Orchids in Bloom April Part 3 | Miltoniopsis, Miniature Orchids, Cypripedium & Other Orchids

Hi everyone, it's Annabel, welcome back to my channel! Today we are finishing off looking at the orchids in bud and bloom for this month. Whereas I usually get them all out and do the 'Orchids in bloom' at the end of each month, this time I spaced it out over a few days and did it in three parts, to stop each video being too long. I think this format has worked well, at least for me, this month- let me know what you think!
