Finally Picked-Up a Wishlist Plant!!!

[@SuperManning11]

Another great video, Patrick! Here’s a story for you: When I lived in LA, in K-Town, I had a Norfolk Island Pine in my front yard that was taller than my two-story house. I had a little kitten that I had found crossing Wishire Blvd by himself - when he learned that he could climb trees he went straight for the Norfolk Island Pine with its single trunk that goes straight up. Coming down was not something he had figured out yet. I seriously thought about calling some hot firemen to come get him down, but decided that I could get him myself. Seriously, I almost killed both of us by going so high that the trunk was bent and ready to break. Through lots of coaxing and many scratches from the needles of the pine, and with a growing audience of folks that thought they were going to witness a terrible accident, I finally got him down and he lived happily for another 22 years!!

Hi Patrick! Could it be that you and Joe are tying the knot soon and the Nordic pine is a symbol of your love?

[@Patadendron]

Enjoy your Norfolk Island Pine. My parents also had one. Can take very low humidity, I grew up in Minnesota, where the cats' fur stood up in the wintertime from low humidity static.🤪

Norfolk is an Island colony of Australia. They use aussie dollars and Queensland subsidize their Health care. Beautiful small island.

[@Patadendron]

That’s an interesting fact! I hope to visit and explore all of Australia someday 😍

[@Raven82024]

@@Patadendron let me know when you come and visit Patrick. You're welcome to stay at my place 🥰. I'll take you around my favorite plant shops and take you to some of my collector friends.

[@bogi10181]

I love Norfolk Pines. So pretty!

[@Kat-mf7mt]

This place is my day trip dream! I could spend a whole day there!

[@erikm8372]

13:23 used to be called _Aloe variegata_ but apparently it’s now unique enough to earn its own genus, _Gonialoe_ 😉 Two other similar plants are in the genus as well.

[@erikm8372]

Common name ‘Partridge Breast Aloe’ or ‘Tiger Aloe’ (for all three species) including _Gonialoe dinteri_ and _Gonialoe sladeniana_

[@sharae1462]

[@janwells2199]

Oh my goodness Pat! I have been saying campanula wrong all these years. I've said "cam-PAN-yoo-lah". I heard you say "cam-puh-NOO-la" so looked it up on google pronounce. Sure enough, you are right. --- learn something every day!
