Cephalotus follicularis and more Carnivorous Plants of Albany
Вставка

- Cephalotus follicularis is Australia's most iconic and unique carnivorous plant species. During my trip in 2014, I found this pitcher plant at many locations between Northcliffe and Two Peoples Bay just east of Albany. Several more carnivorous plant species from the area are also presented, including one of my all-time favourites: Drosera fimbriata!

This is so beautiful! I just hope the government will be able to protect these kinds of plants and preserve them well for us to continue witnessing them in the future.
You really put together an excellent video on these Australian carnivorous plants. It reveals great, high definition video images of each featured plant. Thanks for sharing!
Wooow what a place! This is the paradise! I'm from Italy and I wish to see Cephalotus in their habitat one day...
Thank you for allowing me to see one of my most favorite plants in its natural habitat, Great video !!!!
Thanks for sharing, i like your videos because i always wanted to see carnivorous plants on their natural habitat and it is really hard to find.
Amazing video! Greats from Brazil!
This video is awesome. Your channel is fantastic buy seriously you captured both the habitats of Cephalotus sooo well! Usually people tend to focus on those along the coast (Walpole) just because I think the plants themselves are easier to spot... here however you got those awesome shots of the inland location!!!
Thanks for your comment! The coastal Walpole location is very popular because it is easy to access. However, it is definitely not a typical Cephalotus habitat. I may do a follow-up video presenting the interesting and unique habitat preferences of C. follicularis sometime in the future ;)
I imagined... that'd be great!!! Keep it up damn well done!
@@UtriculariaThilo Hi Thilo, any chance that we can see a video that you have described in the comment above? Plus, did you ever make that video about the carnivorous plants of the Stirling Ranges? Your videos are great
Amazing video thanks.
Makes sense that these are not as water sensitive to salts as others since they probably get a good amount from the water nearby..
Wow! Great video
I'll be back there in 3 weeks. Looking forward to it.
your videos are my favorite on youtube, thanks so much for making them.
Thank you ;)
Wow Cephalotus in their habit … amazing 😌
Strange that these Cephalotus are growing near the sea, considering ocean spray with salt obviously bath these plants. But I guess the rain eventually leach away the salts. Looks like portions have collapsed after some powerful storm.
The one person who gave this a thumbs down must have missed the thumbs up button
What are the soil conditions they are growing in under the moss and liverwort? Amazing footage of them in situ by the way! Always amazing to see them how they belong
That orange moss is very interesting.
do one on Tasmania's carnivorous plants please mate,I'm ignorant of whats around me
I saw a very tiny replica of the Albany pitcher plant in the refurbished Perth Museum. They should’ve used the actual size! These plants in the video look much bigger
Great photography!
Brilliant... but only 100 odd subscribers... Criminal.
Will tell everyone in the VCPS about your excellent work.
Can't wait for more footage!
Thank you Lachlan! The next video will be about the CP's from the Stirling Range ;)
UtriculariaThilo - told the Vic CP group about yr work last night. I expect quite a few will visit and view!
Discussion of a mention in the next journal to be released!
Wow, thanks a lot for sharing my video with your CP community! I really appreciate that. In case you are interested - I also published a lot of photos from my CP-trips on facebook. The following link should work even if you don't have an account there:

I don't do Facebook so can't see them... will see if I can use my daughters account.
20 new subscribers is cool!
Less than deserved.
Thanks again for your kind comment, Lachlan!
I just uploaded the photos from facebook on my flickr account so you can see them ;) flic.kr/s/aHsm1qqQw1
Thnx for uploading! So what kind of soils and environments did we see in this video? and is it wet, dry, warm, cold, sunny, shadow, bright?
Wow so beautiful! I didn't realise that sundews were native to Australia too.
Actually, they're originated from there. Australia has about 50% of all known Drosera species, 😉
@@somedude7040 Waaaatttt? I'm Aussie and I had no idea about this.
Great video! Any chances to see the next part?
really appreciate the time filming the natural habitat for the cephalotus plants. You found these growing in sphagnum moss?
Thanks! The Cephalotus plants were growing in peaty soils together with some kind of liverword species (unrelated to Sphagnum). Sphagnum is very rare in Western Australia and (as far as I know) it has never been recorded growing together with any CP species...
that would be fantastic to see a clump of the soil they are growing in and have its ground up in the hand to have a better visual understanding of that it is compiled of. what kind of moss was that they were on top of in the second area?Thank you for the info, absolutely fantastic!!
how far away from coalmine beach did you find the cephalotus plants growing in the mossy field?
does anybody happen to know what sp of moss they're growing with?
09:07 wasp!
That's a fly ;) They can be VERY annoying in south-west Australia!
@@UtriculariaThilo some of them must be entrapped by those CP 😁
Mind tasting the soil to see if it's salty ;)
Intro song name plsss plssssssss😊
I cant believe this plant is not related to nepenthes at all.
Hey, are you able to source seeds from some of these locations?
It is illegal to collect their seeds for any purpose other than research. If you have a genuine research project and the required Regulation 61 & 4 Authority licences, then I would be happy to help :)
@@UtriculariaThilo I see, i wasnt quite aware of how strict harvesting seeds from certain locations was! I do not have the required licenses, but im interested in what it takes to get them? I live in NZ and find them very interesting. I'd love to study about them!
@@0xmanta234 Well, you need a genuine research project which should be outlined in a detailed proposal clearly stating the research questions, methodology and expected novel outcomes. Given that almost all Cephalotus locations are in nature reserves or national parks, you also need to explain how your research will be as low-impact as possible and how it could potentially benefit their conservation. Note that taking seeds just to have a nice collection in a greenhouse certainly does not qualify as research ;)
@@UtriculariaThilo Thank you so much for replying to my questions, what academic path led you to where you are now? I'd really love the opportunity to study how salt levels effect, color and size as I find the site location at coal mine bay particularly fascinating, as well as the differences in color that are expressed at the numerous site locations. It would be interesting to study the relationship between their appearance and each location, and how each environment could be influencing certain growth traits and behaviors. I'd also like to definitively answer the question as to which insects they prefer and attract best. I have lots of questions really, carnivorous plants are a new passion of mine and unfortunately for me, academia wasn't a priority in my earlier years...
@@0xmanta234 The UA-cam comment section is probably not the right place to discuss this... You are welcome to contact me via Facebook, iNaturalist or email (my true name is Thilo Krueger).
herrlich
I really enjoy your videos, keep them coming. anymore tuberous sundew content would be great. i am planting some tubers this year for the first time. check out my channel.
