Hey summer! I am 15 years old and have been collecting plants and watching your videos for 2 years now. Collecting plants is such a fun hobby. These are absolutely amazing ❤️. Thank you!
So pleased you're getting inspiration here-and at such a young age!
Look at the pride and happiness on his face. Great collection. So nice to remember his mentor and friends
Summer Rayne is the Indiana Jones of 2019 🤙🏻
And 2020!
And even more of 2021!😊
What a lovely man, especially his generosity re the temples etc. What a heaven to live & work in.
I thought I was crazy about succulents. My mind is blown about the stories and knowledge he has. He is my new role model in succulents
Just love the way Thai speak. So gentle.
The hardscape on that garden is amazing...then add the plants, the rocks and crystals, the statues & brick-a-bract...I just loved it! I hope Home looks at our comments. I just admire him and his efforts so much. I have often thought of plants as sculptural...he put it so succinctly when he referred to them as living art. Also, I concur with Howan Cheng...you are our Plant lady Indiana Jones! Thanks so much for this content.
Very pleased you enjoyed his sensibilities and this video. Glad I'm able to do this!
As per usual, Summer is a genius in her pursuits of bringing her viewers the most incredibly beautiful and rare plants found in the most interesting locations on the planet. Always asking the right questions of her guides to give us a richer experience.
It was a truly wonderful field-trip and I can’t wait to see the rest of his garden. It would, however, have been so much more enjoyable if someone had handed Thai collector a tissue.
I love this series and to hear Home's story. I love his passion, love and generosity surrounding plants. I love that he honors his friend's memory through his plants.
It takes a lot of charm and wit and plant knowledge to engage these plant 'gods' to talk, much more to let you in on their private collections. Even more difficult with the language barrier. You have amazing conversational and social skills, I must say. I love your videos a lot.
Omg, his house is like dream house. The zig zag plan with the bird nest is so amazing and the plan already has thousands babies. That’s so cool. 😍
He spoke with clear enthusiasm. Loved this video. So many unusual plants with caudex.
I love the way this guy says popular
I was about to say that and Madagascar too !
Just the mention of cacti and succulent made me know that I was gonna love this! 😍
He is such an amazing plant collector and has really full knowladge about plants, geography, their homeland etc., every plant collector should have such a friend :)
ive been watching all of these and this is my favorite one, i connect my plants alot to my grief and seeing how he does the same is very comforting
I totally agree and love the idea of viewing plants as the living art forms. His plants are so well organised in the green house like in an art gallery. Thank you again for making such exclusive videos.
Totally like an art gallery. I really appreciate his taste for displaying plants.
Can’t wait to watch the next episode. His outdoor collections are even more exceptional. Thanks for sharing :)
The outdoor collection is so baller.
Home is amazing! He really gets life! Beautiful plants, beautiful life, beautiful home
I like his enthusiasm for the plants he collected.
Thank you so much Summer for making these videos. Living in the States, I sometimes feel this country values pavement over plants. It reassures me to see other places that still value the latter.
That you and others are exposing people to plants via social media is critical to raise awareness of how important plants are to all of us.
I am part of the generation of plant collectors that existed before social media and to have access to plant culture from all over the world is so exciting. I love to see the increasing popularity of collecting plants thanks to this platform.
I still don't know how you are able to remain calm and even talk in the presence of such an extraordinary collection.
Keep up the good work, it's important.
Hi Sand, thank you so much for your lovely comment. I am happy I can spend a bit of my life sharing this to the world.
I’m lost for words! His collection makes my modest efforts appear futile. 🤣
My favourite one in his collection was the Welwitschia mirabilis. I thought only botanical gardens would have those. It’s so ugly and yet so interesting!
THAT was my favorite too
Summer Rayne Oakes Two leaves for 2000 years? What a gamble!
Seeds of this species are now available on several rare seed shops
Summer, thank you for introducing us to this inspirational botanist. You are opening doors for me.
I, also, turn purple in the winter 🥶🥶🥶
Watching your videos just made my love for plants grow even more ! Started my collection and now we have over 150 plants lol
I could spend entire months just walking around there and looking at his plants. Absolutely impressive 😍
My favorite in this video was the Victoria-Reginae White Rhino. What he showed was about a $400 plant here in the US
Wow! Seriously what an incredible tour. He is so kind to share it with all of us. I remember your walk through the market with him and I wondered what his house might look like! And.... here it is!
My favorites were the euphorbias & pachypodiums. I actually just got a milii the other day on sale for $3.50. It has red flowers. It is in an 8” pot so I thought it was a steal!!
♥️🌱
The huge sansiviera is breath taking, and crotan is something very unusual. Thankyou dear , huge hug, huge afmiration, huge respect to a huge master
So generous of him to give plants to his friends and temple. I wanna be his friends now.
Collecting for 30 years??? When did he start...when he was 2? Forget these plants, I need to know his anti-aging secret serum!
haha. Doing what you love must keep you young!
I thought the same thing!!
It must be all the plant therapy that he have in his temple.
Serum is sold out. Sorry
When an Asian looks old, they are really-really old.
I honestly think I am in love with him.....I LOVE his accent.....I wish i could spend every day listening to him say "frowah".
The sansevieria! Wow!
What a sweet man ! And look at him bursting with enthusiasm & passion !
This is an inspiring video. There's so much love and passion for plants. Amazing stories too.
Oh my that is my dream home. Breath taking
Wow this is a gorgeous collection. It's nice to see how many people loved and listened to Chanin too
Spectacular video. So inspiring. Loved hearing him speak about his love of plants, such a gift. Great interview. Thank you!
What an amazing “collection” definitely a collection of pure love and care. Thanks for sharing!
Home The Thai Cacti Guy! This dude is awesome.
I’m really enjoying Home’s enthusiasm and generosity of knowledge. I closely related to him sharing his love of plants by landscaping and beautifying the local temples, which enhances their spiritual atmosphere. For decades I have done interior and exterior landscaping of meditation centers and peace gardens, thus increasing people’s enjoyment and deepening their experience of those sacred spaces. ~ This past year I’ve delved deep into studying and growing many species from South Africa and Madagascar, so I greatly appreciated his magnificent specimens of euphorbia, Pachypodium, etc., especially his Decarya madagascariensis . ( I have to go garden while the sun is shining. I will have more to comment on concerning the second half of this video.)
Very pleased you can relate to him. I too, love the ability to beautify the community. Core theme throughout: We can create the community we want to live in by being a positive force in it.
Hey summer. I’ve watched your videos for 2 years or so now (like everyday) and I’ve just started binging your Thai videos again. Thailand has such a special place in my heart. I usually go there every year and due to the pandemic I couldn’t go this year and watching these videos makes me feel as if I’m there ❤️ your videos make me so happy and you inspire me so much and I learn so much from you all the time as an aspiring botanist and a nature lover. In this crazy world in these crazy times your videos help me escape to a place that makes sense. Thank you so much🙏🏻
Ps. My full aspect lamp from Soltech solutions arrived today and I’ve wanted one ever since I started watching your videos. I used your code ! Me and my plants love it so much ! 😍
Another Cacti & succulent episode! Wonderful, thanks Summer! 😎
You're most welcome Greg.
Excellent interview with Thai rare plants collector who is a nice gentleman, liked you & him too much, thanks.
It’s beautiful, so lucky to live in a tropical country, that’s why the Thai love plants, living in a tropical country. I remember the beautiful National garden in Chiang Mai, was quite beautiful and well planted.
His accent in English shows the particularity of the Thai language itself.
Nice to see someone appreciated thai horticultural and botanical. Thailand has plentiful of rare plants that could make anyone would want to own one.!
Summer, Home Great! Pump up the Jam! Its Hammer Time! "A lot of plants have story and memory." "Hopefully that memory and knowledge will be passed on."
This was so worth the wait! Such an amazing collection and lots of information. Thank you!
I loved the entire collection!
Holy cow! Beautiful collection and beautiful person, you can see the passion and love in him.
Dr. Chanin Thorut was really well revered in Thai's plant word for his words to influence the thrend. Sad they don't have him now. Anyway, I'm jealous of his home. Lol I wish my family appreciates what I love but unfortunately they aren't enthusiastic about it.
So much respect for the Thai horticulturist for making so many beautiful varieties of these plants. They must love plants so much.
I'm pleased we could share at least some of his positive influence here on this channel before his untimely passing.
Hats off to all the plant enthusiasts like both of you. Your passion is so inspiring
Thank you both for sharing this!!!!! how kind of him too!
I am so in love with this series!! 😍
One of my favorite videos of summer 🥰🥰🥰

Wow everyone succulent heaven collections. Can’t wait for part 2
Zic zac decaryi is my fav.. now I need to make more room
Wow, thank you for this wonderful tour!
I love that zigzag plant with the bird best on it❤❤
Summer, this episode was fantastic. Home's house and collection is spectacular. Right from the start it brought back such great memories for me of my time in Florida. I had over 100 different species and cultivars of Adeniums most of which i purchased from Thailand. The Welwitschia mirabilis blew me away. I had grown several from seed and was expecting them to be very slow so was really surprised to see how huge it was after only 6 years. Sadly I lost all of mine in a hurricane. I also had many Pachypodiums. I had several that had grown to over 8 feet before I moved. I had a Decarya madacascariensis that had grown to about 4 foot, no nesting birds but a big skink lived under it and would bask on a large chunk of coral rock underneath it. I also had 2 big bonsai pots completely filled with Euphorbia decaryi. It grew tight to the ground and made a solid mat in the pots. At the end the Croton socotranus was really interesting. I had several of what we called Thai crotons that had more roundish leaves but the colors were dark and super intense. I really enjoy seeing other collectors houses , gardens and collections. Can't wait to see more!
Hey Michael, very pleased you have much applause for this video. Home's collection is truly something to ogle at; and I just love the passion he exudes! More to come in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. The outside is just as impressive as the inside! thanks for sharing your love here too.

You're most welcome Stephanie. More parts to this episode on the way so do stay tuned!
Omg I would absolutely love to learn from this guy!! He has so many beautiful plants!!!
So many interesting plants it's hard to know which to mention. I love the stephania, welwitschia, adenium and all the caudiciform ones. A superb video.

Thank you for taking us in an adventure to such a beautiful destination!! I loved Home's collection and can't wait to see the rest of it :).
Also, he reminded me of a very young grower/collector of miniature orchids I visited last summer in Colombia. He had started his collection at 13 after reading a book. Now 19 and all kinds of experts visit him and his collection. He still lives off the land with his family, but boy is he a botanist with no formal training. Wish someone like you could make a video of him and show the world!
Wonderful
Fabulous ! And thank you for sharing ❤️
You're welcome
Love seeing my home represented 🥰
I love your tour videos, never let us down 💚
