Everything about this video made my soul smile. Alpine plants don't really get the same amount of attention as tropicals, yet they're just as diverse and beautiful
Sorry but I have to correct you. There are a lot of Society and private collectors of alpine plants - it is may beside of Orchidaceae and Cactaceae (which can be both also alpine and are often found in alpine collections) may one of the biggest communitys in the world of horticulturism. But those societys and clubs often are not online or "public" - which means that the most people think that the community for alpine plants is not big but actually it is - it is also one of the oldest parts of horticulturism. I wish it would be true that alpine plants would not get the same attention as others. Alpine plants can be tropical like Mutisia species, Sobralia species, the succulent Viola species from South America like Viola motagnei - not all alpine plants come from Europe or other parts of the old world. Sadly alpine plants getting so much attention that poaching is a big, big problem - a lot of people poaching every year thousands of alpine Iris species in Iran, Turkey or countrys in the near, the same is with Orchidaceae, Crassulaceae or others. Sometimes complete trees (who are getting in the montains just a few centimeters high and who are very old) are getting poached just because some collectors like them. Growing alpine plants has a big dark side and you will found this side in every bigger plant community - sadly.
I love this series. Can't wait to see Summer do the Missouri Botanical Gardens and geek out at their anthirium waterfall and their crazy philodedren collection. I love the traveling to botanical gardens series.
Just like when I said that I’d like to run through levender hedges to my european friend and she’d expressed similar longing to see frangipani flowers again (I’m from a tropical country) :)
Amazing to see such a unique collection of plants I've never seen before and at the same time seeing Pachystegia insignis a plant endemic to my county NZ was such a lovely surprise. Love this series
I'm so glad you featured alpine plants! Living in northern New England, Mt. Washington is just a quick drive from my house, on top of which an amazing variety of alpine plants live and thrive. It has always amazed me the variety of alpine plants that grow in such harsh conditions and it's always been a bummer to never see them featured in gardens or videos. So many of these do well in areas such as mine, where we typically see -20 to -30F in the winter and finding plants to fill our garden can sometimes feel like there's no new and interesting plants from year to year. This has inspired me to consider seeking out sources for these plants and trying them in my gardens. Thanks for another fantastic video, Summer!
I’m very impressed. This is no doubt my favourite episode of yours! Stunning collection & great interaction between you and this very knowledgeable and well spoken curator.
I live in sweden just an hour away from Gothenburgs botanical garden, and I just stumbled on this video in your list of videos when I was looking at your tropical plants. How amazing to see! I gotta go there soon again :)
You can grow most of these outside if not all of them in the same conditions as they are kept here on large porous rock in full sun. They are extremely hardy when in perfect conditions just keep in mind where these plants come from in mountains that can get down to -30 in winter months and in summer can be extremely hot for a month then can heavily rain with thunderstorms, hail and lighting. They even can survive forest fires because they are so hardy and have very harsh weather conditions all year round. So truly perfect plants for house plant owners to get out in the garden and grow unusual plants similar to the weird, rare and wacky plants we have in the trade. Not good for tropical climates but are great for the majority of the US states that get really cold weather and Europe! I keep some of these personally in the UK they thrive here I'm so glad you did something on these amazing plants.
The problem is with species from the genera Dionysia as an example is that they don't would do well outdoor without any protection. The BG Tübingen has also a nice collection of this genera and has build like a tiny temperated greenhouse because the requirement of the species is even for a mild climate like western germany it has not the easiest once. And it's the same with alpine plants like Geranium lucidum - they would be not hardy in regions with not much light or with to much water etc. We have in Germany Geranium lucidum who is growing on the rocks in the Palatinate Forest which is pretty amazing because it is not find often and this species is so hardy in it's habitat but only in his habitat different scientific collections tried to grow this species and it's not working only a few BG are known who can handle it. It's not that easy like it always look - and the most alpine plants who are doing great in cultivation are hybridized or are a long time in cultivation. I see it in the montains in my region ( Palatinate Forest/Odenwald) and I see it when I'm in the bavarian montains - climate change is challenging specialized plants and the plants would be also challenging in cultivation. I really have so many montane and alpine plant species from China who could be easy handle the temperatures in my region but the climate is not well. That's why I have to keep my Petrocosmea, Aspidistra, Primulina species etc. indoor in Winter. I know exactly what you mean but I think it's a bit to easy what you wrote.
@@marvinsanu3766 also another reason why the thrive where I live in the UK is because I live in the county Devon which is warmer during winter months as agaves can survive if not too damp and I even successfully keep banana trees in a sheltered spot we also have prolouned photo periods in winter. And on our local moor we have alot of alpines growing successfully on granite rock.
Im always fascinated with alpine plants. I even made a hypertufa and put small plants just to mimic the looks and form of it😋. I can't grow them but i can always admire them🤗
Glad you like them! Ironically YT has started to automatically showcase ads in the middle of videos, which I do not like! You have to deactivate them and sometimes I don't remember to do that.
wow... hi summer, from 🇵🇭 Philippines... i reaaly love watching, specially when your in garden tour... keep it up and take us to those place where we cant able enough to go... ❤️🌎🇵🇭
That was fascinating! Such unique and it seems, rare plants, that grow in very specific, not easily found conditions. I love plants that grow in rock crevices, which you would think wouldn't have the conditions for plants to survive. That was a treat...thank you!
I love these garden tours so much! It’s so cool to get to see places that many of us may not have the opportunity to see. Keep doing what you’re doing!!
I love to see some of my local ferns! Here in Scotland there are a couple of very prevalent species that grow in the central belt. The old walls round by rubbish bin store are covered!
Hi Summer Rayne !💚 Love your all videos, Thank you sooo much for making world beautiful & thanks for making myself motivated through your videos to start a nice garden at home ! 💚🌱
This is an excellent discussion and departure from ‘normal’ house plants which are generally tropical species that can be challenging to grow in the high northern latitudes without specialty equipment and consideration. The Dyonesia in this video are very similar in appearance (and I wonder if they are similar in odor/fragrance) to a number of cushion plant species that are well distributed in the Alpine limestone cliff bands of Montana and elsewhere in the Northern Rockies. Sort of fun to think about collecting and protecting species which are frequently overlooked (along with cryptobiotic soil) because of seemingly little value due to their inconspicuous size and “small” role in an ecosystem full of large eye-catching plants, animals, and horizons.
Shepardia Rotundafolia is a shrub endemic to the Cedar Mesa area of Utah around the Bears Ears. It is not naturally tree form but the wooly silver leaves are quite striking in the landscape.
Og you go to Norway we have the most northen botanical garden. Down in Agder we got a little zoo with rainforrest. The rainforrest is a giant greenhouse with supercute animals that seem to like living there🇳🇴
Hahaha! Who else thought that was Summer at the very beginning grabbing a garden hose and watering! No summer! Stop! You'll get in trouble! Oh, sorry, my mistake. Hahaha!
. @@eccremocarpusscaber5159 Yep ikr. New guinea orchids are fantastic. would love to go to lake habbema one day :) . Really want to see D. azureum, and D. leucocyanum
Do love a peering garden. This was a magnificent tour and hope to get there one day. There is a very good, switched on American crevice gardener\designer whose blog I follow - Kenton Seth. Think you and he would make for a great show Summer.
Love this video! Could you do a video on some plants that have switched genus and why? I liked the Sansevieria video and I am sometimes very confused about why all of a sudden some plants switch genera.
Hi Summer. Another great video. I saw an very vivid red and green aroid on the Fairchild botanical tour about ninty seconds into the tour when Chad introduces the Mapania. Its to the right of it. Please tell me what that is? Thanks very much. Karl
Was that bleeding heart Corydalis wilsonii? I once had it growing in tufa rock in my greenhouse in Massachusetts but lost the seed. I think I got the seed from the Rock Garden Society but have never found it again, I once read that it self-seeded in the Gothenburg alpine houses. Great video tour!
I am just inspired by you about the house plant .can you please make a video on your green wall update and also the plants separately that contains in it.
My country's climate (hot Mediterranean) is too alien for these marvelous pkants. If I can't grow them, then I guess I'll have to book a flight just to see them. Seeing them in their current setting is akin to landing on another planet.
Ex Situ should become the new 'it' thing and everyone (especially plant parents) should be encouraged. I feel like the focus, nowadays, is on 'trending' plants and we can all invest in saving our dying species instead... We can have both too!
It looks like another planet in there, but it is still, Life from our vast, diverse underestimated planet. Hopefully, in the future, we won't have to pay an entrance fee, to visit an 'island' for examples of Clover, Dandelions and green grass, kept in a glass dome building. That was somehow, a spooky tour. 😐
Hello summer, I know this comment has nothing to do with this video but I need some advice! I’ve recently noticed that I have WORMS in my gorgeous rubber plant tineke soil. They look like earthworms, but they’re smaller in length (about an inch long) and very skinny. They don’t slither out of the plant pot, but when I water the plant and let it sit for 15 minutes, some of them make their way down to the water and happily wriggle around in it 🤢. Do you have any idea what these worms are and how to kill them, they’re disgusting and are giving me anxiety!!
A bit closer to home for people in the NY area is Stonecrop Gardens near Cold Spring, NY. Not as extensive as Gothenburg, but a nice collection of alpine plants. www.stonecrop.org/
So listening to the difficulties of raising these species in domestic settings, makes me think of how limited a selection of plants we really encounter day to day. We enter into monocultures of the mind where not only our food is repetitive and hogs most of the habitat, but even our “frivolous” “decorative” houseplants become monocultures. When I visited the flatlands of the Midwest these thoughts increased in my mind. The landscape is a blank canvas cut up into squares to provide only for our needs, a tabula rasa, or blank paper. I’m sure that native prairie had it’s biodiversity as well, but it cannot compare to the places with geographical variety like mountains, rocky outcroppings, jungle canyons, or tepuis. This makes me wonder if our systematic distancing from places of high diversity inform our disdain for environmental and biodiversity concerns. If our land is but a blank sheet, then the odd native species become merely intrusions marring the picture we want to draw. But when we encounter places of high biodiversity it is as if we have stumbled into an old master’s painting an thus are more keen to preserve it.
There is a pretty unique place (a garden in fact) in the Italian Alps where they grow the same type of plants. They have a wide collection of alpine plants from all over the world: www.bormio.eu/category/destinazioni/bormio/da-non-perdere/il-giardino-botanico-rezia/ (I'd be glad to take you there, if interested). Anyway, keep up with the great work!
auto-captions from RUclips are not always great, but I've opened up my RUclips channel for community captioning, but YT is getting rid of that feature too, so doesn't leave many affordable options.
MrEiht yes, it’s often the way! I find plant people are either so excited to tell you more and share their enthusiasm, or they want to be with their plants and not people. As long as the plants are doing well 🙂
Everything about this video made my soul smile. Alpine plants don't really get the same amount of attention as tropicals, yet they're just as diverse and beautiful
Couldn't agree more!
Sorry but I have to correct you. There are a lot of Society and private collectors of alpine plants - it is may beside of Orchidaceae and Cactaceae (which can be both also alpine and are often found in alpine collections) may one of the biggest communitys in the world of horticulturism.

I absolutely adore this garden I could spend days here, it's so fairy-like, gothic and Victorian. 🌹
This greenhouse is just awesome 😍😍 I like that they're growing on limestones
Being from the austrian Alps it's fun to see our "backyard plants" growing in greenhouses around the world 😂
it’s a funny phenomenon huh i was just saying to my son how all my leafed treasures grow like weeds in their own parts of the world 🤗🥰

Thats what the thai's think when we go crazy for them orchids :)
Same for California coast X] never realized these stones were so interesting
Finally someone who can put you through your paces Summer :)
I was really blown away by these species.
When I watch your videos I always find myself thinking how little I actually know about plants :)
