You know Joe, I never thought of it that way but you are so right! I feel like Russians are just like us in so many ways. Before Dan I thought all Russia hated us. It is governments that portray the hate, not the people. It is all from getting to know Dan and Susie.Dan is a Peace ✌️ Maker

There is a group of people from a certain nomadic desert tribe. They live in every country, but call their desert nation thier home. These people seek to cause division between nations and amongst peoples. They want to destroy Russia because it will not let them control its central bank. The amount of wealth that can be had by charging a country interest to use its own money is enormous. This is what world wars are fought over.

Yes, as others said, that waxy tree with the “eggs” is probably a magnolia. When the “eggs” bloom they’ll be huge white flowers. They’re beautiful but also symbolize mourning, like when someone dies. The bushes with the pink flowers earlier in the video, that Suzi smelled, might be oleanders. If that’s what they are, be careful! They cause skin rashes and are poisonous if eaten! Thanks for the great video! I remember the Sochi Olympics but not how beautiful that city is! 😊🥰

Perhaps different varities bloom and fruit at different times. My Magnolia tree blooms in the spring, goes to seed pod in Summer and towards winter the bright red seeds come out of the pods. It is an evergreen tree meaning it keeps it's leaves year round. They are very numerous here in the southeast USA. The Magnolia is my favorite tree.

The dragon egg plant is indeed a Magnolia. Probably a Magnolia Grandiflora (Southern Magnolia in the States, I think). I'd need to see the bark, flowers in bloom, and a close-up of the leaves to be certain. There are some very similar looking magnolias in that region.

Dan, at 17:32, you're pointing to a magnolia tree. Like the pine tree, they are evergreen trees. The "dragon egg" is a cone from the magnolia. This is my official state tree, and we have them all around us naturally growing. They can get to be as large as a great oak, and grow very slowly. The one you're noticing is actually quite an old tree. I love magnolia trees. Children love to climb them. The large, white flower of the tree is very fragrant and beautiful. It looks like part of my home was planted in Sochi! Lol.

[@tiabiamama]

The smell of a Magnolia tree is beautiful!

[@possumhunter1179]

@@tiabiamama It is. Our State government planted one on a main highway here in memory and honor of my grandfather. A very great and old magnolia tree formed a natural bridge across a river/creek on a trail close by. It would flower on both ends as the branches grew, while the trunk was the bridge. I used to cross it when I was young, and my grandfather used it when he was a boy, 90 years ago. Some trees are very special. I think the magnolia is one of those types.
