i stumbled across his videos and he reminds me of everyone's tight dad on a road trip half an hour in and someone asks to pee, BUT ONLY in urban videos. then its more like a sunday morning hike with your dad after he got into a fight with mom.
It's humble and speaks volumes that you were fully willing to admit that you don't know what the plants are... Yet keep the camera going and allow us to enjoy the beauty. Thank you
@@gramursowanfaborden5820 I agree. The content is great as is. I come here to look at plants with someone who loves plants like I do but has even more exp than I do. It’s one of my favorite ways to relax but learn at the same time!
This is one of my favorite episodes of some asshole lost in the woods. Every beginner botany freak can relate. Brilliant exploration of the flora. How can we learn new plants if first we don't know them?
Honestly, I get the same way in tropical wet forested areas. I'm a botanist in a temperate region, and the plant diversity is so overwhelming in the tropics. I end up getting excited when I figure out just the families of some of that stuff.
This video goes hard!! Nobody expects you to know everything about every plant. You're real in the field, saying what you know and what you don't. This vid gives off a chill and immersive vibe which is needed for such a diverse environment. You're good fam, we love the authenticity!
Regardless of whether you identify the plants or not, the quality of the camera and video is fabulous and the lighting is gorgeous. Always enjoy a new upload. Have you thought about doing a live Q&A with your TH-cam subscribers?
I love seeing you dis-oriented. Just know the families! Best botany advice I've ever received from a friend, ten years ago. Take good photos and figure it out later so you can enjoy the walk!
Lovely, as always! My husband, who is of Italian American descent, gets overly excited when I watch/listen to your videos, and he, not being into botany, drowns out your narrative with his over-the-top Italian American improvisational interpretatation of the shit I'm really trying to hear! But at least he likes you! You're doing great- keeping it interesting!
i love you more than you'll ever know! I randomly mentioned you to some friends recently and one of them gifted me one of your stickers!!! WHAT A SMALL WORLD = STOKED>>>
I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying this series. I lived a couple of years in the DR but more toward the east (Monte Plata). I didn’t get a chance to see all of this...wouldn't even have known enough to look back then. Thank you, and I'm definitely adding you to my Patreon account in gratitude.
As a plant nerd who also knows the common and latin names of the plants i would say that the best part was the bird noises. I was between being relaxed listening to the birds and laughing at your jokes. You kill me man. 😂
@@taliaquinlan8590 Is it because he says fuckin before each one? It's a good teaching strategy. No one is gonna remember what a orchid is. Everyone is gonna remember what a fuckin orchid is. Way to make learning fun! 😂😂😂
I enjoyed that you brought us along without knowing everything you were going to find. And as a non-botanist, I wasn't interested in anything more than the basic ideas, like 'look, here's an orchid'. And for those who were interested, you added many of the names on the screen, so it was all good.
I'd love to just sit in that Fern Forest, listen and watch. If I had a good cold beer while there then more to the experience. Not sleeping well, not eating well (I've tried but you can't make your stomach always to follow protocol), I'm right there with you Brother.
This is more along the lines of what I enjoying hiking in, pretty similar to here in Costa Rica. That hot dry stuff is interesting, but the sun kicks my ass if I'm out there all day.
i have grown orchids for 30 years and this tour is where you gain the best information...to see what "filtered light" actually means...and understory and differences in life...This video is what i try to recreate in my greenhouse
Isn’t that great! I was looking at a winter growing ground orchid, the top side looked a bit sick, which is normal, underside was just brilliant purple! Great plants
You did a perfect job! I'm gonna see that spiky red balls in 2022 runway outfit for sure. I love all the ferns, plants covering trees, the pink ginger I wanted to eat! Looks like a place for gorillas. Eat some barbadensis aloe. Thank you.
so refreshing to hear someone speak like me, thank you for sharing. please keep the island of Hawaii in mind, we got some diversity i like to host and share with you
You should do a city one were you walk around some local parks or drive by some or whatever it would be cool to see you go from city to city showing us what there doing and tell us if there doing more harm then good with what there planting or growing with farms. Let me know what you think please and thank you 😊
@@markchinguz4401 I know I mean like travel say he's in a small town 500 miles away from home if theres plants theres no reason not to do a video on a small backwater town or city and let us know we are helping or killing the area hes at me vegas and we are killing it Idaho ah 50 50 on good and bad water usage
@@markchinguz4401 Yep, the backside of Oakland. I'm sure any town would he honored to be featured like this. Heh. th-cam.com/video/35qF2hEefXg/w-d-xo.html
God dam that bird really does sound like a rusty merry go round, little creepy and horror movie like when that the only thing you hear and everything else is quiet
If anything man I would love to cultivate that Species of pine!!! Pinus occidentales and pines tropicales with is native to Cuba! Seems like no one is interested in cultivate such amazing pine species!😔✊
As I’m watching this episode, I had to turn the volume up to compete with the nerve jangling constancy of noise from the mowing tractor of the building next door, flattening the plot of land next door. What a contrast to what you’re showing us here. I’m going all Zen on you and saying, “Thanks for creating a balance so I don’t spontaneously combust.
Man... Thats crazy, I live in a central part of Brazil, the native vegetation around is called ''Mata Atlantica'' and a lot of the plants that grow here are shown in the video. Dominican Republic is really far away from here, more then 5000km according to google
well there's a t-shirt for ya: "C. domingensis: totally tubular!" thanks for showing us around, what an awesome habitat. how do you find these places/choose where to visit?
Love the bird calls and watching you be overtaken(for once) by all the biodiversity. Wish it would happen more often. This might be a good time to plug my DR inspired coffee FourLOW; recommended to anyone that wants to get down and dirty...
Aww. Too bad you're not an orchid guy!! We have thousands of them, they're so amazing and I think you would enjoy getting to know the plants whose name translates to "testicle"! 😆 The orchid people are just as crazy as the plants we collect!
I know your username is "crime pays but botany doesn't" but would you recommend it as a career path? I recently found your channel in the midst of questioning my career choices and botany seems like a pretty awesome career path.
Easiest thing to answer that question is to Google Botany jobs in your area. But i would assume there is only Nursery jobs, which pays minimum wage. And i also assume you want to get paid more then $15 or so.
I have sent links to your videos to three different people. None of them have replied. The English are so fucking reserved that you have to shake them to make sure the bastards are still alive. Would it kill you to relate once in awhile? I studied with a botanist in NYC who “threw out our fucking seedlings” by accident. Great guy.
The tone gets so gentle and easy going when there isn't a strip mall in view. I get it.

It was a GOOD episode, you saying sometimes “I don’t know what the fucx it is.” Is great for the rest of us, you know....

Extreme Botanizing. When orchids look like ferns, you know my mind is blown.
Regardless of whether you identify the plants or not, the quality of the camera and video is fabulous and the lighting is gorgeous. Always enjoy a new upload. Have you thought about doing a live Q&A with your TH-cam subscribers?
Yeah I'd like to at some point
@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt yeah you could tell us to GFYS in person... prick ❤
This is the kind of content the world needs. 🧡

i love going for walks to clear my head and look at plants. when i dont get to do that i can just watch this channel. i love that.
The color of that lobelia, that hot fuchsia pink, is absolutely stunning!

Sporangia shot at 7:50 DID SOMETHING FOR ME
Ah man, that was beautiful. Thanks for putting the names on your video - it makes it easier to remember when I see it written down.
what a great video, thanks for going though all the trouble and showing us all these wonderful plants many of us will never get to see.
All I can say is absolutely stunning the plant diversity is mind-boggling and you get to show us all the beauty that nature has to offer and then some

Good luck getting a cold beer there. One could pack in a blunt though.
@@katiekane5247, LOL, maybe NASA or someone can come up with a forever cold drink blanket or something. Not much down with the Blunts.
I hope you can at least find a good tree to sit under. Does me a world of good.
Loving these tropical episodes. You should take a trip to the Ecuadorian cloud forests for all of us araceae freaks
FINE tropical field trip!
This is more along the lines of what I enjoying hiking in, pretty similar to here in Costa Rica. That hot dry stuff is interesting, but the sun kicks my ass if I'm out there all day.
I always enjoy your videos! Enjoy listening to you talk, too!
Keep on keeping on! Don’t have to name everything, eye candy is good candy 👍🏼
"Put it in 4-low"
Best advice ever.
Also now my motto
Thank you 🤣
my advice, 4 low never gets you out of trouble, just 50 yards further into it.
i have grown orchids for 30 years and this tour is where you gain the best information...to see what "filtered light" actually means...and understory and differences in life...This video is what i try to recreate in my greenhouse
Some of the most interesting plants I’ve seen you finger
Damn that's some alien looking flora. Like seriously guy, what kind of evolutionary pressure made them look like dat?
I could stand there and listen to those birds all day.
this made my nausea go away for a little bit, thank you. mossy moss is always appreciated
Congrats on 200k! ❤️
In a future video, can you explain if there is a reason why the underside of some leaves are purple or gold? Thanks
Isn’t that great!
I was looking at a winter growing ground orchid, the top side looked a bit sick, which is normal, underside was just brilliant purple!
Great plants

Absolutely fascinating. Thank you very much. More orchids please.
Our favorite botanist has a case of diversititis.
Nice
Yeah! It's the 'Cloud Forest Epiphytic Attic'!
4:10 I was definitely waiting for you to walk into a spiderweb or some other horror to poke it's head out of the tangle of twigs.
so refreshing to hear someone speak like me, thank you for sharing. please keep the island of Hawaii in mind, we got some diversity i like to host and share with you
Hey Joey love all the epiphytes, id love to see more of this kind of habitat someday from you.
Wonderful , great, beautiful diversity. I really enjoyed this video.
Another banger video. Enjoy everything you throw up.

Probably your best episode ever! So many cool plants!!
Kids these days, snap chatting each other pictures of flowers.

So cool. Like something that’s been left in a broken refrigerator for a couple of years in the heat. Everything sprouting out of everything.
Amazing flora🥰

Sweet videos I like the way you present.
GFY 🙂
Beautiful and lovely. Thank you so much for sharing I may get another sweatshirt soon
Awesome episode 👏🏽 thanks for the effort you put in to making these GFY bye ✌🏽💚
Amazing habitat, thank you for sharing this 🔥🕉🔥
I love watching your videos. Very informative with a touch of humor
Beautiful habitat
Epiphyte on a epiphyte; It's like Inception.
Wow that Maxillaria is so beautiful!
Beautiful and amazing eye candy thank you, now fhking take care of your health
Gahd I laughed so hard at the 4-low bit. Great episode as always :)
Man... Thats crazy, I live in a central part of Brazil, the native vegetation around is called ''Mata Atlantica'' and a lot of the plants that grow here are shown in the video. Dominican Republic is really far away from here, more then 5000km according to google
This was one of your best as far as i'm concerned! Thanks
So cool to find someone I glanced off of over 20 years ago still well and wrecking people's realities in all the best ways.
well there's a t-shirt for ya: "C. domingensis: totally tubular!"

Beautiful Fabacae, small florests in trees
Maxillari Coccinea! Thank you for sharing that!
This channel is gold
The 'Sweaty Nutsack Dungeon' is right next to the 'Swollen Ovaries Dungeon".
Great video, very relaxing, but take care of yourself so you don't get too burnt out!
epic scenes, thanks joe
I know a guy lol I’m that guy so glad I found your channel you are the gold pal make some orchid videos I’ll be watching

“Epiphytes on epiphytes” - sounds similar to the human condition. Yet one is natural and the other perverse.
The little orange fungi in the leaf litter were Clavulinopsis sp.
Ive followed your instagram for easily 3 years but havent ever watched a video. And that was a mistake cuz these are awesome
These FLOWERS... If there aren't some angry little bastard hummingbirds in that forest I will eat my hat... Cloud forests rule...
I would love to see you go to the Borneo highlands
I wish it were easier for me to retain everything from these videos, i love it nonetheless
Love the orchids!
14:59 is an Isochilus
You would be the best college botany teacher ❤️
@CPBBD have you ever considered using a camera adapted to filming in the ultraviolet/infrared to look at the flowers? BTW I love all of your videos :D
