Steve and Marie’s 1-acre piece of land in Florida came with a riding lawnmower, but after 50+ years of growing plants—there is no need for one now! Instead a machete or some loppers may get us through the thick, jungly layer that has become their backyard and garden where they propagate and sell plants. Enjoy this tour!

  1. How does she say all these names so easily??? I feel like I need a translator for this video hahahah thank you for writing the names!

  2. My dream is Summer coming to Brazil and visiting Lorenzi, the Burle Marx garden and so many places that she would be crazy about

  3. Ahhh, FL…exactly where I’d love to live & garden. Can’t beat the tropics for growing plants. Marie is so cool…imagine starting to collect plants at such a young age! (I guess she knows the names of all those plants since they’ve been a part of her life for so long. I don’t know that I could remember them all!)

  4. This was such a fascinating episode and guest.
    Love seeing and hearing all of the history of what alot of collectors have brought to the cultivation world!

  5. Such a great place and Im happy to see plants in their mature and in their jungle environment. I would love to visit and get lost. I hope younger generation would appreciate this like field trips perhaps.💚

  6. 13:10 there actually is no formally published name of 'Osmoxylon lineare var. Miagos'. 'Miagos' actually has its roots in one of the Filipino languages as 'may agos', or 'where there is strong water flow'. This reflects the plant's habit of occurring at the edges of rivers and fast-flowing streams, being a true rheophyte.

  7. Love love love this episode! It’s the best I’ve seen so far with real people, real jungle, nothing pretentious and all grown from lots of passion and love ❤❤❤

  8. Such exquisite plants with a beautiful story of Steve and Marie’s life work. I loved hearing how Steve gifted Marie plants, and his hybridising work.

  9. Great video. Always enjoy the garden tours. I live in Florida and would love to know where she is located in FL. It sounded like she sells some of her plants. Is she open to the public?

  10. Now these are the types of plants that are truly rare, ones that are so elusive you only see them in a few people's collections. I'm really thankful that you go around and showcase the collections of these plant collectors/ hybridizers who have been doing this hobby since a long time ago. I hope you could someday interview Kunzo from Japan, his collection is very vast as well and I bet he would have lots of stories about certain plants.

  11. Again an awesome tour Summer, you make the best ones. Love Marie’s enthusiasm and knowledge. I remember in Genesis 1 when God created the Garden of Eden, imagine going through that garden. 😊

  12. @ 36:30 it's a Philodendron Sp.Napo plant originated from Napo, Ecuador (I Think..😉) Love the garden and it's truly a Jungle 🙂

  13. Thanks for appreciating our plants, which many Filipinos take for granted. I live at near a rainforest where we have wild hoyas, medenillas, alocasias, angiopterus, etc

  14. I got so excited when I saw the Osmoxylon lineare at 12:05 and 13:15. I just read about that in Scott Zona's book, A Gardener's Guide to Botany. The lower berry-looking thingies are actually false fruits – just sterile flowers. The real flowers are the white ones on top. The "berries" attract fruit doves who unwittingly pollinate the top flowers while they try to get to the "berries". I just thought that one ingenious strategy plants have developed to get pollinated.

  15. Sounds like you need to make a trip to Hawaii, maybe with Marie, so you can meet her sources. I live in Hawaii and now I’m going to pay more attention to what is growing just right outside. I take for granted that it’s common. Common yes, but I still get excited by seeing beautiful plants. It’s alway fun to walk around the neighborhoods, community gardens, nurseries and botanical gardens here. And best yet is no worry of cold weather to damage the plants.
