Thanks, GFY.
These Chile videos have quickly become my favorite series of videos from you.
i wish i could smell the air in those forests in the rain
Smell him takin a piss
I have... You dont forget that smell.
Coniferous forests in the rain is probably my favorite smell on the planet
I'm Australian and it's so cool seeing the biogeographic links between the flora here and in South America. We've got _Nothofagus,_ _Araucaria,_ _Prumnopitys,_ and Callitroideae as well!
Oh hell yeah I caught a new one! I've been loving the vids from Chile.
Same here man, these Chilean videos are the shit!
Hell yeah
Chile Is the best country in Chile ✨
@@calvarezfabio2415 ah, yes, it appears the floor here is made of ground.
These videos are making me want to see the temperate rainforests of Chile.
Me too
I love rain forests
My one is pretty great, but I would like to experience something new
My new favorite swearing roaming gardner, love to see new uploads from ya sir. :)
I was in Parque Nacional Conguillo in 1982. First time I'd ever seen a Gunera or an Araucaria, or an Alerce. Amazing experience. I know a lot more botany now. I've been saying I have to get back there before I die. You're reminding me how much I want to do this. Any time now. I need to find a good botanist to hang out with. The Nothofagus dombeyi was really the surprise. Amazing tree. Amazing forest. But the Araucaria. Since then I've come to understand Gondwanaland a lot better. I've gotten to explore forests in Australia and New Zealand. The close kinship and evidence on continental drift is in your face and amazing. I saw a Nothofagus dombeyi in Kew Gardens, London about 5 years ago, it felt like seeing a long lost friend ... overwhelming.
The geology,plants,TREEs, & the Douglas Fir invasive tree, im overwhelmed 😅. Thanks for the show!
That's a pretty forest.
Beautiful landscape
What a wild landscape! All the fog and rocky volcanic base makes for some crazy looking plants!
I really love seeing the other gondwanan ecosystems and species and how familiar they seem compared to what is here in Aotearoa New Zealand, but also how different they are too. 😍
Similar invasives too with foxglove and cursed pinus.
It can be weird watching the New Caledonia and Tasmania videos and seeing shit that is as far away in the world as it possibly could be that is strikingly similar.
We took arocaria seeds and started them at my friends fathers house in central Chile...❤❤❤
Gymnosperms always so fascinating!
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽
I recently told a friend that I'm going to see the Bristlecone pines soon because there's something magnificent and humbling about being in the presence of organisms that have lived for so many human lifetimes 🌲🥹
Natives or non-natives, I’m in love with that landscape!
These have become one of my favorite botanical videos recently
Only place where sticky pea isn't associated with severe personal discomfort 🤯
Beautiful stuff Joey, my thanks 👍
Sounds like someone needs to clean up some gahddamn exotics down there 👀
Banger alert! If you made a vidya about the botanical biogeography of Gondwana, I would watch the hell out of it! GFYB!
Really loving coming here! i'm from northern Chile so every time i travel south i feel like stepping back in time. And i too yell Asshole and another swears to the forestal plantations (pines and eucalipt ones) on the road 🤣. this is my new favorite channel
Gaultheria are literally mesmerizing. Some of the former Pernettya have psychoactive berries, a few of which can supposedly cause permanent psychosis
That orchid is exquisite.
We have Gondwanan plants here in SE Queensland. I find it fascinating how plants in different genera occupy similar niches between Chile and Oz. Best botany channel on youtube btw! Keep up the great work, and kill more lawns!
Araucaria are great plants. As kids, we called them "Penis Pines" due to the shape they get when mature.
Quite the learned botanist you are. Great stuff man.
Oh, the podocarps and Nothofagus! And this has been one of your most atmospheric videos yet, with the swirling fog and the dripping rain. Glorious.
Coihues y araucarias 😍💚
Those cones, the mist, the volcanic soil, and a wise botanist to guide the way. I couldn’t ask for a better way to spend this blizzardy afternoon in MT.
"the torrent, the LANDSLIDE of bull shit".... I have never heard it described so well. 😂
Ayyy, my homeland!
Mmmm nothofagus. Thanks guy
As someone who lives in the PNW, it's so hard to imagine a Doug fir as an invasive
I love southern hemisphere conifers!!
What a fascinating place!
I love the chusquea understory!
oh if you're in Conguillío you should be close to the Galletué Lake / Quinquén Community area, which shows up in the "Los Tres Gigantes del Bosque Chileno", a documentary from the early 90s that covers jubaea chilensis (palma chilena), araucaria araucana (araucaria/pewén), and fitzroya cupressoides (alerce), along with their human history. it's up on YT, the araucaria section starts at around 20 min.
unless that's where you were just at, idk
13:39 that rippling effect is awesome.
oh man, we have a lot of these temperate gondwanan genera on the east coast of Australia. So cool to see how similar they look. I have to go to Chile. Even the galium and proteaceae species look so similar. Acaena too
great work going down!!
yea!
Finally a torreya mention! Would kill to go see you visit pollock pines in CA where most of the torreya californica are!
I will not stand for ericaceae slander wtf
I found his Doug fir comments hurtful too. I think we should report him to ICE.
'The truth is my personal life and experiences are of no value. I am simply a White man seeking to protect and serve my community, my plants, my culture, and my species.'
This is satire by the way
You are the lorax
@@garyjenson1326
Not. funny.
Love me some blueberries!!
Hey dude.
Just wanted to say, you make my life better for the sanity you inject into it. Please keep being a giant nerd that makes this world a better place. If only through the osmosis of appreciation of the natural world. I for one, try to spread that message to those who are receptive, and do what little I can. You spread that shit to me. Keep it up... this is your fault.
The best you are Brother
I was wondering what elevation you are. The wikipedia article about the park only says that the peak of the Llaima volcano is 9,500 feet.
You show the beauty in ugly plants. Tks! I no longer see them as ugly. They are amazing and interesting.
One request: include the common names, also.
❤ ya from central Texas
11:39 I couldn't help but think: "Old man yells at pines"
Incredible!
Until you got up close to one I didn’t realize that your talking about the monkey puzzle tree. I was like that looks familiar. I know common names are frowned upon as they can get confusing
I keep skipping back to 28:40. Abso-fucking-beautiful
Send me some of those Nothofagus dombeyi seeds and some of those Fitzroya cupressoides, my Chilean Seed vendor is AWOL. In this case Botany would pay, I would! Thank you for sharing the volcanic landscape!
P.S. Open to trade
one of the biggest Araucaria in Washington was " WAS" in Bremerton Washington there are still quite a few around Bremerton i know 2-3 yards that have 2 not sure if the are male female or not but there are about 5 yards that have one when i lived in Bremerton i lived acrost the street form a huge one that got cut down shortly after i moved away its was a sad day not seeing that right before you go acrost the Warren avenue bridge.
Pretty cool
Have you never been to Crescentcity? We have the most dank rainforest in America.
3:58 cool sawtooth waxy leaves!
All the araucarias mostly bidwillii in the austin area got fried pretty good n crispy thanks to 2021 unless somebody knows otherwise
I dont remember what temperature it got down to over there
Have they tried araucarias at the high elevations on the east coast? Talking lue ridge, fraser fir elevation. Im spitballing
Just thank-you mr Santoro, one day the groves of araucaria here too will have prumnopitys & saxegothea underneath with gleichenia, a dream
Video massacred by UA-cam though with too many damn adverts
On a technicality, there _are_ pines native to the southern hemisphere, Pinus merkusii in Indonesia. Though its equatorial, so doesn't really count for much (and certainly a far cry from Chile, New Zealand, New Caledonia and all those other areas where pine plantations are a scourge). Still interesting to think that pines grow alongside Agathis, which also exist in those same Indonesian montane equatorial cloud forests.
Thank you Tony, I need the distraction.
'Southern beech, makes me feel fiiiiine'
YES!!
My favorite gymno is Gnetum
Riveting! every second. thanks for all the questions....a stunning place!
I really enjoyed this video 👏👏well done, your work is always appreciated by me.
Is the species of bamboo in this video the same as that which occurs at the highest elevations in southern Brasil, such as the highest elevations of the Serra dos Organos no estado de Rio de Janeiro
My grass is bamboo!
Is that lichen genus Usnea?
Any Tillandsia usneoides? (Bromeliaceae)
Usnea barbata
8:03 is some morbid humor to me as a PNW resident. Foxglove spawns by the dozens in any patch of disturbed soil here and there it is sprouting sideways off of a random cliff in Chile... Pretty flower, but it doesn't belong.
food for the soul...
the most sincere ep to date. it's crazy out here but there is so much worth saving!
Do you have any araucaria wood from which I could make you a tuned minor pentatonic flute? 2x2x24.
Another great one, Professor.
Non-native invasive plants.
I blame Columbus.
And when the tectonic plates separated.
Prayers for the dangling pepals ☮️🌍🌎🌏💟
IIRC, the fleshy part of Prumnopitys isn't actually a fleshy scale like most (all other?) podocarps, but rather a sarcotesta. Don't remember where I read this though (it was quite a while ago, some scientific paper about podocarp classification I think?) so you'll definitely have to fact check me on this.
I was so busy laughing at the wacky goings-on in the US I'm late to my fav f'n botanist!😊
I found a podocarpus near Carlsbad, really confused me for a minute
Nice
these species would be great for Bonsai, I wonder if any local Chilenos have spent time using them for it
"Nothing but the rain".😉
Such an wonderful forest. And the presentation is so real. So many nature videos are too nice, they are too polite, and somewhat boring. Where else can you see one where the cameraman is pissing while filming, saying fuck, and talking about feeling like being on acid? Extra good.
Damn that Douglas sticks out like a sore thumb
Who got the haplopapus ???
So wait.. notafagus was with betch of loities and then gottaglock came along?? This story bro... all I'm seeing is plants and hearing a whole damn story lol
Me dumb. Why does Wikipedia's "Climbing hydrangea" page seem to separate Hydrangea serratifolia from the other listed climbing hydrangeas? It lists Decumaria barbara, Hydrangea anomala, Hydrangea hydrangeoides, Hydrangea petiolaris, and Pilostegia vibrunoides under it, and then has Hydrangea serratifolia separated out in the "See also" section. Is this just some clerical oddity, or is there some distinct botanical difference between serratifolia and the others?
12:43 I think a "truck orchid" is the only way I would put nuts on my truck, and now I want it...
I'm not watching anything on UA-cam but you for the next 4 years minimum. I'm a huge plant nerd! Baby, where has this channel been my whole life??? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thought you were a shill for OnlyFans for a moment. OnlyPlants?😅
Pinus radiata and their relatives are often chosen for mass plantings cause they are fast growing short lived and have a generalist adaptation making them relatively cheap to cultivate
Hoping that was a cliffhanger and not a clifffaller, but did kinda sound like falling rocks right at the end there… 🍻
It’s got all that yellow insulation
Tony goto Myanmar
Be nice to doug! He didn't chose to be planted there!
A rubiacea? a madder? What's a madder?
"can pick up some good spiritual medicine here. . .for when you gotta go back to the death cult"
🎯
I like how you have the shitty invasive plants labeled. Thank you
Love that these videos are hosted by the most Chicago man in the world 😉
Charles Darwin collected Chloraea magellanica when the Beagle was in southern Chile. The genus consists of >50 species in temperate South America that come in various colors. Species with green and orange in stripes are often called "mountain tulips" (tulipan del monte) by some Chileans. It looks like older research insisting the flowers have nectar glands was incorrect and the flowers fool native bees. There is a Gondwanan connection here as molecular genetic studies link Chloraea to the greenhood orchids (Pterostylis) of Australia but they are also allied to Goodyera and lady's tress (Spiranthes) orchids associated more with the Northern Hemisphere.
😂 taking a leak while marveling at Gondwana relics - you live life, sir
weird dead internet parasocial pp asmr for the loneliest generation of people who have ever existed lmfao
It's fake
28:40 🙇♂
I’m nothofagus.
dude I love this guy so much, does anyone know of any channels similar to him
