[@Venus_LakeandSky]

I love him, so humble! Very enthusiastic about all kinds of plants! I’m glad you allow him to do 90% of the talking 👍 I admire his insight on collection. Such a great video, one of my faves.

[@onlyplants]

He's so passionate, and I'm glad people get to see it!

[@youdontevengrowhere]

Sean, the level of commitment needed to do all this moving camera work in the extreme heat needs to be recognized 👏🏼👏🏼 been looking forward to this episode!

[@Timissai]

He is so knowledgeable ! Thank you for the share

[@Racing_Society]

Doc Block is a wonderful man. I can’t tell you how crazy it is to live in a time where he will teach us. He is the sweetest. I’m so glad you interviewed him. I could listen to him for hours!!

[@plantoisme465]

What a legend ❤ love this one very much Sean. Thanks for sharing it 🌹🙏

[@onlyplants]

You’re welcome! He’s truly one of a kind.

[@discingaround]

DANG! A Kunzo interview, AND a Doc Block?! Sean, you're truly primo plant lover content. Thank you so much for your extensive research, your respect towards plants, and your fantastic content. LOVED this video!

[@ManoharJairaj]

That pony tail palms is a work of art...

[@onlyplants]

Yeahhh

[@marleneprescod8494]

Thanks Sean and that very educational meeting with the expert doctor, he really is very knowledgeable about all his plants and even more. That trip to Florida was well worth it Sean. Thank again for sharing❤

[@LeafyConversations]

I just love Dr. Block he’s so knowledgeable and he loves to share it. Thanks Sean for doing this video!

[@ingozielcabra]

This garden you show us is incredibly beautiful, especially the plant at min. 9:29, with 35 years of care by Dr. Block, it is a work of art worthy of a very exclusive collection of plants. Thank you as always for bringing us this type of video and delighting our eyes with so much beauty. My respects to Dr. Block and to you for your great content.

[@elpidakessapidou7361]

Wow, what a great start for 2025, Sean. This is one of the most interesting videos I 've ever seen. Dr. Block is amazing, with all this beautiful collection and the knowledge that he shared with us. Thank you both of you Sean, I'm looking forward to your next video.

[@Tminus89]

I can listen to this man for hours.. and would never be able to stop taking pictures in his garden 😆 You'd have to drag me out

[@onlyplants]

😀😀 I actually spend a lot of time there. He is quite the story teller and educator at heart.

[@Tminus89]

​@@onlyplants Lucky you 😄

[@brocktoon8]

: O : O : O !!! Oh my goodness, what an absolute wealth of information this man is! I feel like I should be taking notes, I'd love to take a class if he would teach it! Or just follow him around and learn! Amazing . . and I love his philosophy about being a guardian to the plants. Beautiful!

[@onlyplants]

He is the perfect teacher type! Learnt so much

[@moiraslater8526]

I'm an anaesethic nurse and plant collector of many years and this was fascinating and so well presented. Thank you both.

[@erinsaunders898]

I'm only 6 minutes in and just amazed at the beauty and the detailed information being provided. This is such an amazing video Sean. Thank you for sharing! 💜

[@timgarner1957]

Doc is da man! When I grow up I wanna be just like him! Lol 😂. Love he's philosophy!!! Umm, halfway through video. . I realize your talent..other KZbin host have interviewed Doc..but between your camera work and making it more personal..turns into a great episode! Thank you for your great work! Dang you were busy when you were in the states!

[@onlyplants]

I filmed I think 11 episodes… they will becoming up soon ❤️

[@timgarner1957]

@onlyplants oh my goodness! You're a busy person! I can't wait for the other 11 ! Appreciate yah

[@4Azr]

I love Dr Block demeanor and attitude, his knowledge is very impressive. I could listen to him for hours

[@MelodyLeaLamb]

What an incredible treat and gift you have given us, Sean!! Wow. Thank you!

[@ThatGirlShelbyy]

As someone with chronic illnesses and chronic pain, I find it so interesting that he specialized in pain management! Super interesting hearing more about that side of his story 😊 I'd be interested in hearing more about his take on cannabis too since it's one of the main things as a Canadian that helps me control nerve pain, compared to gabapentin etc that I've tried so far 😅 This was a super interesting video!!

[@caseykelson1]

Wow!!! I’ve been waiting for this!!! So so beautiful! Thank you so so much for all the info that came with this beautiful tour!!! That last 10 minute sit down talk was so intriguing!

[@onlyplants]

You’re welcome. Im glad Doc Block opened his doors to me!

[@jdp8969]

Wow, the way he explains things 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@lisaleaves6360]

Wow! Beautiful plants and great information/history. So nice to see these plants growing outside.

[@onlyplants]

Yeah Florida have some of the best gardens!

[@Danthurium]

Sean this was my favorite episode, I learned so much, thought about my plant hoarding habits and enjoyed every second Dr Block was talking.

[@mollys1584]

What a fascinating man and tour! I could listen to him for hours! Thank you Sean! ❤

[@nancytorricella4040]

Wow what a nice visit I really enjoyed this video and the Beautiful collection. Thank you to both of you for this especial treat 😊

[@benjaminmorito1841]

I love how informative he is about plants... He's like my science professor way back in college! 😍

[@MrManlybear]

BRAVO! Very Well Done. Enjoyed it tremendously!💚💚

[@scotthudson1000]

Really great facts, I learned a lot. Dr. Block has a beautiful collection. Seemed like yesterday I watched a plant tour at your home now you are close to my neck of the woods. Love all of your content :)

[@lesliehughes9382]

Great video! Sooooo beautiful - and Dr. Block is a great teacher! :) Thank you, Sean!

[@TheEraLad]

Wonderful video! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@jordanali9386]

This video was so insightful and educational and enlightening all at the same time. What a lovely man his voice was so calming.. and he obviously knows his stuff. Thank you for sharing… I really want to try that lemon sweet thing. I wonder if their is options available to get that same experience.

[@suehubbard7224]

Loved this video ( love all your videos actually) Dr B is so charismatic, he explains everything so well, i feel like i understand 😂😂. So happy for you to have met this man and even happier that you shared with us ❤❤

[@onlyplants]

Thank you. Its my pleasure! I love that my work has positive impact on the world. ❤️

[@wandashaw3551]

Dr. Block is amazing, and so are you for bringing him to us.❤😊

[@corneliaampunan3682]

Amazing, precious knowledge, thank you some much for sharing it!

[@Kaykay-hf5eu]

By far one of your best videos ever. I learned a lot too. Thank you.

[@innerlight10]

This is an awesome touchdown Sean! Enjoyed this episode very much ! So interesting to see another aspect of Dr Block and his fabulous garden beyond his famous hybrids. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@GEOMETRICINK]

I wish I lived in a climate where I could plant anthuriums and philodendron outside. What a dream.

[@wonder_keeper]

Amazing garden... Beautiful conversation between plants and humans.

[@JoyoftheGardenandHome]

19:29 How would you know if it flowers?, since it's hard to see up there. And a million seeds would then scatter across Miami? (I know not a million plants would pop up) Wonderful that these plants survive the hurricanes👏🏽

[@maxxim2934]

Thank you for making this video for us. He is so nice!

[@ParrotplaySix]

Fantastic interview with Dr. Block. Such a nice and intelligent man.

[@Tminus89]

Awesome, will watch this one later. I've seen the place once before in a video from Summer

[@onlyplants]

Yeah I saw Summers too! Love it

[@reeyaland]

Nice video sean..love this episode, so many to learn

[@onlyplants]

You’re welcome ❤️

[@Leafal_plants]

Awesome content!! I eat mainly alkaline foods and plants are given solely rainwater I harvest manually from the spring, and I love the sweet taste in the water and feels smooth

[@melissaafkrichardson9204]

What a garden 😮❤

[@cizerz13]

Best video! Loved learning from doc! Thanks Sean 😁fantastic! 💜🌿🤗

[@Rudy_Lucia]

awesome, thank you for sharing your experience!

[@shaphyshaphy]

Another interesting watch. You never disappoint

[@RoseR7997]

Oh my gosh, what a treat, that was so awesome!

[@Marlur]

Plants really look lovely in Florida. Wow so much knowledge, love all the geekiness. 😊 Time to make lemonade lol 😅

[@SerenaAngel-n3z]

This was very enjoyable and intriguing with start to finish interesting facts and knowledge on so many different areas

[@patriciakraker3763]

Atemberaubende Vielfalt, hat mich einfach nur begeistert dieses Video anzusehen. Danke 🌱

[@eviefriend3976]

This was fascinating! Thank you Sean.

[@onlyplants]

You’re most welcome

[@pigreen7]

Excelente profissional 👏🏻👏🏻 Exemplares maravilhosos A couroupita guianensis é muita linda, é nativa da Amazônia, ela é muito usada como arborização em cidades e praças aqui no Brasil. Ela é conhecida aqui como abricó-de-macaco

[@LatinaPlants]

Omg , this was beautiful! Such a treat to watch !💚😍

[@PetraEmmy]

Sean what an incredible video! Thank you so very much! 🎉

[@northernplantucky]

What an honor and so well done I will be waiting for the next one

[@annafink2245]

Stunning!

[@NickAguilos]

What an amazing episode 🥳 thank you for this

[@fglick1]

So interesting and informative ❤ I love it 🎉 thank you

[@Handyplantguy]

Wow Sean! 🤩 such a nice video!!! Almost ‘too good’ for YT , nice shooting,great editing and a wonderfull story and learnings 💚 Great job 🫶🏼

[@maltygoodness2]

Great interview, Sean. Another gem of a video that can only be found on your channel. A teeny feedback if you don't mind-- maybe you [ or your camera person] were trying to capture a 360 degree view of Doc Block's garden backdrop, but the panning @5:03min made me dizzy for some reason. May I suggest a tripod stand for the longer interviews like this where the interviewee is seated and stationary.

[@venuskonkur4757]

That was incredible 😍

[@onlyplants]

🤤 glad you liked it. Thought this would make a perfect first episode for 2025

[@ProximaCentauri88]

Just the thought of lemons make my mouth water. 🙊😂

[@rsrathod3739]

Amazing content!! Can't wait for the next vedio

[@juliemartineau8299]

Such an interesting and learning episode, TY ! Love love DocBlock and it's perfect Anthuriums hybrids, but selling his Anthurium's Michelle to HomeDepot USA wasn't the greatest idea for us collector...

[@AshleeOMG86]

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS

[@kaybeepal]

Just starting the video ADHD and super excited to learn more

[@mlt1992]

Wow I really appreciate this video ❤

[@GardenArcX]

Lovely! Thanks for sharing amazing place in florida bro.. Maybe someday I will visit. Are you planing to visit Shanghai this year?

[@arleneflowers2954]

Wonderful video

[@Tminus89]

You've probably talked about this before, but I can't remember.. do you water with tap water or rain water yourself? And if it's tap water, do you do anything to lower the pH or is everything growing fine with tap water? It would certainly be a whole extra step for me to measure, drip a pH lowering fluid, measure again every time.. But if it would improve plant health it's certainly something to consider for me

[@onlyplants]

I water with tap water. But every city’s tap water can differ greatly from another. I havent actually measured my pH before

[@RedBeamKano]

Dr boc is a walking plant infomercial, he sounds like as if I just woke up from a bad dream at 3am and left my tv on when I was younger 😝

[@benchuijt]

why does he talk like the kindest school teacher 🥹🥹🥹

[@onlyplants]

Hes a very good educator. I wish he was everybody’s science teacher!

[@MK-dn1ku]

I truly believe he is one of the happiest humans alive

[@steveteske5753]

Hi Sean. Who is artist playing the music and do you know the name of it? Really like it

[@smithmen]

this did not seem, to me, to be your typical style of interview and tour. it lacked the normal 'conversational' aspect of your interviews. would have loved to hear you ask doc questions about his breeding and selling program -- specifically, why he chose to flood the market with Michelles through a big box store, which led previous collector's plants to effectively depreciate overnight. this was a major rollout in USA home depot's and a lot of collectors have thoughts one way or another. also, he wants to reverse breed cannabis to its "glory days' of less THC -- but its not clear why -- in contrast, he chose to selectively breed anthurium to obtain one that would have taken evolution much longer to achieve. again, the highest respect for sean and I love your content, but it seemed your voice was lost in this one.

[@christinefanjoy3738]

Thoroughly enjoyed this, incredibly immersive and educational. Thanks so much for sharing this amazing visit with us. Looking forward to the upcoming anthurium content 🫶 from 🇨🇦

[@onlyplants]

You’re very welcome!

[@candace0869]

WOW

[@onlyplants]

🤤

[@LeafyConversations]

I am not a fan of variegated plants, now I am glad. 😂

[@SusiloUtoyo]

Bismillah.... Pengen punya kebun tanaman apa saja . Kayak mr itu

[@steveteske5753]

I love thirs garden, but I worry it could be destroyed by the increasing number of hurricane hitting the southeast coast

[@eleftheriakarellou]

👏👏👏👏

[@justindavis2292]

If he has seen further, it was by standing on the shoulders of giants.

[@onlyplants]

❤️

[@DaCash_C]

❤❤❤❤

[@iqbalyudisfiari7870]

damn you're lucky sean!! envy u that much

[@onlyplants]

Haha thank you 😅

[@amarilizmarquez9990]

❤

[@acutler4745]

30:15 the Doc is right, different terps, different remedies, but yes, exploited for sure.

[@acutler4745]

28:15 about the only way Michigan is better than Florida, lol.

[@nunyabiz36]

7:01 Can’t watch the video, made me nauseous 🤢 from constantly moving camera while filming. If that’s your new style of filming, I’m not a fan.

[@onlyplants]

Its always been my style. Perhaps a bit more this time because he was so dynamic 😅

[@onlyplants]

I will see if others have other concerns as well

[@hervepartagas2752]

Hi from Paris ! On the contrary : it was like human sight. But maybe, you should have add a few global views of this garden. By the way, I appreciate interviews of specialists, in order to learn about "how it works".

[@4Azr]

Isnt that a sign of motion sickness? I personally don't find anything wrong with filming like that

[@eyotajr]

@@onlyplants its ok but i think you should do it like 30 seconds on not moving the camera then do it slowly and smothly move the angel only like for 5 seconds

[@srshufelt]

Pretty much one of the weirdest videos I've ever seen from both of you. I'm sorry but so very weird. . . So very weird.

[@smithmen]

@srshufelt riiiight?? I am totally confused by this interview. awkward. didn't even come close to addressing what he's actually known for -- and that makes me question the authenticity. not on sean's part -- i suspect the other half did not want to address it in light of the Michelle saga.

[@JamesORyan-q5r]

hybridiser. As I said, it is proved that I don't care about plants.

[@JamesORyan-q5r]

Yes, ofcourse, but it is proven*, counter to intuition that all contingent culture is psychosis. Contingent culture varies without restriction by objective information; I don't care about plants. If we know this and we want to think about conservation subject to this proof then deep problems arise. * the compound mind is the mind. We may not be able ever to know inside reason what we are and what we do, but since paradox is - if we refuse the falsification of data - then all routes into the problem of understanding what the mind is doing are valid subject to criticism even if they lead to contradictory conclusions. It IS proved. The contradictions, the describable paradoxical relationship between conclusions and the unreachability of INDESCRABABLE paradox are beautiful dissonance. Still it is a just a game since no reasonable man can expect what we think is to really BE what is. A game, but my game is better than yours.
