'He was the son of his mother' 🤣 I loved every minute of this ❤️

[@jake6681]

I need this quote on a shirt 😂

[@hollypuckett3931]

@@jake6681 I'll wear it 😝🙌

[@lari_mfreire]

I'm a brazilian biologist and for us he is almost a God. Thanks to him we have an amazing botanic garden here in Rio. Thanks for the video! 🥰

[@datchaanimalsheltermoldova1980]

Wow, I learn something cool every day!

[@tate4783]

Is it HIS garden? Did they turn it into a public garden? This is fascinating!

[@XxPRLoverxX]

You must have been saying his name the right way up until now! Burle in french is pronounced without the «ee» at the end… If it was written Burlé, it would be «Burlee» like you’re saying it in this vid, but the name isn’t written with the accent 🤔 Edit: Also, that being said, this video was interesting! The Burle Marx Fantasy just went a biiiiit higher up on the wishlist 🤩

[@viktoriabackeus7610]

Ideas for future vids: - Pilea peperomioides history and what's the connection with Norway? - How Geranium isn't Geraniums (anymore and hasn't been for 200+ years or so) - Zonartics and the "race" towards breeding a yellow "Geranium" - How Venus Flytap went endangered in the wild [the podcast Criminal has an episode on it, I think it's between 3-25ep, could be wrong but it's in the beginning of that podcast's history] - How a lot of scientific plant names are insults of the person they were named after - That the scientifc names also quite often describe the plant (it's not just named to be named)

[@chloekrause5984]

Girl omg this was actually really freaking cool. Your last story on Burle Marx Fantasy…I love it. That’s incredible! You have taught so many people new things! Thank you for being this type of influencer !

[@stellalang5394]

I wrote a 10 page research essay last semester on marantaceae for school I could email it to you if you wanted to make a video on marantaceae genus !!

[@gabriellecuevas7047]

I freaking loved this!! Geeking about the history of houseplants YES

[@spamanthabee]

👏🏻 PLEASE 👏🏻 NEVER 👏🏻 STOP 👏🏻 THIS 👏🏻 SERIES 👏🏻

[@stellalang5394]

You should make a podcast on the history of houseplants 🪴🪴🪴

[@leiabeanie]

I love this! Also, the botanists all naming plants after each other is adorable

[@debilunstroth3505]

As a retired landscape designer and graduate of Washington State University Landscape Architecture dept I want to thank you 💕 for highlighting my hero! He was my inspiration for many of the landscapes I designed. My goal is to collect as many Burle Marx plants as I can. I always wondered why no one elaborated on him when discussing the plants. Well done!

[@yadiraz2037]

Something about the history of anthuriums would be super cool :)

[@wyatthursey148]

It think you should do one covering the Hoya genus!

[@maddhappy2286]

Yesss more houseplant history! This makes me want a burle marx fantasy so much more, what a magical plant

[@doravaughan237]

the energy in this intro 💜💜💜 thank you

[@tracysullivan7913]

OMG totally love this. Now when I look at my recently aquired B.M.Fantasy I have a little knowledge of it's history. Thanks and looking forward to the next one.

[@kitanachesley1222]

I love your history series! It’s so cute that they name plants after each other (botanists)

[@kim_bucha]

AHH I suggested this on your last houseplant history video and I'm so glad you made a video about it! I remember (back before I was "collecting" plants and just had plants) seeing an advertisement on the Subway for a Burle Marx exhibition at the NYCBG. Once I started hardcore collecting it was so bizarre to see his name everywhere, now I know why!

[@kim_bucha]

Sidenote: I studied Landscape Architecture in university (it is my minor) and had never seen his work until today, so I can say with 100% confidence that my professors dropped the ball on this one bc wow

[@laurenervin1404]

I get embarrassingly excited for these videos🤓😆

[@rekavitz6473]

these are by faaar my favourite plant-related videos. i learned so much from the pothos/epipremnum video...and this is also sooo informative. loved it so much!

[@robinhavens695]

I LOVE your houseplant history videos!!!!!!!!!

[@mschm1344]

I’m studying landscape architecture in uni and Roberto Burle Marx is a huge inspiration for my design 💚 thank you for this video it was fun learning more about him!!

[@DesireeStamat]

Just found you today. Digging the plant history stuff. I am new to rare plants, but heard of this guys art.

[@nannybannany]

Thank you for this!! SO many plants are named for people. I didn't even know until I took a couple horticulture/botany classes and realized Begonias are named for an actual dude! Michael Begon!

[@lindaholder2222]

That was wonderful Ashley

[@janetshepherd9062]

Wow!! This was so so good and interesting. More more more!!

[@Kknah91]

Great video idea! Such an interesting topic, would be down to watch more plant history vids 👍👍

[@stacieforesi5431]

Love some houseplant history!!

[@doradevay1256]

Loving this series soo much! Very here for a Hoya history

[@reygenbougen_861]

I would *die* for a video like that about Rhipsalis, Peperomias or Scindapsus Thank you so much for this AMAZING videos! I love it sooo much!

[@PlantingAshley]

Awesome ill put that down!

[@suekuly4723]

Always nice to get a history lesson.🙌🏻. Enjoyed this. Thank you.

[@emilymichels1109]

Woah!! I just got a burle marx fantasy two weeks ago, and I had researched a bit about Burle Marx himself but I didnt know the origin of the fantasy! Its so cool to think its a descendent from his garden. This video was so interesting thank you!!

[@PlantingAshley]

Thank you so much for watching :)

[@marissalatricepoetry6692]

thank you so much for doing this video Ashley, this was so interesting! I really love these types of videos, they are so unique in the plant community!

[@PlantingAshley]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@silverc.8105]

@0.21 seconds in Me: *aggressively pauses and starts hunting down people who told I was saying it wrong like 3 years ago*

[@sabrinamill720]

So cool! Loved this 🌱

[@Lau3464l]

as a european jew whose family lived in brazil during the same time as Burle Marx, this is a very cool video and i'm so glad you made this!

[@ssamuraii00101]

loved the video! we study a lot about him in landscape architecture, so interesting 💚 I'm from Brazil and I loove your channel ❤️

[@kathleenlewis324]

Oh..I loved this🌻perfect sweety

[@StitchesbySharonH]

This is so cool!!! I love this series!!! How interesting! Thank you for sharing! 💜💚🪴

[@agneslazarenko2653]

That's such a great video, thanks! I'd love you to teach us about the guy Warszczewicz the calathea and the philodendron are named after

[@jasminepatel2691]

This was so interesting! Thanks for the education Professor Ashley!

[@jeanneorr7838]

I love your informative info

[@pamom42]

Thanks for this fascinating topic, Ashley! Definitely share more of your interest in plant history, please! I had planned to do some research on BurleMarx myself, and now I can do so with a bit of preparation and background , thanks to you! I think you can probably just pick any subject that has captured your imagination, and produce a video that would successfully appeal to your followers! I’m really glad you’re a KZbinr!

[@blakea.e.1681]

Best videos literally anyone has ever thought of, I agree you could make a successful podcast from this subject

[@nutmeg33]

I love your houseplant history vids! I too have been saying Burle Marx wrong 😑

[@Holly-Pocket]

I am always so impressed with your research skills. Now I want one.

[@j-max]

Great video!, love the information!

[@caydenbrewer6927]

So interesting! Love houseplant history!💖

[@MarciaFenwick]

I’m really into these deep dive type videos. Really levelling up my plant knowledge! Would have loved more photos of the other varieties.

[@PlantingAshley]

More to come!

[@LucasEY]

This was so cool!!! I'm obsessed with this houseplant history series, thanks for doing it! As another topic, it could be cool to just pick a genus of plant and look into the history of 5 different popular species within it (when, how, and by whom they were discovered, how they got into global trade markets, etc).

[@xiibalba1685]

This is so interesting!!

[@brookea8496]

Love these videos! Also you and Chris look so cute in the back

[@audreywarner653]

You should look into McColley, he mad a ton of hybrids

[@PlantingAshley]

Thank you, i will!

[@notverynotoriousg5674]

That whole old school Florida hybrid culture is a world of its own, I got to meet a couple of them in the 90s, they would show up to sell plants at shows. I think that is pretty much long gone, all the hybrids were patented, now they just grab a sport and make tissue cultures. They would develop hybrids and make sure they were stable, very different now. I think Bob McColley made the hybrid P Florida, and ghost and beauty are sports from P Florida.

[@kungfucandy]

This is awesome!

[@caleeas7552]

❤️🪴💚 Can you do a Houseplant History video on Hoya’s?

[@jessicaturner9685]

Yayy houseplant history!!!

[@kspence5300]

That was interesting!

[@caitlinenc5429]

Do something like cacti vs euphorbia!!

[@reecehalpern3721]

I LOVE THESE TYPES OF VIDEOS

[@leahwalker9868]

I love these videos! It would be great, no, awesome to learn about the calathea species, always good to know your enemy 😏🪴. Thanks for sharing!

[@daniellevy609]

Could u cover the history of bonsai

[@tate4783]

Someone check on that one dislike. Are they ok? This was great! My two favorite subjects. ☺️

[@ilianatorres6630]

I would love to hear more about Anthuriums .

[@PlantingAshley]

Ill look into it!

[@ccmunrocc514]

ORCHID HISTORY is so interesting and very extensive. And also rooted in misogyny. Very interesting. Women were forbidden from owning orchids because the flower shapes were considered too "sexually suggestive".

[@PlantingAshley]

Ya ive heard about this

[@aghhplants5026]

I love the history of plants so much. I hate that most of it went undocumented, and we have no idea of all the cool plants that have been lost.

[@victoriaolsen6353]

History of Tissue culture 🌱🌱🌱
