Beautiful plants aside, spooky atmosphere aside, humor and philosophy aside... That is the weirdest song replacement due to a copyright strike I've ever seen on UA-cam and I had to take a moment to cackle at the absurdity! Oh man, keep doing what you do cause this is great, all of it!
If you’re gonna keep playing in the dark, you should pick up a UV flashlight, and see what fluoresces. A fluorescing inflorescence would be a helluva thing.
Joey you just reminded me of going into the foothills above Senora, CA with a fellow I met at work 50 years ago. We were looking for orchids and this was among them. Bill was near 70 at the time who was raised in Martinez. He recalled when he was young a fellow with a beard who hung out with his grandfather. He was John Muir.
I feel blessed, thankful for your sharing. I've never heard of parasitical no-energy producing non-photosynthetic orchids before. The biotope seems incredibly interesting, with the fungi and plant intertwinement, which kind of drearily sends me spiraling into magic of evolutionary origin histories of plants and fungi, as if the Cephalanthera austiniae would be some weird kind of abstract exponent and portal to those processes, just on the basis of its ephemeral aesthetics. Anyway. I'll probably never get to see such a biotope, nor plant, in my lifetime, as I'm on another side of the world where there are no forests and as this biotope is scarce and disappearing anyway, so I probably shouldn't contribute to transportation pollution just to see it die off. So again, thank you so much. This was an experience.
Thank you for a botany based summer-time spooktacular! It's the cinematographic rage that's sweepin the nation. A tweeker masterpiece tour de force. And the mid-show musical score? Sublime.

Got nothing of that in Scandinavia, but you sure make botany interesting, and as important, entertaining. They may not be fungi (nor of our psychedelic variant, which is better than yours,,, maybe), but the interactions of orchids on dead matter is just as fascinating. Gotta give kudos for your delivery, as well as roaming the bush like some tweaker who didn't notice its past twilight (very common here since the sun doesn't set this time of the year,, ie: twilight is night)
I have a big ol' Bigleaf Maple right outside the door- easy two foot diameter trunk and the canopy is at least 80' wide. It overhangs the second-story deck and provides awesome green shade in the summer.
I wish I would have commented on your videos months ago, because I live in Siskiyou County and would have loved to go out for a walk with you on your recent visit. We've been keeping track of the Phantom Orchids, Washington Lillies and Leopard Lillies on our daily walks around Lake Siskiyou in Mt Shasta, There's a trail in McCloud that you'd love. If you find yourself in our part of Siskiyou Co, give me a shout if you'd like to go for a walk with a couple of locals who'd like to share your knowledge of our native plants.
reminds me of spotting Monotropa uniflora . . . spotted them one day while being the only one who ate lunch outside at an office park in Mass. . . . strange to see a plant without chlorophyll. [ p.s. - keep up the good work even if it don't pay ]
Funny thing about mango, I can play in a mango tree all day and be fine, but don't like fresh mango. My older brother loves fresh mango but gets the itch terribly. So, I'd peel and wash mangos for him.
If any of you guys are in Illinois, go to the Leroy oaks forest preserve. It has some great spots, and it’s very diverse plant wise. Great fishing place too.
In Michigan we have Monotropa Uniflora otherwise known as 'Indian Pipes' or 'Ghost plants'. Never knew or bothered to think much about what they were 'til now. Haven't seen any in years. Something for my bucket list to look for along with Dutchman's Britches and Lady Slippers.
Honestly the ads actually add to the effect! I live for these "do you approve of trump " ads, but then I get goofy urban garden ads, or fiskars... I'm particularly fond of the movie ads tho. I just turn them down, but I like to imagine how Tony would react if he were watching it with me.
You spot any hanging woven twigs? Love them found footage movies. Nice job finding Orchids. I think all I've ever spotted were the Epipactis. We do have some big Maples in the Hayward ravines...water flowing by them most of the year..at least half. Big trunks. Cows have done in the replacements in Garrin Park. Its either the old monarchs or the seedlings...nothing in between.
For the first time in 11 years the Big Leaf Maples haven't gotten white leaf mold ,they're looking really good. The mold was caused from the rainy period shifting into May when the leaves are young.
Hello there, enjoyed it very much the orchid with no chlorophyl. Have you ever heard of "The Lost Maples"? yes, they are in central Texas. It's just a maple forest that is lost.... look it up.... it's for real. No kidding.
I still remember the first time I saw one (after a decade and a half of wanting to). It was in a city park in Portland, OR (mind you, a very large park with old-growth trees in places). I was zoning out at the end of a long day identifying plants, and a minute after I saw it and walked past I said “Wait! Did I just say ‘phantom orchid’ a minute ago?” and backtracked. I’ve seen them several times since, including once in a city park in Seattle.
I live in the PNW and our bigleaf maple trees get huge! I've heard you can tap them for their sap in the early spring and while the sap has a lower sugar content than east coast sugar maple, I've heard it's delicious.
holy shit tony you really been commin up. i didn't know phantom orchids were out here. i always watch your vids and even stopped killin them blue bellied bastards cause of ya
I only just learned that moths pollinate loads of plants at night. I was drunk so I dunno where I read that tho... edit: I just googled it and it's common knowledge. Guess I should read more and drink less :(
@@gordslater thanks, I know lots of desert plants get pollinated that way (sphinx mothseven look a little like hummingbirds in flight) but this seemed kind of fragile and the wrong shape for moth pollination.
Fascinating orchid! What was the species of Hexastylis in the first minute of the video? bottom right to center of screen. Edit. Sorry. Question answered in later part of video. Asarum hartwegii, looks alot like Hexastylis in the east.
Please make a video on monotropa uniflora, I follow a few pages on facebook and I keep seeing all these yams making potions out of it. There's no good videos about it yet.
Hey I was wondering if you knew about the picture this app, the plant identification app, I was skeptical of it at first because I know how wide spread and complicated botany can be, but I tried it and it seems to work. I’m not giving it too much credit I’ve seen it make mistakes, but it seems to be pretty good at identifying the family and the genus, which is interesting enough for me right now, I’m still relatively new to this, I was just wondering if you have an opinion on it.
For people just starting to learn it's worth it, so long as you're paying attention to flower morphology and morphological patterns among plant families. Check out the flower morphology video I did a few months back. Plenty of links and book recommendations in there. Next to going to a botanic garden that has everything labeled properly, going out into the world to observe the shit firsthand, even if using a plant ID app, is the best way to learn - as long as you're being observant and asking questions.
I used that a few times and then they wanted money...I started using one called Plant Net, works about the same. Mixed results, that I don't always trust, but its better than nothing if you don't know what you're looking at.
@@nachoaz6294 I don't recommend anything else besides inaturalist. If you upload a photo and click the "view suggestions" tab at the top it has AI that uses flower and leaf morphology as well as what has been observed nearby to decipher what you might be lookig at. In areas where there are lots of people using the app, like most populated areas in North America and Europe, it is extremely helpful. In the Atacama desert or New Caledonia for instance, though, it is useless. But I imagine all plant ID apps would be in those places, too.
@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt O hell yeah. Just downloaded this and looks good. I've got one that I could never identify on the others or find anywhere else in research. I've only seen it in one place and maybe just not catching it at the best time of the year to get a good ID. I'll check it out on here.

Must be nice having rich soils build up and NOT having it periodically get removed by glaciation. SMH you guys have it so easy
Rich souls due to the whole state burning down yearly. But I hear you, I’m in Texas, all clay and or limestone..
In the bush, in the dark!! What could be better?? Thanks for bringing these things to light for us.
