From berry to beast: how Black Dragons are born

• 🐉 Baby dragons have hatched! Anthurium Black Dragon from our earlier video has been busy... and now we have baby dragons!
• 🐉 Each bright red berry holds a single seed, and the seeds sprout easily - usually in just 2 to 3 weeks. The seedlings start off slow, but here's the exciting part: some come out variegated, with white, purple, or even pink coloring!
• 🐉 No two are alike, and that's what makes Black Dragons some of the most unique houseplants out there. Everyone needs at least one in their jungle!

🌈 Golden Queen enormous Thai Mango with many names and one big reputation

Mango Kiew Yai - has many names! It is also known as Khaew Yai, Khao Yai, Kiew Yai, Cat Saigon, or Jin Huang, Golden Queen... It is a semi-dwarf mango originally from Taiwan, prized in Thailand for eating green or pickled. It is a cross between Ivory and Keitt, producing enormous, very ornamental fruit - firm, fiberless, and sweet, with floral and honey notes. It stays mostly green with a pink or yellow blush depending on climate. A late-season variety in Florida, ripening August to September. The tree has a vertical, dense canopy and strong anthracnose resistance, making it a great backyard pick.
