Wow! …. Wow! Mr. Sean the tour was great but the encore was - wonderful - for lack of a better word. The Nipple plant and the Aristolochia Gigantea…. AMAZING pollination process! Truly jaw dropping. Manifestation of So much intelligence. Most of us westerners will never see these amazing plants thriving in real life. Thank you so much for sharing!

Wow! I am glad you got to experience the fun of Impatiens 'Touch Me Not' seed pod exploding in your hand. Absolutely beautiful tour of the Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden. The split leaves of Bauhinias (Orchid Trees) are cardioid shaped leaves. The leaves, fruit and bean seeds are edible. Not all of the Bauhinias (trees) and the closely related Phaneras (lianas) have "butt" shaped leaves. :)

Thank you. And yes he is the director at the botanic gardens for decades! Summer visited him many years back. So glad he kept his work and passion alive all these years.
I just loved that newly discovered Thai fern - so pretty with its soft and more upright round leaves. So cool - I love ferns. Amazing tour - worth watching a second time to take it all in. Thank you so much for taking us along, it was a pleasure to listen to two plant enthusiasts having a fun and enlightening discussion.

Now I need to start thinking of impatients as trees. There were many plants that I had never seen before. This is a beautiful place. I’m adding it to my list of place to see.

Impatiens are maybe dwarf trees instead of full blown ones. I saw lots of shrub height ones in the tour that I didnt film 😀 they are actually very diverse and interesting!

Amazing, the variety. Thank you for bringing this to the world. Although they may not grow in Alabama, USA. I’m excited to try some begonias on limestone instead of standard potting soil and container 👍

On limestone, the begonias may need higher humidity to extract moisture from the air. Although Ive seen begonias grown outdoors on walls in subtropical Taiwan 😀

This adventure reminded me of the beauty of the mountain where I used to live in the northern part of the Philippines till i was 17yrs of age before we moved to Canada. I loved nature but was young then and placed more attention to friends instead😂. But this video is really inspiring me to have a deeper appreciation of things specially with plants. Thanks Sean.

Hey Sean, i have a plant that i can't seem to identify. Even the person i got it from doesn't know for sure and was wondering if you'd like to try to identify it? The variegation is crazy and would really like to know what the name and species it is. I can send pics of juvenille and mature if so. 🙌🏽🙏🏽

@onlyplants thanks for the reply Sean! I have been trying with the juvenile and mature form, unfortunately it always just pops up a general philo search. I like your content and format and thought I'd try asking you for advice. Your guess is as goof as mine lol. But I do think it is a Philippine type plant if that helps for starters
Need more improvement on knowledge
