Thanks to the Toronto Cactus and Succulent club for allowing me special access to video this two day event. I hope I got all the show plants on video, if I did miss some it wasn't intentional!
An excellent show, thank you for your hospitality!

The soundtrack makes it feel like we are voyaging on an alien planet, and that's basically what most of these succulents look like: plants from another world.

I looooooove the caudiciform succulents trained as bonsai, Adeniums are some of my favorite, I have one, though it's not really trained as a bonsai, it flowers beautifully every late spring/early summer and I just love it to bits. It's going to flower super soon in fact, when I checked on it yesterday one of the buds was starting to open!

I liked the different soil coverings used, especially the tiny pebbles(someone even used charcoal). I'm guessing the lines were'nt as atrocious as they looked, because 75 people admitted at a time. Still drooling over your quick pass though! Visitor or vendor fun. This one goes on my Wish List of Events and Places. Thanks for taking us along Nigel!

I bought a Rode VideoMic Pro plus. It comes with a ten year warranty! I was using it today and I'm really happy with it. It turns on when the camera turns on and turns off with the camera also! It comes with a USB rechargeable battery that lasts 70 hours. The sound is much, better than the previous Rode VideoMic Go. The only drawback is the price, I paid 375 dollars at Henry's. My last mic was 185. I'm trying to get the greenhouse under way this week, I'll be building half an arch, so there will be a wall with the door and the arches will arch from the top of the wall towards the ground. I have been collecting the Yew tree from the back yard and I have to pot it up tomorrow, spring is always too busy!

Hey Nigel, always nice to watch your videos! What about that Cercis Siliquastrum there at 0:40 . If i may ask for some seeds, i really like that tree and havent found any nearby(South Amerika, Brazil. Thanks

It’s probably Cercis canadensis. C. siliquastrum would not be fully hardy in Toronto.

Beautifull thx for sharing. I only have a question does the community know what the name of the plant at 20:45 is the one behind the one in focus? I hot one of those potatoe plants and want to bonsai it but can’t do any research without the name :/

Thank you for the video. I wonder why nobody had ever made a bonsai out of a plumeria. How is your plumeria bonsai doing? I would love to see how it turns out this year.

Great video, enjoyed watching it, but had to turn the sound off because of that annoying background music - but that meant I also missed out on all the comments. Why, or why put such utterly annoying, electronic, repetitive music behind a video that is supposed to be a relaxing experience?
