Love your work man👍 I think you have a steel hawser of a brain, it latches on to stuff and never lets go. I garden professionally, first career I’ve had where I never get bored (12 yrs and counting - previous best was 3 years max)always learning, always problem solving😁Your vids are great 👍 I think I might value the fury and frustration, the misanthropic mien nearly as much as the botany🤫 Corporate dairy farms that used to be sheep farms; farmstead gardens sprayed with herbicide ‘to keep them tidy’ fucken herbal genocide.
No other plant channel on TH-cam will interrupt your botany lesson to talk about feral cats or an opossum named Larry that may or may not have died suddenly.
Imagine if all teachers were this direct and compelling. The comprehension rate would skyrocket and the drop out rate would plunge. No boring hum drum teachers where it is hard to stay awake in class.
Teaching is an art form that many teachers are not good at. Out of all the years I was in school, literally, only two teachers were able to capture my attention and keep it. Needless to say, I did very well in their classes.
@@amymoriyama6616 Teaching is all about keeping the students engaged in the subject matter. And engaging with students in general. Learning is actually fun. Hopefully in the new coming age learning and engaging will be popular once again.
Wow ! That's great ! Is this the same area Myron Dewey was trying to protect ? He's that Indian that uses drones for good. He covered the Standing Rock fiasco but his tribe is in Nevada.
If you're new to botany 'Plant Identification Terminology' by James G Harris and Melinda Woolf Harris is like an accompanying guide to this channel. Get the physical copy, watch shows like this, and take notes...you wont regret it
Marianne north was a victorian explorer, she went to Papua new guinea to paint plants (she also discovered several species of nepenthes, and has a species of kniphofia and nepenthea named after her) pretty much all her work is on display at kew gardens, its worth checking them out!
I had no idea her works were on display at Kew gardens. As if I didn't need another reason to visit. Luckily I now live in Germany and restrictions are lifting I gadda try and make a summer trip up there. Thanks a million for that info
@@alfonsoalvarez7853 I think you're right. According to a book I've got (The Evening Garden by Peter Loewer - has a chapter on night-blooming cacti), she spent years looking for a blooming specimen of Selenicereus wittii. There's a Brazilian documentary about her finally finding it shortly before her death.
Grandchild and i watch. Yes i let her watch even if she's only 5. She can learn plants anywhere but learning to cuss takes a pro. Honestly didn't think she really paid much attention but after you said one of the plants is related to milkweed she says oh that's the one with the sticky stuff inside. Thanks for your videos.
I have literally no idea why the algorithm decided to show me this video, but I’m halfway through and by god I’m glad it did. I’ve killed every plant I’ve come across (and only just recent,y decided to give plant parenthood another go) but I am already so invested. I would do a hell of a lot better in school if everything was taught like this. I don’t have any spare money till August, but god damn I want to support this. I will now proceed to binge all of your content. Stay amazing.
"An abandonded quarry... Well it wasn't really abadonded we got woken up the next morning by workers" Lol perfect! "Hey, it was abandonded when I got here" 😂😂
Honey. I just discovered you. I see tats on your hand, my untrained ear hears an eastern accent. All I can picture is a botanist gangster and you are making my day fantastic.
I was recommended this out of the blue. And this is the best thing to happen to me all week. Not only have I learnd things I am also intrigued in this channel's lore or history.
I’ve seen this channel recommended to me several times and finally had time to check it out today. Now I see why it was incessantly in my recommendations. I freakin’ love this silly prick. I’ve never been so fascinated while also being so entertained. New subscriber here, notifications on, I need more of this! Can’t wait to go through the backlog!
What a unique channel. Never heard colourful language in a gardening type video. Thank you for showing me that even city boys can know stuff about plants. Loved it. Subbed.
I moved to singapore for a year when they caned that kid, my family's idea of a going away gift was a buncha spray paint. I know they smell like hell but seeing a titan arum bloom is still on my bucket list
Correction on your bee pheromone talk... The alarm/stress pheromone is produced by the Koschevnikov gland, which is at the base of the stinger. That pheromone smells like bananas. The Nasonov gland is between the last few sections of the abdomen on top, and produces a pheromone that attracts other honeybees. It smells very similar to lemongrass. It's used to direct a swarm or guide a queen back from mating. Love your videos!
I love how you just continue to press your luck with your grandma. That driving comment right on the heels of saying she threatened you for making fun of her 🤣
Bruh - the 411 on the Ceropegia sandersonii? My bee keeping homies and I are shitting ourselves with this science and humor. We're inspired to do more research on this plant, I mean - the fuck with the selective pressure to develop this as a pollinating modality? We are honored to have you in this world Joey.
Damn you! Right away you start with Dendrosicyos socotranus from the island Socotra, of which I have never even heard before. So I put your wonderful video and go to Wikipedia to find out exactly what and where Socotra is. It's a short article, so I check out the geography and nature sections as well as the bibliography and references. About an hour later, I know more about Socotra than anyone else for hundreds of miles around. It's a beautiful and interesting island. Now I have to figure out which body parts I'd have to sell to get to Socotra. See what you done? Thanks for a brilliant episode and the travel inspiration.
Very cool that you had free reign to film in this greenhouse. I’ve heard Ernesto S. talk about many of these plants. It was fun to hear your take on some of them. I had a chance to purchase a young Dendrosicyos socotranus a few years ago. I was attracted to it because it’s endemic to Socotra and that’s a big plus for a plant enthusiast like me. The grower wanted $75. Unfortunately at the time, I didn’t know much about the species or whether I could keep it alive, , so I decided to pass on it. I’ve since regretted that decision. It was a healthy, seed grown plant.
I regret not taking more cuttings when I volunteered there. Ernesto was cool with you propagating almost anything because it was a learning experience. Saw some people take dorstenia cuttings. Oh well, at least I introduced a few species of passiflora that were probably tossed a by now.
This is amazing and hilarious. My BF is a plant goon- Whenever we take walks we have to stop frequently so he can talk about and investigate plants and flowers. I sent this video to him because he's also a potty mouth and think he is gonna lose his fucking mind. Thank you!
Lovely! Small correction : E. baioensis is actually from Kenya. First discovered on the summit of mt. Baio then found again in the 90's on the ridge leading up to the summit overlooking a 1km drop.

just found your channel. first video ive watched so far. ABSOLUTELY not what i was expecting but holy fuck i love it. title and thumbnail caught me. stayed for your unique style...very entertaining. already shared with friends
This is by far the strangest botany video I've ever watched. That being said, this is the ONLY botany video I've ever watched. Thanks TH-cam algorithm, loved it.
Amorphophallus Konjac stinks, but not quite like a dead carcass. Here in North Florida, I love to treat unknowing friends in the spring to my Magnolia Ashei flowers (endangered) , followed by Konjac, which blooms about the same time. Gullibly, they all sniff, ever deeper come the Konjac. Expecting a similar treat, they are soon repulsed, as once willing noses betray smiling faces, compelled to contort in disgust. What a practical joke it is-botanically so. Amazing video from an amazing guide! Loved the conservatory vs. in situ info. -P
Thank you for all the content brother, I love all your videos. I've been into botany and horticulture over the last 6-7 years and greatly appreciate all of your knowledge. Are there any books you recommend on the subject to further my understanding of plants and soil?

Thanks, I needed a pick me up. I know my books are all outdated, some refer to the Aceraceae, but I've resisted getting new ones. I got a new wildflower book for my region in the mail today, 10 minutes of browsing has me a little shaken. Joe Pye weed's not a Eupatorium, neither knotweed or smartweed are Polygonum, and Solidago has been broken into at least 3 genera? I'm going to have to go through every plant in the book, good thing it's only got a like 1k species. How did you resist saying "dahngs" when looking at that one Arecacious bastard? The place looks similar to a UC greenhouse I spent some time in, where I saw my first Welwitschia. I'd love to see them in situ, all looking like trash. We can dream!
@@treebeard7140 yes, they have such an interesting life. The first year or two they still have they cotyledons. When they lose those, they basically can't die
Gnetales in general are just the wildest damn things. Evolution really did just try and make angiosperms 2.0 and ended up with some weird ass desert survivors and tropical lianas.
Amazing content as always. I have been working in a garden center for three months, hell of a lot better than working inside and its defknity helping me learn mrle about botany.

I fucking love welwitschia mirabilis so much. They are so cool, I really wanna see one in the wild. Hopefully study them in a while
Don't they only grow in the driest regions of Africa? They are true survivors
@@treebeard7140 yes, they have such an interesting life. The first year or two they still have they cotyledons. When they lose those, they basically can't die
mark chinguz oh man what an alien of a plant. I heard it can go 3+ years with zero rain.
Gnetales in general are just the wildest damn things. Evolution really did just try and make angiosperms 2.0 and ended up with some weird ass desert survivors and tropical lianas.
You BE CAREFUL! one day there will pop up a plant with adoptive features to lure and feed on trash talking botanists.
This is absolutely genius. Everything about it.
This bastard knows how to teach! Thank you
Fascinating stuff, and a few laughs.
Amazing content as always. I have been working in a garden center for three months, hell of a lot better than working inside and its defknity helping me learn mrle about botany. Sucks that I cant wear my crime pays but not any doesn't hat or sweaters but I can at least steer people towards buying native plants
Amorphophallus konjac is definitely on my bucket list to grow!
Carrion flowers!! Now there’s a cool niche
Love this!!!!! U r the best
This man knows Everything about a plant!
