- A brief expose of the some of common and lesser-known plants of the Southernmost region of the US that isn't Florida (and thank god for that, no offense). In this video we explore some of the plants from the land of Tamaulipan Thornscrub and fine Taquerias, on rich soils that have been laid down over hundreds of thousands of years by the meandering path of the Rio Grande River.

"They got the gape on them, waiting for the pollen and what not"
You never cease to amaze me with your words 😂
Young man I'm glad that you're still out making videos in this ugly time
The knowledge is absolute pristine
The attitude is absolutely dead center
You are speaking my mind thank you
Again excellent video
DITTO
Well put
Man, I’ve lived there my entire life and you’ve made me have more of an appreciation of my plants.
after watching your videos for over a year i've learned quite a bit, but my biggest takeaway is that everything is a sunflower.
Its nice to see your beautiful face, Joey!!!
Thank you for uploading free videos weekly even during those hard times. Your content makes my day every time, no exaggeration.
Same
You are the reason I took up botany class in uni, thanks for these vids during these dark times!
really informative, i used to see those shells broken everywhere where i used to live so its nice to know what that actually meant. i also really want to know what i can add to my yard to make it more like the valley's native landscape
The big box stores should perhaps be made to at least install rooftop gardens to partially compensate for the land they sterilize.
Great idea.
that's a cool idea!
It'd be nice if these retail compounds would go vertical instead of sprawling across the land. Similar to underground garages and skyscrapers. Who needs to visit dozens of buildings. Put plants on the facia and roof
I've always wondered why if they don't want to knock down the abandoned ones or turn them in to shelters for people without homes why they don't turn them into urban gardens?
Like the native flora, you are also a national treasure, sir!
Watching this on a snowy day on the high plains of eastern New Mexico
Alaska here whadda up
NC here wazzup
Detroit here, watz up?
Watching from Central n.m. by the rio
outside of santa fe up in the forest. wazup?
fancy ass intro looking like lil' Attenborough
I was thinking the exact same thing lol
I love to see the admiration of the nature in and around beautiful RGV, lived there and southway's in Reynosa all my life and I love to look into the small pockets of nature (rather big outside of where I lived) in the Pharr/McAllen/Hidalgo area. Keep up the great work man!
Who’s filming the intro? Did you teach the dog how to hold the camera?
Probably a lot more worth the time than teaching them to roll over.
I’d watch Jack’s doggie camera until it made me motion sick! Lol love those dogs
Just remember that this wealth of knowledge doesn't come from a university degree. This is pure passion for the subject.
Finally, video proof that TX isn't all desert. As a north-eastern Texan, it's good to see.
Also sorry you're in Texas, where everybody talks slow and is about a century behind in most towns.
Nastier than an Italian themed Arby's.
Truer words were never spoken of the Olive Garden.
I wish you were my Siri voice on my phone
hilarious and appropriate!
“Thanks Siri”
“Alright, gofuckyuself”
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Behold!! Sweet Distraction! Thanx, Joey!
I took a walk today in central PA and found chestnuts on the ground miles from the nearest road. Made my day, gfy.
🤣
What? This fellow actually has a face? Where's he been keeping it all this time? Well, good to see you. You deserve some celebrity.
Green Lynx! Nice
I cannot wait to try to visit some of the places you showcase. You fill me with the NEED to see things like this
“It slowly makes you wanna die inside” I relate with you! Although I will admit, finding the Whole Food Plant Based Lifestyle (No Oil), has given me hope. I haven’t eaten at any of those crappy places you mentioned in over a year now, and I love it. Once you’ve peaked behind certain curtains, ya just can’t live your life mindlessly anymore, or at least I can’t. Keep doing what your doing man, love it.
Ayy yeah only eating plants, fungi and algae has helped me a lot. But why no oil?
@@markchinguz4401 If you’re curious, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn is in my opinion, the best introduction to Whole Food Plant Based, if you’re skeptical about anything, he’s got an answer, that actually has peer reviewed data to back it all up. But to make it short, processed oils (Olive, grape, canola, etc.) are highly damaging to the Endothelium, the inner most lining of your arteries, which is responsible for the production of NItric Oxide into your blood. The nitric oxide molecules are responsible for keeping your blood flowing smoothly, as oppose to becoming thick. I’m not an expert by any means, but I’m always happy to share this treasure of information with you. Heart Disease is a toothless paper tiger, and it need not exist, and if it does, it need not persist.
Thank you very much for sharing! I have often over passed many of these plants without knowing their beauty. I have many of these plants in my backyard and neighborhood. After watching your videos I will be sure to cherish them.
Your sense of humor is great 😊 from an east coast USA
The sprawl in the RGV is really a pain to see. More every years...
Soon it'll be one big expanse of parking lot from Zapata County to the Gulf...and 90% of the population will absolutely love it.
@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt Bloody sad but true.
As a young adult who was born and raised in the RGV, it's sad to see more and more land, some with wild thicket or old groves, just being literally uprooted for the sake of a national chain found in every other city in the country.
I really appreciate and enjoy the lessons, both of life as we know it, and the botany dissertation. By the way, the Leucophyllum frutescens was a real stunner, in my opinion. Thanks for everything you do for us morons.
Nice one man , your best in a while ! We're on another lockdown here in Ireland , thanks for the diversion and education .
For some reason I pictured you as older and with gray hair. Basically someone my own age (62). Thanks for all the videos, I really enjoy them!
Its nice to learn the scientific names of all the plants i see everyday at home really makes you appreciate it more
McAllen, Texas; Elevation 120'
We're practically at sea level. I ought to know. I live there where the flora and fauna are so nice and unique.
Thanks for coming down! We have some incredible wild flowers and native plants!
In Harlingen we have touch me nots and silver nightshade, as well as sombreros, mesquite trees and various other small wildflowers or wild grasses.
You're more or less correct about the rain. It rains the entire month of September here but also throughout the year.
the stalk bearing a flower or fruit, or the main stalk of an inflorescence, peduncle. now I know that. and how to spell it. thanks CPBBD, you the man out there!
Love your channel!
The night shade plant is so cute
I swear its an out of body experience watching you in 3rd person, when it went back to your normal POV it felt like switching from a cutscene to gameplay.
YES
this guy is to botany what Ask Jeff Williams is to geology. Jeff Williams and "dis guy" should share subscribers.
I feel more encouraged to buy land just to preserve the damn plot
Not a bad idea
I am so happy to find you. I have of the trees, Boraginaceae and Ehretia Anacua at my house in Laredo, Tx. I love both those trees. Boraginacae has aggressive roots, takes all the water from other plants 30 ft. away and is a beautiful shade tree.
I love your work, I am looking for native plants that butterflies use to put in my house. I can't wait to get back out in the Chacon creek, where the Beaver come out in spring and eat the young nopal shoots.
Honestly whenever I forget what the hell this world is for I come watch your videos and it helps me want to die a little less. Gfy and ty ❤️
I can't tell what I love more, the botany or the subtle anticapitalism. Great video, great channel.
Hey, shout out to McAllen, tx I'm glad you finally made it my backyard. Keep up the good work bro
Your work is priceless, your knowledge is astounding. A thousand thanks.
TELL ME YOU'RE GONNA BE THERE MONDAY AFTERNOON!
...You're awesome and I want your autograph and yer insight on my truck's windowsill plants is why. :)
Good luck!
the best ...thanks for sharing
I do absolutely hate suburban sprawl. Those prickly poppy are awesome looking. Ive come to respect spiky plants more these days.
Came for the botany, staid for the eye candy at the beginning. I’m an avid kayaker and love to study aquatic plants. Keep up the Lord’s work. 😘👍
Enjoy you tours a botany. Agree with you. It hurts to see land bulldozed for parking lots.
Ayyyy I’m from McAllen! You’re right about the tacos lol, love the videos man 👍🏻
i love how you started your video. driving around america is a tour of a endlessly repeating depressing stripmall mausoleum gobbling up untold amounts of nature for garbage to make money.
Love the chanel and the love for nature.
Thank you for showing off the beauty of the RIO GRANDE VALLEY
Ahhhh yeah that Prickly Poppy!
Botany has never been more entertaining
Wow I pictured you totally different! Not a bad thing just different than I had pictured you from your voice. Man your knowledge of botany is amazing! I wish I could memorize all those different names. I raise really exotic cacti and I have a hard enough time remembering all their names. Good job brotha!
Great commentary on plants and western civilization. Hopefully, you can find the time to take a tour of San Antonio with its vast suburban sprawl, but interesting natural conditions found on the fringes, and on protected land, or under developed properties. The area transits from the Texas hill country to the coastal plain. The soil there is not homogeneous but has some diversity along with some interesting foliage. The coastal barrier islands could be interesting with the sand dunes like South Padre Island.
I love your knowledge.
Shut up! Fuiuudge! You’re in my sisters neck of the woods great vibes! Sent this over so she could explore.
We maintain 1/3 of our 1 acre in native thorn brush. We have many chachalacas, green jays, and kiskadees because of it. Others should do the same.
Watching from the beautiful north lawndale.
This video was a wonderful gift right off the bat as always
Fungus is the vanguard for reforestation. With its help, I shall druidify the Earth.
Miyazaki was onto something with Nausicca of the Valley of the Wind.
True dope
Lots of monte in the rgv in Edinburg should check that out
You make people Cereus about botany. Thnx
great video fun and informative.
gorgeous cactus
Another great data dump! I have spent a lot of time there years ago and you’re right about the tacos.
ahh, getting bit by mosquitoes in the winter. Definitely do not miss the RGV.
I haven't seen them but im still getting sucked
Love you vids thanks bud
Heyyyyy that’s on Jackson and Jackson, Golden Corral and Starbucks right behind ya
Ayeee, shout out McAllen bruh
I call it “Anywhere U.S.A.”.
A sad manifestation of our contemporary ‘civilization’.
The anthropocene might be the death of us all, especially so many of the marvelous species that inhabit our earth home and enable the very existence of humanity.
I feel the same way you do about development lol Thank you for calling it like it is.
If every find yourself way further up the Rio Grande I would love to the plants of the San Luis Valley in Colorado.
This is the first time I see your face! Didn't expect that (I took a break from your videos) and I really thought you are older! Bro I thought you are like 50 and started doing yt because you thought that you have to do sth with your hobby after all those years... I'm not hating I'm just suprised haha love ya men, Never been to USA really so you are like a guy from exotic place showing me plants I saw as a background too all Discovery programs including Mythbusters. Your channel is gold to me. Your language is sth I didn''t expect in botany channel and it's really what kept me here.
I totally agree about power lines. Some human action does create habitat for some species. Where I live is like 70% old farmland that's gone wild over the last 100+ years, and was regularly burned by the locals before Europeans showed up. There are species that have been helped by human disturbance for a long time, and they often don't do well in thick young forests. Roadsides and power lines are places I find a lot of cool plants I can't find elsewhere. Thanks for the video!
Haha! Always love your content. Still waiting for you to stumble onto some Capsicum sp! Oh! I’ve observed this “protocarnivory” on a few capsicum species as well! Namely C. rhomboideum! Cool stuff!
Always interesting how many relatives of plants I'm familiar with in the midwest. I had no idea the genus Parthenium was so common and weedy elsewhere. Glad to actually see you for once too. The man behind the voice. :)
We are all slowly dying inside. Just glad we have something in common
I wish you were around when i spent a summer in El paso. I asked a park ranger in Friendship park what that tree was and he got defensive and said he wasn't a botanist. Then he yelled at me for picking up and tasting a fallen mesquite bean (stealing food from the squirrels who were ignoring the mesquites and pulling food out of the trash cans).
Pure Gold!
I absolutely love you.
Great new intro style! Love the channel dude!
Nice to have some footage of you speaking in front of the camera for once. :)
As an environmentalist I completely hear you and have the same inner death happening. The more scientific confirmation on this 'disease' of planet earth the more money is poured into destruction - but one gone thing is the "T" word is close to being history. Thank you for your wonderful vlog and honesty.
Very entertaining tour. I’m challenged to remember all those botany terms from college.
Awesomeness!!!
Wow, face reveal. I'm honored.
I first thought you wrote "horrified" like you would have said about my own, homely, owl like visage. But, double take and it was "honored" that you had written all along. Good day friend.
Well he had done an unintentional face reveal on that Chicago news program thaf covered him
@@idoqpobi I mean he also has "ricky - a short film" that him and his buddy on screen for 25 minutes
Yea, he's shown his face on Instagram a bunch too. Not common in da TH-cam vids though
So lovely!
Actively displaying the gained education on the Queen Butterflies. Nice.
Another beauty
Great video, great intro, very interesting. Had no ideo proto carnivory was a thing on passionflower plants.
".......hopefully they'll eat some of the feral cats in the neighborhood." I'm dying here lol.
@@alanhyt79 Of course not silly, cats aren’t able to coherently use a keyboard.
Book recommendation to the fans of this channel: The Ghosts of Evolution, by Connie Barlow. It is about native plants with seed distribution strategies that depended upon megafauna. Quick read, very accessible to non professional botanists.
I have a question where did you grow up, your pattern of speaking reminds me of Brighton Park Chicago area. Its a breath of fresh air and love the Show
"Nastier than an Italian-themed Arby's"
You leave Fazoli's out of this...
Come to Central Texas Joey!
The world may be a putrid port o potty outside a jersey mike's right now but thanks for taking that away from me for 33 mins or so.
This guy is one in ten million.
this is weird. i'm not used to seeing your face.
Must've missed his fake Eucerin ad from a few videos ago
let my man shift his public image
DRY SCRATCHY SCALY SKIN
DON'T BE AN ASHY FUCK
@@PlayMoGame i saw it, and it was hilarious lol. i'm just not used to seeing his face is all.
Learned a lot, thanks 🤠🧠🌵
