Speaker 3: Are you all right there in the USA.

7
00:00:23,533 --> 00:00:26,573
Speaker 2: I'm doing very well, thank you. I've had the pleasure

8
00:00:26,573 --> 00:00:29,293
Speaker 2: and privilege of traveling around quite a bit this week

9
00:00:29,333 --> 00:00:33,413
Speaker 2: and to some quite different climates and environments. And it's

10
00:00:33,413 --> 00:00:36,253
Speaker 2: that time of year where on the East Coast at

11
00:00:36,253 --> 00:00:38,933
Speaker 2: the very least, the leaves are turning and it is

12
00:00:39,133 --> 00:00:42,533
Speaker 2: just amazing, like in Washington, DC right now. Honestly, it

13
00:00:42,613 --> 00:00:44,853
Speaker 2: is just it is ridiculous. Like if you take a

14
00:00:44,853 --> 00:00:46,973
Speaker 2: no filter photo you chuck it on Instagram, you know

15
00:00:47,013 --> 00:00:48,973
Speaker 2: that people are just never going to believe that it's real.

16
00:00:49,253 --> 00:00:52,973
Speaker 2: The leaves are so beautiful, those like golden and red

17
00:00:53,093 --> 00:00:55,453
Speaker 2: hues that you only see a little bit. It's like

18
00:00:55,693 --> 00:00:57,773
Speaker 2: everywhere as the main street of Arrowtown, you know what

19
00:00:57,853 --> 00:00:58,133
Speaker 2: I mean?

20
00:00:59,013 --> 00:01:02,653
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, And that is exactly the point. There's so

21
00:01:02,773 --> 00:01:06,053
Speaker 3: many good spots in America that I find really cool

22
00:01:06,093 --> 00:01:09,693
Speaker 3: to use as an example of what we can plant. Ourselves.

23
00:01:10,013 --> 00:01:12,173
Speaker 3: You know, I know it's not native, but there you are.

24
00:01:12,413 --> 00:01:15,533
Speaker 3: It's good ideas. Yeah, here talking about planting. I'm at

25
00:01:15,533 --> 00:01:18,413
Speaker 3: the moment here in Cromwell or at Bannegburn, and we're

26
00:01:18,453 --> 00:01:22,493
Speaker 3: planting with the Mokihi trust, literally a brand new if

27
00:01:22,493 --> 00:01:26,013
Speaker 3: you like, habitat for all sorts of pollinators and creatures

28
00:01:26,053 --> 00:01:28,213
Speaker 3: like that. And it's so many kids, and it is

29
00:01:28,413 --> 00:01:32,973
Speaker 3: lovely to see them actually being interested in restoring au troa.

30
00:01:33,613 --> 00:01:37,973
Speaker 3: That's another so gardening man is on at the moment.

31
00:01:38,053 --> 00:01:41,733
Speaker 3: It's brilliant. So let's talk. Let's talk about the stuff

32
00:01:41,733 --> 00:01:45,973
Speaker 3: in the US. I decided to link with you and

33
00:01:46,213 --> 00:01:48,693
Speaker 3: see if you've seen any dog woods.

34
00:01:50,573 --> 00:01:52,933
Speaker 2: I don't know if I would recognize one, to be

35
00:01:52,973 --> 00:01:53,653
Speaker 2: perfectly honest.

36
00:01:53,973 --> 00:01:57,133
Speaker 3: Dogwood Maybe not a dogwood. It's a tree that is

37
00:01:57,213 --> 00:02:00,213
Speaker 3: very common in the States. And when they are in

38
00:02:00,253 --> 00:02:02,693
Speaker 3: the springtime, they are beautiful with the flowers, it's just

39
00:02:03,413 --> 00:02:06,853
Speaker 3: unbelievably beautiful. But in autumn they have out of these

40
00:02:06,893 --> 00:02:10,333
Speaker 3: wonderful autumn colors. So this is the thing. If I

41
00:02:10,413 --> 00:02:11,693
Speaker 3: go to the stage, you know, when I was in

42
00:02:14,693 --> 00:02:17,893
Speaker 3: America or went to headquarters in Silver Spring, not far

43
00:02:18,013 --> 00:02:20,133
Speaker 3: down the road from where you are. I would see

44
00:02:20,173 --> 00:02:23,253
Speaker 3: dogwoods everywhere, and we end the end planted them in

45
00:02:23,293 --> 00:02:25,733
Speaker 3: our gardens in New Zealand, Julie and I, and that

46
00:02:25,973 --> 00:02:28,973
Speaker 3: was the exactly yeah, why not. You can have those

47
00:02:29,053 --> 00:02:31,933
Speaker 3: right here as well. So if you see something that

48
00:02:32,013 --> 00:02:36,253
Speaker 3: you really enjoy, get an eye naturalist photograph, identify it

49
00:02:36,293 --> 00:02:38,453
Speaker 3: and make it note of what it is, and you

50
00:02:38,493 --> 00:02:40,733
Speaker 3: can use it in your own gardens.

51
00:02:40,373 --> 00:02:45,053
Speaker 2: Because they have like the kind of white flowers or

52
00:02:45,093 --> 00:02:47,733
Speaker 2: the kind of pinky red flowers, right the different.

53
00:02:47,973 --> 00:02:51,533
Speaker 3: Exactly, Yeah, that's right. So that's one of the examples

54
00:02:51,533 --> 00:02:55,213
Speaker 3: that I got literally or important if you like, as

55
00:02:55,213 --> 00:02:57,733
Speaker 3: an idea from the US. And I know you've got

56
00:02:57,773 --> 00:02:59,693
Speaker 3: the same eye because you started off with that. A's

57
00:02:59,733 --> 00:03:04,093
Speaker 3: so called. Now Julie's favorite is another American thing. It's

58
00:03:04,133 --> 00:03:07,373
Speaker 3: called Philadelphus. I think it comes from Philadelphia, but it's

59
00:03:07,413 --> 00:03:12,653
Speaker 3: another story. And Philadelphis is another one over those things

60
00:03:12,653 --> 00:03:16,493
Speaker 3: that is absolutely gorgeous. Right now in our hero at

61
00:03:16,493 --> 00:03:18,653
Speaker 3: the back of the fence, she wax it onto a

62
00:03:18,773 --> 00:03:20,973
Speaker 3: fence and I would put it into as sort of

63
00:03:21,013 --> 00:03:27,893
Speaker 3: an rather unruly hatch configuration. But again, you can get

64
00:03:27,933 --> 00:03:31,093
Speaker 3: them here at the garden centers too. And it is

65
00:03:31,133 --> 00:03:34,173
Speaker 3: one of those wonderful things.

66
00:03:33,173 --> 00:03:37,253
Speaker 2: Gorgeous, So it's kind of a it's kind of a climber, right, it's.

67
00:03:37,013 --> 00:03:43,293
Speaker 3: It exactly, but as an unruly fence or what do

68
00:03:43,373 --> 00:03:48,173
Speaker 3: you call it, As an unruly vamp, you get it

69
00:03:48,213 --> 00:03:51,573
Speaker 3: as an as as something that stands down, stands out

70
00:03:51,613 --> 00:03:53,533
Speaker 3: with its color Stet's really what I was going to say.

71
00:03:54,013 --> 00:03:57,173
Speaker 3: And then for me so far, we talked a lot

72
00:03:57,173 --> 00:03:59,293
Speaker 3: about white and orange and all that, but I'm also

73
00:03:59,333 --> 00:04:04,253
Speaker 3: a color fan of blue. So there's a mechanopsis that

74
00:04:04,733 --> 00:04:08,133
Speaker 3: I'm into. Mechanopsis is like an if you like an

75
00:04:09,893 --> 00:04:12,133
Speaker 3: a plant that comes up. It's really hard to grow,

76
00:04:12,173 --> 00:04:15,293
Speaker 3: by the way, but it's got this unbelievable blue and

77
00:04:15,333 --> 00:04:17,613
Speaker 3: I've asked nobody to put it on the website actually

78
00:04:17,693 --> 00:04:21,093
Speaker 3: because it's gorgeous, but it has a couple of negative things.

79
00:04:21,213 --> 00:04:24,853
Speaker 3: Very tricky to grow. It's very difficult to sow as

80
00:04:24,853 --> 00:04:27,613
Speaker 3: a seed. I've had some success, but not that often,

81
00:04:27,933 --> 00:04:30,413
Speaker 3: and it's very sensitive and you split them up as well,

82
00:04:30,693 --> 00:04:32,573
Speaker 3: and you do that in the early spring, you know,

83
00:04:32,653 --> 00:04:35,253
Speaker 3: which is a bit lade now, but this is the point.

84
00:04:35,733 --> 00:04:38,493
Speaker 3: You could put it in shade in it no falls

85
00:04:39,053 --> 00:04:42,093
Speaker 3: and you have wonderful manners at the base of it

86
00:04:42,453 --> 00:04:45,333
Speaker 3: and everything will be honky doory. Great.

87
00:04:45,613 --> 00:04:48,653
Speaker 2: Yeah. The blue is so I mean, it's incredible. It's

88
00:04:48,653 --> 00:04:52,613
Speaker 2: so intense but violent blue difficult to grow. Is probably

89
00:04:52,613 --> 00:04:54,573
Speaker 2: not going to do well well at our place, but

90
00:04:54,613 --> 00:04:57,173
Speaker 2: it is. It is a really really deep and kind

91
00:04:57,173 --> 00:04:59,893
Speaker 2: of intense blue. It almost looks like a like a

92
00:04:59,893 --> 00:05:01,653
Speaker 2: fungi kind of blue or something.

93
00:05:01,493 --> 00:05:05,733
Speaker 3: Don't you think exactly exactly, And it's shown as the

94
00:05:05,773 --> 00:05:08,053
Speaker 3: blue pop Yeah yeah, yeah.

95
00:05:07,893 --> 00:05:10,253
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah right, well that makes sense once you

96
00:05:10,293 --> 00:05:12,493
Speaker 2: see it. Yeah, okay, well, look we'll put that photo

97
00:05:12,533 --> 00:05:14,133
Speaker 2: on the on the website so people can go and

98
00:05:14,173 --> 00:05:15,653
