The Tiniest Little Cactus In Texas b/w Misdemeanor Brunch

- You ever seen a cactus this small? Here's Echinocereus davisii and Escobaria minima - both are very tiny species growing on the #novaculite soils of West Texas, hiding beneath a layer of Selaginella ( aka spike "moss") in windy, dry West Texas.
Novaculite is a very "clean" and smooth form of chert derived from ancient, biogenic silica originally deposited in the form of muddy sediments in an ancient ocean. These sediments were mostly composed of the silica-rich sponges and single-celled organisms called radiolaria (one of my first hand tattoos, years ago). Ocean sponges produce spiny projections composed of silica called spicules as a form of defense from things that want to eat them. When the sponges and radiolarians die and settle on the ocean floor, the silica accumulates into an ooze which eventually gets lithified (compressed into a rock with the aid of lots of pressure).
The novaculite that's produced from the lithification of this silica-rich sediment almost resembles a very smooth, beautiful concoidally-fracturing porcelain, and it occurs in bands visible from the satellite photos. On the adjacent beds of metamorphosed limestone, Echinocereus davisii does not occur.
Other species here were Yucca torreyi, Selaginella sp. (no idea which one - the genus is epically cool but notoriously hard), Paronychia wilkinsonii, Escobaria minima (another tiny cactus), and Tetraneuris scaposa.
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.

Another windy day in West Texas. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
If i saw a guy with tattoo screaming and looking at the ground I would say that Crime pays but Botany doesn't. I would just leave him alone.
You could give him a sour cream and lettuce burrito at least
I would have to go see what awesome plants he is yelling at.
I got kicked out of Home Depot for getting trapped inside of a cabinet when playing a prank on my boyfriend
I was 28
Yeah, they were all over that shit, but just try to find an employee when you need help finding something...[ crickets ]
Should have told them you needed to go- in a hurry.
😂😂👍
I try to get away but he pulls me back in with promises of tiny cacti. I give up, teach me, sensei ! LOL
And these are specially tiny 🥺
One of us
I was 86ed from a cow field in Florida while picking psilocybe cubensis. The rancher came down the hill with a golf cart and a shotgun. He yelled some shit and I took of running to the fence. While climbing the barbed wire, he shot me in the legs with rock salt.
I'm glad it wasn't a bullet!!!
Glad you hadn’t been picking and grazing munchin on some little ones because that what have been a oopsie
jesus thats brutal
That's Florida alright.
Holy hell any chance it was in Riverview Florida? Same happened to me
Imagine a little insect or something living inside one of those little Escobaria, feeling so safe and snuggly and such.
I was kicked out of the Financial Services industry for taking a stand against scumbags, and thieves.
Hilarious.
Don't got any good 86'd story, but I grew up in paleontology/geology with 20+ year career, and left that to learn botany and all natural history I can get my hands on. Your one of my first teachers.
I hope you never stop putting so much effort into your words
I know right!
I got banned from my highschool because I walked/broke in during the summer while I was still super amped up from mushrooms and then worked out in the weightlifting room for a couple hours and then loaded up my car with a full weight set (bar, plates, etc) so I could go home and continue to work out and then bring back on Monday. According to the police, that was not borrowing, that's theft.
For inexperienced hallucinogen users: please have a sober sitter to tell you your great ideas are terrible.
WAIT A MINUTE can you please actually make a show called "Look At This Fuckin' Guy" because I would watch the absolute shit out of that
Im starting to see plants I didn't even recognize as individual beings up till now.
You literally expanded my perception and its cool as all hell.
Im gonna go and learn how to differentiate plants now.
🍻
When I was about 18 or so, a couple of buddies bought us some bottles of cheap wine and went to the movies. Everything was fine until one of us dropped the bottle while “refilling” it, and you could hear it clink on every seat as it rolled to the front of the theater, sloshing piss everywhere.
We were very quickly invited to leave and never return.
😂😂😂
Got tossed outta the worst tit bar within a 5 hr radius of my house. Got tossed for a fake ID... it was actually real. Best part was, were the only 5 people in there and the girls were NOT happy about losing their only clientel
I got thrown out of the desert road for trying to look for newly founded ant queens. to quote the cop. "I don't care what type of ant it is, you can't be here on the side of the road"
Where's your ant inspection loisence sir? Fraid you're gonna have to bug off.
LMAO maybe he would tell you why he's so small if a giant wasn't hollering questions at him and waving a phone at him 😂😂 unbelievably dainty, fantastic nature. Thank you for sharing!
Rural areas full of people eager to call the cops is another reason to advocate for getting them internet. Lets have them scrolling on YT endlessly while inside with the rest of us already so they won't bother! 🤗💜
I think thats the problem, we aren't naturally that paranoid its fed to people
!
@@bigelwest3623 'Spose it can work that way.
Let's get glass half full here. It's likely that access to internet would be a positive door to walk through.
Internet= the opportunity to be exposed to/gain understanding/increase knowledge base with the globe/share with others--instead of the remaining in small geographical boundaries where opportunities may be limited. #AccessForAll
Jack and Louie must just think Joey's mad screaming to himself at the ground.
A huge famous spaghetti restaurant was closing down in my home town [Brisbane], and they stupidly decided to have a rave party to celebrate. People went nuts wrecking the joint. At some point one guy came running into a room we were in, grabbed the fire hydrant and tried to spray his friend. He couldn't get it to work though he had opened the base tap, so he dropped it and ran off. Despite my friends telling me to leave it, I went it turn it off and put the hose back. Of course, at that moment a security prick walked into the room...
Got 86’ed from a Chinese restaurant when my Chinese-speaking white friend (who wasn’t eating with my group, he just happened to be there at the same time) showed up drunk as hell and thought it would be funny to start loudly cussing us out in Chinese. The waiters heard, took photos of us and told us to leave and that we weren’t allowed back. My friend that yelled at us ran away before the waiter came so he didn’t get kicked out, and hilariously he didn’t even remember yelling at us when we asked him about it the next day
Lmao what an asshole move!
I don’t understand this channel but I glad I found it
Keep watching - it starts to make sense. Then you'll catch yourself speaking like a botonist!
@You are correct But yup
Great Video once again, and got kicked out of the local college watering hole for pissing on some guy who was trying to fight me. Im not sure which happened first tho.
Railroad Blues?... Been there. But the local girls were very welcoming.......
We were escorted out of a South side Irish party because we used the bathroom.
Apparently peeing inside was reserved for a lucky few.
I have been thrown off a few properties with a shotgun... but most recent I got thrown out of the blue man group show for making out with my girlfriend 5 mins before the end of the show. I'm in san jose looking at trees and decided to tune in today.
@@jol3886 💀
That’s how one distinguishes Lace Curtain Irish from Shanty Irish: whether or not they removes the dishes from the sink before they have a pee.
I got 86'd from a bar in Oakland when, while highly intoxicated, I ripped the lock off a piano and started playing it. I tried denying I ripped the lock off but the guy said he was watching me the whole time. After leaving the bar I found a phone book on the ground, across the street from the bar, I looked at it and then tossed it without looking and it went through a large plate glass window belonging to a business, at which point I got the hell outta there.
I was 86 from The Redwood Room during happy hour with my wife for....Inappropriate vulgar laughter.
The year was 1987 in San Francisco! ...and it was on St Paddys day.
Another educational & highly entertaining video.
Tanks loads.
Beautiful! Wow. So tiny... "She's talking to dwarfs." 😂
She might have been. #CharlieMoonNovels unless he means the space elf people on DMT see.
"You can have events with people that are less than optimal, of course." That's the sorta thing that keeps bringing me back. lol.
I'm finding myself admiring the rocks as well as the cacti and other plants
I was permanently kicked out of the Dominick’s in Elmhurst, Illinois for stealing fried chicken on my high school lunch break. The cops thought I was stoned but I wasn’t, I was just sober stealing
seeing these flower seriously made my day !!! keep up finding these cryptic cacti 🌵🙏
I got thrown out of a game store for bringing my own beer to a magic the gathering tournament. It was fun
That's great I got kicked out for some herbal smoke tubes that were in my deck box.
I love you for these videos, please keep making them. You have made the last 4 years of my dealing with complications due to breaking my leg, so much easier since I can not get out until things get completely resolved. *** Your request, kicked out of a restaurant for starting a food fight with the people at my table. Apparently the guacamole glob overshot its target and landed on someone else and a table four tables away. NOTE - If in Sonoma proper, do yourself a solid and go to eat at El Molino Central Restaurant. Excellent food. Safe Travels
Bears started pawing my truck windows last elk season. They 86d me. It was half scary and half funny.
I got 86'd from catechism class because the nuns found out I was also going to a protestant Sunday school. I was 8.
Heretic!
@@swayback7375 Heathen or idolator depending on which side of the family you asked.
86'ed from my uncles apartment complex. Somebody near the building was putting Alka-Seltzer in bird food. I was watching birds fall from the sky and seize. I thought it was our building doing it so, I walked a dead bird into the office and screamed at the lady that she was killing the birds. She was talking to new tenants at the time. lol my poor uncle had no idea what he was in for trying to help me. He loves me for it now but that sweet man really put up with some sht..
I got kicked out of a hotel pool I was skinny dipping in. Peer pressure by a stupid f, 'stick to the lakes and streams that you're use to.' Kicked out a my favorite rave for pausing on the floor stage too much... good times! Louie blends so well in this area's color scheme!
I love your "rants" I learn a lot and I'm entertained at the same time :^)
I'm still scared of cloned deer. Those tiny little plants are so cute!
Thanks from my quarantined apartment in hell. Stay safe & have fun.
Came for the Woke Grocery Store video, stayed for the nature content 😌
Ditto!
I got 86'd at a bar after vomiting into a sink and subsequently trying to pool the vomit in my hands and move it to a toilet. Not my proudest moment
😂😂😂
Went to Roller Derby in Indinapolis. Front row seats! Threatened with 86 for.........wait for it.......being "rowdy". Only in Naptown in 1972. We were cheering for our hometown team for christ's sake!
Bein’ ‘rowdy’. At the Roller Derby. What. Da. FUCK.
The Desert is so freaking beautiful! 😍
I've never gotten tossed out.
Have I not truly lived?😳🤔
Two things everyone should do. Get kicked out of an uppity establishment and live where you are not the top predator. One of the two is humbling and the other is a badge of honor.
Just read these other tales folks are typing, sounds like a few of them been doin dove livin!
I got kicked out of a bar in Sydney Australia around 2001 for "inappropriate public behaviour" with my girlfriend.
Ecstasy was a hell of a good time back then! 😅👍
must've been your first time, getting kicked out in sydney is a fun time hah
someone likes subbies it appears :D
@@sats_nak Sublime @ home was fun but this was my DJ name long before I moved to Australia in the mid nineties. "Subliminal Vibes" from the subwoofer (you can feel it more than you can hear it), more than "Sublime Vibes" which I'm sure are fun too. I preferred Gas Nightclub near Central anyway and I mainly went to international guest DJ gigs rather than "go clubbing every weekend". SweetChilli🌶️ (Progreasive Tech-house) moved venues a lot but their night's were always good fun.
Good good times back then. Long before dirty Meth was a problem. 😔
@@subliminalvibes we likely met in person at some point. Small world.
I got too close to a recently burning area in the forest and was sternly advised to get the hell out of there by the Forest Service.
God I need this stuff. In the world we live in this keeps me sane. GFYB
Got thrown out of a pawn shop for unknowingly trash talking the proprietor's daughter. The guy gave me a chance to walk out on my own feet though so kudos to him. I was also 3hit faced drunk, I was a stupid, stupid kid back then. Thank God I was lucky enough to grow out of it. somewhat.
Stayed in Brewster county for three weeks on a geology trip. Such a beautiful place. The only geographic area that has tectonics related to east coast AND west coast accretionary events 👍
I was 86'd from the Filmore SF during a Modest Mouse show. I was sober, but recovering from too much psilocybin the previous night. I've never had a positive experience attending two nights in in a row at the Filmore.
I gave the door guys a piece of my mind when they questioned my sobriety, and they didn't like that. Meat head rent-a-thugs don't like when you laugh in their face and tell them they "chose an interesting career."
Not sure what it says about my current mental state, but I was laughing my ass off when you were talking about impalement by Yucca.
The year was 1968 when Sister Joan Marie 86'ed me, the golden boy, from the classroom once for fooling around and not paying attention, I was in second grade. The Nuns at Saint Joe's, holy moly, they did not suffer fools gladly, I kid you not.. she wore the full black and white habit, all the nuns did, but you know, the nuns taught me how to shoot a basketball and how to hit a baseball. One day Sister Joan Marie caught in the hall and hugged me and pulled up on her lap.. I realized many years later under that tough looking black and white uniform of Jesus was a soft beautiful woman... I wonder how she's doing today.. Great show Tony, keep up the good work, you matter.
Got kicked out of my logging job because voices in my CB were quoting captain beefheart in a soft tone. Black bean burrito with a shiner bock
In the late 80s, Brewster Co was the hotbed of horticultural material. The owners of a large ranch in the Marfa/Marathon area was tearing out tons of the native vegetation, and someone got the idea to sell the plants to retail nurseries. The result was them providing large yucca and to nurseries all over the US - including my employer in Virginia. The vast majority of these plants ultimately perished in areas with unsuitable conditions - mostly too wet.
We lost many large plants in the Nusery due to being under irrigation - it was all new to us.
In addition to the Y. torreyi featured here, they also supplied Y. carnerosana and what I believed to be Agave scabra. They were not horticulture oriented and could not give or verify botanical names.
The most outstanding contribution to come from this company must be Yucca rostrata - the Queen of Yuccas. Y. rostrata proved to be the most adaptable and winter hardy. This yucca and it’s varieties can now be found across the US and Europe. It is considered hardy to USDA zone 6 and is growing in a protected area at the Denver Botanical Garden.
Two years ago, a hurricane took down a 20ft 4 headed specimen that I planted in my parents Virginia yard in 1989. I have two specimens in my Seattle area landscape these days.
In addition to the big stuff, you could also get Resurrection Fern - Selaginella lepidophylla?, which I believe is the one that you featured in this video. I’m sure they scraped a ton of them off the desert floor.
After a few years I heard no more of the ranch, and I can only assumed they stripped their real estate of everything they could sell
Your a funny guy! Smart too! I just found you and subbed you. I also love cactus.I have pretty many. Hi from Wisconsin!😎🌵👌
12-13 years ago, going to an Amy Winehouse show with tenish people, I'm the last one of our group to get in the door. We've all been pregaming to the same degree, and we even made it past security--and then out of nowhere I feel a hand on my shoulder, yanking me right back and out the front door. Let me just restate that we were there to see AMY WINEHOUSE...
Love the Big Bend Area. Spent a year there in 1998 and the people I met there are still good friends
This is basically what I do when I'm out kicking around, except I focus more on the geology and archaeology. You should come up to the Bighorns of Wyoming sometime. Early July would be best for mountain plants. We have world class geology, archaeology, paleontology, and some darn cool alpine plant communities. We also have too many metastatic locals spreading the cancer on ATV's, but that's just the way it is.
My 86-ed story... getting cited for trespassing at the Lindenmeier Folsom site in Ft. Collins, CO, and asked to leave by Ranger Irwin.
Thank you! Once again I'm filled up by the goodness of your attention to detail, observations and humanity.
Was told to hide in a closet when the Latvian president was visiting because I was wearing sandals and apparently that’s too casual for the president 😂😂
The only place I can remember (remember being the operative word) was Graceland for climbing up on something in the garden to look into the windows before they opened the house to the public. Long Live Elvis!
As a senior in high school, I worked at a Pioneer League baseball stadium picking up the trash in the stands after a game. While picking up trash one day, I noticed my boss chugging beers from a club booth, open beers from the night before. Gross, right? She locked eyes with me. I kept working, but an hour or two later I got 86'd because she informed the club that I was stealing stuff from the stadium. Who are they going to believe, the visibly drunk adult or a hapless introverted teenager? They chose the adult. 25 years of laughing about it, so I guess that it was worth it. I hope she found help.
Me (and my bus) got kicked out of Vancouver BC after I’d lived on Kits Beach for six months. Nobody’s ever gotten to live on Kits beach again - it went all yuppie and then some.
The novaculite looks beautiful. Thanks for the videos, it's a great relief right now.
Its been awhile since I have mention here how much I truly appreciate your channel, its great as for being 86ed from some joint it happened about 35 years ago at some run down hipster bar for being a drunken slob
I got kicked out of a bar in Kentucky for slamming a lot lizard's face into a pool table after she bit my then-hubby on the neck.
Yeeee haw
What...???!!! The...literal...fuck?
A girl after me own heart. Cheers!!
There is a remote lake in Canada just on private land called Rush Lake. Absolutely full of leeches and a few rainbow trout, we went out to fish there and the farmer shot at us with rock salt
"an actual piece of rabbit shit" amazing 😂💀
Here's my 86'd story, I remember getting drunk at a park playing basketball, decided to hit up the bar after and see that it's trivia night. The bar started playing trivia and I proceeded to yell out ever answer and got 86'd for ruining the ambiance 10 minuets later.
I'm a street though but also a nerd for plants, this guy speaks my language
You have to be the most interesting guy in the planet. Gotta get a beer with this guy
El Faro on Archer avenue there has good burritos in Summit. Open 24/7. They’ll make tacos if you don’t want the burrito but the steak burrito is good. Especially after haunting the nearby forest preserves in the middle of the night. GFYB
I got absolutely hammered at a college bar in Bloomington, IL and was "escorted" out by the bouncer
We use to go to Bloomington to pick up truck loads of worm castings (Worms Way, I wanna say), to mix in soil for growing.
5:17 I would immediately get excited cause I would know i was running into Joey Santore in the wild
My daughter & I got kicked out of a smallish music venue in Atlanta because she took a sip of my drink. She was almost legal. The show was Skid Row & they hadn't even hit the stage. Sadly, the bouncer was unimpressed with our offer of mother/daughter favors to let us stay. Missed a damn fine show!
Got escorted toward the exit at Red Rocks for allegedly pissing behind a boulder. I escaped the usher and enjoyed the show from a new seat :)
Lol, love the way you say siliceous. We have some incredible chert, here on the Southern Oregon Coast. Cheers, Joey. Great videos.
Your Australian cattle dogs are so precious! I had one as a kid. They’re such a great breed. Energetic, smart as hell, and fairly self sufficient. My border collie I have now might as well register me as her emotional support human.
your dogs blend in with the rocks rather well :)
In 1967, I was told to leave an NCO Mess in Ft Bragg, NC because it was after 7:00 PM and I was wearing sneakers.
They were still kicking people out of NCO clubs in the 1990s. I went with a friend for lunch and we got kicked out because she was wearing shorts. It was Okinawa. It was summer. They also kicked people out of the commissary for wearing flip flops.
Went to see Waiting for Godot, got kicked out for not wearing shoes.
Lmao got kicked out of my moms house for getting a red heeler for myself for Christmas. I came back and she loves the dog. But that was fun.
My girls really enjoyed the word flavidispinus. Lots of laughs! Thanks for all your content man!
Beautiful. Love your videos.
Fantastic!
Got permanently 86’d from Rutgers U Agricultural Farm for wandering around and talking to the cows at night while tripping on acid.
They are so CUTE!!! I love how tiny they are. I got thrown out of a bass pro shops over shoplifting when I was a dumb kid.
🤘👏
If one of me highly intelligent canines was acting like that one...sitting quietly staring off in the distance, sniffing the air, I'd get the hell out of there. Maybe he picked up the scent of a mountain lion in the distance.
I really never thought of mimicry and camoflauge outside the Animal kingdom, until I vicariously met you online. THX for real, Joey or Tony or what the shit?? Also I fell in love with your dogs!
love the channel
Thanks again boss
Thanks for these eye opening vids
86’d from University of Alabama Natural History Museum. Seventh grade. Too exuberant over an exhibit. Church lady said out!!
Perfect. Dinner time 👍
So when I was a teenager I was riding around Meijers on those motorized carts, goofing around with my homie, being obnoxious and battling with foam swords, when this worker, who I swear looked exactly like Mr. Clean 86'ed us out of the place!
Another excellent video my loud mouth botanist friend
Beautiful areas that you get to show us thank you
Don't forget my leathery friend if you spend too much time without hydration you become even more of a crocodile
Toad, Shmoe, Jr, and I went to a NOFX show at the House of Blues in Chicago. Toad and Jr both got kicked out for smoking in the bathroom. Neither of them smoke. Shmoe has never and Toad quit shortly after I did. After the show, Jr ghosted off into chicago and we had to leave back to spring valley without him. He claimed he got mugged, but I didn’t buy it.
First video I found odd but i kinda liked so now I start watching all of them and loving it. you so knowledgeable..
I aint got any hot story coming, but here it goes.. once in my 18's I just arrived to the UK to work, decided to go out to a club , in the middle of the night some alcohol in my veins and a clear misery on my mind I just contemplated an ASS... I slap it, thinking it would be a cool idea, and in no time there was a huge guy "WTF!!!" the dancefloor opened the guy punch me once, security comes and kicks me out. I felt so Stupid LOL
Siliceous organisms, not to be confused with salacious ones.
Very drunk hubby and I got thrown out of a bar in Flagstaff, Arizona because he pulled a full-on tree-felling maneuver. "TIMBER!!"
Got kicked out of the local middleschool for skateboarding in their very nice hallways. Got kicked out of a house party at an establishment with marble floors and $3000 designer dogs because I got too intoxicated and struck several guests with a foam bat. Was politely asked to leave a very tasteful wedding on a golf course who had failed to protect their buffet from my advances. I've been a scummy ghoul on many occasions... Anyway, there you have it. I proved I listen to the whole video. You're welcome.
I love this channel
i bet you could gather up every single one of those riceballs in America and still feel hungry. Very tiny 10/10
