I grow the white rosinweed and plant it all around my part of Texas... usually, next to fence posts on side of road, where the plant killing machines won’t get at them. They are beautiful
@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt you are the only sumbitch that can make me sit through an hour long lesson on botany I'm no expert but I'm glad someone is and I will for sure spread you to the gardeners I know you will be an invasive species lol Edit: and yeah I had to edit cause I enjoy your videos while drunk lol and I'm bad at typing while drinking fuck the strait edge
Hell yeah you are finally doing my home town area of the DFW Metroplex! Feels enlightening to finally be told what all the native prairie plants are! Hope you return during the spring, the whole area explodes with colors. I am about to turn 37 next month, but when I was in 5th grade in 1995 or so, we had a thing at my school called The Texas Prairie Project. We restored 2 different sites close to my house with only native flora by hand spreading seeds. We got recognition from Nick News and my whole 5th grade at the school got to actually be on the show on Nickelodeon for a news story. I have been TRYING so long to find the video footage of it, but I can not. I believe it was filmed in late 95 through early 96. It was really great to know I personally had a hand in restoring the native prairie plants in my immediate back yard.
Hey CPBBD, you've really reignited my passion for botany and ecology. Been learning a lot and it's really getting me through the misery of the last few months. Appreciate it.
not sure if anyone else here has said this, but the cacti up in north texas all look sad because we overcame a drought about 5 years ago. there was a terrible drought here for about 15 years, and for the past 5 years we've gotten a lot more rain. now all the cacti are rotting on the bottom
I've seen TX ranchers w flamethrowers burning thorns off cacti so their cattle could eat them in a drought. Meanwhile here in Florida, it's heads of cattle per acre, not acres per head. So our genius excuse for a culture converts the world's best grassfed paradise into housing tracts with sterile evaporative lagoons and no permeable surfaces.. a recipe for desertification, destroyed biodiversity and food shortage where forestry and grazing is the low impact, water retaining solution to no natural topsoil.
God i love your videos. I was sitting down to enjoy a bowl of soup and figured i'd rewatch another of your videos...lo and behold you had just uploaded one! YES!!!
why are you bossing him around who died and made you boss? go diaper your face like a good little slave you master demands it. smfh... i bet your life is as flawed as everyone else is exorcise your unalienable rights then you can be an original instead of a carbon copyof a slave. diversity is the spice of life. There is no such thing as "public quarantine" it's an oxymoron.
Dreamylyn Moore you're obviously part of the problem. Masks and social distance helps slow the spread. Even republican governors are now requiring masks because their hospitals ICU are almost full. When your so called rights kill people then they are null and void
@@lilcrumb6420 so where are all the masked being disposed of? did you know that in a hospital in ICU a patient that is in quarantine one visiting must wash hands wear protective gown and enter and exit thru a process of removing gowns placing them in BIO-HAZARD bags wash hands and this is done to enter and to exit a quarantine room at a hospital. so why aren't people putting their used masked in bio hazard bags and cleaned or disposed of properly. governors and mayor are not doctors of medical staff. And i've had 2 children during my life time end up in a hospital quarantine. one was 2 or so weeks old, the other was about 3 years old. I do know what I'm talking about. BIO HAZARD is also where Hospitals put sharps/used needles and other human wastes. so who's collecting all these masks and making sure the virus doesn't contaminate further by waste products used by those of you masking up? where are you disposing of your BIO HAZARD Waste so your not spreading this deadly virus? just asking.
Dude!!! You're freaking up here!?!? Dude!?! Man if you need some place to roost I got an extra room, which comes with a full fridge, freezer, and full access to all of household amenities. Collin County one hour Northeast of Dallas. My spouse might be a bit shocked but he'll be all right with it... agree with Nautilus 211. Dude the spring is amazing around here. All the way through till the end of fall it's pretty amazing. But a lot of the plants that I have learned about from you I find around the Lakes in Spring to midsummer. PS I'm an LA transplant. And I ain't talkin bout Louisiana😉
You would have had a blast at my place just south of the video location. It's on top of a limestone mesa overlooking the confluence of the Nolan and Brazos rivers. Fair amount of diversity both in flora and fossils. Good tutorial for the area plants, thanks. I was still up at my cabin in the Arapaho National Forest when you came through Ft. Worth. Spent the summer up there working from home due to c-19, and did a lot of plant identification learning. Sub alpine at 10,000 feet. Be a great place to stay and do some future videos next spring and/or summer if you feel inclined.
Ahh my old stomping grounds! I used to go to that park near River Oaks TX. I used to love riding bike on the trinity trails in the area its a real oasis in a huge metroplex of development. Appreciate the attention to all the composites too
That’s so cool to learn. I live in the area in the video and I would never imagine a similar type of ecosystem in Canada (because I haven’t had the pleasure of visiting yet). Thanks for sharing
35:48 blue grama (B. gracilis) makes a decent turf/lawn (my front lawn is B. curtipendula, not so turfy but the seed was cheap) that can get by with water once a week or less. Appreciate the attn to some of those grasses!
Thank you for talking about the limestone species in North Texas! I live here and keep limestone endemic begonias indoors. It is easy to forget that my local environment has the right pH for limestone species!!
Love to watch your videos. You have so much knowledge. I'm in Southern Oklahoma so we have a similar vegetation to what you showed today. I do find your language hard to listen to and can't watch your videos with the kids in the room.
Love your videos man, they've gotten me to go out during quarantine and identify local plants around LA and the 'Nard. So I've been spending a lot of time in da bushes lookin like a fool, but it's a helluva lot of fun.
Cool, even though I'm a Bay Area local I'm sharing this with my DFW native plant groups since I frequent Dallas. The group will probably appreciate this, thanks for the anatomy.
I appreciate your videos, thank you for sharing your walks and ID's enjoy looking at a parking lot different. thanks for being you, you education, words and explanations w demo help me learn plants. your humor and cussing keep me entertained.
So many people are in a hurry to cut plants without knowing who they are. Most, don't know that the chenopodium ambrosioides they throw away is edible and more nutritious than spinaches. Those shitty plants made our life possible, thanks for showing them respect. Your show is a thing we need now and forever.
Many thanks once again for the “ride-along “. You introduced me to some very beautiful and interesting species, some of which I hope to introduce to my wildlife/wildflower preserve (aka my back yard). You and Jack (and Louie) stay healthy out there, we’ve come to need our botany fix on a regular basis.
multiple soil types in the DFW are... Blackland Prairie: dark black to light grey clays, Eastern Cross Timbers: sandy loam soil, Grand Prairie: clays: limestones, and some silty loams...
I just drunkenly subbed to this channel a little while ago based on a drunken recommendation and low and behold a few short weeks later you’re in my backyard. What a small world.
There's a place I'd have recommended in east DFW, but it has since been infected with tract housing and open-air malls. (Who would build an open-air mall in DFW?) I long since escaped to the Bay Area, where at least the Diablos and the Santa Cruz Mtns discourage people from building tract housing literally everywhere.
Aye yo I live about an hour north of FW and thats just how the temperature is here. We had about a week of it being below 50 f but now its back up to around the mid 70s
It's November here in Tucson and it's was 95F today. ThE cLiMaTe iS FiNe! By the way I've got my welwitschia miribalis outside here for most of the year. It does great. Depends on heat but I water every other day ish or so
I hope you visit Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge (nevada) - limestone paradise. It is an amazing and beautiful place with many different habitats- one of me most beautiful places i have visited
Long time view, first time commenting. Are you going to find yourself in North East Texas near Commerce? My girlfriend and I just got a good chunk of land and I think you'll love the vision we have for it: Sustainable native agro-forestry with non-native-non-invasive perennial edibles. There are quite a few species here I'd love to hear your experience of and hear your critique of our Magnum Opus! Let me know if it's ok to email you more info. In any case, fuckin' love your work. I'll go fu*k myself now, lmao
I’m curious as to exactly where you were here. I grew up 13 miles south of downtown Dallas and spent many hrs hiking the trails of Cedar Hill and Duncanville.
Finally got a copy of Botany in a Day. I have already learned a shit ton I never knew. I find myself walking now murmuring families in Latin and taking pictures of local flowers for labeling on the phone as a quick reference until memorized. Thanks for the book recommendations and the motivation to get off my lazy ass.
Theres a really good park in cedar hill. We also had a piece of Blackland Prarie, the only slice left in Arlington TX in the native plant society of tx, a tiny park near the airfield off Collins Street in Arlington by the private airfield***
I love that you love the ragweed! I have read that Ambrosia artemisiifolia is a medicinal powerhouse and has soil remediation capabilities, particularly around heavy metals. Whenever I see the plant, Ambrosia artemisiifolia (I believe) grows all over in my southern Vermont area, I snip the blooms because I want to give the goldenrod a break. 😁
Isn’t taking seeds of Texas to California an ecological no no? People in IL who do restoration all use “local genotype” and diversity as excuses for sharing or not sharing native seeds. Why not just toss local seeds around to spots where they just removed those invasives. Thanks Ray. I enjoyed seeing Texas prairie plants.
Fuck yeah! I've been waiting for this one since I saw your IG stories. Finally getting a really good rundown of what grows best near me and what to spread around more. Thanks Tony!
"tacky tract houses where it was planted" I'll never understand why gardeners and landscape archs everywhere seem to spray their shorts for anything that isn't native
@@davidgough3512 true, I've really enjoyed using native plants and fungi more over the past few years. Great way to help propagate the less common ones as well as long as you toss the seeds or spores and don't over harvest
@@theflyingcrud Nice to hear that there are people engaging with the plants and fungi. What was once a universal human practice has become a relative rarity. Yet our usual forms of entertainment and livelihood seem drastically oversimplified compared to the humbling intricacies and wonders of nature. Keep up the foraging and seeding, maybe normalize it for others. I like to show kids, they may call it weird but secretly they can't help but respect it.. it engenders confidence and besides they ought to at least understand some species sting and some are dangerous.
So interesting that the rosin weed and others are dormant when you shot this, even though it was 90 degrees and winter wasn't even close (if ft worth even gets winter idk)... there must be other seasonal factors besides cold that put the plant to sleep, maybe drought? I guess I always assumed perennial plants that live in the south just stay alive year round because they have no reason to go into dormancy to survive a winter!
Really love the shit that'll come up in abandoned lots and such, plants with those adaptations give a little hint as to how the ecology of post-sapien cityscapes may evolve. Tough, weedy things that readily self seed and compete like hell in harsh nutrient poor urban areas

Theres a really good park in cedar hill. We also had a piece of Blackland Prarie, the only slice left in Arlington TX in the native plant society of tx, a tiny park near the airfield off Collins Street in Arlington by the private airfield***
you, my goombah friend, are the freakin' best at this... ....thank you for your efforts....consider the Salamanca Re-entrant as a future video.
I like the new species breakdown text. David Attenborough ain't got s*** on you
I feel like a in depth dive into the mint family would be really informative
He brings everything alive.
Learning so much from this guy.
I love that you love the ragweed! I have read that Ambrosia artemisiifolia is a medicinal powerhouse and has soil remediation capabilities, particularly around heavy metals. Whenever I see the plant, Ambrosia artemisiifolia (I believe) grows all over in my southern Vermont area, I snip the blooms because I want to give the goldenrod a break. 😁
You had to cut the video short? I'd say---49 minutes is not NEARLY enough! Nice
My beautiful state. Awesome content sir thank you.
Isn’t taking seeds of Texas to California an ecological no no? People in IL who do restoration all use “local genotype” and diversity as excuses for sharing or not sharing native seeds. Why not just toss local seeds around to spots where they just removed those invasives.
Thanks Ray. I enjoyed seeing Texas prairie plants.
50 minutes of prairie wowee
The iva annua reminds of Greek mountain tea (sideritis) at least in the flower and seed shape. However that's under Lamiaceae
Google Auto CC: "Okay uh welcome to another episode of crime page but bonnie doesn't"
Who the hell is Bonnie?!?
@@02Lemonhead oh geeze! Well I would say poor Dallas then But I'm pretty sure Dallas has thier shit covered by taxee.
Heeeeeeey, 4 1/2 hours away from me! Coastal TX, here...and we've just had a cool front come through...you should too.
Love those yellow flowers.
Fuck yeah! I've been waiting for this one since I saw your IG stories. Finally getting a really good rundown of what grows best near me and what to spread around more. Thanks Tony!
"tacky tract houses where it was planted" I'll never understand why gardeners and landscape archs everywhere seem to spray their shorts for anything that isn't native
Customer: "why you selling me weeds that i can find growing everywhere?" Same reason we don't eat native plants. Culture traps.
@@davidgough3512 true, I've really enjoyed using native plants and fungi more over the past few years. Great way to help propagate the less common ones as well as long as you toss the seeds or spores and don't over harvest
@@theflyingcrud Nice to hear that there are people engaging with the plants and fungi. What was once a universal human practice has become a relative rarity. Yet our usual forms of entertainment and livelihood seem drastically oversimplified compared to the humbling intricacies and wonders of nature. Keep up the foraging and seeding, maybe normalize it for others. I like to show kids, they may call it weird but secretly they can't help but respect it.. it engenders confidence and besides they ought to at least understand some species sting and some are dangerous.
Native plants look so much better anyways, I don't understand it.
So interesting that the rosin weed and others are dormant when you shot this, even though it was 90 degrees and winter wasn't even close (if ft worth even gets winter idk)... there must be other seasonal factors besides cold that put the plant to sleep, maybe drought? I guess I always assumed perennial plants that live in the south just stay alive year round because they have no reason to go into dormancy to survive a winter!
One of my favorites, man! Thanks
huge Ligustrum problem here in NZ too >:(
Dang if only you had posted this video a few days ago. Just identified a ton of these plants in my plant classification class.
You ever gonna come back to the east coast? I’d like you to see the Great Dismal Swamp here in VA
Man, I haven't received a notification of any of your vids in at least a week if not two!
Did you come away with a leg-full of stickers after walkin' around out there?
He might not call them stickers..
Dinosaur Valley State Park is a must see if you are in the area. World class dinosaur tracks
how do you find these places to explore? i'm from DFW and i swear all the land on either side of any given road is fenced off
I live in south Fort Worth so loved this video !!!
nice to see ya be safe love the videos....weeeeeeeeee
wish there was a cool person doing such videos on fungi, and on ecology and interrelations in biotopes.
You were on Chicago tonight a few weeks ago
Really love the shit that'll come up in abandoned lots and such, plants with those adaptations give a little hint as to how the ecology of post-sapien cityscapes may evolve. Tough, weedy things that readily self seed and compete like hell in harsh nutrient poor urban areas
This looks like the Fort Worth Nature center,Very Cool
mimosa borealis? ... this time of year?
thank you! great!
Would be cool to see you in north eastern New Mexico, Kiowa national grassland is cool, so is Comanche national grasslands in colorado
