- The Longhouse is the only greenhouse at Logee's that is open for the public, but since I had never seen it before, I wanted to go through with Byron Martin, the co-owner of Logee's Greenhouses, to see what he had on display.

Thus far my favorite 'tours' are with Logee's. Byron is great on camera, great with the interview, and so casually knowledgeable about the plants he cares for that it's easy to understand and absorb what he's speaking.
True, he's so knowledgeable & a good communicator. I 1st saw him on a Martha Stewart show. He made fairly regular appearances - and looks about the same today as he did back then, which must've been over 10 years ago.
What a great place. So glad she did a tour there. I keep wanting to go.
"Casually knowledgeable" - I'm stealing that. I totally agree with it.
Byron is just a gem. We really worked him that day because he was giving us tours non-stop and he was such a trooper. More to come soon....
@@summerrayneoakes Did you say there's more to come? Omg!
Brilliant comment 🙏🏼🌱
You can see the passion in his eyes, and also in the vines.
Oh yea he walked right past that gorgeous anthurium to look at coffee plants. He's a vine guy for sure
@@cinbrandt he's actually more into begonia. But he does love his vines
@@bryghian He barely talked about begonia in the begonia episode 🤣
@@cinbrandt They said they would make a whole video only about begonias 🤭
That guys voice was so calming. I liked listening to him talk.
Many folks I've interviewed have such calm, soothing voices. The King of Smooth Voices, Chad Husby, will be making an appearance again on the channel soon.
@@summerrayneoakes ☺️
it is
I drove from Portland Oregon to Philly, Penn to pick up my daughter, she won't fly, in !980's. We headed to Vermont to pick up a school friend going to college, and made a stop at Logees…..it was so special. Brought lots of begonia's home.
I just usually prep a cup of coffee and binge watch your videos and that's all that I ever need to stay peaceful.
I love how Byron said which plants were good for houseplants.
He knows our audience is mainly growers of houseplants!
“That’s for you” HE GAVE YOU THE FLOWER
Also the citrus on a past episode, that guy is genuinely generous, has a big big heart and appreciates Summer a lot ♡
I was just grinning watching this. Nothing better than watching plant enthusiasts geek out with a bunch of amazing plants.
This guy... He knows so much.I could listen to him forever.
Summer, you're cameraman and quality is absolutely perfect! It makes it so pleasant to watch
I'm so glad you're enjoying it and Sander will be thankful of your compliments.
Agree 😍😍
Yes indeed he makes this channel easy on the eyes ☺️
My girlfriend and I used to take ‘I need to smell soil’ trips to Logees in late winter. We always left with plants.
My newest addiction, I've ordered from them 4 times in the past 13 months. The plants arrived well packaged and healthy. I'm happy to say all 16 are still alive and thriving.
Possibly my favorite of logee's greenhouse tours! I feel like Byron was really enthousiast and opened up to you like never before. Extremely touching to see him like that! A very peaceful and very very interesting and informational tour! Those backstories make the plants even more interesting, if that's even possible hahahaha
I think we really warmed him up after a couple days of filming....By the end he was very tired, so we're so grateful he took the time. Glad you feel as if he responded well.
This guy is amazing. I could listen to him for hours.
I remember the first time I went to Logee's, walking down those stairs in to the greenhouse is like walking into a fairytale and candy store all rolled in one. I need more plants.
Many plants that he mentioned are popular here in Indonesia! And the best part is he look so interested to that plants, while we people here begin to forget that kind of plants. Appreciate him so much! Good job sir!
I really love this tour. Most of the plants they have are from South East Asia. I definitely recognize most of the plants. They are abundant and naturally growing here in the Philippines. 😍😍
The last flower was Ilang-ilang, right? Or kinda looks like it haha
Same family as ylang ylang
@@lloydandbehold yes. I think.
@@lloydandbehold Artabotrys hexapetalus. From the same family as ylang-ylang (Cananga odorata) but a totally different plant. In the Philippines, it has been recorded from the province of Rizal.
Very pleased that people can see the plants that they recognized on their home turf!
Bryon: “Hippie back to land movement”. I liked that.
These 2 are the calmest expert vibe. Very enjoyable and informative.
Absolutely, this man has a very subtle voice and clear articulation when he explains as well.
Byron I could listen to him all day long talk about plants and give their long Latin name! Anyone who's been lucky enough to work and those greenhouses beside him are some of the luckiest plant people in the world. Plants have always fascinated me all my life... And now that I'm 71 I'm trying to share things that I've learned through the years with other people in the plant community. I'm warning about plants that I never knew existed and my problem is I love to propagate plants and then what do I do with all these plants I've brought into the world I don't have enough space for all of them. So last fall I put all my cuttings into two hanging baskets of my pothos syngonium and philodendron. They have made beautiful hanging baskets there their own little jungle. It's a great idea people and I like growing plants that trail as the understory. For a couple years on my gardenia trees I have five but I'm not sure if some of them made it through the winter they may have dried out too much... I had strawberry begonias growing. But I think I forgot to water and I did them in and maybe the two gardenias I had them growing in. I do videos and post them trying to share my knowledge. You do a great job Summer.... keep up the great work you are another person that's so full of knowledge I love listening to you rattle off the Latin names. I have a hard time just remembering the regular common name
I live on the east coast and Logee’s is always my first place to go to order rare, tropical, and exotic plants. Amazing plants!
What a wonderful expert -honest charming guided tour! Cool guy!
Wowo 100 years and counting ...amazing.
Real passion for plants
Daaaamnnn.. i could literally get lost in this cozy euphoric greenhouse and won’t mind.. ❤️
I love watching the Logee videos as well. He is so intelligent and just seems like someone's cool uncle.
Loved this tour.... so interesting and I love hearing back stories
What a cool privilege to hear and enjoy.
This is my favorite plant tour so far.. Byron's voice is so soothing.. You can easily feel his passion and love for his plants with the way he talk and how his face lights up each time he stops and talks casually about every plants.. Its very inspiring
He looks so friendly!!!
He's such a gem. Nice and calm.
I liked his stories more than the plants... and I loved his plants.
What an absolutely lovely man!
What a joy to watch! I could watch Byron for hours on end & not get bored, thank you Summer for another great episode ❤️
You're welcome! More of Byron to come!
Bummed that this was not a "part 1". I want more of Byron!
This is a Part 1 :)
@@summerrayneoakes Woohoo! Although this was a fairly long video, it felt like just 15-20 minutes.
Just ordered some Lipstick plants from Logee's. Their packing was amazing and they arrived in perfect shape and very healthy.
I do love a walk through a greenhouse...All the plants are favorites, I like the beauty of each.
I love Byron. Love hearing him speak plants. Thank you cameraman for the close ups of Byron. 😂
Capturing the history of Logee's along with Byron's knowledge of the plants is priceless. Thank you from those of us that are unable to tour the greenhouses.
I think you have one of my most favourite voices to listen too on CZcams, its very soothing
Will look forward to the begonia video very much.🙂
You very beautiful
Listening to Byron speak, I am reminded of Ray Romano, but not as nasal and whiny. 😊 What a soothing voice!
I was waiting for him to say begonias! 😂. I dunno why but whenever he says it my heart says "hihi".
That blessed man is living my dream!
Also I love circus peanuts! Takes me straight back to my childhood!!
💚💚💚
Every time I have a hard day i come back to this video, Byron and Summer's voices are so calming, i could listen to them for hours chatting about these wonderful plants
This is fascinating, i like this guy and his perspective on plants and the history of his family's company.
This is the first time ive heard someone talk about the 70's houseplant boom by experience. The recent years must've been pretty surreal for places like Logee's.
Thanks for the tour, all three of you, stay safe.
I love the Logee videos. Byron is an excellent speaker and I could listen to him all day long :)/
As a beekeeper I love the plants with unique flowers that have triggers or hinges that must be activated by the bee. Honey bees aren't as strong as bumblebees so they wouldn't have the weight to open the trigger of some flowers. Often though once a flower has been opened a few times its trigger opens easier. We have some flowers that when a bee pushes the trigger the flower slaps the bee either on the back or head with a pollen stamp. I'll see the returning bees with a perfect rectangular stamp on her back and know that particular flower is in bloom.
I wish we could have done a beekeeping video. It wasn't the right weather for it though. Too cold when we were filming. He was very excited for that though!
Great video. He has such a passion and he’s so calming to listen to. I just realized he’s missing a pointer finger. My dad was missing his pointer finger too. Crazy.
Where you live ? You very beautiful
The flower he gave her has such a lovely fragrance and is called Manoranjidham in Tamil. We have a belief that if u think of any fruit and then smell the flower you can feel that particular fragrance.
I loved this video! I could just listen to him talk for hours. So interesting!
I have an interview tomorrow ...and here i am watching the green house tour ...... i dnt regret at alll...... thanx summer.......
Byron's memory! 👨🎓
love the peaceful athmosphere in this greenhouse
His energy is healing and loving. So much so I can feel it through the TV screen. Not many people around these days that still emit this kind of energy. I always say, some of the best people are plant people. True salt of the earth in human form.
I love seeing these older plants! The Monstera and Pink Princess grabbed my attention and it never wavered. What an amazing green house and fascinating tour guide. Thanks for making this content.
Lovely to watch! I am from South Africa and this is such a treat listening/watching a person with so much passion and knowledge of plants!
I am in love with this man’s soul
Such an awesome greenhouse! 😍 I’ve been there a few times and every time I notice something new. I loved hearing Byron’s stories for the older plants.
What a Romantic greenhouse… relaxing and inspiring 🙏🏼 🍋
What a dream! I would love to have a greenhouse like that someday, and to find people I can talk to about flowers the way Summer and Byron did.
You so funny and no! you are not the only kid who ate circus peanuts as a child. They have been around for a very long time!😊 Thanks for sharing and happy growing.
Amazing 😍. Beautiful Tour of!;
Logees Longhouse Greenhouse. 💚. (Catchy Name)👍🏼. This Greenhouse is Stunning! I Learned lots! I wish I lived In Connecticut. Maybe I’ll Pass By On One Of My Travel’s ! Thank You Cameraman For Making It Feel Like I Was There! Perfect 👌🏼.
Thank you Sumer. 🤗🌱🤗.
great tours and interviews. love the moments when each person just opens up and talks about their passions and experiences.
I have the feeling I watched that one before. The "circus peanuts" stuck to my mind for sure. I love your tours at Logees so so much.
That was Enid at NSE tropicals talking about circus peanuts ahah
@@alex0589 I was trying to remember where I had heard that before, thank you!
@@alex0589It's true that that exact smell was mentioned in the NSE video aswell, BUT I am sure I wated THIS video here before. The situation was quite different too.
I have been buying plants from Logee for about 15 years. They send very healthy plants. This video reflects quality and love that goes into.
I hope there is someone who will carry on this man’s knowledge. So incredible.
what a beautiful green house.. so lush.. and they really do look after their plants.. you can see that.. beautiful.
This was an awesome tour, I love that greenhouse
That Albo Monstera opened this video with a BANG!
This is definitely one of my fave tours so far! Such great chemistry between the two of you! And Byron's such a powerhouse of knowledge and charisma!
Beautiful video, so calming. This guy is so knowledgeable and passionate, i love watching you two talk about plants, even if some of it is way over my head lol!
We'll try not to make it over one's head next time!
Just gives me something to strive for 🥰🥰❤️🌿 I can only hope to be as knowledgeable as you two some day!!!
Wow I know that green flower tree . My grandpa planted it in our garden Vietnam. The scent is amazing. I think we call it the princess flower tree . It has huge trunk which grows direct. It is our tallest tree. This brings back wonderful childhood memories ❤️
I am so fortunate to live within a half hour of Logee's! One of my favorite places. ❤️
I grew up near this place... never knew the history... amazing story!
Woah. New plant mom here and am kinda floored to see Logees all over CZcams. I was there a few weeks ago but didn’t know they’re kind of a big deal. I can definitely see why though. So awesome to see the behind the scenes.
Those yellow flowers😻
I could watch this for hours! *_*
Omg, all the jasmine!! My favorite smell!!!!
In Philippines that’s our National flower called Sampaguita....I came from Philippines too your vlog makes me stress free,,,❤️
Jasminum Sambac, the national flower of the Philippines, otherwise known here as SAMPAGUITA... Love the smell of it... Catholics used to offer their flowers at the altar...
Everytime i see a bougainvillea i remember when i trimmed the huge one in my house compound and it fell on me.
I was scratched and cut soo much because its a spiny tree
Noni i call it the death strawberry 😅
Watched both parents when I was a kid fall into our Bougainvillea on separate occasions. I was convinced until I was 6 that it _ate_ people and wouldn't go near it.
@@LaviniaDeMortalium Loool. Some people feel the same for black berry brambles 😅
Ya bougainvilleas are just a spiny hell covered by pretty coloured leaves ( their flowers are small. And white)
@@LaviniaDeMortalium thats truly a hilarious story!! :) :)
Loved the tour. Wish I could get back there again to visit. Back in the early 1970s after I had my driver's license and started collecting plants, nearly every city had at least one old "glass house", including the small town where I grew up in central Wisconsin. Sadly, they are nearly all gone now. Mostly likely not energy efficient and too costly to repair. BTW, I love circus peanuts and still buy them 🙂 Seems like Logees does not have the large variety of begonias that it once had 30 -40 years ago when I used to mail order from a paper catalog.
Beautiful green house, most of the plants are very healthy ❤️
Dear Summer...thank you for sharing such a wonderful place.
The cute fragant Sampaguita is our national flower here in the Philippines.😘
the last plant they talked about w/c they missed to name is actually an ylang ylang plant, also from the Philippines
I love listening to him.
Wow, he's really handsome. Really knowledgeable and it seems like he's a more comfortable talking in front of the camera in this video than in some other ones.
We really warmed him up with lots of filming in a couple days...I think by the end of it, he was done!
I like the Loges wonderful greenhouse garden thanks for this video sharing with us ...
Thank you for the tour Summer! It's always a privilege and a pleasure to hang out for a while with people who are as passionate about plants as I am! Oh and I love circus peanuts candy!
I used to like Circus peanuts candy...And now I don't know how I did! ha. Glad you enjoyed Edward. More coming from Logee's
you are the angel of plants......i love your videos
Begonias, also the Rex, are starting to come back here in Europe.
If I had a nursery, I would grow lots of them.
They’ll probably be the new Insta hype and they’re great to collect.
Also, Aroids are great, but they get boring after a while.
Love how excited Summer was about the structure of the flower at the end of video. Genuine plant nerd.
Very well made video, very soothing
I love the passion and knowledge he has!!
I really like these greenhouse tours
Wonderful garden. Thanks for your patience of sharing.
this was fabulous! the sense of continuity...
I love this tour !
Glass houses like this are a joy to see. A fascinating tour, thank you.
This was great! I've seen your Logee's tours before but I think now this one has become my favorite. Byron seemed more enthusiastic than I remember him in past videos. lol . Fun! Thanks Summer xoxo
I absolutely loved this whole tour. Imagine working in your own little botanical gardens. I have a wish list from Logees. Such a magical place. Thank you Summer.
I enjoyed this episode so much. What a treat! Thank you Summer!
