God, I love monsoon season. The desert is just incredible, the smell, the cool downdrafts after being in the hot sun all day, and then everything just revives as soon as it starts raining. I hope we see more of Dr. Terry in the future!
Building little covers//Putting a little drinking water on each cacti that looked rather dehydrated.....I could feel how they were quietly thanking you guys back 💚💚💚
I love your passion for plants man. I'm a fellow plants woman from Scotland. So glad i found your videos. Safe travels and plant hunting. Best wishes from Scotland where we have no shortage of rain.
The introductory drone shots are taking these forays into another level real nice. Probably a pain in the ass with the batteries and what the shit, it's appreciated.
Interesting that you mentioned looking like coral. Decades ago, a guy set up a flower show at the Sonoma county fair, it was themed under the sea and the guy designed the entire show with mainly succulents and cacti. It was probably the best show ever
Banger content. This showed up in my recommended and I'm totally invested. Hearing the Chicago accent walking through the desert is just gold. Informative and hilarious, subscribed
That's what caught me too. I love the juxtaposition of his thick accent with the unbelievable amount of knowledge and detail he gives. Would be cool to go on a hike with this guy.
I love hearing dr. Terry laugh and listen to you go off, his joy and excitement is infectiously yin to your yang, so so goooood to see you two together!!!
I cant get over how wonderful it is to see Joey really getting into making these videos as good as then can be. The artistry of the shots with the inclusion of the drone footage is really elevating the experience in a way that makes me feel like Joey is just having as good a time as he can with it. Love Dr. Martin, Love the Lophophora, Love Jack taking a shit. Thanks again Joey, you are bringing botany and geology to a new level of accessibility and entertainment!
Drone view is excellent! I’ve acquired 100 Lophophora williamsii seeds. I’ll used crushed limestone in the base. Expanding the cactus garden in Phoenix. Extremely dry. Fingers crossed for monsoon moisture. Very spotty. Makes for humidity. Dust storms. Rain is more like steamy mud drops.
I don't even know how I got here but by the time you made it to the old pyroclastic flow by the side of the road I was charmed. I salute your botanical knowledge and appreciate your running commentary on just about everything, including the expletives. Dr. Terry, thank you for your work and hope and knowledge. (All my cactus up here in Ontario (3) are houseplants so to see a whole world of them down there is amazing.) Thanks! I especially love the idea of staking plants and coming back to check on them, and your true love for plants shines through -you are literally watering plants in the desert. Good on you.
Those lophs growing in the cracks are some of the most beautiful and pristine examples of them ive ever seen of them in the wild, looks like some of the ones I've got growing from seed. what a treat!
Love you Tony! We have a little diverse population of cultivated lophophora growing up here in northern Michigan! Sowing seeds and growing the population 💚
I’ve been so happy to see that you’re in west Texas often! I used to live in Alpine, and the Big Bend is my favorite place in this great state. Dr. Terry is a cool guy, and I always enjoyed attending his talks at research meetings. Also, I can’t tell you how thrilled I was to see that you started hanging out with Michael Eason! He is a great guy, and i greatly appreciate the work he does. When I first discovered your channel I thought it would be cool if the two of you got together to botanize. I live a couple of hours north of the Big Bend now, but it would be a honor to meet you if we ever happen to cross paths down there. Thank you so much for the work you do!
Mr Peyote he is my man. He dances on my head whenever he can! Just when I think the dance is over, he dances more as the night is over. I laugh, and laugh, and laugh as the waitress looks at me odd in the Dennys but doesn't call the cops. 24 hours. The good old days in Madison Wi on Halloween 35 years ago. Never try to eat someone's red mushroom costume after consuming Peyote. They will not understand.
The strychnine causes you to puke your guts out. It is essentially announcing the trip is starting and if you eating a lot 8-10 you better have someone watching over you cause you will not be in control. It is not, I repeat not a party drug. It does not enhance music. I agree, it is better to do mescaline. in pills if you can find it and know for certain it is real. Better know an organic chemist who makes it from gallic acid.

Thank you Dr. Terry and Joey for taking us to this special area. The weather no doubt made it especially enjoyable as I know from experience how a desert rainstorm can feel, and more importantly, smell. There is nothing like it. As long as you aren't trapped by slick roads someplace you don't want to stay.
This is the only channel I literally just leave playing on my TV during the day. Tony is the best. Reminds us how incredible the plant kingdom is. So much to learn. Also, discussing the landscape, rocks, and geology is a bonus. As much about everything as possible! Thanks Tony…..ya bastard. Love-K. And…I purchased his book, t-shirts, and hat. All a’you’s do that too…..
Thanks for making my day haha. Our car broke down going to bethel New York a while back and all I could think was at least this isn’t the desert of Texas.
Loved the video, thanks to your videos on botanics and geology i have a much better understanding of the cacti i grow. I don't consider myself a collector because collectors want to collect and have things to brag of and many times don't care if a plant is poached. Aside from cacti i also love caudex and poaching there is horrible, everything is poached and no one wants to have small caudex only big individuals extracted from nature for example what's happening with Stephania species. P.s: loved the rain at the end of the video, it gave me a good vibe thinking how much all those species needed the water
I'd love to come see this place before and after a rain. I live in rural Georgia, and that first spring downpour is magical. The day before everything is so dead and dormant, it's a landscape of brown and grey, except for our pines. The day after it looks like a completely different place, I don't know how they respond so fast. It's like someone airbrushed shades of green everywhere while we slept.
For a change Tony is varying the videos with stills. Which in terms of production values is a step up. The nice thing about the videos is Tony handling the plants to see distinguishing features. It’s more difficult in stills to find visually plant features for identification. Yet stills offer more clarity about features. This is a conundrum of photography about knowing what’s there. It’s interesting to watch Tony struggle with self expression. The key element of features is how Tony names them. That naming can be very ambiguous in what is what in a photo. Sometimes clarified by drawing lines from words to feature. Never the less humans don’t need such things to know features in the real world. So this struggle for self expression is really exploring what seeing does in the real world.
CAN YOU PLAESE MAKE MORE VIDEOS OF YOU GUYS GOING OUT TO THE DESSERT AND WATERING CACTI IN NEED? IT WAS SO CALMING AND MADE ME SO HAPPY. NOW I WANT TO GO TO THE DESERT WITH BOTTLES OF WATER TO WATER ALL THE LITTLE CACTI IN NEED 😁
If you want to have the same affect as peyote but don’t want to harvest an endangered plant use Echinopsis pachanoi aka San Pedro cactus it’s common in ornamental horticulture.
San Pedro grows really well, along the Sacramento River, Tehama County, between Bend and Red Bluff. No roads or trails, just up the 60' bluffs, by tube/boat.
When did the name get changed to echinopsis? Only recently looked into it again after propagating it for over a decade now, still haven't found time try it for a second time... Soon tho. Love the flowers too, such a sweet tropical perfume.
Awesome, I just finished reading Michael Pollon’s This is Your Mind on Plants, the last section of which talked a lot about this. Stoked to watch my favorite irreverent plant man take a spin on it.
Volo bog.... Lake county Illinois...... You been there yet.... Pitcher plants, many different mycelium mats n fungi species...... When in Rome let's roam...
What a treat. I was hoping to hear a mention of Dr. Terry's work since you were in West Texas but as a guest!! On a walking trek!! My knees are garbage so a walk through my favorite desert with plant experts was an unknown dream. I was at Sul Ross studying geology (highly appreciated the rocking commentary) and fell in love with the biology of life there.
What a fascinating habitat, the adaptations are so impressive , clever little plants . Dr Terrys laugh if is so infectious . I’d love to be taught about these fascinating plants by him. Seriously loving and learning loads from your videos. If you’re ever in the UK please come visit Dungeness where I live.
This channel my new oxygen!! I want homie to come critique my garden!! I’m one in a billion who doesn’t do boring green sod, these dummies still got the sprinklers going in the sun. Smdh! Love the content!
My 3 Peyotle seedlings became a bit chubby so I measured the diameter...and they are over 1cm/0.4inch now! It took them only 6 years to grow that big. Since YOU can eat a peruvianus or bridgesii don`t even think about touching these grandma`s and grandpa`s!!!
Yes! Too many people selfishly insist on consumption of peyote that they don't know or care how it was harvested, when Peruvian Torch or San Pedro cuttings can easily be found online without harm to an endangered historically significant plant.
@@WinterReflections I never ate a Peyotle. For exactly that reason I tried Peruvian Torch. I cut back the plants properly so they can regrow. And still have them. After +20 years. I am too old to take a mescalin journey now plus there is no need too. I just love plants and since it is not illegal to have them in Europe, I take good care of them. Better than mother nature :)
I'm a text and then I'm a little bit ashamed to say that back in the early 90s or the late 80s me and a few friends used to go out to Big bend national Park and picked a few of those buttons. Severe vomiting ensues. I didn't know they were endangered back then and maybe they weren't back then. Just living that freak life.
Another bunch of bangers. Dr Terry's giggle is infectious. Thanks for giving a shot in a world full of it.
I'm glad you think so I find it highly irrutating
I came to say the same thing about Dr. Terry's laugh-- I love it! What an awesome guy!
@SoftserveSodium I hope you and your loved ones are well. You have a great outlook.
Love that laugh, perfect accompaniment to crime pays reverent irreverence. Wiser and more amused lol.
Dont forget the top knotch Limestone Erotica 😜
I see crime pays and cactus... I pause my whole life and smash that play button.
Steinbeckian paisano...this dude's commentary is pure gold!
the "NO IT DOESNT YA JACKASS" kills me
Editing Joey yelling at Live Action Joey is a whole mood and it's making my day
I can Smell that rain evaporating off the lime stone! Beautiful.
The doctor's laugh is the best.
Laughter is the best medicine!
You had me at limestone erotica and you didn’t disappoint!
he was sweating like whore in church.. damn sounds intense
Look at you two, watering these babies in a desert 💕
super cute. Giggling like school children. Loved the combo.
“You get into aquatics Martin?”
“Only when I jump in”
Yes. 👏
God, I love monsoon season. The desert is just incredible, the smell, the cool downdrafts after being in the hot sun all day, and then everything just revives as soon as it starts raining. I hope we see more of Dr. Terry in the future!
Your love for the ancient grounds of adversities is nothing short of an inspiring addiction, thank you sir.
This whole channel is documented history. Thank you for what you do Sir 🙏

Thanks for showing the rain! I could smell it through the glass.
This was so awesome to watch seeing you guys watering the plants in need made some so happy and now I want to go see cacti and water them too!

As long as you aren't trapped by slick roads someplace you don't want to stay.
Petrichor, Creosote, and sweet acacia are the ultimate scents of the Arizona & Texas deserts.
many dogs make sense when seen with their owners. This one, however, OMG. match made in heaven.
Fun and informative! You should hang out with Dr. Terry more often.
Its amazingly beautiful how everything in nature just works
I liked your TicToks, but I'm very glad I found these longer videos on UA-cam.
This is amazing. I wish poaching wasn't such an issue. They take FOREVER to grow.
As soon as you said cops stoping you Doc started getting a oh sht kinda smile 😅
Aussie here. Around 8.40 I'm thinking, yeah, "I'd be looking for snakes". Then I learn you guys got 'Diamond Backs'. My $5 says that's a snake, eh?

F*cking love it !!!!! Best duo ever. And the dogs get less hassle ;)
Love your videos cant stop watching and. You sure know how to keep us listening.
Thanks for taking us all out there. Made my day!

If you want to have the same affect as peyote but don’t want to harvest an endangered plant use Echinopsis pachanoi aka San Pedro cactus it’s common in ornamental horticulture.

They do not have the same effects . Not even trichocereus all have the same effects .
@@machinegunhippy they're very very similar. The alkaloids don't make a very large difference.
