I love hearing personal stories for plants and the subsequent learning of the plant's preferences. It makes watching informative videos that much more interesting :D

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Glad you liked the video. I love the back stories too!

[@sharonrichardson6563]

Love them all, especially the blooms on the cabbage tree.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Can't wait for my cabbage tree to bloom

[@benwinkel]

Yay! Greenhouse.., with a twist! I love it, more would certainly be appreciated!

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Thank you, Ben. the weather is so awful at the moment I feel myself making more greenhouse videos!

[@benwinkel]

@@GardeningatDouentza I'm sorry to hear about your weather. It hasn't been to bad over here, just some intermittent showers and sunny spells. But nice temperatures. Hope your weather improves! Meanwhile, i wouldn't mind some more greenhouse... ;)

[@tippysdaddy7468]

Wow! What an amazing collection, all your plants look so healthy. Thanks for sharing.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Thank you. I spent a lot of time potting this summer. I think it has paid off.

[@FernandaNascimentoOrchids]

What a fantastic collection!!! I anteciparem a huge greenhouse to accommodate them in the future. They are awesome and you are growing them very well. Very well explained, loved how you did it. Thank you and best of luck for blooming and fruiting😄

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Thank you, Fernanda. So glad you liked it. Just wanted to do something a bit different.

[@karenhart4316]

I’m from the mid north coast of NSW Australia … we grow all these outdoors and they are quite common to see growing here in tropical weather we get all year round !its so amazing to see how all our countries have different ways of caring for them 🌴🌱🍁🌾☘️🌻

[@GardeningatDouentza]

How lucky you are to have a climate where these plants can be grown outdoors. Thanks for watching and happy growing.

[@PottedJewels]

Super duper video! Thank you very much for not being so lazy as i am,and source all that info what hear now. Learn a lots, big thumbs 👍up and sharing this away! Well done you! 💖

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Trying to shake it up a bit. Thanks, Liga 😊♥️

[@kathleenearsman6750]

Thank you for this beautifully informative video, Rachel. There are some here that I see in sub-tropical Australian gardens as I pass by, but they are not as healthy as yours! So well done Lady Greenfingers!

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Ah yes, but you have a wonderful climate for many plants we struggle to grow here. Thank you, Kathy.

[@callingalldreamers]

I am in complete awe of the dendroseris litoralis!!!😍

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Isn't it great. Possibly my current favourite plant. Thanks for watching.

[@joannweber4393]

Loved this presentation of all the exotics !

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Thank you 😊

[@eccremocarpusscaber5159]

So enjoyed this video - some plants I haven’t seen before - which is exciting! Have a wonderful day 😃

[@GardeningatDouentza]

I love that too. Live to hear about plants I never new existed. For years I only ever bought plants I didn't know 😊 Glad you liked the video.

[@pal98111]

Fabulous. Makes me want to start some seeds I’ve had tucked away and neglected.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Oh, get those seeds out! You know you want to 😊

[@tc9731]

Beautiful

[@GardeningatDouentza]

🙏👍🕶️

[@miche7032]

Very enjoyable video... 👍🏼👍🏼

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Thanks for the visit

[@laurenb6451]

I have the plain white Angels’ Trumpet. 30years ago when I got a greenhouse for the first time the daughter of husband’s coworker sent me some stems which I grew into a plant. Sadly we needed to move almost immediately and the new house had no greenhouse. I told this plant I would keep it alive until I got another greenhouse which took over 30 years but I still have it and it just bloomed again💚 Oh yeah, at some point a local plant store sold small specimens of it and some “geniuses” from the local HS spread the word that the plant was a hallucinogen and the local hospital had a giant influx of teens who were poisoned by it until the source was deduced and the store yanked it. Nothing to play around with!!

[@GardeningatDouentza]

That's a terrible story about those young people poisoning themselves. I hope they were okay. Thanks for sharing and I bet your plant is a scented vision when in bloom.

[@laurenb6451]

Yes as far as I know everybody survived and hopefully were the wiser. Yes! When it flowers the fragrance is amazing, just I need to go downstairs and outside at night to enjoy it. 👃🏼

[@stevef1264]

I had a brugmansia with huge pink trumpet flowers. I kept smelling them one summers evening & fell asleep next to the plant & had crazy dreams! It wasn't till I looked it up & saw the shamens sleep under them for that purpose as well as smoking the leaves for the hallucinations tho they can be terrifying I believe. Not a plant to be trifled with even if they are beautiful! Fascinating video tho thanks very much

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Oh dear.One not to be tried at home" I'm glad you were alright.

[@michaelmccarthy4077]

A mention of PawPaw? 😁 Hardly known outside the US I think, the fruits are quite delicious but one that will never be available in a store, they have to be picked ripe (or they never ripen) and eaten within two days. It is one that would be hardy and capable of fruiting in your climate, maybe you need to get some seed 🤔 . The Brug is looking fantastic. One of those plants that really benefits from being chopped back hard. Which reminds me, I've got to go deal with that shrub rose of mine. So leggy looking, need to cut it back by half to bring back the vigor. The yard waste people are going to love picking up that thorny pile 😬 .

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Hey, I remember the pawpaw fruit from Disney's the Jungle Book :D No, I don't think assimia is known over here. It doesn't seem a very ornamental tree from google 🤔 Yeah, next time I will cut the brug back more. I was too hesitant this time but now I know it can take it. Just in from potting on some big plants. I can see myself slicing off roots next year as there won't be any bigger pots! Thanks for watching, Michael.

[@hrm266]

So beautiful! What about the Tetrapanax? I remember you talked about it some time ago!

[@GardeningatDouentza]

I still grow plenty of tetrapanax in the garden. It's from China though so not the subject of this video. Look out for it in my monthly garden tour videos!

[@alicegem3098]

You need to open up a botanical garden😉with all your collection of foreign species of plants you will make people happy😊

[@GardeningatDouentza]

😅😅😅 Haha. Well, I do open my garden and people who visit can see the greenhouse too.

[@dannyboii9117]

Speaking my language 😜😎🌺🌸🌴.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Good 😉🐖💐🎈

[@TimosGarden]

Is the Brugmansia scented? I'm thinking about getting one but if it has no scent id rather stick to the Hybrids :D

[@GardeningatDouentza]

No scent!

[@thomashancock8361]

Can i ask where do you get all these plants from

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Seed mostly

[@tendwabasantpur9079]

ऐ। ।

[@laurenb6451]

The buds of the climbing vine look just like the nose and mouth of a llama🤡

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Haha, really! Must look again!
