  • How much does the abundance of boiling springs atop one of Earth's most active regions of "hotspot" (as opposed to subduction zone) volcanism dictate what grows on the surrounding soils? Judge for yourself in this episode of Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't, where we take a close up look at some of the plant species found growing within the boundaries of Yellowstone National Park.
    Thanks to Matt Berger for assistance in the production of this video.
    Featuring #Abronia ammophila, Yellowstone Sand Verbena, a ln extremely rare plant known only from this National Park.
    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.

    • @billjamal4764
      @billjamal4764 3 роки тому +8

      Until a plant gets itself into walmart or home depot, the majority won't plant them. Unfortunately. Its sad to see the lawns around here all with the exact same plants, non native. Sure they're pretty, but redundant in my opinion.

    • @dynastesgigas6996
      @dynastesgigas6996 3 роки тому +14

      As a whole, the genus Calochortus is known for being difficult in cultivation. I live in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, and C. tolmiei is common in the right habitat and relatively easy to grow, but requires acid soil that drains well and stays dry in the summer. The bulk of diversity in the genus occurs across CA, and many are unsuitable for suburban gardens because they are endemic to specific soil types, many of those are endangered by land conversion and bulb collecting, and at least one is extinct. What region do you live in? If you can match a regionally-common Calochortus species to a client with the right conditions, it might work, but (in this case) there are good reasons that only a few dedicated people work with the genus.

      @@billjamal4764, that is true for people who look for plants in those places, but if you search for native plant nurseries in your area, you could be surprised. A lot of the really good nurseries are run by older folks who may not be internet-savvy enough to run a website. For example, I know a native plant nursery south of Portland, OR that does not maintain a website but grows (from seed!) and sells rare/uncommon natives, with an especially good selection for xeriscapes and rock gardens. Try searching for native plant nurseries in your area; you might find something you never knew existed.

    Hey Joey! Love the content. The bulbous structure at the apical tip of the bladderwort is called a turion. It is an asexual propagule formed at the meristems of many aquatic macrophytes.

    • @herbbirdsfoot
      @herbbirdsfoot 3 роки тому +6

      The turion! And the functional equivalent in some other carnivorous plants (like pinguicula) is the “hibernaculum”. Different name but just another asexual perennial solution to keep the genes from drying up and croaking when the well runs dry.

    Tony/Joey, I’m more and more convinced that you should illustrate and publish a book on, well, you could just do flowers. Your tremendous amount of knowledge and insight into botany is fascinating. Yes, you are really fun to listen to. “Penstamens” and “volicker” here. Do I really have to look them up on someone else’s site? It should be on your book or published on the your website. It would help me remember locations, environments, terms and structures that you gasp at.
    P.S. Your conversation in the car and diner in Chicago was AMAZING. I could definitely see it as a real thing you’d be involved in. Thank you

    at thickened deal on the bladderwort is the beginning of a "turion", the plant's wintering form. . Turion is a dense form with EXTREMELY short internodes. They look like balls of moss, and they float and drift in the water.
    Before I knew this, I collected some of these mystery moss-balls and dropped them into a tropical fish aquarium for shits and giggles. The nodes almost immediatly lengthened, and I had an aquarium full of Badderwort.
