+Logan Randolph I'm glad you enjoyed it so much and I really appreciate your effort in thanking me! While most of my vids focus on Japan, I hope to get back out to China soon.
Alpine plants are a hoot to see in person, though I wouldn't want to visit those places in winter... BTW, those small Rhododendrons in the Lapponica Subsection are cool to cold growing and pretty easy to buy in most garden centers. R. impeditum is one you can find easily and grows well in areas with cool to warm summers.
With the 95 degree Fahrenheit weather we’ve been having I need to go somewhere alpine. The next time I’m in Pennsylvania or any other northern location I’ll see if I can find any dwarf azaleas for sale. At least I got to see a flame azalea in North Carolina this Spring. Have a great day!
Flame azaleas are wonderful things. If you ever get the chance I also recommend going up on the Blue Ridge Parkway just outside of Maggie Valley, NC to Water Rock Knob in late May to see R. vasyei in flower... it will blow your mind. The day I was there over 25 years ago it was misty rain and they were in full flower with huge drifts of Houstonia caerulea (bluets) carpeting the ground... the experience is still etched upon my mind.
I can imagine the breathtaking beauty just from your description-vibrant orange tones and cool blues. We’ve been near Maggie Valley but never at that specific spot. Thanks for the suggestion! Have a fantastic week!🌿
Love all your videos and your dedication to travel and effort put in the videography. It’s kind of crazy to think about ‘travel’ now, but this video was from 7 years ago. A total different world though. Hope you are safe and keep growing! Would you please offer more video content on caring tips for your lovely mini orchids? I’m obsessed with your Neofinetias.
Yeah, things have changed, and so have I! I will eventually get back into the business of making videos, but probably nothing as ambitious as I've done in the past. If I ever get to a cool place again I certainly will take video and photos. Right now I'm grounded like everybody else. Thanks for the comment and have a look at my other videos - I've got over a hundred by now.
Very nice! I wander if the origin of our Holarctic flora lays in China. Many genera like Primula, Anemone or Pedicularis are also found in Europe. But in China you get much more species then anywhere else.
When I was there in June it was the monsoon season with daily rains, so that makes it cooler. In these high elevation valleys and ridge lines it can be cool even on a sunny day. I'd say the high temperatures were around 20-25 C below 3000 meters, but a bit cooler above that. The day we were at a 4100 meter pass I think the temperature was around 15 C in full sun. Of course in winter it gets very cold, well below freezing.

thank you
this was very enjoyable
especially on a warm night
Thanks for this glimpse of pure natural beauty!
Exceptional images of such a diverse and appealing flora. Many congratulations on such a beautiful piece of work.
Wow, thank you. In fact, I just signed up for a Google/RUclips account just so I could thank you for this.

Fascinating! Really like the dwarf azalea-never requires pruning! These high altitude subshrubs are delightful. 🌸

Your tone was a bit off on 雪. :D Naw, very interesting indeed!
I know nothing about Chinese intonation, I'm just happy to be somewhere in the ballpark.
Please
You know makkan herb ?
How cold is it there O.o
