Pronunciation for kalanchoe is …kă- luhn-kō-ēē…I looked it up 😉. I think it is a regional thing, depending where you live the pronunciation can be different. Love these videos…I am just starting my cactus journey…and loving it! I planted some seeds and oh my goodness, they are germinating! This is some seriously fun stuff!

Great video, tour, and lay of the land! You could easily spend the the whole day, maybe several! While we didnt get as many close ups, your video really was a great macro view of the nursery and gave me a better sense of all that they have. BTW, growing well is often a function of time and practice, so study, start small, and thrive, because if they can, you can! Thanks for taking us on your tours, and pray tell what you ended up buying!😅❤🌵☀️🌺

Some of those pots are so nice it’s hard to believe that they’re included with the plant at those prices. I’ve gotta wonder if someone died and a lot of that was their private collection. I would rather my beloved stuff be sold rather than given away so that it goes to someone that cares about it. Otherwise this place simply is set up to feel like you’re shopping someone else’s collection

It certainly offers a different shopping experience from other nurseries, which I personally really enjoy. It's interesting that you got that vibe. I got to chat with the owner, Gene, for a little bit and mentioned that I haven't seen so many stages plants for sale before. He said that they had just moved a bunch of cold sensitive plants into their winter house, so he ended up staging a bunch of more cold hardy plants to fill up the space left behind. Now to the vibe that you picked up. There's a really nice interview on KZbin done by a local news station where Gene and Jane talk about how they are entering retirement age and the difficulties in transitioning (and whether they want to transition) into life after running a nursery for so many decades. They used to have an online shop which they don't run anymore, and their nursery hours are much more limited than before. So you can kind of see the direction the business is going. Not saying that they'll be going away any time soon but perhaps some of their own precious plants show up on the sale table sometimes.
