      Please put the name of the plant or animal and atleast write few details in the description about the same. You do realize that many people around the world don't have 4G or 5G connection. Which means it takes 2-5 mins of loading time to load the video. And many of us have difficulty understanding your pronunciation.

    In Jamaica, we call it "love bush" and it's used to make teas for griping in babies (idk if that's English or not lol). We mostly have the orange variety. Also, it's folklore that you can pick love bush and throw it in your crush's yard. If the plant prospers, then your crush loves you back but if it dies, then your crush doesn't love you back lol.

    Hi Tasha. You always have terrific shows. If you ever get around to doing the Catalpa sometimes called Catawba, I'd love that. My Grandma had one of these trees in her yard (along with a ginkgo), and I was fascinated how every year at the same time it was loaded with "Catawba worms". Of course I since learned that they're actually a type of caterpillar. But I always found a fascinating species of tree.

    People think Japanese spread those seed from plane for their soldiers to use. So the name Japanhlo. with 'Hlo' means medicine.

    I had something like this in my front yard last year, it's just gravel with no plants but after a lot of rain weeds grew everywhere and this light pink flowering vine grew all over in the weeds and I never found a root stalk that it came from so I now have an idea of what it most likely was. Most of the weeds that grow here are goat heads or puncture vines so I'm kinda glad this little parasite prevented them from going to seed.

    I don't know what we call it here. But few years ago I brought it from somewhere and place it in some shrub in my fence(yeah, its made of live plants). My plan was to observe it by limited growth. I thought it was dead by that time so and I forgot it. After a month I found the shrub suffering a lot an this thing was all over it. That shrub was full of flowers before it. I took abot 2 years to totally eradicate it totally from that part of that part of fence. 3 months ago the shrub started having flowers again. Any way I'm not going to touch that plant again🤒

    Duck meal and duck weed are weird for plants in that everything about them is so... tiny. And yet they can somehow cover vast stretches of ponds and lakes. Do you think that could be interesting to do a video about?

    I just discovered Indian long pepper and its so much tastier than black pepper. I'm putting it on everything. Therefore I'm rather curious about other rare garden herbs, or just not common in the U.S. of A. Please do a series on some of these. Thanks Miss (thee~ Amazon) and the whole crew. Superb work always enjoyable 👍

    Still loving the channel!
    If I may offer a suggestion: it might be an idea to put the topic's name (maybe even common name and scientific binomial) into the Description section. I had never heard of this one, and went looking for "daughter plants." Naturally, I only came up with tips for growing plants from cuttings, etc. I was saved by my penchant for reading a ton of the comments on the video - where one viewer was kind enough to post the correct "dodder" spelling.
    Anywho, just a thought. Stay awesome, Animalogicians!

    I'm 56, and when I was about 3 I lived in Southern California, in Del Mar by San Diego. Anyway, there was one of these plants growing out next to the house my parents called "witches hair". They told me it ate live plants, so I would feed it every day green branches and live plant material I would collect. It was like my pet. Now I'm in upstate NY in Ithaca, where we have very cold winters and I see some of it growing by the lake. It looks like alien orange Spaghetti. I'm surprised to find it growing in this climate. Really weird stuff!
