The guy who leads the tour is incredible! What charisma, how easily atracts people into his ample knowledge. He must have already converted some children into future researchers. His passion for plants, the sparkle in his eyes, is contagious. A rare talent.
I find it amazing that the Victoria waterlilies open white then turn purple after a certain pollinating beetle gets stuck inside the blossom overnight. The beetle can only escape when the flower opens the next morning, at which time the color change indicates it has been pollinated. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden also has a Victoria lily in it’s conservatory, or at least it did before covid.
I went here at 16 years old. I'm now nearly 70. Thanks so much for this video. I've been to Kew a couple of times. Got to see the amorphalous in bloom.
The historic preservation division of the company I was working for (LMB; Lehrer MacGovern Bovis) contracted the refurbishing of the glass Victorian greenhouse at the NYBG pre-Y2k. Having worked on the proposal/presentation I was aware of the time-intensive method by which each strut of the conservatory had to be painstakingly cast in a sturdy rust-resistant, composite material. First each panel was disassembled, cast, then reassembled to exact spec. I also worked on the proposal/presentation for the re-do of the new(-ish) multi-level conservatory at the BBG in Bklyn, they were very rewarding projects.
I had the pleasure of sitting in on a lecture about orchids at NYBG with Marc. He is so truly passionate about what he does. & is so kind when sharing his knowledge! I absolutely loved this video! 🫶🏾
I’ve always enjoyed my day trips to both the NYBG in The Bronx and the BBG in Brooklyn. In addition to the amazing plant collection the NYBG holds a great plant/orchid show & sale each spring around Easter. They also had/have a fantastic miniature train display every Christmas season.
Summer thank you for brining us on this tour! You did a fantastic job capturing it all. If you were holding the gimbal I bet your arms were whooped! 😂😂😂 This inspires me to tour places in the LA area
Summer-you have inspired me to find these Garden places here in Los Angeles Myself! I have time. And my love for California And Los Angeles’s Mediterranean climate Keep inspiring us!! I will let you know what I discover!!👍🍒🪴🫶🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🍒
Hey Summer, i hope you're happy, i love seeing you live your best life. So im a student again, herbal remedies. I'm excited about building up remedies and concoctions. Have to join a holistic practice eventually. I'm excited about it. Better go do some harvesting. Take care. X.
'Pixie stick' that must be a universal reference. I knew exactly what he was describing. Very cool that the pollen comes out only with the right vibration frequency.
love his presenter voice, what a nice guy as well! and god i wish there was a big glasshouse closer to me in the boston area, next time im in nyc i'm gonna have to visit this place
A fantastic tour of a garden I wished I had visited while in New York many years ago. This video was a very great ending of an entire day spent searching and gathering information on a few more cacti and other desert plants to add to my outdoors container garden here in the Big Bend. Thank you again for a wonderful visit.
Great tour and so informative. I would have liked to see some orchids as well! Summer Rayne sometimes has the tendency to interrupt the speaker in mid sentence to make some comment, still these tours are great and the episode flew by.
I thoroughly enjoyed your latest visit to Victorian NY botanical gardens Marc( spelling mark). Is amazing And as always, so are you. Summer We really enjoy your tours of NY Gardens. I live in Los Angeles But I don’t know if a greenhouse here. Like these fabulous historical gardens Can you find a California greenhouse near me. To visit?
I love your videos so much! I wanted to comment that Aristolochia elegans / Aristolochia littoralis pipevine are poisonous for pipevine caterpillars. I plant dutchman's white vines and a couple other varieties in my garden for them to eat. Please research it and share. Thank you for everything and for getting me through the pandemic too. 💚
OMG!!! I feel validated right now because I had the same experience with my spathiphyllums! I too kept noticing a fragrance around mine and, at first, didn't realize it was my spaths blooms!!! They smell so damn good! But no one would believe me that mine blooms had a fragrance because theirs didn't. Mine don't smell like mint, and I've never smelled a hyacinth. I can't really describe what mine smell like. So why do some have a fragrance while others don't? I gave some divisions away to friends, and their blooms don't smell...even though they came from my mother plants. I don't get it.
The cultivars are monumentally diverse and probably come from slightly different parentage, so I wouldn't be surprised if some of them have picked up smell from their parents!
Is that a nepenthes behind him at 28:48 ??? If it was it was massive! Looks like a big ventrata or something! Why don’t they ever talk about the nepenthes 💔
Each cell in the human body carries a millivolt. Each cell in the body does the same thing, it operates in the same way, it's the coding that's different. A cell either receives or loses an electron. If cells are e- that's pH 14 if cells is e+its pH 0. You need to balance the electrons in the body for cellular regeneration. Grounding and food mainly. X Body's don't work properly.
I love how passionate, knowledgeable, and straightforward this guy is about his work in the conservatory.

I swear I just read somewhere about the Lily pads, wishing I could see them...and here we are. That guy has the best job in the world 🧡🌿
great timing!

Wow, someone give this guy a show 🤯
He’s very well spoken. Love the tour
I'm in love and I could listen to him all day while learning a lot, he's such a gentle plant daddy!

Marc is spectacular. He was born to do this!
I went here at 16 years old. I'm now nearly 70.
Thanks so much for this video.

This guy is great. I found myself enthralled with his passion and enthusiasm. I'd love to go on a guided botanical trip with him to Columbia.
Beautiful video and great editing! The music choices for this video were perfect! ❤
A great tour! Reminds me of my visit there about 20yrs ago. Those spiny plants are screaming, "Don't Eat Me"! LOL
A man after my heart. His thought on hybrids vs species are exactly my own. Wish I could do this job
Marc is the best!
No photograph could capture the real beauty of the fibre optic plant. It’s mesmerisingly beautiful.
Awesome tour .. you find the best curators .. beautiful place. Thanks for inviting us along

I’ve worked in commercial conservatories, which was as close as I could get to this dream job. Awesome!!
Peace, SRO. Thanks for hitting up the desert rooms. They are my favorite locations at the nybg. You’re the BOMB, gal.
One of the best, amazing guide.
love his presenter voice, what a nice guy as well! and god i wish there was a big glasshouse closer to me in the boston area, next time im in nyc i'm gonna have to visit this place
Wow!!!! Gorgeous!!!
This dude should win the race. "like pile of linguine at the end of the fork"
восхитительно. спасибо за экскурсию.

Preserving The rain forests🌳 seems to be our utmost
Concern.

Beautiful
Mark is awesome
Sympathique jardinier . Très bien .
wow that guy is amazing!
I thoroughly enjoyed your latest visit to Victorian
NY botanical gardens
Marc( spelling mark). Is amazing
And as always, so are you. Summer
We really enjoy your tours of NY
Gardens. I live in Los Angeles
But I don’t know if a greenhouse here. Like these fabulous historical gardens
Can you find a California greenhouse near me. To visit?
God I love watching these conservatory videos.
What an incredible tour I need to go there ASAP while I’m home in Pennsylvania ❤
such an amazing guide!
This botanical garden is almost as nice as the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. Now, that’s a site to see!!
I love your videos so much! I wanted to comment that Aristolochia elegans / Aristolochia littoralis pipevine are poisonous for pipevine caterpillars. I plant dutchman's white vines and a couple other varieties in my garden for them to eat. Please research it and share. Thank you for everything and for getting me through the pandemic too. 💚
Wauu what a great video. I’m surprised that they didn’t have a calathea white star in there
I love Monty Don. From Britain. Maybe in future your can visit a London Victorian greenhouse or garden. With him
I've seen Osa Polca in Tagaytay City, Philippines in orange color
In Brazil. South America.
💚💚💚

Spathiphyllum cannifolium maybe
Or Monty Dons garden. He is very nice

Mark isn’t related to the guy from America’s test kitchen? They sound like they could be brothers!
💚💖💚💖

Legal marijuana here now. One of every strain should be on display at NYBG and consumed, I mean conserved✌🤪
The video is much better focused this time!
