Jane Tonkin is fantastic. Its great to watch her on TH-cam. She is so knowledgeable and comes from a family that has been in horticulture for years. Well done Jane!
So loved the section pertaining to the Asian species of mayapples (Podophyllum spp.). Here in the American Midwest we have our native species. Jane Tonkin should get some plants from Plant Delights Nursery (PDN). They carry our native species that are usually white flowered but some strains have shades of pink flowers and one variety that is whitish yellow. PDN does ship internationally. I've bought their plants before & I like that they carry rare and unusual species. I applaud Jane for her work in shade garden plants. She might want to research some of the flowering woodland plants of the Ozark Plateau. They take periodic heat and drought and might do okay in Australia. You guys need to interview her again!
Thanks for watching! It's extremely difficult, slash impossible, to import live plant material into Australia. We're planning on visiting Jane again to look at other groups of plants and seasonal flowering so watch this space!
I love all of the woodland plants you featured. P. pleianthum is my absolute favourite podophyllum too. I have not been successful with jeffersonia though. Your wonderful video has made me yearn for spring.
Beautiful. I'll see what I can find in my area. My back garden is very shady. I wonder if any of these would do well in deep shade (I have an enormous thuja, a neighbour's pine and fences that shade most of my back garden).
How different is false Solomon's seal from the true???..I have both but the variegated false one, is almost invasive here. I don't know if they are the same genus just different species or what??? Also, while in London at the Chelsea physic garden, I learned that the Mayapple in my yard are the source of the cancer drug I took in 2018... the drug is called Etopiside I think ..it was so interesting to learn that tidbit of information....
the false and true Solomon’s seal are in different Genera and in fact are considered to be in two different families so aren’t close at all. The variegated false one Disporum is a bit of a thug in good conditions but many other species are quite benign. I love to know all the trivia surrounding plants as it gives them a personality. Regards Stephen
ahh,,,,,,,, common names and their confusion...... not a solomon seal at all....... flowers are very different.... foliage is a bit similiar....at least the thug just gets bigger and doesn't seed all over.......

Totally agree! Regards Stephen
All i can say is....... iam soooooo envious!!!!!!!!
You can probably grow things we can't. Regards Stephen
@@thehorti-culturalists yup, the cool things she has. But it's so hard to find good quality and some of them she has 😊
So nice, to see you showcasing our native US plants. I recognize so many, but we spend lots of days roaming the woodlands around us.
Thanks for watching!

💞✨Another enjoyable array and informative video. Thank you, Jane, Matthew and Stephen, for your input and journey through the greenwood.🌿
Thanks for watching!
I couldn't help noticing the pleiones as Jane introduced us to all those other wonderful plants. Maybe pleiones could have their own episode??
Matthew has done a segment on Pleiones on his orchid TH-cam channel called Hello Plant Lovers. Regards Stephen
@@thehorti-culturalists thank you for that info. I will follow up. Wendy

Thanks so much for watching Rachel!! When you come to Australia (!) you'll have to meet Jane!
@@thehorti-culturalists I wish!!!

Many of them probably would grow for you if you can find them.Regards Stephen

So, when you say stinky, which do you have a tindancy to use ?
Stinky usually applies to a smell that will attract flies to pollinate the plant. Regards Stephen
@@thehorti-culturalists I meant the fertilizer she uses or if you want to call it compost. Like mushroom or cow manure ? Thanks !
@@lindamurns1245 Jane uses animal manure.
Thanks dude !
The peltatum, we call mayapple, or umbrella. They tell us it's time to find morel mushrooms.
Interesting!

Collected some seeds for my local variety of the primula clevelandii ssp. patula! Can’t wait to see them bloom :)
Good luck with them!
