Oh my goodness. I would have bought a birthday plant, a Christmas plant, um how many holidays are there, 😆? Happy Birthday Ashley! My favorite birthday plant I got myself was a Sparkling Sarah, a lovely pink aglaonema that thrives on neglect.

[@Emissary52]

Happy Birthday Ashley! If PBS-Charlotte had any brains, they'd start a houseplant show and make you the host. You'd be perfect for the job! Thank you sooo much for this tour of the Oakdale Greenhouse. This place must be an "Aroid Heaven" for those of us in the Charlotte area. I've watched so many of your videos and this one deserves an Emmy. The Oakdale Greenhouse seems to have everything a "Plant Person" could want. I'll be visiting them soon thanks to you! Again, Happy Birthday and thanks for all you do! ❤

[@Tamolwv]

I love these videos because it helps to see the different varieties. I have the Tropic Snow and star bright and I love them.

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Lovely!

[@marieclark4609]

Well I hope you have a great birthday🥳🎂 that Christmas cactus was very pretty so many great plants I always enjoy watching your videos🌿😁😍🥰🤩👍👍🤟🤟

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Thanks Marie!

[@lindaholder2222]

Happy BDay Ashley that was a pack full of wonderful and beautiful plants I think Batik syngonium is my favorite pick. But The African violet is Stunning 😍

[@marilynbruckman3610]

Happy birthday and thank you for the shopping trip. My batik has been very easy and a fast grower!

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Awesome! Thanks Marilyn!

[@PlantyGal05]

Happy Birthday! The plants that looked like painted ladies were Caulkin’s gold. They have similar leaf patterns but are a golden yellow coloring where the painted lady has pink petioles and sinuses. I love my platinum mist! She’s so vocal- reaches for the window so she’s gotta be turned every couple days, and gets so dramatic when she’s thirsty.

[@detroitclawsnailtech5482]

People find it hard to believe it’s not a painted lady… love mine ❤

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Wonderful! Thanks for the tips!

[@SuperDrefuss]

Learned about these just yesterday and came to mention. I’m down with the birthday plant thing.

[@keystonegundogs9565]

Happy Birthday Ashley! I love plant shopping with you! I would have picked out the Verrucosum for sure! But all your plant selections are so beautiful!!! Wish I lived in your area to shop at that plant shop! They have an enormous selection! Good prices too! I'm in the middle of transferring my climbing plants off of the coco coir poles to actual spaghnum moss poles that I'm making myself. It's easy and fun and you can make whatever size you need for that particular plant and planter! I look forward to your next video! God Bless.

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

That is awesome!

[@myopiniontoday5810]

Happy birthday Ashley.. I have been following you for awhile and i always love your video hauling and plant shopping. If you were in Sydney australia. I’m more than happy to give you a large cutting of philodendron splendid and verrucasum. Great video always.. all those plants that you were showing are quite common in Sydney. I have tons of epipremnum pinatum albo with great variegation and piper crocatum and lots of others. What’s rare here is global green pothos or scindapsus jade or Baltic blue

[@sreedevivn3010]

Good choices again!!! Platinum mist is espy lovely.

[@carrieanderson4399]

Happy Birthday!! I love watching your channel! Makes me smile!😊

[@sreedevivn3010]

Many many Happy returns of the day Ashley

[@kerrymcallistee3418]

Happy Birthday Ashley, enjoyed your plant haul. Thank you for sharing fun trip through the Oakdale Nursery.

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Thanks Kerry!

[@michelejoerres4165]

Happy Birthday Ashley! I absolutely love your excitement when you shop and find great plants! Thanks for the tour and all your great tips. I've learned so much from your videos. Great ones you picked again. I agree with all your picks even with how hard it was to decide!! :) Have a great birthday!

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Thanks for the kind words Michele!

[@Wendy-zl8kv]

You are so much fun! I had so much fun shopping with you!!! Happy Birthday sweetie! 🎉 I loved all the plants you got!

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Thank you!

[@michelleburris1056]

Happy Birthday blessings, Ashley Anita! Enjoy it to the fullest! I Iove following your plant videos. They are always interesting & informative. I'm from NY, but was in Charlotte for Thanksgiving and tried to visit Oakdale and Cactus Club, but they were both closed early on Wednesday. I hope to get back to the Charlotte area someday soon to visit some of the nurseries! Keep the videos coming, and again enjoy your birthday!

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Aw bummer! Those are both great places!!

[@amichele862]

Happy blessed birthday. Great variety of philodendron. Love them

[@peggymalabuyoc9150]

Excellent plant haul! Sending you birthday wishes filled with much love and joy. So glad you went to Oakdale and found a Platinum Mist Peace Lily. I’ve been looking for one so I need to get there ASAP. Take care and happy growing! 👌🪴😊

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Thanks Peggy!

[@wandashaw3551]

Hello Ashley and Happy Birthday!! I love your haul choices, especially that Peace Lily, she's on my wish list now! 😘😘😘😘🎂🎂🎂🍾🍾🍾

Happy Birthday! I love how well everything is labeled! That's REALLY nice!

Happy Birthday. Thank you for sharing you day with us

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Thanks Wendy!

[@DragonflyenAmber]

Happy Birthday!! The Nephthytis Batik is another name for Syngonium Batik. This place has so much amazing stuff, they would have to kick me out of there LOL I've learned the hard way that larger more established plants are best for me. The Draecena Moonshine and Sayuri caught my eye.

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Beautiful!

[@cindyvan635]

Happy Birthday!!! So fun shopping with you, great pics💚🤗🌱

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Thanks Cindy!

Happy birthday. I just had my 66th birthday on the 3rd. Love this garden center. Wish I was closer

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Happy birthday!

[@brittneyrobinson9]

LOVED this video. I live in Maryland but I’m definitely gonna make a trip to Charlotte in the Spring to check this place out! Beautiful choices and Happy 37th Birthday! 🥳🎈What a blessing. ☺️ Hope you truly enjoy your day and God bless you. May you have many more to come!

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Thank you Brittney!!

[@angelahill-martin1606]

Happy birthday 🎂 Definitely African violet and Peace Lilly.

[@Rebelluver97]

Happy early birthday Sagittarius queen! Love that gratitude plant tradition you have

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

❤️❤️

[@nic8625]

Happy birthday! I love the peace lily you chose! That long trailing Scindapsus trebuii moonlight would have be hard to pass by. 🤩

[@amymarshall1829]

Happy Birthday!! What an amazing selection to choose from! I would have snapped up the Aglaonema Chocolate in a hot minute. It's on my wish list, but I haven't seen it around in my area (Columbus, Ohio). You should probably go back for that Black Pagoda lipstick plant, too. :) I passed up a big one at one of my local nurseries and then couldn't find another for MONTHS. I finally got a smaller one a few weeks ago and totally love it. Have a blessed birthday!

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Thank you!

[@mckenzie8341]

Love and appreciate the tour Ashley. Enjoy your beautiful haul. Happy birthday blessings from one Sagittarius to another .

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Thank you!

[@only1golda]

Happy belated birthday! I LOVE African Violets and would have definitely chosen the variegated one.

[@rhondafisher72]

Nice selection, Happy Birthday 🎂 🎂

[@scheherezade3]

Happy Birthday! I love African violets as well. Best thing I’ve found for them is self watering pots (the wicking ones) and diluted African violet food to fill them. I went from losing them regularly to having massive violets that rebloom with pretty much no effort. You got some very pretty plants to add to your collection 😊

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Great tips! Thank you!

[@tinapomfrey5412]

Wow, what a selection! I love the Platinum Peace Lily. I, too, am a fan of Peace Lily, very underrated, easy plants, and beautiful. The Christmas Cactus in the video is actually Thanksgiving Cactus. Christmas Cactus clades are smooth and elongated and Thanksgiving Cactus are spikey, pointed. The retail market is notorious for this. True CC are hard to find in retail stores.

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Great to know! Thanks!

[@laurenm1635]

I knew you were at Oakdale!!!! This is my favorite nursery in the Charlotte area!!! I live in Concord so it's only 30 minutes from me. I love the selection they have and the employees actually know what they are talking about!!!! I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!!! When I go there I spend hours looking at their plants.

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

They are amazing! Thanks for watching!

[@cecethedawg3711]

Hey Ashley! Happy birthday! I love your videos! Could you make a video about repotting like how often you repot your plants and how you know when to repot them since you have so many? It’s the one part of houseplant care that I don’t really understand at all. Thanks!

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Hi! I have a repotting episode in my Houseplant care 101 series you may find helpful. ❤️

[@sylviagutierrez7676]

Great plants ,and great prices!the African vilolet is so cute,👍that’s the one for me,,, 💚🌵☘️🌱

[@r4tgl]

That place is incredible!!! One of the best selections of plants on my wishlist I have trouble finding up in CT. Have a wonderful bday!

[@r4tgl]

And my number 1 pick there would have been aglaonema chocolate 🍫!

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Thank you!

[@suerivest3651]

Happy Birthday !!! The philo Cathaline is another McCooley's hybrid like the Summer Glory, nice variety there , I could have spent a fortune lol...one of those dark lords prob for sure... nice haul, enjoy the birthday plants !!

[@gwenncoath8941]

Happy birthday! The platinum mist is a good choice. I have one and so far it’s been really easy. I got my Philo Summer Glory from Cactus Club. Maybe I’ll make a trip to Oakdale to get that Philo Cathaline….

[@JohnAdams-we9gs]

Great video. Happy Birthday!

[@crystalakers9817]

Love Oakdale, haven't been there for a while since I am 3 and a half hours away. It was good to see what they have now. Thanks and hope you have a great birthday

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Thanks for watching!

[@allthenuts9179]

I would lose my mind in that place, so many beautiful plants!! I found an Epiprimnum Albo in a tiny hanging basket for $28 yesterday at my local nursery. I couldn't snatch that up fast enough.

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Wowowoe!

[@MsNipri]

Beautiful birthday hauo! ♥️ Happy birthday Anita Ashley! 🎂

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Thank you!

[@kyrad6543]

Happy Birthday! That Oakdale has an immense selection. That would be a tough decision for sure. But you got some good ones! Enjoy.

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Thanks!! ❤️❤️

[@theogstasimay]

I’m so jealous of the easy access to such great plants. In California, we just got Ecuagenera about 2 hours from me. It might be time for a road trip.

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Ah that would be amazing!

[@johnnyutah1053]

Happy birthday! I was so hoping you got that huge pink princess!

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Ahhh so tempting!!

Happiest of Birthdays to you. I have houseplants older than you! 😁 Would love to see an old girl plant tour! Come see my best and dearest plant friends. You could also do a tour of Ironwood Estate Orchids, which is nearby!

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Aw thank you!

[@dorothycherkas17]

Great finds Ashley, I know I am a little behind watching your videos. The African violet was beautiful, I hope you still have it and blooming? The philodendron with moss pole, at age would you introduce the moss pole? I have just started collecting plants past 6 months. Being 76 and with tremors bad I am learning to purchase more established plants. Plus being on limited income always looking for sale. You always find some good plants.
