- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.พ. 2025
- See a few of the plants that only grow on the 450 million year old calcium carbonate (limestone) rocks in the mountains of Death Valley, California. Learn just what the hell a "Chasmophyte" is (most Chasmophytes are endemic to such a habitat).
In this episode, we feature :
#Euphorbia schizoloba
#Penstemon calcareus
#Diplacus rupicola
#Tetracoccus ilicifolius
#Astragalus panamintensis
Does Janet still got it? Is it easy to sneak into one of her concerts?

That acid I took back in the 70s is finally kicking in.
Noticed the screen warping shit too? Thought I smoked too much
Cliff Ridenour yeah that mountain started breathing for me.
hahaha yup. wonder why is distorting exactly like an acid trip
Cliff Ridenour I belive its the automatic stabilisation of his camera
I think it might be how his camera tries to adjust focus, I've noticed it in a few other videos of his, but this one was the most intense
Like the pepper, you try to drive us away by getting spicier, but it only makes us want you more.

Absolutely! 😍
If I saw a guy with that many tattoos, I wouldn't think "Hey, here's a Janet Jackson fan! He may like flowers, too!"
soberhippie ~ Great observation! 😆
let it be a lesson to ya, some smart guy once said "don't judge a book by its cover"!
That's inflorescense to you bud
If anyone is wondering why the environment in the footage appears to be strangely pulsating, it's a byproduct of automated video footage stabilisation. The stabilisation reduces the shakiness of handheld footage by cropping in slightly and repositioning the field of view to counteract the shake, and it also will dynamically stretch some parts of the image. As a result you sometimes get weird visual artifacts where parts of the video seem to be bulging or contracting in size. It looks a little trippy but it's better than the camera shaking all over the place (which is inevitable with footage shot on a phone camera or DSLR).
@Brenda Singer your shrooms were so good I thought that I too was on them.
No, Death Valley is actually like this, always in motion, just waiting to swallow people up in sinkholes etc
I didn’t even notice , but I did a lot of shit back in the day.
Thanks for the explanation! It was doing my head in, but not enough to stop the video.
Thanks, good explanation. I was assuming that was going on but it was pretty unnerving. I had to look at my hands for a second to calibrate.
Thank you. Therapy for the quarantined.💚🌱🌿🍃☘️
You are like cardio for my mental health,
Beautiful views.
Your misanthropy, depths of knowledge and accentitude really brightens my quarantine. Thank you!!
Coyotes use scat to mark territories. Placement of scats is deliberate and often found in well-frequented locations like the confluence of trails, or saddles between summits.
I do the same.
Honda prelude songs from a limestone peak while looking at snow and flowers that grow in crack.
Gneiss.
Especially the intubation memories.
Thanks for another great video.
Only a charismatic guy like you would convince me that plants are cool. Plant hater to an aspiring plant nut. Keep doing what you're doing, you are making a difference
"Maybe start sleeping on cardboard"
I think quite a few americans are way ahead of you on that sadly.
I might be come may!
I'd rather sleep on cardboard in America than in a mud hut in Africa lol
If you actually do read comments, I hope you read this one. I don't much care how many followers you have but I do find your videos very educational and useful, as well as entertaining. I sometimes share them with my 76 year old dad because, like me, he's very curious about botany and geology and whatnot. He studied philosophy and became a schoolteacher and I studied mathematics, so we're both a bit on the abstract side of thinking and I, for one, find someone who speaks coherently about science to be very refreshing. I'm not a child nor am I uneducated, but I don't know crap about botany and I really like the way you describe your surroundings, it's very similar to how my father and me always chat when we go hiking and whatnot. I live in teh SOuthwest, I've been to South America (including the tacama which you covered recently) and I enjoy learning new things about places, so please keep it up regardless of followers or asshole comments.
wish i could live my truth as authentically as this dude
Nothing is stopping you.
Thanks for the views and knowledge Joey! Much love as always
I worked here for the winter after the hottest recorded temping summer. I love Death Valley. So cool. I know its extremely normie, but the flowers that come up during spring time are amazing. If the rain is good enough, the whole place changes.
Thank you brother.....
Why does my mind go there ? I don’t know . But I’m sure glad you’re there to go with me .👍
That Penstemon is very nice. Very pretty' Iv'e never seen that. Thank you for your videos. Stay safe and stay you.
What does it say about my life right now that this man's voice, which would become rather grating after a short while, is now my best greatest stress relief? I have even been time stamping the most obnoxious thing he says, "look a dat!," so I can hear it over and over again because now I find it soothing.
I really enjoy watching your videos and especially hearing you talk
I appreciate the extra editing effort to get a song stuck in our heads.
My mental playback button has been stuck for a week ZZ Top - La Grange 🙄
Keep em coming...new uploads help battle the solitude and loneliness. Thank you my TH-cam Friend
More singing please 😆
Watching from Dorset, UK, we have beaches, woodlands and heathlands that no one is allowed to visit because of the lockdown so I can only hope the wildlife is having the time of their lives!
Claire SewCreative I made it from Somerset to Savernake forest last weekend!
this is the perfect way to start the morning, thank you!
Went for a walk over the footprint of a demolished mall here in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Wasn't expecting any new growth this early but in a small mountain of asphalt tailings about a dozen coltsfoot blooms had poked through. (Tussilago farfara )
Good for sore throuts too coltsfoot.
Coltsfoot is awesome, first flower to poke out in spring here.
@@forestofheavy Same here.
@@forestofheavy SAme here in the uk, lots near me.It thrives on old mine tailings even.
There's actually whole ecosystems types that are based around "waste spaces". Wasteland ecosystems are super important. Seems like they study them more in the UK and Europe than over here.
You are a treasure. Keep this shit up. Your highlighting and educating on all the truly fascinating beauty that's easily overlooked really helps my mood and mental state
Love the geology and botany mix, so rare to get channels with this sort of content, great stuff. Would be nice to see some fossils in that limestone, I can see a lattice of striations, is that freeze-thaw action or some mineral or fossil ?
Those little crack rock flowers are gorgeous! Glad you made it back to post your video and you did not break your ass!
Mimulus rupicola is another favorite of mine. It grows pretty well in my rock garden here in the desert of Idaho.
it took 15 seconds to convince me to subscribe
dude is like the archetypical cool teacher that everyone liked
Totally appreciate your knowledge. Grateful that you share...if you’re ever out East, check out the pine barrens in jersey!
So good to hear your voice again! I'm glad you are social distancing and teaching us at the same time! Question: do the flowers that grow in cracks spread via the roots like strawberries do?
Those chasmophytes are really cool. Interesting to see some of the unlikely paths life takes.
I am so glad to be a member of the five percent of the population that are disagreeable givers. Not misanthropes.
Awesome tripping around with you...thanks so much!
Only inna cracks inna rocks. Another great t-shirt saying. If you sell the parrot far nalia you could afford the Janet tickets.
Well done and a nice break from this lock down. Cheers from Chelsea, Michigan.
I made the mistake of reading about POTUS’ press conference and was starting to loose it. Saw this video from one of my favorite places on Earth and it totally perked me up. Thanks, botany dude!
Thank you ...great view beautiful...
Oh man I've done some hiking in Death Valley for geology projects and that limestone just EAT SHOES FOR BREAKFAST. Really rough elephant skin weathering. Love it out there. Really beautiful scenery.
63 years ago I was born in death valley. Thank you for an amazing trip. Stay solo
That liquid screen effect is like taking the red pill--vertigo on the sketchy talus!
stunning plants, stunning views.
Thanks again Tony.
The stabilization effects of the camera remind me of the visuals I’ve experienced after carefully studying Psilocybe semilanceata or Lophophora williamsii. They’re not producing any deep, internal self-reflection though.
eat more.....
I thought I was finally losing it, so thanks for pointing it out. We're not crazy if we're all crazy in the same way!
Such depth! Such beauty! Thx:)
Alex Shine I like the penis envy mushrooms going around. I think they may be a hybrid ? Idk I just eat em.
Reminds me of when I ate 24" of Peruvian Torch. Mescaline is truly an amazing compound.
good morning sir ...do be safe...thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for continuing to make videos . lifesaver
Thanks for Janet!! Sets a great tone for my day!! 😘❤️🙏
How does it do dat?!?! I'M SO ANGRY AND IGNORANT! My favorite running gag 😄
Men; have you ever noticed that wizzing in nature, attracts the local hummingbirds? They must be impressed.
Subscribed ...This is better than Netflix ,very entertaining thank you sir
My goodness young man you have some absolute beautiful gorgeous views
I could just imagine what Thomas Heaton could do to some of that photographic opportunities out the wazoo with you and your friends
I already have his 2020 calendar
Uploaded 54 seconds ago. Man, I'm always late.
Amazing shots of the 45 degree uplifting of the mountains.
Worldwide pandemic going on, he goes to death valley.
This man is a gd genius. Someone send him some money I would but I'm broke all the time.
He'd be there anyway =]
In about 2-3 weeks you can send him a case of frozen burritos and some freeze dried coffee with that stimulous check. (Don't forget to hoard some tp first though.)
Love your in DV that is my favorite place on the planet. Its amazing how diverse the plants are just based on elevation. If your ever back there again, great hike up through "Suprise Canyon"
I hope you make it through the pandemic, because of you I get to see amazing places I would probably never go, when I go walking in the outdoors I like forests sunshine murders me I like the shade.
Does anyone else who watches these videos walk in nature and pretend to know stuff about Botany with this guys voice in your head. "Oh here we got a beautiful Cheriscus Calpernace. Look at those stamendrons peaking out in this acidic soil. And here we have a classic example of striated dimporphism in Weepingus Willowracea. Classic example of species differentiation over millions of years"
I like how you always say "You like that?" hahahaha
Love to hear the historical perspective on the substrate!
DUDE: how do you keep putting new stuff in my head (which I live for - learning registers as a tickle for me) and still manage to make me laugh several times per dose? Is this natural for you? Flippin' great as per usual, though. Please keep "driving [me] away." I wish you were a teacher/professor that I had.
I saw Janet Jackson at the LA Forum in 1990. Nosebleed city. 40 bucks. Great show
Tear-pants? That's a new one on me, so I guess I did learn something today. Love those little crevice flowers. I'd sing to them too. Stay healthy, dude.
Thanks Joey for these vids in the desert. Am kind of stuck at home and fighting the homicidal thoughts :) However, next week I get to start tearing down a house so that ought to make me feel better. Keep up the good work.
Wonderful limestone
Thank You for Service. Keeping me from the bad shtuff that I think of humanity in general..Sanity is good.
Out in the Mojave a coyote keeps taking a dump at my camp spot. Please do more geology Maybe come to the Kingston range? It's the gnarliest mountain with all kinds of plants! And ticks!
So beautiful up there
I want to see the fuzzy ferns, hopefully we can get a close look at them
As a Synapsid I want to thank you for the shout out
4:51 Went hunting in New Mexico & out of no where we would get super strong marijuana smell HAD to of been that...! your an anomaly tremendous keep up the hard work
Your great and i enjoy your cadence.
2:00 Cambrian life: also lots of stromatolites
Very informative and funny, thank you!
When I think of lime stone Bebe. Please check out Crown of Thorns in Verde Valley Az. Grows only in Line Stone.
00:00:23 the shiny stuff is clays and other sediments that got cooked into micas. And in the past those clays were probably feldspars that got chemically weathered. And before that only god knows
Thank you.
You make my day. Thanks
WOW...the video distortion makes me feel like you fed me mushrooms
I really love our edaphic endemic on limestone talus soils, Trillium nivale, it is blooming now in Ohio.
Shouldn't there be some Holmgrenanthe petrophila around that area?
I'm following your vids. From a respectable distance. I'm staying in MA. But your covering some nice grounds.🌏🖖
Just read about penstemons in the wildflowers golden guide! Don't think I've seen any in AL but that doesn't mean they're not out there
I am a bit stiff but your content is golden and very informative
Would love a video covering the Flora that only grows on the tepuis of Venezuela
Thanks for risking your arse for us again, stay healthy Brother.
Thank You! :)
Joey could that limestone be dolomite with magnesium replacing some of the calcium? Dolomites are often grey or even pink. Just a thought. That Diplacus is awesome but holy shit the Chylismia is the standout! What a wild adaptation to the chasmophyte lifestyle!
👍wonderful job congratulações 💚💛💚💛💚👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
xxxChasmophytesxxx man that brings me back to the AIM days
I love this guy's videos
Have you done any botanizing in British Columbia? I imagine you'd like the Great Bear rainforest but there's also some really nice sagebrush and a little bit of Quercus garryana savannah where I'm at in Victoria.
You mentioned recently how you're not too into insects anymore. I was scavenging from a pile of wood on some private property yesterday and found a beautiful Maevia inclemens, a jumping spider, which hung out with me for a few minutes. There were multiple types of wood in this pile too and I couldn't help but wonder what species of trees someone had chopped down and dumped in a pile to rot. Some of it was pretty fresh stuff. Some real woody vine type plant as well, gunna make for some good firewood that I didn't have to buy at a grocery store or Home Depot.
Yess... Though not loyal to Miss Jackson, wee me jammed & jammed some more to my Rhythm Nation cassette.
Howdy to the giant, indomitable thumper ~4:35, 4:45.
Thanks always!
It's so strange to see such a dry climate. It's like you're on the moon. I grew up running around in the woods and swampy areas in the Southeastern United States. How my friends and I didn't get bit by water moccasins and alligator snapping turtles on a daily basis I'll never know.
Thank you thank you thank you. Love you videos buddy. Be careful out there lol.
I was out there maybe a week ago.
You make me want to go out into nature and point at things
Intelligent smart ass, Why wouldn't I subscribe? Good video and I'm now a subscriber.
I'm down for sneaking into the post pandemic Janet Jackson concert! 9
Actually making waffles in our yuppie upright waffle maker. Bought by the ex-mom-in-law. Hope your enjoying your camping, thanks for sharing!
