Plants You Won’t See Anywhere Else!! EXQUISITE and UNIQUE 🪴 Collection of Mr Kunzo in Japan 🇯🇵

I’m in Japan, and I’ve come to explore Mr Kunzo’s extraordinary nursery - which is filled with exquisite and unique plants collected from every corner of the world. In his crammed greenhouse, nearly every genus imaginable is represented.
Bedazzling colors greet us at every turn, as climbing tropical epiphytes and curious desert plants fight for our attention. We run into unusual colorways, variegation, and forms of plants that we thought we knew everything about…
This episode celebrates Mr Kunzo’s decades of obsession with plant collection. It reminded me of how wonderfuly diverse the world is, and the immense beauty that nature provide.

[@onlyplants]

[@bdaly03]

Only 729?!? I think I’m well over 1,000 lmao jk but not really, I guarantee he had 1,000 I would love to own at some point in my life lol!!

[@xcthemikexc]

Another great video Sean! I don’t think there is anyone else who could bring the collection of Kunzo to us in such a wholesome and respectful manner as you. Thank you for sharing such a collection with us. 😊

[@jksprouts]

Thank you! I grow my plants literally on the other side of the world, in the UK. It's so interesting to see what's different, what's the same and also the different way of appreciating plant life. My family laughed when I used a gnarled, twisted branch from the garden for my Tetrasperma to vine. I think it's beautiful. Now I feel vindicated! 💚

[@janecurtis5726]

Thank you for another video of Mr. Kunzo’s greenhouses. I will never tire of seeing his amazing collection of plants. The plants that look like little ruffled cabbages on sticks are ornamental kale. They are used frequently as autumn decor in the garden or in container plantings in cool climates.

[@onlyplants]

They do look like winter-loving plants. I wonder if they are edible… 😅

[@janecurtis5726]

@@onlyplants They are edible but since they were bred for ornamental value alone the foliage is not very flavorful.

[@nackedgrils9302]

I like how you highlight the use of dead plant material in Kunzo-san's Ikebana. I don't know anything about Ikebana but I've read a little bit about the art of Japanese Gardens and, apparently, leaving a dead tree to rest on a living one or to highlight a dead tree stump can be a fundamental in certain types of garden. Juxtaposing elements of life and death is not only good for your plants' ecosystem because it allows the cycle of life to perpetuate by natural composting but it also brings visual and conceptual balance. When it's done with plants it makes me feel peaceful, it's one of the main reasons why I love forests so much. You know when you go so deep in the forest that there's no sign of human intervention to be found? I think my long-term life-goal is to slowly study Japanese Gardens so that I can realize one when I can afford to buy some land and a house down the line... yeah, that would be nice.

[@onlyplants]

Thats a good goal to have 😀.

[@PaletteBegonia]

Your right , he’s definitely one of a kind with a collection this pristine & diverse. It’s awesome to see someone with such a vast selection & everything’s kept perfectly healthy & even the heavily mutated individuals aswell. Do you know if he’s made any of his own hybrids ?? He definitely should if he hasn’t, would be insane to see the magic he comes up with !!!

[@onlyplants]

He does not pollenate, but he does hunt for hybrids and abberant forms worldwide and he goes to great lengths! Its admirable.
