She is adorable and full of knowledge we all need to stop and listen to those with year of experience 😊

[@Troy1929]

What a lovely person, experience is everything. ❤

[@marleneprescod8494]

Thanks you Patrick this was such an awsome video Katie has a memory that is second to none telling you all about the plants and her childhood memories with her brother I would say she had a wonderful life and is still having❤ this really was special. Epiphyllium are my favorite orchid cactus the blooms as spectacular I have about 6 of them but all are white blooms. I did bought a red and unfortunately I lost it but I will get there again from this awsome inspirational tour.❤

[@BettyCooper777]

I love this so much. She is so interesting and lovely to listen to... I love her brother's quote. You are a great interviewer... you show great respect and interest and I love that. Thank you for the videos. You know how to make smoothly, happy videos.

[@JaxNoodle]

Absolute lovely tour of this nursery. Epi(s) are so under-rated plants. They do well in my place where winters are sooooo dry. So relieved to learn from Katy that it takes about 3 years on average for these green gurrrrls to bloom. Only 1 in my collection is at that age! May this be the year! Thank you Patadendron.

[@celeste1228]

Hi Woody! I love your passion - and the flowers are GORGEOUS!!

[@vivikawax9516]

Hi woody! Love seeing you surrounded by what you love

[@timgarner1957]

Ah I so enjoyed this episode! Those plants were very interesting! She reminded me of all the grandmother's I grew up with..I use to tag along with em ..I was hard headed..but somehow plants got to me! Lol..that's were my love affair with plants started. So be patient with older folks they have a lot to teach you! Lol..my words od wisdom! Thanks for inviting us along

[@Patadendron]

Love your words of wisdom and the origins of your love of plants! I got mine from my grandmother as well and now that she’s gone my mom has taken her creativity to the garden with her succulents! Thanks for sharing that with everyone here ❤️

[@rodadelossantos6194]

Thank you so much for letting us get to know Katie...what a wonderful woman and a great nursery!!!

[@christinahallcreative]

I just wanted to say hi to Elwood! His guidance in how to care for my Epi is probably the reason she's still alive! ❤

[@WhistleintheWind]

So sweet!

[@tammyswauger7470]

What a nice lady and a great nursery thanks for sharing

[@dlittle7983]

What an amazing nursery and a very kind lady. I will take a look at her website. ❣️

[@lindaedwards4632]

Thank you for the nursery tour. I had no idea there were so many types of orchid cacti 😀🇨🇦

[@Mixtonebaby]

what a wealth of information on these beautiful plants. Hi Elwood!

[@dai12nao]

Wow I never see I video like this one and this type of plant not all nurseries have them.Thanks so much I loved and she is adorable.

[@captain_slang]

those flowers are incredible

[@kerijackson8322]

Luv ❤ the field trip !!! Thanks 😊 🪴💦😎

[@kerrymcallistee3418]

These e plants have some beautiful blooms. I have a Queen of the knight. The original ended up freezing many years ago. Now have about a six inch plant from a cutting. They do root easily. I have enjoyed this plant for many years and have sha the cuttings. Thanks for sharing.

[@LivingWaterChurchSD]

Really cool- great work Elwood and the rest of the team!

[@WhistleintheWind]

Thank you!!!

[@wicksworld697]

Howdy, Sir Ellwood! 4:40

[@jamieschriver4813]

I think this might be my most favorite video yet! Katie was great, I loved listening to her stories. I used to have a big red epi years ago, they are such beautiful plants. Great video Patrick, thank you.

[@newmanmansell760]

Hi Patrick😌🙌I enjoyed seeing all the Epiphyllums and the blooms are gorgeous🥰I'm sure Katy had a great time talking with you😌🙏 have 2 Epiphyllums: one has white flowers and the other is called German empress that has pink flowers.

[@Patadendron]

Oooh that German Empress one sounds cool!! Thanks for watching Newman! 🫶🏽🫶🏽

[@cartermoss5666]

This is great! Woody and crew do a great job. Very informative and inspiring. People should definitely go visit this hidden gem of a nursery!

[@Chu760Dawg]

Hi Woody!!! Thank you for helping me gain a deeper appreciation of nature!

[@LeTangoNoir]

Amazed you only left with one plant! That was epi heaven with so much variety! Such a lovely owner too; I'm glad you were able to interview her.

[@venehamilton7010]

You are right in saying "this is special " because it truly is special, a whole nursery dedicated to epiphyllum. My first one is a Queen of the night; didn't know it is collectible. I will give it more respect from now on. It is about 5 feet tall and just as wide and I haven't given it all the love it deserves.

[@Patadendron]

Your Queen of the Night sounds incredibly impressive! ❤️❤️

[@barbarataylor6979]

Oh so happy to have viewed this one. She's such a an interesting person and shared some great wisdom. I will share this with my brother Strafe.

[@jung.forever.]

This is awesome. Last year I got a cutting from a 60 year old plant, it was a lady's grandfathers Epiphyllum. I need to keep track of the years I have it.

[@Patadendron]

Yes you do! I love how these plants are so resilient! Each one holds so much history 😍

[@christopherbolling4073]

Great video and thank you for sharing. Such a wealth of knowledge and priceless opportunity

[@JaredWood0l0]

This was really special. Ty.❤

Maassaallah size komşu olmayı çok isterdim.Turkiyeden selam

[@Patadendron]

What kind words! Thank you for watching! 🫶🏽

[@lynnmartin1548]

This is wonderful! I have enjoyed seeing the entire collection of orchid cactus plants but my favorite part of this is the interview that you were able to do with Katie. This can be called a mini documentary/historical record, right?

[@Patadendron]

Thank you so much! I feel so lucky to have been able to experience this and share it with everyone ❤️

[@venehamilton7010]

Love this video. About a year ago I took an interest in epiphyllum, but haven't seen any recent postings . Thanks for sharing.

[@nancycarrera5698]

Wow they are beautiful 😍 I need the address please

[@Patadendron]

I have their website in the description. I believe in-person shopping is by appointment only right now but you can just give Katie a call to make an appointment. Info is all on the web 🫶🏽🫶🏽

[@linnettecesareo6621]

❤

[@garygilliam1890]

Can I buy some of these

[@Patadendron]

Absolutely! All on the website.
