Excellent video. Appreciate you showing the many different kinds instead of just the canadensis version and acting as though it's the only Goldenrod as so many do.
Excellent, clear video! First one I've come across that shows clear video of the different varieties. Thank you for helping me identify I do, in fact, have goldenrod!
I became captivated by huge goldenrods growing along the wooded path my dog & I walked this year. What a discovery! It was a mystical experience to see & be around them. And so began my love affair with the golden flower. Not even knowing what I was doing - I reverently picked some of the magnificent blooms, cut them up & put them into jars with apple cider vinegar creating an amazing elixir. (We must have been together in a past lifetime.) Their essence, vitality & lifeforce enhance my bath water - restoring my body & soul, removing all negative energy & healing my aura.
I was surprised by that too! I guess it makes sense though. I was listening to his podcast about native plants, and I was also struck by the wide variety of milkweed.
Matt, I was hiking and exploring in Western Mass a few years back and stumbled upon a field of Canada Goldenrods. What mesmerized me the most was the fragrance! The whole field was filled with that pleasant, sweet, honey-like fragrance. As a matter of fact, I am super big on fragrance. It's one of the most precious things for me. Because of this, almost all of the orchids in my collection are fragrant. I also grow a couple of gardenias indoors and a Fragrant Tea Olive! I even have a fragrant succulent, the String of Pearls, which flowers smell a bit like cinnamon! Keep in mind that a lot of people who are into plants are also into their fragrance.This leads me to giving you a constructive feedback. Now Matt, at one point in this video you took a big whiff of the goldenrod and that's pretty much it. It would be great if you would mention if a plant that you found/are talking about is fragrant or not, and if it is, take a few seconds to describe the fragrance and if it is strong or subtle! This would be greatly appreciated by me, and I'm pretty sure by many other watchers! Great content by the way! Keep it up! Stay chill
Had no idea you had a UA-cam channel and I really liked this video! I love goldenrod for its beauty and ecological value. There's a type of goldenrod for every kind of condition in a garden.
Actually I was watching Casper cartoon and I saw Goldenrod area which sad watchdog entered to there while his eyes bandaged with bandanna for testing his smell capabilities following one flower Casper drags around. He started to sneeze and lost his path. After that scene I started to search this flower and look what I found. WOW!
@@jonhohensee3258 Actually, he did, but only a crude rubber. The project went on for several years after his death, but synthetic rubber proved much more economical to produce, so the goldenrod rubber efforts were abandoned.
I like the music... it's like he just slayed the bad guy, saved the world and got the girl.. .while walking thru a field talking about weeds. Good stuff. Keep posting.
Nice survey, thank-you. Our Plant Field Ecology prof. (Concordia Univ. Montreal) told us it was Plantago major (disturbed ground successional plant.) which was the major culprit for hay fever allergies in our region, anyway.
I have much Solidago californica in my L.A. yard and it is lovely and easy to grow. Let's bring nature home! Not enough of it left out there for the birds and bees!
I'm in central Cali, and I've been working hard for years to make my property a pollinator haven. I'm just starting to get into goldenrods, but I'm very impressed by how many bees are coming to my Showy Goldenrod right now. I need much more as far as late summer flowers go.
Justin Voss that's true but often grow where there are other plants that do cause allergies.I particularly love fields and meadows but a lot of folks stay away from them or mow them down. I sniff everything but again I don't suffer from any allergies. I loved your videos.
Goldenrods do not cause allergies, period , if you were allergic to goldenrod you would need to eat it to he affected , the pollen is not spread by wind , it is heavy and is spread by animals , specifically pollinators, unless you are eating bees and butterflies no allergies from goldenrod
Wonderful video! Thank you. btw, do you know the name of the white-flowered plants that were growing alongside the goldenrods in your video? Thanks so much.
I cut my goldenrod back because after it bloomed, the long stem was dying from top to bottom, so I trimmed it and it has not grown a long stem to bloom since. Any suggestions on how to get it to bloom again?
Thank you for this! I love learning about all the free food & medicine God put on my property-Goldenrod being one of my favorites! My question is… @4:00 you’re in front of “Showy Goldenrod” & right next to it is similar looking plant with white flowers instead of yellow. Do u happen to know what that white flowered plant is called? I have tons of goldenrod on my property but I also have quite a few of the white flowered plants as well. that looks very similar to goldenrod but with tiny white flowers instead yellow. Does Goldenrod have a white flowered variety? The leaves taste & smell exactly like goldenrod. I’ve looked online but get conflicting info. Thank you for your time :)
I own a showy Goldenrod and it is in a pot. It once bloomed this fall in October and now the flowers look brown dead. Would you suggest deadheading the flowers?
Lavender asters and goldenrod look beautiful together. The early colonists were much struck by this color combination. At one time lavender symbo;lized little boys and a limpid yellow, little girls. The signs for sacrifice in the Roman Colosseum were in these colors. generally 80 per cent little boys, twenty per cent little girls. All they really had was this moth mullein and the proportions were wrong.
Golden rods might not cause allergies but they are a sure signe my eyes are going to be itchy and swollen, I'll be breathing out my mouth all day and be choking down more zertec than is recommended.
Goldenrods do not cause allergies at all , if you were allergic to goldenrod you would need to eat it to be affected, the pollen is very heavy , not carried by wind if you tap a flower it falls to the ground like lead dust
Excellent video. Appreciate you showing the many different kinds instead of just the canadensis version and acting as though it's the only Goldenrod as so many do.
Excellent, clear video! First one I've come across that shows clear video of the different varieties. Thank you for helping me identify I do, in fact, have goldenrod!
Very much appreciated explaining the subtleties of each Goldenrod . Will certainly keep my eyes sharp when looking at them---learned a lot, thanks.
Also---eagerly look forward to the next blog. Each is well assembled with music, camera, location, presentation, etc...again thank you.

I didn't even know there were more than one Goldenrod, thanks!!😊

Thanks so much for this information. I bought 4 types of Goldenrod today, and I wasn't sure on where to plant them. They have found a great new home.
I m a LA Gurl...We Would Never BUY goldenrod 😅
@@smoochysmoochy7267why ? Goldenrod is dope
Excellent and informative video! I learned a lot! Thank you! I'll keep an eye out for the pretty Showy.
I had just taken some pictures of these the other week, but had no idea what they were called! Perfect timing
I really enjoy your videos. Keep 'em coming please!
Well done. Thanks. I'm starting a native plant nursery in West center Indiana and plan on specializing in Goldenrod amount a couple of others.
Nice vid.
Would be nice if there was videos of what various plants looked like young like in the spring so they don't get pulled.
Love the music you chose.
I love the filming and presentation style.
Love the teaching and information style.
Excellent job.
Yes,rock n roll goldenrod!

Thanks for this. Thomas Edison found a way to make rubber from goldenrod, and developed a strain that grew to 12' tall!
No he didn't.

@@sazji - WRONG
Love this video - wonderful!
Once again a beautiful video! S. canadensis is known as an aggressive invasive plant in Europe. Nice plant though.
Better to grow it in containers...
Excellent video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! I love Goldenrod for its medical properties!

Weeds???

Exactly what I'd been looking for!! Love this so much :-)
All names are given in the show notes. Just click on "show more" in the description.
I thought this was a stoner metal video at first haha
Awesome video! Thanks for the information!
Well! That Was Different 😎
Nice video! The music makes this feel like an episode of Longmire 🤠
this is the most lynchian plant video i've ever seen. 10/10

Love it!! Keep them coming!!
Fantastic video! I'm going to link to it from my new video on smelly beehives. Keep up the great work.

Since I'm not allergic I love these fall plants!
A big theme of this video is that goldenrod do not cause allergies.

And it is incredible medicine. 🙂
Music is too loud

I have gray goldenrod, can you make tea out of it?
Goldenrod is beautiful. I learned many years ago it is not Ragweed!
these videos are great
Curious, do all these and other goldenrod have tye sane medicinal properties?
The golden rods didn't do it!!! They're being framed
yes!!!!!
How do you deadhead golden rod? Thank you
Can you use moonshine instead of vodka
Golden rods might not cause allergies but they are a sure signe my eyes are going to be itchy and swollen, I'll be breathing out my mouth all day and be choking down more zertec than is recommended.

They are not what causes allergies its what you drink as tea to cure allergies!lol
I been thinking they were rag weeds for years ...I am so pleased i found out they are magic with medicinal uses .Thank you so much for sharing.
sounds like a bad B hippy movie lol
looks like my backyard
Solidago - especially gigantea and canadensis are one of the most invasive plants to find in Europe.
I donno bindweed and budjula
OK there is so much time spent on the aesthetics of the filming I just wanted the information so didn’t finish watching.
Are all goldenrod edible ?
Did you make the music you use in this?
Very cool!🌿
Not cause hay-fever? Why do I start sneezing in the presence of large quantities?
Lonnie Beal because it grows right beside ragweed
The pollen is very heavy and does not cause any allergic reaction unless eaten
Any chance you could put up the names (just the common)? I'm not sure I heard them correctly. Pretty please?
i liked this video before you said FALL and COLD. :-( lol
What state did you find these in?
This was filmed in central Illinois.
We have it in Connecticut
@@kevindaniel4141 - No you don't.
Kansas
ditch the music next time
can you lose the overpowering “sound” track- (noise track) quite distracting. Spend the entire video turning the volume up and down
You're so cute
???
Liked video overall but almost couldn't watch do to the highly annoying music! 🥴
The Golden Rod that is called Canadian Goldenrod is poisonous
