Your contributions support this content. It sounds clichéd, but it's true. Whether it's travel expenses, vehicle repair, or medical costs for urushiol poisoning (or rockfalls, beestings, hand slices, toxic sap, etc), your financial support allows this content to continue so the beauty of Earth's flora can be made accessible to the rest of us in the degenerate public. At a time when so much is disappearing beneath the human footprint, CPBBD is willing to do whatever it takes to document these plant species and the ecological communities they are a part of before they're gone for good.

Thanks, GFY. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Always a pleasure to see Al, hope he gets those tix paid off...
Chicago doesn't fuck around- my parents got mailed a ticket and they haven't even been in Illinois in years
@@sam___seed4761 oh yeah. Got in big trouble not paying parking tickets in Chicago over the 4 years I was there.
I really love the dialogue between Editing Tony and Field Tony!!
Funny fact: here in Namaqualand we call the Neuradaceae "Piet Snot" which directly translates to "Pete's Snot" xD. For anyone interested in visiting Namaqualand, the yearly flowering months are between July & August - If the rains were good that year, you will find literal blankets of wild flowers covering the farmlands along the N7 road towards Springbok. You can Google "Namaqualand flowers" and you will get a pretty good idea. Just bring sunscreen :)
This is probably the only utube I watch entirely before switching my attention to the comments to see how other viewers are perceiving the same things that I'm seeing. I don't want to miss anything. Also, I have to rewatch it because it is so sweet and satisfying. Thank you for all of this. I feel so lucky to be able to share this beautiful planet. I could be happy being one of those little rodents living in the rocks.
Seriously I’d be ok with that! Glad to see I’m not the only one. I love this more than anything !
No one ever gives Tony credit for having nicely trimmed fingernails.
I for one appreciate it.
Oh, I've noticed. Nice to know I'm not the only one.
Military school habit perhaps.
Around the time I noticed this I did what a normal person does and looked at a lot of other TH-camr hands. I would say these guys tend to groom their hands nice
I Googled Al Scorch after watching this video and discovered his musical act. Really wasn't expecting old timey music from him but I respect that genre and the guy is legitimately talented. More folks should know.
I love the fact that he read the ad from an alley! I Was born in Chicago, but now I live in the Atlanta area where there are no alleys! Man I sure miss ‘em. Thanks.
I'm really enjoying Tony extra comments. It feels like I'm watching this episode with him. Also an ad I didn't even want to skip. Thanks again for this excellent episode.
it's like a beauty pageant for plants there
99 views, 91 likes. Says it all. Thank you from the UK for your excellent efforts and skills.
Don’t worry the racist grampas will roll in and downvote it
Thank you for this! It is just after 6am here in Alaska. I am up because it is almost -30 out and the house is cold. I am getting the wood stove as hot as I can, then I will snuggle back up in bed. Meanwhile I have you to show me something remarkable I have never seen before. Thank you.
A cameo from Al, an ad for a good cause that wasnt annoying, and extra info and pics. I could get used to this different style once in a while!
Oh shit !
A fresh upload.
Oh shit you got a sponsor too, movin on up!
Moven on up to The Eastside!!!
Anacampseros is an amazing genus. The species I grow in the Bay Area are incredibly tough and have lovely large pink flowers (large relative to the leaves). You can grow them outdoors in a pot all year long and they can take more heat and sun than a lot of cactus. Amazing and so awesome to see them in their natural habitat.
Good shit wiseguy. Thanks for the update.
I'm so pleased my favourite botanist visited my home country. I hope you had a great time Tony, and I hope you'll visit SA again just for the protea flowers!
I think one of the things I love the most about this channel is that it legitimately feels like I’m watching Inter-dimensional Cable, and one of the best programs in the whole freakin’ universe.
the curly guy in the beginning and the aloe-tree are unbelievable .thank u for that pictures!
Love being able to be taken along botanising while I'm sick in bed.
Your work does inspire me brother
Bangers, all.
found your channel and live here in the western cape amazing to see such intrest in the bio diversity here thank you and come around for a spliff
Ad seems pretty nice. Good voice
I just watched a vid where some doofus was telling us how many different sansevieria and other succulents come from “sub Saharan South Africa”.
He isn’t wrong I guess, but I doubt there’s many plants at all that live in the South African Sahara, I doubt anything lives there since it doesn’t exist.
Houseplant growers are not botanists
Seems like it’s a reasonable miscommunication. Given that “South Africa” is the opposite of “North Africa”, and also (inconveniently) the name of a country, it isn’t too crazy of a statement to make.
Sub Saharan Africa is any thing south of the Saharan, which means most of Africa. All of South Africa and all the countries except a band roughly from Mauretania and Morocco to Egypt is sub-Saharan. It's pretty much like saying that Argentina is sub-Canadian America. Or that Guatemala is sub-Canadian North America.
In all fairness youtube is pretty much like full of people telling us their cacti comes from Africa.
@@jonstfrancis Until they were imported sometime in the last five hundred years, no cacti came from Africa. Cacti are native to North and South America. There are huge numbers of succulent plants native to Africa, but none of them are cacti.
@@emmitstewart1921 Yes, that was my point :)
Hello from South Africa!
Damn this shit is interesting and humorous, always look forward to your posts Tony.
Haven't watched the rest of the video yet, but where's the link Al Scorch mentioned? He said "ren"?
Thanks again, as always, for your fucking awesome work on these videos.
Edit: my dumb ass googled "(w)ren carbon footprint" and found it. imagine that.
I have always wanted to go to South Africa for the plants! To think I once got excited when I found the wild equivalent of Huchera in my local off leash field!
@61 Cygni Awww shucks lady, I am an amateur horticulturalist, artist and shit kicker! Lol
Wonderful plants-!
You had me at you pal doing the add! The over dubbing is great also. The GFY’s dropped in are always a fave. Anyways great stuff. Thanks 🧡👊🏻🇨🇦
Looks so rad, we really want to make it out there next year.
Love the direction change with video format. Keep up the good work pal. Thanks for everything you do
I am loving seeing my country through your eyes. Thank you so much, you are great
Finally signed up with your Patreon this week. Such incredible flora & the getting called a fuckface by a non-family member on a Sunday morning renews my spirit!
Right? Connection both to Nature and to the fuckfacedness of humanity. Perfect Sunday.
Strangely and surprisingly enthralling. Thanks, Tony.
Great, thanks Tony
Amazing Dr. Seuss flora down there. Thanks Tony
That guy has a great voice and presence he should start a podcast :)
Truly one of the best channels, thank you for the experience.
Seeing plants i have or are in my list in habitat always makes me really happy.
glad you enjoy yer chi town heritage
Namaqualand Plants rock! and do they ever look so interesting. Good video!!!
Oh man, I thought you where back in Cali, going through the exposed Chico Formation on the back side of the San Gabriels in Southern Cali. It's amazing how similar biomes look in different parts of the world. Not just flora and fauna, but geology too. So many arid/mediterranean places you have gone to in the world remind me of places I've hiked/camped in Cali. I thought convergent evolution is only supposed to happen to species, not geology.
The advertisement in these videos are getting incredible!
I really enjoy watching your videos. I have learned a lot watching you. Keep up the good work man!
i am loving it. living i SA! got agaves too:) did alot of road rehabilitation round here! i really appreciate you looking at our plantjies. keep on luvin ne. francois TreesSA
Ah those desert hyacinth were incredible.
All the amaryllis style plants down there are just… 👨🍳
Come for nerdy botany, but stay for the antics
Those irises are beautiful. Completely different from here in the south east.
I love mean plants. That don't fwm vibe is to be admired
love it...
That piece of white quartz looked so out of place, I would’ve kept that for a souvenir for sure! Cheers
Except, lots of it around there. I’m sure he is going to get into it.
Rock souvenirs around that size get less and less desirable the longer you carry them.
My boyfriend once carried a quartz, that I can't even pick up, down the mountain. Looks great in the yard though.
@@Violet-qf8dr sometimes they’re so nice you’ll torture yourself to get them!
Where there’s quartz there’s gold, I suppose a gold nugget would make a better souvenir😂
Tremendous, educational and entertaining as usual.. Thanks
Congratulations from Sao Paulo
Getting into the succulent karoo. Probably actually already in it. But realy nice seeing some south African plants getting some attention.
I never watch sponsors. Today, I made an exception, and I'm glad I did. Love yall gfy
man these plants are sci-fi crazy cool.
I can't believe how cool these south African plants are
Wanted to see Sarcocaulons, Pelargoniums, and Pachypodium namaquanum. Not enough videos of these magnificent plants.
It's gushing. Nice,
Tanks for da video, we been missin' da vibes.
Magic man! Thanks for doing Namaqualand! Be careful of that beetle... he could be a blister beetle.... if he gets you in the eye , you'll suffer man! I hope you get to a Welwichia!
Oxalis obtusa, nice
Walio... I'm moving 12 hrs from Chicago.. I'll stop by when I gotta visit da Riviera
your filming skills are good. nice video
Congrats on the sponcon 🎉
The fella sweeping Michael Patrick’s garage ought start a channel. I’d watch him mow lawns drinking mickeys 🤷♂️
i can totally tell the convergent evolution between badiana and agave.
Got to experience Chicago via Greyhound today..
What a icy mess..
Man I would a love a crash course in plant morphology from you
Otherworldly 👽
PURE GOLD!
I had no idea gazanias were chicories, but there are the tiny sawteeth on the ends of the petals. Neat!
I want every plant out there, but my small apartment and Wisconsin winter would be a torturous Hell for them (except the rescued amaryllis don’t seem to mind).
Who’s mans is this?
“Beautiful Cynthia!”
And petardo is how you say banger in español. Honestly I’ve never used the word but I like the fact that etymologically it’s got peta in the word which closely resembles petal.
There you have it. I’m in love with this channel.
Oh Tony,……heavenly!
Best ad ever!
Watching Blue Man Group and now this to watch instead ... yay !
is the trilobed leaves of the Calobota a connected trait with the clover plant? since they are both legumes.
thelink to the sponsor site does not work
Wow you finally got a sponsor besides Eucerin, congrats 🎉
Al is dare I say lovely last time I seen him you was talking about hitting the breaks on that toilet 😂
I'm struck by the flower colors. They are sophisticated in a way that reminds me of the designer colors at the paint shop that have extra steps in their formula. Maybe the pollinators, maybe the beetles, have fancy taste in color?
If I had to pick a favorite botanical rich habit, it would have to be this.
Hey Tony, the sponsor links/info from Wren are missing in the description! :)
EXCELLENT EDITING BROOO
I thought it was kind of half-assed but as long as I get the moneyshotz who cares.
Not at all, it is what it is! Now go get some Durban Poison
National treasure.
💚
Adman is da bomb!! Very funny.
Uh oh, the ads are here! ;-)
Grand kontent as ever, sire!
Sup ya Silly Socal Bastids !!!
We Got The Wet Stuffs Finally!!!!!
How can one tell a haemanthus from, say, a brunsvigia, just by looking at the leaves? They seem so similar ...
My brothers name is Michael Patrick too. 🤣
Nice blister beetle on the Euphorb at 20:55.
The beetle is definitely giving Tony a look!
Wonderful plants in this episode! That Lapeirousia and attitudinous Babiana make me drool…
Have you smelled the flowers of the Albuca? Not sure about that one, but lots of them smell like those old wax lips. You may be too young to remember them. :-)
Anyone know what fly that was on the first orange aster?
There's no link in the description for the thing Big Al was talking about. I am disappoint.
Most of us would walk through fire to watch these videos!
But seriously Joey, if people were plants, what would you be??
Please tell me that your next move is toward the north and west to find Welwitschia
You gotta stop and sniff some of those albuca and lachenalia! They smell great.
Looking online I foud four species of the arid African hyacinth and the one you ID is out of stock. Just beautifu. In buld for so it you want to poach it would be fairly easy to do. Fun to check the web and see the very plants you found. Since I live in an arid place, the Sonoran Desert, should be OK. How do you know if these are invasive? Probably not though.
15:49 cmon Tony this is a family show
