0:10 hello topiary goofy hello spaceship

0:14 earth hello in sync

0:18 welcome everyone Adam hit the whoo here

0:21 I'm officially back in Florida for a

0:23 short time and have returned to one of

0:25 my all-time favorite places Epcot Center

0:28 I love it here and I love gardens and

0:32 flowers and food and I have dragged

0:34 along with me one of my good friends

0:36 Jason and we are going to explore the

0:38 sights the sounds and the wonderful

0:41 smells of the special events the food

0:44 the flavors the flowers and the fun join

0:48 me

0:49 cool

0:57 refreshments join me tell you first stop

0:57 of the day the butterfly house also

0:59 named the goodness garden sponsored by

1:03 gogo squeeZ Oh free samples thank you

1:07 they are all kept nice and cozy under

1:10 this netted area and they even have the

1:13 stages the cycle of life starting from

1:16 the egg the larva up to adulthood this

1:19 guy's just chillin on the limb it's a

1:22 little windy and the branches kind of

1:25 slightly glowing to and fro but he's got

1:28 a good spot to relax and everyone's

1:31 looking at him but they don't realize

1:32 the butterfly is actually staring back

1:34 it says it's a staring contest might be

1:38 tough to see it but there's another one

1:39 perched down there towards the ground

1:42 he's kind of in disguise is incognito

1:45 that's almost like a stealth mode

1:47 butterfly and the rest of them are

1:49 trying to escape but they can't because

1:51 this netting keeps them all in here for

1:54 everyone to enjoy

1:55 I'll be the first to admit I am NOT a

1:57 flower self-proclaimed aficionado I do

2:00 not know the different types and species

2:02 of foliage but this one is one you

2:05 rarely see I'm not familiar with this

2:08 particular one almost looks like that

2:10 looks like a star looking at the display

2:12 board the best I can tell the one I was

2:15 just looking at is a passion vine or

2:19 maybe a Cosmo they look very similar you

2:22 could have either been a passion vine or

2:23 a Cosmo there it is the money shot

2:28 monorail interview just cruising pass

2:32 the beautiful flowers and this doesn't

2:35 all happen by accident

2:37 lots of work goes into this beauty back

2:43 there's a gentleman over here watering

2:46 them down you want to keep them keeping

2:48 hydrated - one of them has escaped it's

2:51 outdoors next to Chippendale and Daisy a

2:54 butterfly we have a butterfly out of it

2:58 out in the elements this little section

2:59 has been designated the how to garden

3:02 feeling creative let this little garden

3:05 inspire you there topiaries have gone to

3:08 the dogs it's true there are dogs right

3:12 there and on the top of their house are

3:15 living breathing plants making the roof

3:18 this is a pretty neat idea take ordinary

3:20 bland cinder blocks and turn them into

3:23 concrete planters or if you're feeling

3:27 extra crafty terracotta made into bent

3:34 into a person sitting on a bench whoa

3:35 whoa watch out it would be it would be

3:39 safe to say that those winged creatures

3:42 might might sting each hive is home to a

3:47 single colony of honeybees who are busy

3:50 pollinating collecting nectar and making

3:52 honey I don't think there's real insects

3:55 in there it's just a it's just a prop

3:56 just an example but that's where the

3:59 bees live well that's where they

4:01 pollinate at least of course no festival

4:02 would be complete without the proper

4:05 merchandise anything with pigments on

4:08 the front of it I immense ooh

4:11 get all Figment now you were saying

4:13 there is a special magnet that they have

4:15 at her specifically at this time of the

4:17 year where do we find us is a flower and

4:20 garden magnet I think that is I think

4:23 there's two different ones actually

4:24 they're doing one for like two weeks or

4:26 something and then there's a different

4:27 one for the next two weeks can we get

4:29 both or only one of the time one of the

4:30 time there's two of us twenty like but

4:34 you got to come back again

4:35 all right get stuck at one in a few

4:37 weeks I'll be here where are the magnets

4:41 Pooh where are the magnet piglets he or

4:45 have you seen the special edition

4:48 magnets I was just informed by a cast

4:50 member that they can be picked up at the

4:52 front of the park next to club pool so

4:54 I'm gonna do the full loop around

5:02 so once the loop around World Showcase

5:02 is complete I will receive my pass

5:05 holder button sound good tank looks like

5:09 quite a battle is happening right here

5:10 Peter Pan versus hook if hook is bested

5:14 does that mean he's beaten get it beaten

5:22 these two at one point were barely even

5:25 friends then somebody bins unexpectedly

5:31 stopped in Florida fresh to pick up the

5:34 first food item of the day blackened

5:36 shrimp and grits and it would not be a

5:39 festival here at Epcot if one did not

5:42 eat on top of a trash can

5:52 very flavorful

6:04 wolf my thing a little a little bit my

6:04 fear than I thought it would be

6:05 ingredients include brown gravy some

6:08 relish corn and I think maybe even a

6:12 little bit of some pepper some green

6:15 peppers down in there I have to admit

6:17 that was a little spicier than what I am

6:19 used to there's not expecting the the

6:21 kick when I was first starting to eat it

6:23 didn't seem like it was going to be that

6:25 hot but now my taste buds are aflame

6:49 if you've ever been in the mood for

6:50 pigment to tell your fortune there is

6:54 right there and here he has a paintbrush

6:56 is creating magic

7:00 here in this gift shop this hummingbird

7:02 feeder is pretty nifty hummingbirds are

7:06 amazing amazing creature how fast their

7:10 wings whether they just hurt right there

7:11 and flirt out there their food their

7:15 wings moves so incredibly quick when you

7:17 first enter the park you grab this book

7:19 and inside they have a list of all the

7:23 different locations that you can

7:25 purchase food throughout World Showcase

7:29 at the different country so if you're

7:31 hungry for a certain item you have kind

7:35 of a little map where to go next to the

7:38 American pavilion now there is a BBQ

7:41 stand and the lines are very lengthy

7:44 you have to wait quite a bit to get your

7:46 favorite delicacy and this is proof over

7:48 the line stretches all the way back here

7:51 just first met this pop-up store sells

7:54 very cool looking dolls

7:58 got Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

8:00 grumpy happy sneezy doc dopey sleepy and

8:04 bashful and over here are a different

8:07 interpretation of the dwarfs

13:52 distant hug it's like you know people

13:58 multitude of other events they have out
