- Michael Bowell has a thing for plants. It all started surprisingly with Viburnums, but later lent its way to tropical plants, which spurred him to build a series of greenhouses to house his plant obsessions.
This Houseplant Home Tour is graciously brought to us by Espoma Organic. You can find out more about them at www.espoma.com.

Beautiful 🌸 He has an amazing memory!!!
What a delightful guy! Loved this episode !!
DELIGHTED to see Michael swear around half an hour in - heartfelt and emotional, just as it should be! Thanks for including it
thanks for the share ,such sweet reportage , such a sweet place and Michael is a fantastic and positive guy , love him a lot as you to , can't get enought of you videos , hmmm can't wait to see more of this , thank you , Carl
I absolutely love these tours. I would love to hang out with this guy. I'm sure you just scratched the surface of what this guy has. I would love to see it all. Please keep these tours going. From personal greenhouses to botanical gardens.
I grew up right up the street from Michael and he was very patient when I was a teenager of 14 getting into orchids and plants. Your video encouraged me to seek him back out and we reconnected for the first time since 1998. Because of your video we had a wonderful, nice long talk on the phone. If you're ever in the Charlotte area, I'd love to show you around the horticultural jewels as well as the sunroom that I built on to my condominium and my hybrid tea rose garden.
Omg the hotub!!!! So dreamy
I thoroughly enjoyed every single story he told! How nice it would be to be in his lovely greenhouse and learn about the fun history of all the plants in it!
Yes more of him at a revisit please. How delightful
Summer, thanks for introducing Michael Bowell and his beautiful spirit of loving life while caring for his lovely plants.
BEST TYPE OF PLANTVIDEOS EVER
Being about the same age as Michael, I really appreciate the association of his plants with the time in his life/friends/experiences. I do that with my plants, some of which I've had for 40+ years. Wow, to have a greenhouse like that! Beautiful. So fun and extraordinary!
In a world of white boxes, everything just so insta perfect, this was it! I love people like this. That moment when you were on the second floor and you said " This is just.... " and you paused, to take it all in, that was so great. I would have done the same thing.
He puts me to shame in the best way possible!!! I’m just amazed at all of the plants he has, knows and takes care of. And then to find out he also took care of so many types of animals through the years!!! Magnificent! What a glorious home. It must be so wonderful to enjoy a cup of coffee among the orchids in the morning! What a great person!
Zany and fun tour 🌿
I luv how he has a story for almost every plant in his collection. This greenhouse is basically his life history in the form of plants.
Such unique greenhouses, not following any trends, just based on the love of plants and flowers. A real indoor garden. Thanks for another great tour!
I could listen and look at his collection for hoursss ! This was something really special and I don't really know why, but it was !
So beyond belief! I just love it. A plant hoarder's delight. I'm sick with Envy. Thank you, everyone. XOXO
This was just so amazing. Michael is quite the character and I can so relate to his post Cov philosophy. Thank you so much for these wonderful videos Summer and a big hello from Mexico.
❤❤❤
all of this madness is my craziness!!!
I love orchids, bromeliads, ferns, philo and all of it. and the banana too!
Summer, I really love your "TV" should I say. As i always say, I'm still learning all this greens and flowers. I know I can't sleep tonight thinking about plants! ❤❤❤
One of my favorites of all time!
I would love the lockdowns too if I lived in an endless greenhouse.
I look forward to your plant tours, I love the stories and seeing plants that are decades old and still thriving. Your guest are so passionate and inspirational. Thank you for doing this for us.
Started shrieking as soon as you went into the citrus house and he pointed out his pink lemon!! That is THE wishlist plant for me
A lovely tour through a never-ending greenhouse. How fantastic 😃
Something about him reminds me of Robin Williams, I haven’t even finished the garden tour but oh man is it beyond gorgeous.
Summer, Thank you so very much for these beautiful journeys. Each visit to a different place heightens my awareness and appreciation of planet earth and its inhabitants--plants, birds, animals, and the people who love them... and, the special people like you who know and share their names.
Videos like this make me want a greenhouse 😆
I have a back porch I built myself- I call it my plant porch. It's got posts, big windows, brick and concrete floor and corrugated see-through roofing. Since it attaches to the house and it's small I don't worry too much about air-conditioning but definitely have to heat it in the winter with a little ventless heater that hangs on the wall. Attached to that I have a long narrow room I use to save rainwater in rubber trash cans. I call it my water room. Yes ideally I would love to have a great big Greenhouse off my house like he has.
I absolutely love his stories! The connection he has with his plants is amazing. ❤️
Wow wow wow such a JOY!
lovely man with lovely stories and what experiences and beautiful spaces
Thanks Summer for being out there .... doing these tours as they are just wow!
Much appreciate and sending green positives from Singapore
These videos are so amazing. I watch so many plant colleection videos on youtube, but people like this are above and beyond. Great stuff, he's soing what he loves!
What a wonderful tour ! I would feel as if I had died and gone to heaven if I could live in a place like that !!!
I THINK NORTHAMERICAN COLLECTORS ARE BLESSED TO HAVE CENTRAL AND SOUTHAMERICAN BUSHES AND PLANTSHOPS CLOSE THAT THEY CAN ENJOY THE REALLY TROPICAL GARDEN
What a wonderful tour ~ Michael comes across as such a fascinating & entertaining person, and what a collection!
I just love plant crazy people and their greenhouses!
i love this man. i enjoy his sense of humor. i kept laughing through out the video. it’s a beautiful space but i can see why people asked to use his space or be there, he has a wonderful personality - the plants aren’t bad either lol
Another fantastic tour. Thanks Summer and Saunder!! Michael is a hoot I can see why everyone would want to go to his dinner parties. I just love your laugh Summer. Thanks guys❤
She laughed a lot in this! I don't think I've seen her happier
I LOVE THESE TOURS!!!!! His place is fantastic. Truly.
That upstairs bit is so cool, and the view ~beautiful! Thanks
Marvellous episode! Thank you all very much 😍🙏🏼🙏🏼🙋🏻♀️💚❤️
I absolutely adored this video! also love how he dressed like a fuchsia flower
When I lived in DE Peppers was my go to place for plants and mental rejuvenation.
Love ferns they are really just as interesting as anything the the oldest out of everything.
I loved this tour; it felt so personal.
My favourite visit yet!
As a crazy orchid enthusiast, I thoroughly enjoyed this video;)
If I went into that greenhouse, I would never leave! Michael shared some really neat stories, however I bet those plants could tell us all kinds of stories.
Wow what a green house/home,
loved it !!
💚🌵🪴🌱
So nice to hear about the trials and tribulations of those working in such a large greenhouse!! It's so cool to learn about how someone with such a prolific collection problem solves, and to know that they fail with their plants too! 🤣
Gloriosa Lily needs a bigger pot and room for tubers to regenerate. Each year the tubers will get larger if there is room. Then the vine will be stronger, bigger & produce larger more abundant blooms. Here in SWFL they will pop up 6" - 18" from the previous. I had to put them in pots to contain & found they didn't thrive as well due to space.
The bamboo is a great idea for it to climb but it's probably choking the tubers. Hope this helps Michael
I love the indoor decor with all the string lights, very nice!
Loved this tour. Such a cool guy and loved the plants
Woo, J&L Orchids!! Shop from them all the time.
What an amazing and wild greenhouse tour pack with variety of beautiful plants.I love and enjoy the tour and the stories behind.
That phaedranassa tunguraguae is somethin beautiful!
I thoroughly enjoyed the tour!
I think the name of the plant that goes from lavender to white is called Brunsfelsia latifolia or Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.
Please keep taking us on these wonderful tours. I Iive in the West Indies.
Michael is incredible! Absolutely loved this tour and the vibe of his place.
I am one of them “Crazy people”. I love orquíds. I am living in South Florida and here is very hot for them. I create a nice environment for them under my fruit trees and they love it. I have so many that I lost track.
What a wonderful display of love between nature & guardian! I love plants, but I’m unable to have many due to my kitties. It would be wonderful to see an episode on plants that are safe for animals. 😊
Wow wow wow !!!!!
Such a magnificent world
Always watching from the Philippines 🇵🇭🌿
Oh thank you!!
Beautiful
Beautiful green house
This is freaking amazing
I love this guy!
Wow very nice video thank you for sharing 👍👌😍
Absolutely he should just be telling stories of his plants as he does basic care. Some of us have no idea of the very specifics of care for some of our plants. And only older gardeners would have the true experiential tips that could help us not give up on plants the don't seem to thrive for us.
I bought some variegated Aspidistras from Plant Delights and they finally arrived a couple days ago! I enjoy occasionally browsing their website and if I ever vacation in NC, I hope to be able to go in person.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. I live in hot & humid Singapore & my piper crocatum didn’t like growing indoors. I set it out on my balcony and let it grow up a tension rod about a year ago. It’s almost reaching the ceiling which is about 9 feet tall. The largest leaves are 7 inches long by 5 inches wide and it’s also put out about 5 offshoots. I almost wish it didn’t grow so fast as I’m running out of space
Always luv your content and your amazing people you interview! Thank you 🙏 Fan doe life.
I just love love these videos to start my plant day, thanks so much
Amazing spaces and the story to go along with the plants is so cool. :)
Another awesome video, awkward beginning story tho 😂😂😂 but very nice tour thank you!
They have spent so much time with Ficus elastica 'Ruby' in the background.
Although they did not mention it, if you liked that Rubber Tree with the white and red splotches on the leaves, now you know the name by which to order it.
I have seen it offered also under the names "Pink Ruby" and "Ruby Red."
Another great video, and I was thrilled to find out the name of a ground cover that I have, Centradenia floribunda. I bought this about 9 years ago and absolutely love it. I live in s.e. Florida and this spreads like crazy.
How wonderful to visit Michael and his greenhouse(s). He's quite the character and all of the proper names of the plants that you two have is just amazing!!!
I love your videos, so much info in each one, such inspiration.
Thank you. FlowerLady
Lovely tour!
Such an inspiring tour! 🥹
THAT is an incredible collection!! 👏
So beautiful 😻
Great tour. thank you!
Thank you for another inspiring video, with beautiful plants and people!!! As you spoke about it briefly in this video, I would be really interested in the topic of combining plants in a future video! This is for indoor plants but also plants outdoors, as I'm starting a balcony garden with herbs and some veggies. Indoors it's more of a space issue, that's why I often wondered, which plants might share a pot and form a group well. For the outdoors it's about a good harvest of course. Thank you for this great content, as always!!!!
This is wonderful. Inspiring me to get orchids!
Greetings from Costa Rica! I love your very informative videos!
What an absolute Wonderland. I watched it twice. I loved that the glasshouses just went on and on. What plant was that massive root that was tied on to the roof attached to?!
maxwell house!The preferred greenhouse coffee
35:41 complicated naming, on internet I find it named Heterocentron elegans (and other names), but in horticulture it is known as Centradenia
this is the dream🌌
Woww always love to see it 😍
😭😭Hot tub in the greenhouse
Love from Argentina summer ♡
You could have 3 more videos from his houses!
OK for some reason I was too overwhelmed.
Did Summer actually leave at the end of the tour or just hide in one of the greenhouses and walk around like a happy bunny exploring every corner ? haha I like to think she stayed for a day at least : )
Summer Rayne it's my religion
Hello!
New friend here
I thought all the otatea acuminata died off in the last couple years due to gregarious flowering?! does anyone know the status of the species?
Hello is the sand paper vine a fast grower?
🤣🤣 he is soooooooo, correct about chiggers. Once it happens to you it will never happen to you again!! Do not bring home Spanish Moss from GA or Southern Carolina!! Don't do it!!! They will decimate your entire orchid and Garden collection!
