  • Before getting thrown out of a University Conservatory, we manage to get some nice moneyshotz of some extremely rare and unique plants from around the world, including the tree cucumber Dendrosicyos socotranus from the island of Socotra, and Osa pulchra - a moth pollinated member of the coffee family that's critically extinct in the wild. We also see a half-erect corpse flower a week or two before climaxing.
    Your contributions support this content. It sounds clichéd, but it's true. Whether it's travel expenses, vehicle repair, or medical costs for urushiol poisoning (or rockfalls, beestings, hand slices, toxic sap, etc), your financial support allows this content to continue so the beauty of Earth's flora can be made accessible to the rest of us in the degenerate public. At a time when so much is disappearing beneath the human footprint, CPBBD is willing to do whatever it takes to document these plant species and the ecological communities they are a part of before they're gone for good.

    Small correction :
    E. baioensis is actually from Kenya. First discovered on the summit of mt. Baio then found again in the 90's on the ridge leading up to the summit overlooking a 1km drop. It is another one of those incredibly localised in habitat, ubiquitous in cultivation oddities.
    There are two clones Bally 16965 and Lavranos 12532. I dunno which one I've got but I want the other one so I can make em bang.

    Correction on your bee pheromone talk... The alarm/stress pheromone is produced by the Koschevnikov gland, which is at the base of the stinger. That pheromone smells like bananas. The Nasonov gland is between the last few sections of the abdomen on top, and produces a pheromone that attracts other honeybees. It smells very similar to lemongrass. It's used to direct a swarm or guide a queen back from mating. Love your videos!

    Very cool that you had free reign to film in this greenhouse. I’ve heard Ernesto S. talk about many of these plants. It was fun to hear your take on some of them. I had a chance to purchase a young Dendrosicyos socotranus a few years ago. I was attracted to it because it’s endemic to Socotra and that’s a big plus for a plant enthusiast like me. The grower wanted $75. Unfortunately at the time, I didn’t know much about the species or whether I could keep it alive, , so I decided to pass on it. I’ve since regretted that decision. It was a healthy, seed grown plant.

    Amorphophallus Konjac stinks, but not quite like a dead carcass.
    Here in North Florida, I love to treat unknowing friends in the spring to my Magnolia Ashei flowers (endangered) , followed by Konjac, which blooms about the same time. Gullibly, they all sniff, ever deeper come the Konjac. Expecting a similar treat, they are soon repulsed, as once willing noses betray smiling faces, compelled to contort in disgust. What a practical joke it is-botanically so.

So I put your wonderful video and go to Wikipedia to find out exactly what and where Socotra is. It's a short article, so I check out the geography and nature sections as well as the bibliography and references. About an hour later, I know more about Socotra than anyone else for hundreds of miles around. It's a beautiful and interesting island. Now I have to figure out which body parts I'd have to sell to get to Socotra. See what you done? Thanks for a brilliant episode and the travel inspiration.

    What a unique channel.
    Never heard colourful language in a gardening type video.
    Thank you for showing me that even city boys can know stuff about plants.
    Loved it. Subbed.

    Thank you for all the content brother, I love all your videos. I've been into botany and horticulture over the last 6-7 years and greatly appreciate all of your knowledge. Are there any books you recommend on the subject to further my understanding of plants and soil?

      Gnetales in general are just the wildest damn things. Evolution really did just try and make angiosperms 2.0 and ended up with some weird ass desert survivors and tropical lianas.
