Wow👍👍
Such Beauty.
Beautiful collection, very well cared for
Been there a few times . Beautiful. The vast majority of those plants will grow as far south as the Brisbane subtropical region if planted in semi-protected positions , but do best north of Mackay.

They're not tropical. Matter of fact, the best specimen I have ever seen is in Kew Gardens, London, growing out in the open!
Cannes?😄
Mauna loa it is
That's not a peace plant. THIS is a peace plant. 😂😂😂
The presenters don't talk like normal people.
