Those caverns are trippy AF, the weird fog (?) causing all sorts of orbs and werid floaty shit, the lovecraftian tentacle wall of solid stone slowly inching its way towards its human prey... trippy. The chill narration also helps. I'm gonna have to come back to this one a few times.

I once found a lichen that was growing in a small creek in the piedmont of North Carolina that had branching flat fern-like overlapping scales and it smelled strongly of lemons. Specifically a lemon oil like smell. It might have even produced Limonine. Also it had completely covered the rocks it was growing on up to the water line. It's also possible it was an algae because I was a kid at the time but I've been trying to figure out what it was for literally decades. If anyone here has any idea please let me know.
If I was creepin' around in Mexican jungle I would keep my voice down too. I loved wandering around down there 30 years ago... but today?

You need to go to Mt. Kinabalu. I spent my summer in Malaysian Borneo (Sabah) doing an internship, and I had a chance to climb the mountain. Absolutely insane plant diversity. EDIT: If you think you want to do this, you can get a flight to Sabah for around $1,000, depending on how well you can tolerate really long flights. You'd arrive in Kota Kinabalu (the only major international airport in Sabah), and then there are buses that go up to the mountain. After that, hiking around the mountain near the park headquarters requires some small fees (I don't remember how much it was in USD), while going up higher requires a guide and is more expensive, depending on what you want to do. The trail to the peak from the park HQ goes through a lot of cloud forest, and eventually gets to ultramafic habitats and a very unusual tropical alpine scrub forest. There's also the Mesilau trail, which starts in a different location, and also goes to the peak. The major difference is that you can take a guided botany-centric hike along the trail to see Nepenthes rajah and Paphiopedilum rothschildianum. Visitors aren't allowed to do this hike alone due to some really severe plant poaching problems, but I'm sure they'd allow you to take a video.
I love this for the opportunity to learn new words, alone! Plus trying to absorb some plant knowledge and some geology. It’s just good stuff. Thanks, Tony.
This was so peaceful. Reminds me of when I went camping in south west Australia and I got to go caving and daily bush tracking it was beautiful. I was in a big group of school mates so that was shit but this brings back the good memories. You’re never boring !
It’s pachanoi or bridgesii I forgot, I think jr lllks like the pachanoi definitely. I believe it’s just a temporary thing though, and they’ll grow new ribs or lose them all the time.
NOW you're someplace interesting. I've never had a lichen grow for me by trying. Even that big staghorn lichen down in Monterey or so that reminds of Spanish moss from a distance as it hangs down from Oaks by several feet. You ever see Monstera deliciosa in the wild? One of the worlds most striking plants and icon of the jungle look. Love them. Taste pretty good too if you can time the fruit to ripen perfectly. Always chancy though...
Awesome Clethra, it's huge! Clethra alnifolia (summersweet or sweet pepperbush) is a native shrub I often see here in New England and there are a number of horticultural varieties commonly planted. Funny to see Carya ovata so far south, I live right near the northernmost point of it's natural range in my area. We have 2 saplings in our yard, my GF loves them. The tiny leaves are so cool when they first unfold from the buds in the spring. Thanks for another great video!
I’ve been fascinated by the pine-oak cloud forest since I learned of it studying the resident orchid species , which are difficult to grow under readily provided cultural conditions. I’m currently growing Agave mitis and a ‘rock’ Ficus, Ficus palmeri, so it was fun and informative to see your footage of them in situ.
Stunning - and beautiful to someone who lives in and comes from limestone country. Most of the deposits local to me are ancient coral reefs formed under seas we cannot imagine in relation to modern geography because geography was very different and had many changes to go through between then and now, for sure. The shape of the hills in some places can describe / display the rate that the water levels in those ancient seas rose at accelerating rates - going by the profiles observed ~ quickly tapering.
Wow, what a wonderful cave! These stalactites, stalagmites and other shapes formed by water dripping! I could watch this for hours 🙄 Plants are nice too, but I see plants every day . There's no cave where I live.
You've taught me a lot, so I'll return the favor. That large mineral formation on the FLOOR of the cave is a stalagmite, not a stalactite. A stalactite would be hanging "tight" onto the ceiling.
@@JacksonCA2 Stalactites ALWAYS come down from the ceiling, not sometimes, and he was obviously filming a stalactite when he said "look at that stalagmite." I never claimed that there were no stalagmites in the video.

First time learning about Crassulacean acid metabolism. Had to pause and go look for a more in depth video about it, Khan academy had a great one. Cool shit.

Not boring. Definitely one of my guilty pleasures. For some reason I haven't quite figured out, I like you first thing in the morning... Wherever you are today have a good one. B safe xo me
Wow - that Lactarius indigo is identical in form and markings to one I’ve seen (and eaten) in Australia called, commonly, the saffron milk cap, or pine mushroom except the one down here is a soft orange (opposite on the colour wheel). That was amazing! Was that one growing near any conifers?
Great stuff brother,Im in East Texas (longview) kinda between Caddo lake and the Big Thicket anyway I had to cut some trees near the house after mom passed and she had left it natural mostly but after the canopy was gone and the tree guys skidder tore up the yard then up come the boneset, goldenrod, and stuff I cant identify....yet....but I will!! It sure helps watchin your channel for Identification, learnin somethin new and ideas on native stuff to plant. Thanks and next time Ill send a nasty shitty letter to lift your spirits.
If you ever get the chance, go visit Socotra. You won't have trouble (I spent six weeks there and I'm an American). It's the most unspoiled place I've ever been. The plant life is amazing and the locals are some of the nicest and most humble people you will ever meet.

hi. i just stumbled on your channel the other day. its fascinating, the thought of going into the forest and being able to ID pretty much every plant growing there.... do you have a PhD in botany? i just wonder because you're so knowledgeable but you don't sound like a professor. and i mean that in a good sense. if you had been teaching me (all those years ago) i might have continued on in my education.
