This was so fantastic! I continued to imagine her pottering about in this special place long after the video was over. Like a protector of life, the keeper of earths secrets. How beautiful.
Thankyou Summer for having Emily who is so knowledgeable, informative and personable as she shares her sections from MBG. I found the predatory insects, more than 400 exquisite geckos a great ecologically sound solution 👏🏿. A one and a half meter Eastern Water Dragon and Kookaburras keep my citrus stink bug free. How do raccoons even get in? I was most interested in the Titum, having lived in Borneo for many years. I see in the beautiful bloom photographs that the enormous pot and plant were moved out into the areas for the public to see. The logistics of that omg, with all the under bench plants and a half tonne plant to move! Congratulations on this film and your body of work Emily and Summer. Thank you for the tour, I love touring tropical green houses and tropical countries to see their plants. Especially Botanical Gardens.
This lady is so wonderful and so precious with the knowledge she has. Always love to meet passionate people in love with their plants like most of us. Thank you for this video.
It is so beautiful to see all this. My specialization are orchids, but when I started my apprenticeship as a gardener last year I discovered for me the Araceae and now I‘m totally in love with them! This is exactly for what I‘m hoping as my future job!
Our pleasure. Also and extension and thanks to you and all who care to watch, and to the sponsors that help facilitate these videos. Can't do that without everyone really!
This vid is SUCH GOOD VIBES! Emily comes across as a fantastically impressive and intelligent plantswoman. It's really inspirational to see the workload she has, and how she is absolutely nailing it. Thank you both for sharing your passion for aroids with us, this has been lovely
My goal in life is to one day own a greenhouse. Ive always had plants...but Summer Rayne Oakes inspired me to really get into plants as a hobby. Philodendron are my absolute favorite. Sanseveria/Dracaena are a close second.
I am extremely grateful that aroids do not commonly bloom in the home! I don’t know if I can get that roach image out of my mind! This series is incredibly informative, entertaining, and extremely fascinating, and can’t wait to watch and learn more! *minus roach imagery. 😂
My favorite of your videos Summer! Poor Emily. The number of plants in there gives me anxiety! I hope she has some helpers. What an interesting job though.
@@TheMariaFerraz hard to explain but if you touch a leaf of a Colocasia and Xanthosoma you’ll see their distinctly different than Alocasia. Colocasia are paper thin since they’re bog and river and swamp plants. Xanthosoma have distinctive leathery leaves with different venation and lobes than Alocasia
It's interesting to see how different biological collections work. I volunteer and have done research with the NHM but with the fishes and we have our own system because particularly, the catfishes that I work with genera change frequently. We have accession codes and at least in the fishes we use BMNH because the NHM was once a part of the British Museum known as British Museum, Natural History. I've been in the herbarium and Hans Sloane collection, that's really interesting to compare to how people organise live collections.
Great video and very informative. Love all those different anthurium/aroids! So interesting facts that the lady was talking about such as the South American species do not hybrid with the central and North American! Thanks ever so much for sharing and looking forward to see the second part.
I was looking for that paper, but didn't exactly locate it to put it into frame/reference. I usually like referencing that stuff in the videos for others.
🥰MG this is the main dish finally serve . The best vlogs topic ever. I'll be watching v it over and over and over again. Very informative and interesting .
I was intently trying to study her plant tags. I'd love to hear more about how she organizes the information on the tags. She said she keeps the name and source but she also said she logs all of the specific things done to it. I could use that type of organization myself. I'd like to know more about that!
Wasn't sure folks would have been interested in the plant tagging / classification, but glad to see at least you're interested. I generally ask almost all botanic gardens I go to because they are frankly all very different!
@@summerrayneoakes Thank you! I am for sure interested and I did catch a glimpse!One could translate that system to our own home collections. A way to keep the information with the plant itself. I never thought of writing all that on the tag. She had some really tall tags! I see great potential for organizing my own plant care.
What an impressive collection. Taking care of these plants and appreciating them would be my dream job ! Also, I thought the mosntera 'Peru' was named Monstera Kartenianum or is it another name for the cultivar ?
I’m an Environmental Plant Science major, I reside in Springfield but am from St. Louis. How have I never come across this?? Where is it?! Why do you get special access!!!!
I love these kind of videos so much! Thank you and all the best from Germany :) btw, the scientific name of Monstera Peru is M. karstenianum, isn't it?
I really liked the Anthurium with the palmate leaf. I wonder if the botanists naming the group used Dinosaurs as their inspiration i.e. Dactylosaurus or Pterodactylus.
I just want share about the xanthosoma, here in the philippines xanthosomas are very invasive but their valuable aswell cuz they are a staple vegetable here, and here 1 botanical or botanist website named xanthosoma sagiitifolium into alocasia talihan, i guess they named it like cuz talihan means talahiban or a large place of bushes cuz here they grow in bush so it named alocasia talihan
Summer this has to be one of my favorite videos that you have made. The lady is so personable. I wish it were open to the public.
Wait losing that woman during the berries part was hilarious. Wow y’all are awesome! Love nerding out with plant people!
This was so fantastic! I continued to imagine her pottering about in this special place long after the video was over. Like a protector of life, the keeper of earths secrets. How beautiful.
Beautifully stated
Most people dream of having their dream cars or house. Me? A giant greenhouse with a giant plant collection. 😂
Yes same ! A little house with a giant greenhouse 😅
I appreciate you sponsoring these tours and taking us plant lovers to places we don’t normally have access to. Thank you!
I love how lady loves her work and how educational her speech is

I really love those greenhouses tours ! They’re really interesting and it’s so cool to learn how each botanist take care of their collection :)

Thank you, Summer, for bringing us into Emily's world, and doing such a great job at documenting her incredible work!
Our pleasure. Also and extension and thanks to you and all who care to watch, and to the sponsors that help facilitate these videos. Can't do that without everyone really!
Thanks for all of the tours!! I love seeing all of the plants in the greenhouse tours, home tours; really any kind of plant tours 😍

Beautiful video as always! I love these special greenhouse/botanical garden tours!
My goal in life is to one day own a greenhouse. Ive always had plants...but Summer Rayne Oakes inspired me to really get into plants as a hobby. Philodendron are my absolute favorite. Sanseveria/Dracaena are a close second.
Love this kind of in depth video. Wondering if any of the hybrids make it into commercial sales. Dream job!!
I am extremely grateful that aroids do not commonly bloom in the home! I don’t know if I can get that roach image out of my mind! This series is incredibly informative, entertaining, and extremely fascinating, and can’t wait to watch and learn more! *minus roach imagery. 😂

Already in love with all those plants…😍
This is so fun to watch! Thank you for sharing with us Summer!
My favorite of your videos Summer! Poor Emily. The number of plants in there gives me anxiety! I hope she has some helpers. What an interesting job though.
i've always found it extremely easy to distinguish between Xanthosoma, Alocasia and Colocasia, they just each have a different look and feel
Please, tell how you do it. I'd love to learn.

I can’t wait to see more from this series!!
Roaches? My absolute WORST nightmare! I could have gone my entire life without knowing that...
Field Trips are my favorite episodes
🥰MG this is the main dish finally serve . The best vlogs topic ever. I'll be watching v it over and over and over again. Very informative and interesting .
33:22 that gecko engaged lightspeed instantly 😍
This was so interesting!!! And what an amazing space to work in every day (minus the roaches). LOL
This place is chaotic beauty. 😳 🥰
I live only 30 minutes from the gardens. So I really appreciate the personal tour.😃
Thanks Summer for this video content, I really enjoyed it and I can't wait for the next part. Greetings from Australia!

can we applaud Sander for his superior camera work?
What an impressive collection. Taking care of these plants and appreciating them would be my dream job !
Also, I thought the mosntera 'Peru' was named Monstera Kartenianum or is it another name for the cultivar ?
Great collection! Hope we can see more Asian type aroids in several botanical visits. ❤
I’m an Environmental Plant Science major, I reside in Springfield but am from St. Louis. How have I never come across this?? Where is it?! Why do you get special access!!!!
Miss this kind of stuff, glad covid cases there is getting down. We can get more tour now
I am drooling the whole time. More videos pls Summer of this greenhouse.
So cool. I'm an intern at my uni's herbarium. Which feels really similar to this but preserved.
24:53 😍 Titanum, I've seen some, so unique 💚💜
I can't wait to see those Philos! 🌱
Wow! I went to the missouri botanical gardens a lot as a child but I had no idea about this collection until now.
I really love these tours!!
As a gift, I watched the ads without skipping.
ahh thank you. Every little bit helps of course.
these tours are my favorite!!
I love the greenhouse tours 🥰
Please continue these fabulous videos! I can’t wait to see the next one !

Having met Emily during our Corpse Flower bloom, she is amazing! So kind and nice 💚💚💚 Knowledgeable!
I love this tour! If you're ever in Tampa, FL I would love to show you my plant store
I live in Tampa and would love to visit. I currently own about 60 plants and could use a few more.

She may, single handedly, just ruined my obsession with aroids with the roach imagery.
Me too 😂😂 I couldn't handle it
Haha. Roaches get such a bad rap.
Wow, this is amazing.
This video was amazing 😍
