There are so many fascinating plant stories out there I’d like to make more videos on them. Whether people like this stuff is another matter - but I’ve made it a goal to try to make more of what interest me! 🤷♂️🤣
There are a lot of Australian terrestrial orchids that have such a tight symbiotic relationship with mycos that they are practically impossible to cultivate. Some are confined to growing in a truly tiny area, we're talking less than 2 square km, because that is the only place their specific host myco exists. And efforts to cultivate some of these mycos has proven difficult because they require very specific soil conditions. If the soil parameters go outside a certain range (pH, moisture level) even a little for any length of time they just die. It is honestly amazing that they even still exist.
Fascinating. And frequently Australia where these things occur. The mind boggles at the scale of time these relationships must have taken to develop. Humans just aren’t designed to comprehend such vast periods.
Fascinating, i'd like to see a flower because this makes no logical sense. There's more?😮 I know about the ghost pipes because they grow around here and people think they're a mushroom but they're a plant with no chlorophyll.
I love your channel. You also deal with plants that a lot of people don’t talk about. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Keep up the great work. 😃😃😃
Thanks Paul! I’m nothing if not eclectic. 🤷♂️🤣
Hi Geoff. This is all new to me. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. It would be nice to hear more about these types of plants.

Interesting xx
Glad you think so! 😁

@@Grow_Up_Man55 I can barely remember what I did yesterday🤣
Same! It’s funny cos it’s so true. 🤣
I immediately thought of peanuts, and how the plant buries its flowers. Cool story! 😮❤
Yeah plants are amazing. 🤩

Yeah me too. I guess the researchers turned up at the wrong time of the season. 🤷♂️
