The Toughest Milkweed on Planet Earth

- Once again we see the result of "edaphic endemism" - strange soil types inducing the evolution of soil-specific species in various families and genera of plants. This time, the strange ultramafic (high in magnesium and iron) soil has worked its wonders on a species of milkweed.
#Ascelpias solanoana only grows on ultramafic, "serpentine" soils of the coast ranges in Northern California. To see it in flower checkout CPBBD Episode #97 at roughly the 9:00 mark.

In my estimation, this channel is probably the most worthwhile channels on TH-cam. Keep on keepin’ on, and stay safe and well.
The other day I was out in little old Dunedin NZ, wearing my CPBD hoody. Waiting to cross the road, this person across the other side grinned broadly. When we both crossed they said "Oh my God I love that guy! I watch him all the time!"
We talked for a moment about plants and stuff, then went on our ways, both smiling.
So yeah, multiple fans in Dunedin :)
wha? you got a hoodie? i didn't see hoodies...Maybe hoodies will make a comeback.
@@d.rabbitwhite they were on bonfire a few months ago. Still waiting for the other tshirt I ordered. The way the NZ postal service is, I fear it is lost... :(
@@serrakilduff6580 Maybe, and maybe it is held up in some warehouse due to NZ's aggressive anti sars cov2 defense.
PS, I've noted that the countries that nipped this in the bud were women run countries. Maybe a coincidence.
I hope it is languishing in the Auckland post warehouse, and will eventually find me...
Pretty happy with how the country is being run, a nice change from the decade before...
Like serpentine, I too begin to break down as soon as I’m exposed to the outside world.
0:22 Born in Greenbrae, grew up in Sonoma county my whole life, and I ain't never heard a better description of Napa county's residents than that one. Good on ya for knowin' where you go so well, Uncle Plantfondler.
@@d.f.4511 Pfff is just the other side of the spectrum, instead of climate change denialists that get off from hoarding death canons and using them on wildlife, tearing apart the landscape on their ATVs you have those who go vegan to be "ecological" yet would drink a bottle of wine a day (them antioxidants!!11!1) made from the grapes of the vineyards that decimated this place and change cars every year (electric for extra eco credits!).
I always hopes he finds an asteraceae, just so I can hear him say it.
“Dis here is in da Esteraceae faimily”
Good to see im not the only one haha
Am I the only one that finds themselves talking in his accent? makes the curse words bite a little harder 🤣
13:04!
@@VorboteDesKrieg 🤣🤣🤣 I love this guy!
My milkweed here in the city has just sprouted, about a week ago. We raise monarchs here.
I travel vicariously through you brother. Keep up the good work.
'Harry Sepals' sounds like a guy who does tinted car windows.
I spent this last weekend camping in the corriza canyon area in southern Colorado. The area is mainly known for the Native American pictographs on the sandstone walls, but the fauna and flora are quite the fucking sight as well!
This video makes me not want to burn my city down very soothing
Classic bimodal volcanism. That is, igneous rocks from the same thermal event that are highly felsic (granitic/rhyolitic) and mafic (basalts) with relatively little with intermediate compositions
So very happy when I see a new video from you. I get to learn something new today. Do we get to see the drawing you are doing? I would like to see them. Thank you once again for doin what you do.
Follow him on instagram because he’s posting a lot of his drawings
Careful, you might end up in wonderful Lake County where the percentage of rich and poor are reversed. I got to get out more. Iv lived here all my life and never have seen most of the plants you find. Love your description of humans and right now they are really acting up.
You're the reason I got milkweed for my garden last summer
Thanks for continually brightening my day with your botanical knowledge!! Love you and stay safe
Jeez you and the sketchy hillsides. You definitely have a guardian angel.
Napa is so beautiful, varied and in some places still quite wild. Keep in mind serpentine is a precursor to asbestos and the dust can be a bit toxic. Should be ok just handling it? I have collected it and keep some in my yard ❤ that little plant is absolutely exquisite; what a Jewel!
Yes. The rolling hills and oak trees are beautiful. Lots of cattle grazing. Have to imagine the wilder areas are more interesting.
I feel like I was meant to be a botanist in another life. I used to look at everything incredibly closely like this when I was a kid. Too bad I'm a big dum dum and never learned anything. Love the vids.
Well you found the right place, we're all botanists at heart here.
You could casually study the flora in your area online, it's a start haha.
theanalmarauder It’s time ur calling is here
This channel is so underrated. He deserves new views. This was a great video, as always.
I love your narration! Good job, keep it up!
Can anyone link to video where the milk weed is in bloom?
Also, I found my first Asclepias viridis a few weeks ago and was so excited to see a milkweed with my own two eyes!
"Probably half the state will be on fire again." Called it.
Definitely looks like it this year plus in the napa/lake/sonoma area we have major fires every other year tubbs 2017, Kincade 2019, this year is going to be another.
Hey, a good friend lives in Napa county, and he is the exact opposite of your description. He is a rockhounder who lives in the boonies and grows much of his own food. He dislikes the vineyards too, and prefers oak woodlands. Imma big Adenostoma fan, love them! I rescued a Dudleya lanceolata that had fallen out of a cliff, and it's now in my yard. Serpentine is the state rock of California. LOVE Eriodictyon!!!!! Some sticky with white flowers, some fuzzy with lavender flowers, and have seen some that appear to be hybrids between the two. The sticky leaved one seems to like a higher elevation, and the fuzzy one lower, and where the two meet I've seen some that are kind of in between. Whatever, great plant, smells awesome and does make a nice tea when one has a cold. It's excellent for any bronchial issues. Poodle Dog Bush is an Eriodictyon now? Say it ain't so! Really cool milkweed!
I was like : he's not gonna say it, he's not gonna say it this time
and right at the end this beautiful flower came out his mouth
I want to publicly thank CPBBD for motivating me to pay more attention to all the plant life that I see during my hikes. Now, instead of just passing plants by without notice, I take a moment to identify and note several facts about the various plant life that I encounter. All of this takes place in my head, and the "facts" are just things I make up on the spot, but I feel like a real botanist, and that's what really matters.
A Packera!
Asclepias jones satiated. Thanks, Tony!
I got into an argument with a woman at a bar who is a geologist for a natural gas company. She said serpentine soil wasn't real and didn't like that you didn't have a degree. Did I dodge a bullet?
I , Sir, appreciate your righteous rant.
When I lived on acreage in Kansas, the county fined one huge for leaving milkweed grow and bloom, That is, if you didn't take steps to curb their spread they'd come on to your property uninvited and eradicate it with chemicals, then charge for their time and materials (because in the USofA,- the 4th amendment doesn't apply, because warrantless search and seizure of properties are not illegal, if the objects, Field of brome and milkweed, being searched are in plain view. Warrantless seizures on an open field are not a violation because having an expectation of
privacy on an open field is not reasonable). It's considered a noxious weed, they even tried bringing camels into the prairie to eat it. Sad, because always there were monarchs on the milkweed and they are beautiful, and useful for humans, too. Weird that the brome wasn't a noxious weed considering how it over runs the natural prairie.
Super cool to see this video today. Was just botanizing through the serpentine soils of Mount Diablo today. Love to see things I was just IDing on video. The mountain was just covered in Clarkias--saw thousands of them.
Puleeease stay safe! Love milkweeds. Thanks for the shot of the beautiful buds
I love the new thumbnails
Tony/Joey, did you intentionally make this video 33:33? That’s beautiful. And the plants and rocks and shit too. Thank you.
Always a fan of the Asclepias!! Thank you again---you never disappoint
love that psych ward GREEN
I love em all. Your best conservation comment. All Species.
I love hearing the Wrentit singing in the background at about 16:10.
Another great species account. Botany is harsh, but that is the brutal truth.
Please never stop talking about serpentine.
Great tip on liquid smoke. Thanks.
Wooo thanks for the shoutout Pennsylvania Serpentine represent!!! #Prenanthes
can we get a story about the state botatnist??
I have a watercolor paint with ground Australian Serpentine for the pigment. I makes a sap green color with orange pits in it. Wicked looking.
I’m a painter, and i’d be so into that!
@@jenmha Hey Bud. The company I bought that paint from is called Daniel Smith out of Seattle. It's found in their watercolor line of paints; their Prima Tec series if I remember correctly. When you first do a wash with it over the paper it looks sap green. But as it dries you start to see the orange oxide specs in the texture pits of the paper.
Is anyone familiar with the Texas Milkweed he mentioned towards the end of the video that was getting bulldozed by a county?
Thanks for talking about the huge wine industry, a blessing and a curse.
Mostly a curse.
My aunt says the best way to make a small fortune in a winery is to invest a huge Fortune.
Those doggos steal the show lol
Milkweeds are damn impressive plants.
Word
Pretty slick thumbnail u got there
Which milkweed should I plant in the hard pan of central San Joaquin Valley?
speciosa.
man ive been watching your videos for a while and thinking "this guy needs a tv show" and then it dawned on me: you already do :) don't change a thing!
Another fascinating video, watch your self on those sketchy slopes!
TH-cam seems to have a problem with the Chicagoland accent. Tissue = “Piss You” on the subtitles. Or maybe this is evidence of TH-cam AI trying to predict forthcoming filth and offenses 🤙
Put "bang a lot & die" on a t shirt. Is it a warning? A motto? A mission statement? Yes.
this guy is awesome
Wonderufl
Got a buddy of mine down in Houma Louisiana if you ever want a point of contact for marsh travels
There is NO ONE else on youTube that can talk plants the way you do. How you speak of the ultra-mafic soils, and how the plants that live there have adapted, is inspiring! Maybe it's just me, but it sounds like you may be losing your accent. Or, maybe I have watched enough videos that you sound 'normal'. Whatever, keep up the great work, please!
Lived in Napa for 29 years moved to Tahoe last three years an now I’m in Marin miss Tahoe
I live near the mason Dixon line in Maryland just south of Delta PA where a lot of the serpentine is..NE/central Maryland and SE PA bothhave a lot
I'm amazed how plants can grow out of rock. Such a cool adaptation. Ultramafic Rock (serpentine) Ultramafic Rock (serpentine). My
Asclepias syriaca is blooming right now.
can anyone reccomend any similar botany youtube shows? love cpbbd videos sm n want to learn more botany, n geology also looking to learn from black/brown botanists if there are any good ones on youtube
Love your vids
Could you do a video on Cannabaceae nettle order urticales? Been doing a bit of research on these plants and they are quite fascinating . Hi 👍 from England 🇬🇧
Well,if "you people" would rake up and sweep your forests,you wouldn't have those fires" Said Einstein Darwin Trump. He knows.
I grew up in lake county... never appreciated the botany before I left; now I'm a horticulturist 😂
Why would the Texas botanist be mad at you about your video?
He made fun of dumb Texans. Mf was so spot on, so of course they’re mad lol this is me, a Texan admitting this. However very much in denial of our ridiculous culture we have acquired
When the mafia knows more than you, about fauna:
How do the ultramafic soils of Napa differ from the ultramafic soils of somewhere like New Calidonia?
Dude cracks me up...
I'm trying to identify a plant a volunteer in my yard. Have had no luck I have pictures from several directions. Any suggestions? S Florida.
Rick O'Brien did you run it through inaturalist app ?
@@123jeffries123 join the facebook group "Plant Identification and Discussion" and post the photo with your location in the header. :) Very helpful bunch.
@@123jeffries123 Yes no luck so far.
You could take it to several nurseries to ask their opinions. Or go to a local university or garden club. The Facebook suggestion was also a good idea.
Man your knowledge is amazing 🙂👍
I needed that, thanks.
Thrilled to find an Asclepias tuberosa in a gallon at my local nursery, it's now in my yard! Speciosa blooming in a few places in my rural hood. As intricate a flower as any orchid.
I’m really happy you mention Cuba a lot, I’m Cuban-American and always want to learn everything I can about the island
I saw a butterfly egg on the bottom of that milkweed plant !
I saw this last night, but saved it to watch while eating breakfast this morning.
*purple flower shows up*
Me: I know what that is. That's an onagraceus bastard!
This is the distraction I needed. The riots only exist if you pay attention to them. Oh wait, someone is kicking in my doo..
th-cam.com/video/45ey4jgoxeU/w-d-xo.html talking reduces conflict surprisingly reliability.
Annuals... Nature's quick fuck.
For whatever reason on the TH-cam app for tvs, the screen is completely green. Matte green. Works fine on mobile
Along the smith river on hyway 199 is the most serpentine rock I have seen in ca
I live near Napa and you speak nothing but truths about the people here.
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee there you are ......thanks for sharing
Maybe go over up the zim Zim falls there is some nice succulents on the cliffs next to the falls just left over more
The dogs! ❤!
He would like the common name for comandra
"life finds a way" It's from a Jurassic Park movie, the first ones with Jeff Goldblum
Always love seeing that clarkia.
Just went on a hunt for iris moussouriensis on a cool day here in colorado. Success! Been itching for another vid, thank you!
33:00 😂
Serpentine makes a beautiful watercolor, kinda a cross between chartreuse and baby-shit green. This serpentine supposedly comes from Australia, as to why a company up here in the Pacific Northwest doesn’t source locally is beyond me.
Ooh would that be Daniel Smith ? Just here for the gossip 😛 They have serpentine in their ..gosh forgot the name of that collection...
There is a wizard living in Napa valley by the name of Brad Gates. He's been chanting the spell of making into Solanum lycopersicum for many years, and made some wonders. I'm growing them in my garden!
Is there a species of yerba Santa with safrole?
You sound a little... nervous, Tony.
Very Jennifer Melfi of you to say
I hope this means you're on the way to Humboldt
Tht buddy werks for LUMCON btw
Love love love
This is like botanical Pokemon
he's not wrong about half the state being on fire. It's already started in major cities. A little botany and sarcasm is what I needed tho thx
I heard word from my plant systematics professor that they're about to split off Hydrophyllaceae again
see here for more information:
scholarship.claremont.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=scholar.google.com/&httpsredir=1&article=1911&context=aliso
I should clarify that in the NEW Boraginales circumscription, Eriodictyon would be in a new family called Namaceae
"Conifer dahngs"
