This was a great vid! I’ve been listening to the podcast for a few years, never searched here, I need more! I’m out east but constantly watch crime pays, that’s how I found you. You should really upload more man, there’s so few good plant vids here, especially interesting vids in the eastern woods. There’s so much great stuff here, it’s really a journey to see some of this stuff tho
Just found your channel....now Im binge watching - Im relocating from DC to Brevard (Pisgah Forest) and trying to learn about the plants in the area. Thank you! Tragic about the Hemlock. Thank you for the awareness.
We have Goodyera tesselata here in S. Eastern Quebec (Canada.) Great Lakes St-Lawrence forest region (Hosie) The national park system moved a complete camping complex when the botanist found them tucked away in the large hemlock groves. Great lecture. (Q?. which eastern maples retain their leaves in the fall? ) Thanks.
Thank you! Nearly all the plants you identified grow as far north as New England, if only barely so. I don't know if they are all as evergreen here, although they are mostly all at least somewhat evergreen here, emerging and disappearing behind the snow that falls and melts throughout the year. Shortis galacifolia and Anemone nobilils are a couple that do not make it to New England.
I think it is because as a single plant matures, it sends out new stems in all directions and those stems do the same over and over. Eventually, the older plants in the center die off, leaving only the younger shoots on the outside. Not all colonies seem to do this but its a pattern I have observed in other plants as well. Some irises are prone to this growth habit.
@@InDefenseofPlants many plants (and fungi) grow like this. Iris can really form that ring pattern as they mature. Grasses do it a lot too. Fairy ring fungi are the easiest notice, as they grow they deplete the soil around the mother plant and it sends fresh growth further out into more fertile soil.
I think you need another camera lens with a much smaller minimum focusing distance. Many close up shots are out of focus since your camera is way too close and zooming in doesn't work either since most camera lenses don't work like a microscope. Also your lens may need a bigger aperture to let the light through to create a better low light images. Usually lens with big apertures are called "fast" lens since they can make a picture faster because they are letting in more light to develop a picture quickly, a telltale sign of a large aperture lens is a very large glass diameter. Maybe get a lens with an aperture or 2.0 or 1.8. The smaller the number the bigger the aperture opening that let's light into your camera sensor. Lenses with smaller apertures are fine if you are doing video in bright sunlight and are cheaper since they need a smaller glass lens and require less light to develop a picture.

Thanks for this great video! I'll be sharing it with my online-learning middle school Outdoor Ed class here in Western North Carolina!
Thank you for the video, Sir!
It was wonderful!

Love your podcast, dude!
Spotted wintergreen have the best smelling flowers...ever.
Mmm maybe im thinking of the rattlesnake plantain.
Nice winter walk! Thanks!
I just ran across that variety of club moss for the first time note long ago I've only seen the other kind here in my corner of Appalachia.
Another great video. Thank you and I look forward to the next one :)

Do you think the little hairs on the Hepatica are for cold protection?
Any idea why the clubmoss are growing in a circle?

We used to call the wooly bugs ghost bugs
