The moment she said "it's a nice one" to that bug. I was like" it will poop on her,for sure" and then it did. I mean every bug summer loved, pooped on her in the series.
I'd love to see more of these 'excursions', it's so fascinating to see these plants in their natural habitat. And there are way too few nature [documentaries] out there that focus on plants.
@@summerrayneoakes we need a Netflix show about plants. You would be perfect as host. I've been waiting and waiting. Every time I search plants or gardening or house plants in Netflix I'm quite dissappointed : ( The flower sculpture competition show is a fun look at foliage but not the same.
I love virtually traveling to places around the world that I otherwise would never see! Feel as if I'm actually there! Beautiful flower, interesting to know how it survives. The leech was kind of cute walking around searching for a spot to feed from, in a comical way! Wherever you travel to next will be a treat for me!
God this episode has some moments "So who is the sugar daddy?" Dr. "Don't touch it, I know you love touching bugs pls Summer" Summer "..... I'll use my thumbnail" That bloom open tho! How gorgeous!!
I need to go to Thailand. ❤ 1:06 I did that before. But the road was bumpy and my butt hurt after 😂 Please visit Sabah Borneo. Kinabalu park, Crocker range, poring and the islands
Wow, the Sapria in bloom is so incredible lovely (well worth the leeches and the thorough inspection you had to do in the end). Unfortunately, I was unable to see any Raflesia in bloom when I visited Sarawak, missed it by 2 days. Oh well, an excuse to return... Borneo is an option for a future visit for you, or Ecuador... so many places worth seeing... just wish mankind wasn't destroying them all at the rate we are
LOL! That is funny indeed. Such sneaky little creatures! Anyway, thank you, as always, dear Summer. I hope you're now feeling better. 💚 This is a wonderful tribute to Dr. Thorut. And it is both interesting and edifying as well to learn about the 10-petalled Sapria. 💚 Your Thai expedition is one of your very best. Thanks again. And more power. 💚
What an amazing video!!! I think these expedition videos are one of the best plant videos out there. Especially the part of the locals burning the trees to get sap. Great way to introduce different cultures and make people think about the relationship between human and nature. 🙏
Hi Jenny, thanks so much for your thoughts on the videos. Really appreciate your assessment! And I agree, there are so many periphery elements that we can pick up along the way...
Nice, that leech is creeeppy the way it moves. That's inspiring seeing rare plants like that. Imagine, think soils rather than plan. I love the way you talk, science, i also love that i understand what you are saying. Im just propergating all types of currents, goose berrys, goji berry, honey drop, apple, apricot, pear and blueberry. Fun. Id suggest going to south America, get some local knowledge from tribes.
Omg you are so lucky and happy! I know hows that feeling! To see the biggest flower in the world! I went hiking to the primary jungle purposely to see this species flower. A Rafflesia in Borneo. ❤️❤️❤️😁👍🏻
Fantastic video Summer and what a surprise to see one in bloom. A special treat for you. I love your field trip videos very much. It's especially pleasing to see the response from the experts when they see the plants and to enjoy their excitement. Where to next? What about Hawaii? and the leeches, makes you want to tie down every opening on your clothing LOL.
OMG Summer, i love it when you talk science :). this episode was really really special! summer and "the doctor" coming soon to a musty and corpse y jungle near you. this was a genuine full on expedition and i enjoyed every second! go anywhere you want we are all hooked and will follow. i'm glad you also include all the other creatures found along the way. another really fun thing might be to visit the homes and gardens of collectors in other countries. Thailand has some fabulous and eccentric collectors of not only plants but also tribal artifacts and textiles and their houses are like cabinets of wonders.
I'm surprised no one mentioned the sapria flower looks like a demogorgon head/mouth (any stranger things aficionado? 😉) Anyway, it was cute that you still wanted to pet that poisonous caterpillar and that leech... Eek!
I bet you learned your lesson tinkling in the woods😄 What a great video Summer! That flower was so amazing! I loved watching you trek through the forest in Thailand. What an amazing experience and I wanted to thank you so much for taking us along with you! Can't wait to see your next adventure! I'd love to be able to go somewhere like that one day! Stay safe and keep on traveling the world to seek out different beauties of nature 🏵
Hi Stacey, oh I learned! But it didn't change the fact that I had to go! It was a long journey and I was staying well hydrated. Glad you're enjoying the trips.
That was was so exciting! I felt like I was there waiting for my turn to smell that funky flower. What you do on your channel is mind blowing. Keep up the good work and thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you for the wonderful vote of confidence. Hopefully sometime soon, we can do this in augmented reality so you can feel like you're right there with us even more!
I love these videos, your filming and editing style is wonderful and the knowledge you’re sharing is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your journeys with us, it’s especially wonderful for those of us who may never be able to take on these journeys but we can now see them as if we were. Thank you!! Ps. Thank you for always showing the little beasties you encounter along your searches for plants!
Glad you're appreciating these journeys. And Sander did a bang up job helping on the edit of this one-capturing a lot of special moments, leeches, bugs, and all!
Awesome! I have to say these are my favorite videos, seeing plants in the wild, learning all about that, so cool. Thanks Summer! These are so incredibly unique and rare to get to see this sort of thing and with the experienced guides and/or botanists. The end! That stuff freaks me out! heheh Very funny though. :D
That was pretty awesome. ❤ Those rare flowers were a treat to see but I felt so bad for you at the end of the video when you were searching your person for more leaches! Yikes! 😳 ❤🤗
What a beautiful walk and experience being in the forest... A little scary think of snake at insects... But really awesome... Thanks Ms oaks for another adventure
I love these episodes. ChiangMai is home to the Hmong hill tribe people which are my people. This reminds me so much of where I came from and miss those days of living in the mountains.
As someone who has never left North America - THANK YOU for filming this. This is sooooo neat to see. Not just the plants you found, but even the footage of you walking through the jungle. I wonder how many orchids you passed along the way :O
I think it would be really awesome to visit an old growth forest in the PNW or somewhere close to home! We always forget how special non tropical plants can be as well 😊💚
wow, so amazing that you were able to see the plant flowering(!), as always with these videos you are doing internationally, I'm wondering, how is this not a Netflix show????
So fun! Had a blast watching this😁 Realised during that parasites do take over other plants and kill it, but they are still precious if you can keep the balance in the area....?
Great trip! Would be great if you would visit Malesians Borneo. Thats a really paradise for any plant lover! Bako national park or Kubah is a really paradise for rarest plants hunters. Also Raflesia arnoldii you can find near there. Really recommending for next video.
More content like this, exploring plants in their natural habitats and stuff would be great!! But honestly tho, even the most mundane plant care guide is welcomed hahahaha
Go to Oxaca, Mexico. The climate there varies a lot from one region to another, from pine forests, to huge cacti areas, to subtropical forests and there is also the San Juan market, where people sell foraged mushrooms and edible insects
