- Addendum: After corresponding with Dr. Michael Windham at Duke University who is an expert on Cheilanthoid Ferns (subfamily Cheilanthoideae in the fern family Pteridaceae) , the Astrolepis species featured here is actually new to science and has not been formally described. It was already on his radar. I thought it looked unusual.
In this episode we take a trip to the high elevations of Querétaro State, Mexico to check out a mountain that's composed entirely of marble (metamorphosed limestone).
Some of the plants we encounter are :
The Carnivorous Plant Pinguicula moranensis
Stevia pyrolifolia
Nolina parviflora
Stevia viscida
Agave montana
Quercus rugosaAgave salmiana ssp crassispina

Describe it and name it!
I suggest "gofakyurselfbaius"
I thought you sounded very delighted to meet that fern. I rejoice with you in your discovery!
'I don't hate people I just prefer when they are not around". HOLY SHIT! I'm right there with ya bro!
Amen to that!
@@ronslandscapedesignandbeyo2960I second or third this 😊
Jajajaja
yeah we are up to 8 billion of those things too, like seriously i feel like we had enough around 6 billion ago!
Joey's slipping in a Charles Bukowski quote there.
Before I started watching your channel I’d say “wow that’s a pretty plant”
Now I say “what the fuck is that and why the fuck does it do that?”
🤣🤣🤣 Same! My husband literally says to me, "You sound like that guy from Crime Pays!“
HOW DO YOU DO THAT!?
LOOK AT THIS!
OH WHAT IS THIS!?
those ferns are so vertical, makes me think it's to minimize the surface area that's exposed when the sun is high in the sky. like the opposite of what i did the last time i got sunburn.
Excellent observation 👍
Probably so
Holy smokes! A new video just dropped and it's 30 minutes long!!?? i Guess my fucking useless job can wait
You know what you gotta do is repair gutters - my cousin Jimmy can get you set up real nice. Thing is his leg gives him problems so he can't climb the ladder no more.
this is work theft and i am here to encourage you in your endeavors 😈🎉
Make sure you take a 30min shit on the company time after this
Its not like they wouldnt screw you over given the chance so fuck it

Thanks for reminding me of Oliver Sacks.
It is a shame so many municipalities in the American southwest chop off the inflorescences of these plants when they begin to emerge. Cities in LA and San Bernardino counties just use agave and hesperoyucca in place of concrete barriers to keep the property values up.
In L.A., it's even worse than that. I see rampant abuse of agaves every day. It's all the rage now to chop off all but the top leaves, I guess to make them have a vase shape instead of their natural shape. So of course without half their living leaves, they die. Century plants now living just five years, shoot up a bloom, then they're dead. And they're not allowed to have pups, either. And planting century plants in five foot wide parking strips, right next to sidewalks where people walk with babies in strollers and toddlers?? Great planning! [sarcasm]
I'm expecting the real fun to begin when the Washingtonia palms start to show the effects of this fad in trimming off half the live leaves. Without those horizontal leaves to feed the stem, the stems will grow weaker at the top, and one of these days in a windstorm, the stems will break, dumping huge palm frond clusters down on whoever is below.
I'm not a fan of palms and agaves, but if you're gonna grow them, treat them right!
This series has been pretty important in my journey to turn my entire yard into a butterfly refuge, thanks man.
tony joe @ 10,000 ft....coolness...
thank you Professor
Amen to that.
👍👍✌️🇨🇦@@ianmiles2505
Yours is one of my favorite channels. I wish I had tons more money to give so you could do even more of what you do. Thanks!
Thank you!
Some people don`t like plants. Others are mo` happy just to be near one.
I personally am just glad when my Orchids don`t beat me up or get too aggressive.
Thank you Tony.
a visual feast, thanks!
The Pings look like tiny royal guards, but actually serve a purpose! Always good shit Joey
You changed the way I look at my environment. Once again. from 13000 km around the globe. I had no idea wtf a chigger actually was, so I went on a "Hey google wtf is a chigger, read wikipedia" rabbit hole.
Most of my life I'd asssumed I was allergic to some forms of melaleuca. I love Melaleuca. I use its oil in my beard most days. Wondered why it didn't affect me like the tree. Spent quite a bit of my early life riding dirtbikes in, through, over and around melaleuca scrub. I've planted 3 in my kingdom... (It's a tiny kingdom) because they attract the lorikeets and honeyeaters.
Turns out it's not the paperbarks, it's Trombicula (eutrombicula) hirsti, the Scrub-itch mite, making me itch and giving me hives all along. Chiggers, the little fucks. All that and I got my senior citizen card today. Cheers Joey, gfy you glorious bastard ✌ 🇦🇺
Holy S#!+ a MONSTER agave. Wonder how old that one was?!
Pings and ferns you got to love this video
Thanks for bringing me along on your Mexican adventure. I needed this.
Just want to say how much I appreciate your videos and sharing your botanical dopamine with us. 💜
La Sierra Gorda de Querétaro is fantastic, absolutely another world. The ferns growing on rock next to magueyes (agaves) is all sorts of different places is something I love so much about Mexico, the ones in the north of the state of Morelos are also amazing, and of course, the ones in Oaxaca
Cool seeing pings in their native habitat.
i love the sound of the talus under your feet- like crunchy chimes or something. very soothing. thanks
Mira la vista de montañas! Què Bonito! Qué Lindo! Gracias 🙏
to me it looked like the mountain building process folded and uplifted the limestone, there would have been layers of rock on top of what's there now that have already been eroded away, so the rock would have been under immense pressure and strain. you can kind tell from how the layers and rock cleavage are more vertical rather than in the horizontal orientation the original calcium carbonate would have been deposited in. this can happen when two tectonic plates are smashing into one another.
Awesome Tony and crew........Another blockbuster presentation....You get us off the lounge......Every time.
Another awesome educational adventure thanks brother ❤❤ best wishes from Scotland 🏴🏴
Goddamit, Joey. Thank you for this video. Your excitement and passion is contagious as hell. I swear my eyes were leaking a little bit the entire time. WHAT A PARADISE.
Question: where I live we determine whether something is a tree or a shrub based on it's diameter at breast height. Would local ecologists consider a 10" wide agave to therefore be a tree? 😂 THATS HUGE!
Good stuff,,,,
Geez never heard of a desert fern, how cool is that!? And a fuzzy oak WTH…Pinguicula in the dry soil, amazing. What an interesting place, thanks for the show and tell, nice 🌿
I feel like you, @mywildbackyard, @zefrank, @lindsaynichole, and @casualgeographic would be the most epic collaboration! (I think I found you through Lindsay) And thank you for keeping the camera on the plants. You know the timestamp 😂
Did you catch Ze on exploding seeds? Best sound effects ever!
@katiekane5247 lol yes I did :D
Emphasis on @zefrank
Whoa...haven't thought of @zefrank since 2007-ish. Thanks for the reminder and sharing cool stuff.
Love the appreciation for nature in all of your videos
It's been fantastic learning about new plants and their ecological relations
Another great field trip with plants and geology. Thank you for making my day bright.
I know you should never meet your hero’s but I still really want to meet this guy.
Thanks!
Wow! Such beautiful country!
Fuck it. I’m going on a mushroom photo walk
Great video joey!
Why not try to get a camera company to sponsor your videos so you can have the magnification to show us the little details.
Just a suggestion.
Ahh yeah!!! Watched this on the Summer Solstice. Absolute banger! Incredible ecology at 10,000ft. Wtf. Thanks, so much Joey, & cheers, from Southern Oregon. (Planning a walkabout in the Kalmiopsis Wilderness this Summer. Awesome flowers going off right now.) 🙏🫵
Loves your vids. Also who doesn't love some good carnivorous plants?
Desert fern doesn’t sound like it should exist 😂
There's at least one species like that in California, which I learned about a few years ago. So not a huge surprise for me, but nice to see them up close in the video. Bottom line is they really only need free water to reproduce, not necessarily to stay alive. (Don't know if I'm saying this right.) Sort of like the mosquitoes that have recently immigrated to California, that fly and bite in the daytime, and only need a tiny bit of water to make babies.
Sounds logical to me
Thanks. Great teachins
Desert ferns are one wacky plant type.
Desert plants are so incredibly cool.
i dont think this ecosystem is a desert though up at 10000 feet it definetely should get increased precipitation
“Hemmoroid cushion” got me lol
Sharing your nitrogen with the other beings. Nice!
A jewellers loupe over yr camera lens can get ya right close up jsyk❤
I'm lichen this video
I really appreciated the monologue at the end about all species having a place, and not inherently being a shit species just because we are exposed to it as an invasive species.
eeee I love pings!
I'm feeling this one
Love your attitude and zest for life and the planet we all share
Amazing landscape. Great video 👍
Love & appreciate these vids so much Brother. Might have to pick up some more merch. Love my unauthorized forestry hoodie. Go f ur self. Lol. Love you man. Some people we love.
I love that book too ! Odd that you did not see any selaginellas. I would have expected some with those ferns. Limestone being porous allows moisture loving species to grow in drier places. On out limestone hills we can find Parnassia palustris in full sun.
I've never had much luck growing astrolepis. I've tried as many species as I can find here.
the teeth on casuarina needles in the joints, will match in number with the cone segments if you follow a spiral of them, you can use how many it has to tell species apart, on east coast where I am, they have adapted to wet areas, such as brackish swamps and flood areas along rivers, as well as in pure sand at the beach, always a favourite tree to climb as a kid lol
The cones from causurina are carved into the memory of every Australian. Try treading on one with bare feet! They're often found near the beach, tolerating salt well.
Those ferns are certified bangurzzz.
Arid adapted ferns are so weird because the vast majority of ferns I have come across are quite moisture dependent, like the types of plants that at best can go dormant for a little bit and at worst just die unless they have access to peak moisture.
A 3rd Sativa. Amazing all the dif flowers.
Aww pissing an thinking so we all may hear I like doing that myself.
💚
Still gettig excited about trichomes at 33, but it's different now. ❤
😎😎😎😎
Velvet mite, not a common sight at all. Very cool.
Did you do that just to see if anyone was paying attention 18 minutes in to the video???
we don't need to hear that Joey! Mute button is your friend!!! LOL jeez :)
that fern is amazing, nice find.
Is the Argentinian side of Patagonia ever on your radar for places to visit? I'd really love to see your commentary on the plant life there. The chilean videos from a few years ago were really interesting to watch.
I don't know what club/cult you are in, but I want to join!
Amazing work as per usual.
I think it's 3 foot 3 inch to a metre. So you're 10,600ft (?) Should be 3,200 metres ish.
Sea sick Steve sings a great song about his hatred for chigger bugs
you have glabrous opposite leaves
Fuckin' hell, it's _nice_ up there. I want to build a little hut in those parts made out of tastefully stacked, altered carbonate rock, and live in it. For a little while, anyway
Ferns in the desert? Who knew???!
"Plants That Explode"
I'm not trying to plug another channel.
But.
Have you watched any Ze Frank uploads lately?
He dropped one today.
It's absoulty hilarious.
Nothing against this channel, because I love it.
In fact, I'm getting ready to watch this one, right now.
🐸
I want him to do a collaboration with Ze Frank...
The sound effects are excellent. Zefrank is another creator that never disappoints, like Joey
It's fuckin red cause of iron.....lol man, you and me both need to learn more about geology. Fascinating stuff that is.
Will you do a botany video in the uinitah basin?
2 GFY's nice
Wouldn't the plate boundary be between the Cocos and Caribbean Plates?
Great Content.
That's 800 miles to the East.l, beneath the Yucatán . This is still the North American plate.
@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt thx
Se tivesse dinheiro eu ia visitar o México
(•_•)
For reference, supplemental oxygen is required for planes flying over 10k feet!
You frying chicken in there Tony?
Jeez how do you know all these technical geology and botany terms
The way to learn this stuff is a bit at a time. Meeting the rocks, plants, and places in person usually is better than meeting them in a book or video. People's brains are like different kinds of sponges. Some soak up sports trivia, some soak up plant names and IDs.
No cacti up there? Too high?
Did you get rain from Alberto ?
are there more cold tolerant Casuarina species that grow in temperate places?
Any of the Tasmanian species might be pretty cold hardy
lol a kid in a candy store
Looks snakey
What's wrong with paint chips?
Ioio don't knock th paint chip's till u tryem
I like that they have a statue of a rock, and not just some old racist white guy.
Ha, you're gonna dump.
Thanks!
