Best ever visual and audio presentation of these plants I have ever seen. Thank you

[@ayesoe4558]

You know, I really excited to see some of the rare and exotic plats in your video. Thank you so much your effort to post for everyone.

[@jackrusselpupper1979]

I am so glad I'd happenstance found this channel. The KZbin truly is an incredible place that contains just about everything we can think of it not think of! It has helped my family so much, from the numerous "how to" to the educating about the things that we have one time or another wondered about. Far better than just reading an encyclopedias but to actually see it is just amazing! It may not have begun like so, but what it's become is truly magical! Now, our family relies on it to learn things and for everything about life 's trivials. It has made us very knowledgeable and our family absolutely can not do without! Thank you to The KZbin creators and it's content creators. Truly the most helpful site ever!

[@chucktaylor4958]

What a wonderful world we inhabit.

[@miaahmad-dh7er]

Hi .. just want to correct something here . the postage stamp that was shown on this video is not an Indonesian stamp but Malaysian. I am from East Malaysia which is situated in the Island of Borneo. Our rainforest do have a lot of this Rafflesia flower.

[@son_60han]

What postage stamp ? The stellar eureka ?

[@StellarEureka]

Thanks for pointing that out! Indeed, I realized afterward that I mistakenly used a Malaysian stamp instead of an Indonesian one, and it’s clearly stated on it. It’s great to learn that you’re from East Malaysia, home to the magnificent rainforests where the Rafflesia flower thrives. I appreciate your correction and your insight. Thank you for watching and contributing to the accuracy of the content!

[@deyeezchanel2763]

Di Indonesia pun banyak tumbuh bunga raflesia. Kalau tumbuhan. Bunga2 an. Pohon2 dan buah2 an itu tak bisa di klaim oleh satu negara yah. Karena tanaman itu bisa tumbuh di mana aja. Dan bukannya bunga nasional malaysia itu bunga raya..?? Dan bunga raflesia arnoldi adalah bunga nasional Indonesia yang di temukan oleh orang Belanda ber nama raffles..

[@debracisneroshhp2827]

They are all amazing in their own rite! However, I am most fascinated by the 'bee orchid', the 'ghost orchid' and, ESPECIALLY, 'udumbara'__going to do some homework on that one! 😱🌱🌿😛😺 Thank you for this awesome collection of Mother Nature's weird and wonderful! 🙏😇✨💫🌱🌿🌻🐝🌳🌎💖🙌😺

[@StellarEureka]

I’m so glad you enjoyed the collection and found inspiration in the beauty of Mother Nature’s creations! Thank you for your appreciation, and I hope your ‘homework’ on these wonders brings you even more awe and insights into the natural world!

[@Momcat_maggiefelinefan]

My best friend worked in Southeast Asia for four years. On an organized nature walk for the Canadian workers … research chemists … the group came upon a blooming Corpse Flower. He told me it smelled like a garbage can left out in the sun … I gather that’s an accurate description. Enormous, beautiful, but at a great distance. 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦

[@angieschroeder1811]

THANK YOU, JUST LOVED THIS

[@aixagarcia5665]

Hello very interesting I love flowers and plants and the trees wao impressive

[@judithhope8970]

I have a Metasequoia glyptostroboides aureum in my east Essex garden, UK, and I have to say I love it. It is so vibrant in each season changing beautifully. It is hardy in my cold exposed garden, doing really well in heavy clay. I would definitely recommend it. I wish I could also grow a fabulous baobab.....but mustn't be greedy.

[@hina-ta4408]

Wow beautiful flower's ❤❤❤❤😊

[@christineMaccallum-uo3qx]

I appreciate the viewing and thanks very much 😊❤

[@tracarussell9810]

My Queen of the Night plant has gotten huge. She hasn't bloomed in 2 years. I will be patient 😌. Our Praying mantis moved right in on her with all her " arms to climb on and hang upside down. I have 3 air plants growing great on her. I think the daily misting of the air plants and praying mantis ( Vera) is why she has gotten so large. I don't water her soil but twice a month. I value this plant so much. Thank you ⚘️ for this video, most enjoyable!

[@cubessopranista8772]

A lot of these plants are present in the Philippines 🇵🇭. Wow!

[@caitchri2426]

I was looking for someone else to say they had one! I got mine for like, less than 30 dollars a few years ago. It's huge. easily 5 ft in length. Blooms a hundred flowers a season. Yeah, i love it. But i must ask?? is it really that rare?? Really that reverenced? A "once in a lifetime" sight? I mean... ya'll can come to my house to see it... lol

[@Lucas-Greenhouse]

The Queen of the night cactus (Selenicereus grandiflorus) isn’t rare at all, at least in cultivation. I mean it’s a common gardencenter plant and easy propagated by stemcuttings (try it yourself and give them away to other people). But the fact that it isn’t hard to find and grow shouldn’t minder the excitement for the blooms! 🌸 At least, they are by far the biggest cactus blooms in the world and a spactacle nonetheless ✨

[@user-bi6yp8kp9w]

The corpse flower…. just beautiful in its own right… there is a beauty in all things and if one looks hard enough it shall be found… I’m sure !!

[@lur9017]

The music got too loud at times! Otherwise wonderful video!

[@StellarEureka]

Thanks for your kind comment! Do you mind pointing out where it gets too loud? I will try to fix it

[@lur9017]

It was only a couple times. I thought the video was wonderful thank you. I shouldn't have said anything. Keep up the good work!

[@StellarEureka]

@lur9017 spotted them indeed! It has to do with the video editing software that I use and a setting that I forgot to set it those segments. Pinky promise that it won’t happen on the next one 🙏🏻

[@ChristaFree]

Is there a seed source for any of these? Particularly the endangered ones?

[@StellarEureka]

Absolutely, your interest in seed sources for endangered species is crucial for conservation efforts. It’s worth mentioning that while seed banks play a vital role in preserving plant biodiversity (there are many across the globe) not all endangered plants can be saved this way. Many trees and other plants have seeds that don’t survive the traditional drying and freezing processes used in seed banking. This challenge has spurred the search for alternative methods to protect these vulnerable species, emphasizing the importance of supporting seed banks and their innovative efforts in plant conservation. As of today, about 8% of trees and plants can not be saved if they go extinct with existing preservation methods

I see bee orchids in my area. Bought seeds for dragons blood tree and Puya from china but most seeds from china do not germinate at all. Managed to grow baobab but later died from summer heat. Travellers palm is sold here but it doesnt tolerate frost. So we are bound by natures course. Yet I wonder if wollemi pine seeds are available.

[@glennchristie2316]

Sorry… I can’t pick any specific plant as a favorite. You picked these 25 for a reason and I know why.. They are each totally unique.. I do admit - I kinda favor the “Bug Eaters.” How clever..

I used to have a corpse flower, died though. I came home from work and the whole flat stank...didn't know about the 'scent' of the flowers then. I looked everywhere for the source of that horrendous smell, maybe the neighbours? 😂. I let my nose guide me and finally found the source/flower. Really nasty 😂. Mine wasn't so big though?! About 10 cm across

[@randybyrd4444]

Anyway dropped wet . Weight, about 7lbs. Apeice. Weight hole around 14 lbs. Witha spike on each section.. If dropping from the heights of a 10 story building more or less ,if you walked under it when it dropped. It could knock you out.
