Man, you are the gift that keeps on giving. You share your knowledge with us morons, and I deeply appreciate that. Keep on keepin’ on. And stay safe and well my friend.
"It's amazing religious, conservative culture wasn't enough to sway them from methamphetamine... ANYWAY..." Your rants are fucking hilarious, I love this channel lmao
Sounds better than a plant I discovered in the high elevation country in Arizona. I took some of the fuzzy little balls on the plant that emitted the smell and let my friend sniff 'em and he said, "Whew! That smells like Martina Navratilova's jock strap!"
Wild Edibles yeah it’s mostly only found in the dryer areas, I use to live on the coast and didn’t see any till I moved up here. Whenever I see it near me it’s usually at higher elevations and in areas with a lot of rock and little soil
Dude, I love seeing your videos in northern California so much. I love seeing IDs and concise descriptions of plants I encounter on my hikes. Youve helped me ID at least a dozen species in your past 3 videos.
Isn't that boring. As a resident of the Auburn Foothills he is showing the better more interesting parts of the state that get no love. Everyone is like duhhh Sonoma, Redwoods, duhh Yosemite, or Tahoe. Go visit Mono Lake or other more INTERESTING spots
@@behindenemylines3149 as a resident of east bay I agree there are a lot more interesting spots out here, but if you've never been then those popular spots are definitely worth the visit.
Great vid my man!!! please show us more of the water if you dont mind, I saw lots of floating plants and maybe some V. americana in the river/muddy area. would love to see more in the wild! edit: just saw the R. aquatilis part, Thank you!
Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't that’s good to hear! It’s nice to know native populations are still growing and water pollution hasn’t killed everything yet :) .Aquatic plants are always a treat to see in the wild for me, lots of potamogeton natans around here. have a good night my friend!
I use to do a lot of trout fishing in southeast Minnesota and since 1995 or so the aquatic plants have gotten out of hand. Many areas of the cold spring fed creeks are over run with it..due to,like you said, fertilizer runoff. N/phos/potassium. The last two cause deadly and annoying alge growth everywhere else (people called it "watercrest" which I'm sure is not correct)
Just when im thinking there is nothing but doom and gloom everywhere I look, your vid pops up! Thanks for the great content ❤️👍🏼🥰 you bring some zen to my life
As a master gardener I have cultivated thousands of flowering plants for my enjoyment without ever giving much thought about the complex adaptation of native species in "impossible" soils. You have opened my eyes Sensei that there is nothing in nature that is "impossible".😌that it takes millions of years of adaptation to eke out a living in the conditions Mother Nature presents itself to life on Earth. The miracle is in how patient plants are to Her lessons and how disrespectful humans are to life on Earth in return. In a split second we destroy what took millions of years to create. Right there; in that one spot; with those soils; light; moisture; heat; cold. The vast loneliness where no human ever tread. Life thrives without us.🌏
4:15 I *just* planted a 1 gallon potted cirsium occidentalis outside my shed to keep people from breaking in or camping in front of it. Super glad you featured it in this video, I've been trying to learn more about it.
Pretty sure he already did that. I saw it in his videos last year. They aren't lilies though! They're in family Sarraceniaceae, with the other American pitcher plants.
@@dynastesgigas6996 I dont see a video of his on Darlingtonia, but im probably just blind. And I know that they arent related to lilies, their common name is cobra lily, because they look like a cobra. I personally dont really see the resemblance.
I just discovered your channel here and am really enjoying it. Hilarious and informative commentary plus a cute dog. Especially the California videos. It's amazing to follow someone who points out all these plants that I have seen my while life but never knew anything about. The Big Basin video in particular was good to see. I'm from just down the mountain from there and I had no idea about the Butano Cypress grove. Thanks for these. It motivates me to get out more.
That cobweb thistle is astounding, so is that Opuntia fragilis. I love that little cactus. One of the few cactus you can grow outdoors year round in Canada :D Nothing like a cactus garden where it shouldn't be.
38:10 Well dude, 4 years later and you pretty much nailed it. Lot of that going on these days. Beauty milkweed though, I absolutely love that plant. Pretty sure I've surveyed some of these areas you're touring, out back of Montague.
I have seen Conium maculatum growing along the Norfork Southern railway through Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia. Railways are interesting mechanisms for seed dispersal. Nice Bill and Ted reference.
I feel spoiled. We got 3 gfys goodbyes But goddammmmn that milkweed was gorge. Reminding me a bit of Red Valerian with the leaves and umbrels, no comparison with those flowers though. Jfc
I got “botany in a day” on my doorstep today! I’ve started reading but i’m not great so i’m only a couple pages in. it’s really cool and i can’t wait to go on a treasure hunt for different families whoop whoop
Gorgeous Day! If you get a chance, visit the Shasta Caves! A wonder! I just love the Shasta area, cougars, deer, so much sky! Great place to watch the stars.
My neighbor killed a red tailed hawk, the hawk had got caught in a tomato cage. He's normally a great guy, old, has a nice garden every year, but I raised my voice with him about the hawk. Only time in 25 years living next to him.
I'm sorry your neighbor is ignorant. My neighbor makes honey and he illegally killed a black bear that was destroying his hives. I almost went to finish what the bear started.
I love this channel! if I had teachers in school like you when I was a kid I might not have dropped out! ( I went to school in the inner city so swearing while teaching would have been normal, lol) Seriously though thank you, for the videos bro!
A lot of green and blue lichens I find up in usptate ny smell like a sweet cologne too, with a very slight bitterness at the end, if that makes sense. I’m glad you pointed out the smell too, I haven’t met anybody that’s noticed that before, always surprises people that I show. Maybe that’s well known, I’ve just never looked into it, only smelled it myself.
What do the diatoms look like in that water. Carry a microscope take some samples. Are microbes in the soil like different marshmallow shapes in cereals?
O. fragilis is quite a rad little cactus! It grows in quite specific places here in western WI, but abundantly in those scattered spots. I've yet to see it in bloom though! Eric Ribbens has published some cool papers on the cactus I would suggest for fun reading!
I highly recommend getting a water filter like the Sawyer micro squeeze. It's small enough to bring with you and then you don't need to haul water if you know you'll be coming across a creek or pond.
Wow it's a new record, four species in this video that I'm familiar with in Missouri, Achillea millifolium, Dipsacus fullonum, Verbascum and Conium maculatum. Of course two are invasive but . . . Last time I saw Opuntia fragilis was in Michigan! I'm actually a fan of wild roses. I've always wanted to see the desert species, Rosa minutifolia and Rosa stellata. Those are fantastic scorpiod cymes! So much love for that Asclepias cordifolia, beautiful plant. :)
Thanks for including the bit about scotch (Spanish, whatever) broom. The island I live on is covered in the shit and we got literally thousands of volunteers pulling it up and trying to fight it back but it comes back so quickly it almost seems pointless. Remember for best results, "pull broom in bloom".
Spent the last 2 days just south of the Seven Devils in Idaho and I couldn’t help but thinking about this channel while I was there. It’s perhaps one of the most ecologically and botanically interesting places I’ve ever been in my 20 years in Idaho. The area has the easternmost occurrence of Pacific Yew on earth and a coastal Washington vibe, which subtends a classic Idaho sagebrush steppe. Holy fuck, Tony. If you’re ever in Idaho, hike the Rapid River Trail south of Riggins, but do so in May or August-September. Otherwise you’re fighting rattlesnakes in a riparian zone that would be at home in the Hoh Rainforest (which, if I can point out, might be the only fucking place on earth where that combo occurs).
I am a moron, but with these videos I can be a very appreciative moron who is learning. Thanks for these videos! I wish I could've shared these with my stepfather, he loved botany even after he got really sick. Definitely sharing this video (channel) with his son and my friends.
Sweet! I've been watching a lot of northern pacific geology. Planning a cascades snowboard trip next spring. Check out the lassics man in trinity/Humboldt! 4:00 hahaha will do =]
About the first plant of the bonus footage, that spartium species was probably brought by spanish settlers cause it has been used for ages for its fibers (at least in Spain) and also probably for cattle feed
I'm up in this neighborhood of norcal. Are there any local flora I can help rehabilitate or increase populations? I've got some land, and want to grow something besides scrub oak on it.
Some folks have been saying that the snow on Mt Shasta is going to disappear for like twenty years now. They also warned us that San Francisco would be under water by now.
They've been saying it for a reason - the glaciers on Shasta have been getting measurably smaller every year. A few years ago the snow was gone by July and the mountain was entirely pink (one of the colors of the kind of rock is composed of - andesite).
Wow I never knew there was stinging nettles in California. They're all over the place here in Ireland, in the old days during British occupation we would make soup out of it. Still stuck till today, tastes great, all you gotta do is steam it to get rid of the nasty glass like spears that inject the irritant and hey presto you got yourself some good greens.
Thank you botanizing Asteraceae Erigeron pumilus! Can the same be growing in my yard in Michigan? Looks the same. Do you ever find ascelpias latifolia out west? Mail me some seeds of that Joey
From what I've read, nettle is supposed to be quite nutritious, very high in protein for a leafy green. It's supposed to be great for farm animals, but it must be dry or cooked before they'll eat it...
The Opuntia must need..what? In the lava rock? Iron?..sulphur? Strange it needs to be near water. The whole northern valley is like some Pleistocene holdover area. Many unusual plants. I liked the water Ranunculus..Not often if ever you see thriving freshwater(submerged) aquatic plants in streams in the bay area.Looked like some kind of Myriophyllum next to it. Try a Go-pro for submerged plants..like the carny Utricularia and the like. Any particular reason Manzanita wood is red? You don't see many other red trunked plants other than say Gumbo Limbo in the Caribbean.
I'm almost 60 and only last year discovered cactus that lives in my home state of Michigan. I have no idea if the cactus is native, I've seen it twice.
@@wildedibles819 I've seen it in a neighbor's yard here near Detroit, and I've seen it at clear lake state park in northern Michigan, both of these could have been planted by humans, I really can't say they were in the wild, both were thriving and spreading.
@@wildedibles819 The cactus here in metro Detroit is growing at the side of a home. The one up north is right in front of the little building where you would register to camp.
There's native cacti here in Canada. In the fall they dry out and lay flat against the earth and let the snowfall insulate them. Once the sunlight hours are right, they soak up all the spring thaw waters and just balloon back up to regular size in like a day. Check out the Southern Ontario Carolinian zone some day. Niagara region up to Hamilton.
The amount of knowledge your able to.... convey in just 43 minutes is astounding. Good video, I watched the whole thing and now have a new appreciation for the usefulness of meth-heads, thanks. The cactus may have hitched a ride on a bit of old continent. There's a geologic theory that parts of the west coast have moved north from Mexico, like what's happening west of the San Andreas fault, but many millions of years ago on a long dormant fault line up in central Washington.

Stinging nettle does actually taste good, makes a nice broth.

makes a mean nettle queso dip
