I’m a grad student doing floristic work on the Amphibolite mountains in northwest NC. So stoked to see you have some videos in the southeast. Your videos wake up my passions for the non-human world. Academia and bureaucracy have a tendency to kill my buzz. Also, so sick to see you and Lily checking out stuff in the panhandle. She’s killing it with her content on the flora of Florida! Come to the southern Appalachians sometime! The temp. rainforest will welcome your dago ass!
Southern Appalachia is tops! The piedmont still has some relict hidden gems like the granitic flatrocks with an unusual array of endemic and uncommon species.
My teenage grandson is in agriculture class this year & digging it! Amazing what he's learned from just hanging around his old granny all these years, now he's ahead of most the other kids. He's got a teacher who's not a jack off so that's nice too. Yours are videos he'll actually watch with me & he's appreciating me letting the natives grow, he's not made to cut grass 😊 I've taught him how to swear effectively & drive a stick shift, my work here is done! Thanks Joey for your passion, I watched a commercial for diamonds in respect for the need to pay for puppy treats.
Your story touched me SOOO MUCH!!! I'm telling you! He's going to remember ALL THE TIME yous guys spent together in the yard working together. Its memories tha he wouldn't trade for 10 trillion dollars!! I have them with someone whome REALLY got my love and passion going for working with plants.
As a 5th generation Floridian, it is a pleasant surprise to hear this guy appreciate and understand Florida as much as he does. Most Floridians never do. Thanks for the tour.
That friend Lily is an incredible resource over on the Florida Native Plant Society chapter youtube channel. Her video on carniverous plants is terrific
Hey Joey if you're still in Florida or next time you visit, I'd love to show you the University of Florida's teaching forest. It's used as an extension tool and lab site to show the importance of wildfires/ prescribed burns and how different burns at different times of the year will effect the growth of that year. We have stands designated for each burn regime and it's really stunning to see how important fire ecology is in this environment
This level of aggressive admiration of nature is truly enviable. I love this, and I always learn new stuff when I watch these videos. Thank you so much.
CPBBD in my hometown \m/ EPIC! It's not all Miami and Disney here in FL, but don't tell anybody ;) I hope you had a nice time. Thank you for all your vids.
Great video Joey. Currently about 30 miles to the west of this video, saw tons of that Lupine flowering in the dunes and they are stunners! Super interesting stuff in the Apalachicola region if you can avoid the cops and obnoxiously Caucasian vacationers.
My first ever youtube comment but man I've been watching you for years. I grew up in Tallahassee and would often go down to Wakulla and St. George Island so imagine my surprise when I opened up the app and saw this! All the nature around north florida really shaped my childhood and was what made me go into environmental stuff in college. Amazing video as always :)
It always makes me happt to see someone appreciate and spread positivity around florida ecisystems and southeast pinelands bc i always felr they were super underappreciated when I was doing fire ecology research. Theres so much more than bugs and gators
This area is where I've spent the last 40+ years every summer, my secret Fishing hole has been outed. Ochlockonee Bay is where I caught the largest fish of my life, a Black Drum that when held vertical was as tall as myself (have photo), didn't have a weight scale that wouldn't bottom out, in excess of 60+ lbs.
I grew up with that sound. I effing took it for granted. North Tampa out in what was the sticks with lakes all around...slash pine, longleaf pine (southern edge of its range), tree frogs, whipoor whils, screech owls, sandhill cranes, gopher tortoises...now it is all cookie cutter homes with shtty people living shtty lives breeding and breeding more of the cancer blindly...turf grass pavement and monoculture culture. Depressing and it makes me smile knowing I had something that they will never have cause they are just drones eating the world.
Here in Wakula County that would be the Ochlockonee River, the Apalachicola River, lower portion is located in Franklin county (*), about another 25 miles West. (*)- up until a few years ago Franklin county did not have a Traffic Stop Light, it had one Blinking Red light in Apalachicola. P.S.- in case you haven't noticed but the North Florida Swamp Scrubs is NOT Fit for Human Habitation, Snakes, Gators, Bears, Thousands of kinds of Blood-sucking Bugs, plants that cut you with a thousand cuts, even disease like Yellow Fever, which has been mostly gotten rid of, but I love it all the same
Approx. 10 miles north of where you're at is Wewahitchka, The Tupelo Honey Capitol, more Tupelo Honey is produced there than anywhere else in the world.
Thanks for what you do to educate and inspire people to care more about the natural ecosystem around us. I get really depressed driving through the plains in Colorado where I live since it’s just been absolutely decimated for corn and soybeans along with the rest of our awful developments. I’m trying to do some service by working with my local community garden, city, and finding my own spots to add natives back to the cesspool that is middle America. Again I appreciate the hard work you do and there’s others like yourself who don’t want to make the earth a barren dirt patch for profit.
Yeh please don't get Meatball Sandwich spun up...he's like a Disney villain IRL except he's real and Disney does suck...so...the enemy of my enemy is just another enemy in a sized too small suit.
This must be your most beautiful video yet and that's saying something ! Just amazed to see Taxodium ascendens in its' native habitat. I was told that ascendens and distichum could be found together. Real happy to hear this is so. Those frogs just turned that place into a heaven on Earth! I could have watched hours of this !! A landscape that time forgot almost with waterlilies and magnolia. I've got a grove of taxodium here and the intermediate form too. Glyptostrobus mixed in with them as they were in preglacial times in Europe and elsewhere. All rising from a sea of giant Equisetum hyemale affine, with osmunda and tree ferns.
They hybridize...some even do weird stuff like dwarf for no reason even without the limited substrate. Sometimes the growth rate is just massive and a half way upright leaves yet feathery somewhat. Nutty genus.
@@fuxan So hybrids are known in the wild too then?I wonder why they are not more known in cultivation. These dwarf ascendens are stunning and should be grown in gardens !!
Effing brutally sad isn't it? Never thought I'd see them go so quickly. People used to say "oh they'll be here next year" Next year came and it was halved I kid you not.
Lupine seed could be collected easily enough but most people don't live on deep scrub sand. You really have to take the seeds and plant them directly at the site or they outgrow their pots too fast for nurseries to keep stock. The Florida native plant society is a decently sized group but yea we need more native nurseries
I'm working on a southeast natives only nursery...building knowledge first. Still deciding on a name for it. "A Sense of Place - Southeast Native Plant Nursery" was one idea...so was green eyes but people wouldn't get it...the normies at least. Oh and Hi my name is Brian Fuxan I've got an odd last name and I'm an odd person. Original Tampon out of Florida.
What a fabulous place! Thanks for helping those of us who can't travel see and hear these things. So totally different from the basin and range province.
If you come to Morristown Tennessee I can show you some crazy plants. I got a greenhouse full of native ginseng and bloodroot and an entire untouched forest that is popping off
South Florida here, PB county. We have about 2% scrub left, preserved through public dollars. There are two Quercus geminata in my front yard with Licania michauxii underneath. Lots of native plants. Thank you for your work. Speaking for scrub: Some years ago, a state park had a burn permit. The wind changed and the fire started jumping around. It crossed US1 in Martin County and burned the scrub on the other side of US1 too. The road was shut down due to smoke.This was a catastrophic fire, which scrub needs from time to time. It was the best thing that could have happened. A brief time of inconvenience that turned out better than OK . Jonathan Dickinson State Park. They still have scrub jays and lots of wonders.
Here in the southeast nothing says "I've been traipsing through the thick of it" quite like a fresh crop of chigger bites and a fat rake of greenbriar scratches across your calf.
I’m up in the outer banks of NC, so I see a lot of the plants in this video. I got Opuntia Drummondii in a pot on my porch right now!! And the yard is covered in pityopsis and Oenothera.
Another magical place! Thanks for sharing. Normally "nature" footage seems to induce calm, or even mild depression from the ego-loosening of seeing all the beauty and realize how much is being destroyed, and far too many mistakenly associate being calm, even just slowing down a bit, or getting sleepy-depressive, as "boredom", but YOU make sure to keep viewers awake, and never-stopping enlightening WHY it's special and interesting, certainly should not be a field exclusive to more or less dry and elitist academics... Why could not more talk more akin to a sports announcer where they go on about completely unimportant nonsense, but about something deep and complex that evolved in the real world, and make it "COOL" for youth and older people too. I think the majority of human creativity originates from our natural surroundings, each time, from the first detailed drawings & photos of microscopic life to deep space imagery it leaves a big impression on everyone, and so should botany, geology, anything else that took millions of years to form, but somehow for many, once we know the (mostly) exact shape of a virus or a galaxy it is no longer interesting? as it no longer induces the imagination to go wild? when that should still do so at least to some extent, nothing's truly ever a closed book, there can always be more questions. You mention videogames a lot... But if it wasn't for digital photography I'd probably not have started, instant gratification unlike the skill and patience analog photography or painting requires.
Hey Tony, you did it again, a great video. It's amazing how much we have learned from you about local flora even though we have been living in FL for over 10 years. You just need to stop and see your surroundings. How amazing the details are... In this video we saw several plants that we know they grow on our local dunes. Looking forward to the next video, hopefully from FL. Best regards.
Hey Tony. Nothing wrong with a can of sauce in your pocket. the Mustard Garlic is starting to pop. (Alliaria petiolata) Nice. Copypasta. Makes a nice pesto, or gravy. =D
I could definitely spend 10+ hours staring at that incredibly beautiful landscape!! And I wouldn't even need a dose! What a photo frame you had on that waterscape w the bonsai-whosit-trees (cypress?) and the water lilies!!! I mean, you could easily make that a life-size mural, slap that up on your wall, and spend a few hours staring at THAT on the days it's not possible to visit in person. (altho, I realize doing THAT is taking part in the problems the human tumor makes for this planet on a daily basis, so... I guess, nevermind...) And that tree top view near the end!! Gosh ...it's just... I was going to say gorgeous... But even THAT word doesn't sound worthy. There's just not words that are good enough. I don't know how to make more people understand, so I'll vote w you on the forced 10 hour commitment !!! I think it's worth a shot! Can we start woth politicians?!!! At any rate- It's the best idea I've heard so far! Give me a call when you're ready for volunteers to get that lil' project started!! 🤭
Its interesting you put this up right around the same time that Meat Eater did a video about controlled burns in Florida and the importance of them, how much more they need to be done in florida as well as in many other parts of the country. Its really interesting just how fast the burn occurs and is over
Chamaecyparis thyoides is one of my favorite trees native to the East Coast. The New Jersey Pine Barrens has some of the largest stands of Atlantic White Cedar, some of them are massive and they tend to block out most of the sunlight. To think it’s nearest relatives are in California and Japan/Taiwan…
Atlantic white cedar habitats are amazing. There's a very southern pop in the ONF in Mormon branch near silver Glenn springs... Freaking biodiverse AF. I grow AWC's in my yard and one of them isn't even in a very wet spot. I swear they make the soil so much more palatable to switch cane and Lyonia.
I'm pretty sure Patreon or members or something get the video earlier than everyone else, I saw a comment on his last vid that was posted 3 days before the video was posted for us.
How? Omg you missed out...go for like 2 seconds outside to the ANF and it's there beyond the shadow of humanity...it could be in people's yards if they put down the big boy tools for one sec. Panhandle is a biodiversity Hotspot in the east US.
we actually do lots of controlled burns here in FL it's just that the jungle grows back faster than you can cut/burn it down, especially near residential areas. One good fire every 10 years is more typical than 1-3, but the Jungle can grow back a lot in "only" 10 years, as you can see. Take whatever growth you're used to and at LEAST double it. They don't call us The Flower" for nothing.

As a Floridian, every inch is like 3 feet to me.
Clermont is basically the mountains to me.
I’m glad you’re doing videos on the east coast! Very cool plants out here.
Heyyyy this is my neighborhood. Thanks man I was hoping you’d make it this way so I could know what to start planting instead of grass in the yard
Those frogs sound amazing. I could fall asleep in minutes.

Sandhill milkweed is like the rave party of Asclepias...all neon and flashy...it trips so hard it has to crawl a bit.
not usually into fungii but that false flower is fucking up my whole ass brain
Same
Lyonia is already nutty on its own. Perfect description in the vid with the magic of AI floral designs.
Love the shout out for our Florida State Parks
For real...they are fairly good at removing non-native invasives...and then there are county parks or worse...anything FFWC or DNR own...
Your encores are always the best! Not sure what the frogs were saying but it made way more sense than anything i hear from humans. Cheers, Tony

How? Omg you missed out...go for like 2 seconds outside to the ANF and it's there beyond the shadow of humanity...it could be in people's yards if they put down the big boy tools for one sec.
Panhandle is a biodiversity Hotspot in the east US.
That is so sad! We have 19 species in the panhandle!
I love the way you say glaucus. ♡
mosquitoes are crepuscular. Loved the video and everyone should dose. One Love
That flower fungus is pretty rad
Sandhill milkweed grow in southern Mississippi as well!
Wow I've never seen eggs on sandhill milkweed. I thought it was too waxy tbh
We had these in Michigan? Very similar and the Monarch's stopped for them.
Asclepias has plants in many places in N. America, all important for Monarchs
That's one of the most awesome mushroom species I've ever seen
Wakullah springs is great. Lots of gators and it's where a few movies were made. 👍
the bird singing in the back ground is (Setophaga americana) Northern Parula
Very interesting
That's the coolest flower I've ever seen
we actually do lots of controlled burns here in FL it's just that the jungle grows back faster than you can cut/burn it down, especially near residential areas. One good fire every 10 years is more typical than 1-3, but the Jungle can grow back a lot in "only" 10 years, as you can see. Take whatever growth you're used to and at LEAST double it. They don't call us The Flower" for nothing.
I have made beef with the weed and feed industry cause of that.
well that aggressive growth back is one of the purposes of the burn
