Fall gardening in my Japanese garden is a time for preparing tropical plants such as the slipper orchids (Paphiopedilum) and cycad collection for the coming winter months. This involves preparing an indoor greenhouse to accommodate them all, and getting the plants themselves spruced up for the long winter rest. Meanwhile the outdoor garden needs cleaning, mostly of falling leaves. The fall flowers are showing themselves as well, for instance the sasanqua camellias, imperial dahlias and the lovely Farfugium japonicum. This also is a time when the famous Japanese giant hornet (AKA “murder hornet”) is its most fierce. In the fall, just before they are about to die in the coming cold, they get very aggressive. In this video you’ll get to see some of these as well, and my nervous glances trying to keep the ones around the yard in view!

Time to find a Badminton racket and keep it handy in the garden. We used to use them against Yellow Jackets.
Beautiful collection
If you like ancient plants try the rare Angiopteris Evecta. It grows in isolated pockets in warm Queensland. And it's big I did grow them at one stage. What temperature is your winter? And how does you stag horn get though it.
I have the same type of clubmoss it really likes the tropical conditions here but it changes its fronds more often
👍👍👍👍👍♥️ nice
I love your videos
When I check my plants I relax..just as when I groom my cats
In the early part of video was that eggs on that fern ( butterfly)?
How are you impacted by the virus?
I've read a few articles on those hornets. Scientists have recently found and destroyed several nests in British Columbia and Washington. They're worried that the hornets might establish themselves as an invasive species. If I remember correctly the nests came from genetically different populations, which means there might've been several separate introductions.
