Thanks May. Have a Great Christmas ⛄😎🎄🥂

It's nice to know that CO2 is a good guy.... And waste heat is an inevitable fact of life. Thanks for watching Ziggy and have a great Christmas ⛄🍻🥂🎄🌟

@@ZiggySearchfieldCactus 🤣🤣 It's easily missed!! It was growing in my garden this year... it's quite different from the others. Thanks for watching Ziggy! 😎👍

You too Mai, thanks for watching! 😎👍

@@jyothianandan2166 It was at B&Q priced at £10...thanks for watching!

Thanks Ziggy! These Willowherbs are at their most vulnerable at this time of year...

@@newbotany They are in my potato patch 😬

Are they seedlings or adult plants? RHS recommends hoeing to remove seedlings.

@@newbotany Both Alan, I've dug the lot over now. Video to come on the other channel when I've done 🙂

Thanks for watching, subscribing and for your kind comments! 😎👍

Thanks! 🙏😎👍

Hi Mai, you too and thanks for watching! 😎👍

Thanks Ziggy... But I've no idea what you mean..🤭😳😚

Thanks for watching Ziggy. Thinking about this I've started to wonder if the adhesion is a really just a reaction between the water on the mosses and the glaze on the wooden bowl..🤔

Hi Mai, you too and thank you for watching! 😎👍

Who knows what it might get up to?? Thanks Ziggy! 🎋

Thanks Ziggy... Everyone's doing the Monster Mash! 👻👻👾👾

@@newbotany You'll catch on in a flash 😁

@ZiggySearchfieldCactus In fact, it'll be a gas ! ⛽ ⛽

Thanks for watching!👍👍

@@newbotany You are so welcome!

Thanks Mai..you too 😎👍

@@ZiggySearchfieldCactus Yes this is a fantastic resource for families in Nottingham. It also provides work placements for young people with special educational needs. Thanks for watching Ziggy! 👍😎

@@newbotany Excellent 🙂 I help out with SEN students down the local nursery too 🙂

@ZiggySearchfieldCactus It's very rewarding with SEN children, as I also know from my own experience.

Thanks for looking in, Ziggy 👍😎! Bardill's is tempting and the prices have come down a bit since COVID.

Yes it's a great place for plant lovers and collectors. Thanks for watching, EP!

Thanks Ziggy! It is noticeable that some of the moss shoots change over time.. some die, new ones grow, even in the desiccated state.

@@Jay9595 Thanks for watching...I am adding more information in the description.

Thanks for watching 👍😎!

You too Mai! 😀Thanks for looking in!

Thanks Ziggy. There is I think some similarity and link between Crassulaceae and Epilobium, in the formation of 4-angled buds. Hairy Willowherb (E. hirsutum) is a UK native now a pernicious invader in the USA. So we've swapped invasives! 😳🤔

@@newbotany I just found out that the Bridgwater beans I sent to Texas died 😬

🥺🥺😂

Have a great week filming, Mai 👍😎😀

@@newbotany Thank you . ☺️

Thanks Mai, you too! 😎🙂

I hope it wasn't one of the rare ones! 😜😁 Thanks for watching Ziggy!

@@newbotany It isn't now Alan 😬😬🪴

@@ZiggySearchfieldCactus rip on the compost heap 🥺🥺

@@newbotany You should see the compost heap at the moment, just put all the tomato plants on it 😬

You should get a good crop of 🍅🍅 on your compost heap😀😁

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching Mai!

Thanks for watching! 😎👍

It really is a Puya, though it's starting to look like a tree Aloe, with dead leaves clasping the trunk.

Thanks Ziggy! I wish I had as much on top as them!

@@newbotany 😬😬😁😁

You gotta love em, real survivors until Mrs Zigs does the weeding! 😜🤣🤣

@@newbotany You should see the compost heap 😬

@@ZiggySearchfieldCactus Does it get hot? I did research on composting for about 15 years.

@@newbotany I don't know, it's about 10 foot high 😬 I have to hoik it up with the pitchfork.

Yes it does look a bit like a pineapple.. member of the same family 👍😎, thanks for watching Ziggy!

Strangely enough, this has no record of being smoked, though it's been used in herbal teas. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! 😎👍

Thanks Ziggy! For a mind-blowing read, have a look at this paper on Boquila trifoliata. This takes plant behaviour to another level.. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8903786/

@@newbotany Blimey 😬 I had an ex girlfriend who did the same with shop window manequins 😬😬

@@ZiggySearchfieldCactus 😲😲🤣

Thanks for watching! It's interesting that a lot of plants in the pea family move their leaves, most notably the famous Sensitive Plant, Mimosa pudica.

Thanks Mai! Have a great week! 😎👍

@@newbotany You too . Thank you . ☺️

Thanks for watching! There is a close-up of the flower head at 0.57, sorry I didn't do close-ups of the rest of the plant.

Thanks Mai! 👍😄👍

Thanks Ziggy! I am surprised that anything survived the impact. I would have expected the atmosphere to have been completely depleted of oxygen by the asteroid impact... Making it impossible for the flowers to survive. 🤔

@@newbotany Not just the atmosphere, top layers of the sea probably lost a lot too. The only ammonite that survived was the Nautilus which is a deep sea one. If you think about the animals that made it, most of them were in mud, water or burrows, glod knows how they got enough to breathe? 😬

Interesting... Thanks for your thoughts on this Ziggy!

Many thanks for watching, EP!

😄😀

Thanks for watching, and for your kind comment! 👍😎

No, but is it still available? Thanks for watching, Ziggy! 😎👍

@@newbotany Can't find my copy, lost a lot of my books when I was homeless, but it's available from ebay for a tenner 🙂

@@ZiggySearchfieldCactus The illustrations look beautiful!

@@newbotany They are, I thought we'd bought another copy but I can't find it 😬

Thanks, EP!

Thanks Mai, enjoy your week!
