- Dear plant lovers,
Welcome to a visually spectacular episode that will nourish curious minds and stretch boundless imaginations. In this unique botanical adventure, we tour a top-secret plant garage in Taiwan, where thousands of rare and exotic plants live.
Within these walls, a treasure trove of botanical wonders unfolds. Some of these plants are so rare that their species names have yet to be published. Here, the focus lies on the captivating beauty of gesneriads and limestone plants, thriving in a completely artificial environment.
Prepare to be flabbergasted by the huge array of beautiful rare begonias that greet us at every turn.
Our knowledgeable host, Alvin, graciously invites us into this sanctuary. With passion and expertise, he unveils the stories behind each plant, sharing the regions where they were originally found. Alvin also share bite-sized pieces of care instructions and troubleshooting that we can apply to our own collections.
Our journey begins indoors, where we traverse through unusual plant microclimates that are 100% artificially created. Then, in the second half of the video, we take you outside to admire plants that thrive in the gorgeous, but sometimes unforgiving subtropical climate of Taiwan.
It is crucial to acknowledge that these rare plants are nurtured with utmost devotion, studied meticulously, and propagated responsibly, with a deep commitment to their conservation.
We stand here today, honored and fortunate, to have gained access to this underground operation, and for that, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to our gracious host who prefer to remain anonymous.

Thank you, Alvin definitely helped set the bar high for the channel. I will have to keep the quality high like this moving forward. He is such an inspiration
@@onlyplantsmy pleasure 😘
I've never said so many " oh wow !!! 's " in one video . I especially loved the black Begonia at 9.02 time stamp. Thank you Sean and Alvin
Thank you too for coming along
That's a kinda Begonia serratipetala, but I'm not sure if it is really it or not
@@alvinyh whatever it is, it's stunning. I've watched the episode twice now and am amazed by all the different types of begonias your friend has. 😊😊
I loved this episode. I am in love with begonias right now so it was a treat to hear his commentary and knowledge.
Yaye 😀
This is so cool, I’d love to visit Taiwan sometime. So many gorgeous plants! Thanks Sean! 🌿🤗🌱
Yaye. More to come!

💌💌
so awesome that you were able to meet Alvin to share so many weird and unknown begonia...going to need to rewatch this with high quality resolution...thnx Shawn
Thank you ❤️
Another amazing plant tour. I have a few varieties of Primulina and several varieties of Begonias so this was very interesting for me. Would love ve some of Alvin's collections.
💌💌
Impressive collection! The begonias of Vietnam are on a different level! My favorite though was Pavonina from Malaysia. Lanyu is actually the only island in Taiwan where an Austronesian language belonging to the Malayo-Polynesian branch is spoken. The Austronesian languages spoken in the main island of Vietnam are classified in the Formosan branch. The native inhabitants of Lanyu are very closely related to the Ivatan tribe of the Batanes Islands in the Philippines.
Whoaaaa
Great job Alvin 😊
And Sean you too 😊
Thank you 💌
What a fantastic way to wake up 🥰 this is one of my favorite tours yet! What beautiful plants, and you both were so fun! Much love!

That movie was so good 🥹 i have the soundtrack on repeat now
Amazing, jaw dropping beautiful plants! Imagine if they are planted in a garden setting. It would be heavenly!
Thank you 😀🙏🏽

Thank youu ❤️❤️
Begonias are soooo cool! It’s amazing to be able to see a plant with incredible foliage AND cute flowers
Yeahhh they are very underrated.
Very beautiful and professional video. I also enjoyed the timer sound when we’re waiting for Alvin to recall the word he was thinking of, haha, clever and fun. You’re becoming quite the producer Sean, amazing video!
Haiyaaaaaaa
Haha thank you. I have been working hard to increase the quality of the videos. Glad someone noticed!
Stunning!!!
Thank you ❤️❤️
What a gorgeous and unusual collection if Begonias 💚
😀😀
Tremendous amount of begonia! Love it so much! Begonias are one of my first love plants. We have a love and hate relationship 😂
Haha I have a difficult time growing them myself… 🥲 always propagating them to save them
I can't wait.... I love begonias. Thanks Sean, I love your videos.
Yaye. Thank you 💌
The blue sheened begonia is so beautiful!!! 🙋🏼♀️🪴🌿
Yeahhh 🥹 wasnt expecting to run into this beauty here.
So beautiful 😍 💚💚💚
🥰🥰
i havent seen this gorgeous plants in my whole life🌼🌸🌺🌻 id love to see more of it please🌼
Me too, it was a real treat. I will visit Taiwan again. There are serious collectors there!
Such very beautiful begonias and other plants. I love begonias and need to research them so I can keep more of them alive. I like the idea of keeping the begonias in self watering conditions.
I think we have to find begonias that suit our environment. I’ve learnt that some of them simply cannot take our environment well
Another fantastic video!!! Bravo!
Whoaaaa 🥰
Awesome collection!
❤️❤️
Sean that was fantastic ❤
Thank youuu ❤️❤️
Another great video. Thanks 😊
😀😀🙏🏽
Omg Alvin is a plant plant guy. 😮

@@onlyplants i google and it only shows Power Plant in Taichung… hmmm
@@phunk8607😂😂😂

This is so cool!!! Not only are they all beautiful but I love all the nuggets of information!!!
Yes I learnt a lot too!
ABSOLUTELY FASINATING.....
The Begonias alone are mind blowing......if we did'nt have cameras it would be almost impossible to describe each one with words.
THANKS SEAN 🙏🙏🙏

Great video
Thank you 💌
❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️😀
So many treasures ^^
🥰🥰
I love these large-leaved, rex-like begonias. I have yet to get some, but I will fill a shelf or two with them.
🥰🥰
I suggest you guys to visit indonesia, we have a lot of Nepenthes, labisia, and another unique plant species
❤️❤️
I really enjoyed this. I used to grow most of the Gesneriads at one time but now find they are not so readily available as they used to be. I see mostly African Violets in the stores.
Yeah we sometimes forget that the gesneriad family is huge 😀
Gm edagdwg God blessed you with a forever gift to change plants make them better and stronger life is soooooo real a forever loving fan Linda j. Peace
Thank you ❤️
So many interesting begonias! Am surprised that some of them originated from Malaysia too..
Yes I was surprised to see that they come from nearly every region of the world.
@@onlyplants they have such an amazing collection!
Pyrrosia polydactyla is all over tree roots in my uncle's farm! ❤
Whoaaaa I wonder if they can be found in Indonesia too. I havent paid much attention to it
@@onlyplants It has been exported to oversea many years ago, and there is a similar species P. hastata which is native to mainland China, Japan, and Korea Peninsula. No idea haha
@onlyplants I discovered them just before the pandemic. I was out searching for low sunlight plants because of the quality of light I have in my garden. My uncle's farm is just outside the jungle, and I ended up going home with just enough room in the truck for me. It was very hard to drive. LOL
That begonia arachnoidea is b. araneumoides
Thank you
Just clicked on the upload. Starting to psyche myself in preparation for all the emotions!
I hate you, Sean! LOL
Oh. I'm actually the first commenter. Haha
Haha hellooo
surprised there isnt any sonerila species
There might be some behind the scenes haha. We only showed less than 5% of the total plants its insane
