEST review while unboxing my first orchids from this Belgian nursery!

NEW ORCHIDS! Always such an exciting event in my world! This time it wasn't just 'window shopping'! I love orchid shopping and sometimes, I browse and do a window shop at an online nursery, add orchids to my cart but never complete the order... in the winter, indoor grow space is an issue, otherwise my collection would be double of what I currently have going on... clocking 284 orchids, to date (June 2020). However, there are times, that we loose an orchid and it is just one of 'those' you don't want to grow without (see what I did there? ;)) ! In my case, that is the #Renantheramonachica . Recently succumbed 'mysteriously' and it needed to be replaced! Thanks to a spontaneous orchid chit chat with The Orchid Room on instagram, I was sent a screen shot of a flowering size orchid available at this Belgian nursery, and the rest is history. I sincerely hope you enjoy watching the unboxing and perhaps my review can be of help, IF you are ever considering buying orchids from them! Let me know if you have ever bought from Petrens, and if so, how was your experience? How was the quality of the orchids you received? I appreciate you taking the time to watch my video and I hope that you would consider subscribing to my channel, if you have not already done so. If you are already a subscriber, please also leave a comment, as I am always looking to include your name in my dedicated 'Blooms for You' series. Thank you! P.S.: I spelt Prosthechea wrong! I apologise!
