We had a huge mimosa tree in our front yard at my old house, and it was magnificent when the BRIGHT pink flowers fell and it looked like a neon pink ice rink. Incredible.
A suggestion for a new Crash Course series: Crash Course Law. Speaking as someone currently in a legal studies program, there's a lot you could talk about--contracts, what a tort is, how bankruptcy works, and so much more.
The evolution of seeds in plants is always so fascinating to me! In certain ways, it mirrors the evolution of amniotic eggs in tetrapods that occurred shortly after, in that it allowed plants to cut ties with water for reproduction and expand into new habitats, just like the amniotic egg. Very excited to see where the series goes next!
2:44 - As a zoologist I compare everything to animal evolution but I never realized that the evolution of gymnosperms was basically the equivalent of reptiles evolving watertight (ish) eggs. It makes a lot of sense though.
So plants, like humans, have evolved different ways of living in different environments. But each is just as valid, and important to this world we live in.
It's pretty intimidating walking through a field of jewelweed and not knowing what they are until they start shooting in your face 😂 then you try to run and explode more of them in all directions... There is no escape
I was not expecting the seed pods of the purple salvia in my front yard to explode. It was an especially dry summer and I decided to drag the hose around and give the plants some extra water. The plant started crackling like tiny little fireworks.
i had no clue cycads were considered endangered :0! My grandparents have had a few in their front yard for years. (though i’m not sure whether they’re still there since they live out in hurricane country. as of the last time google street view came around there were still at least 3 though!)
Not really a "fact" at all, huh. You assume it by operating on other assumptions, not observations. Just looking at a fossil does not give anyone enough data to make coherent claim like that.
The answer to the extra credit question is…a forest fire! What’s the sickest botanical burn you can come up with?
Yo momma must be R. gallica var. centifolia. Because she both smells good and is beautiful to behold. Although she might be prickly at times.
I made a guess before I checked here and I actually got it right!!
I love the butterfly hair clip on Alexis and the information presented ❤
I was hoping someone mentioned butterfly clip. It was too cute and fluttering to miss 😊
That butterfly hair clip brought me back to my childhood. I’m inspired to get one for my adult self now. 🤍
Botany finally receives energy it has always deserved 🌞

My father always called "Dr Seuss trees" because they're bright and fluffy like trees in The Lorax

Whoever decided to make her the host for this was brilliant. I love her energy and enthusiasm

Great teacher matches great topic. Much admiration for our botanists 💐

Thanks for all the hard work on the video!
Ayo ayo. Here for class.
Alexis loving the energy you bring to the show and loving the bobbing butterfly hair pin

Jewelweed love!
My foraging queen, that voice had me like👁️👄👁️
Wow, gymnosperms sure are Gnet!
She's good at what she does 💚💛🧡
Fantastic Topic about Gymnosperms and Angiosperms and why do the flower exists

Thank you!
I love learning about plants from you. Don't die!
I gotta know where you got that butterfly clip!
I love her content!

Coconuts float by design. That's why they got from east asia to the world. Imagine the carribbean without palm trees
Forest fires.
Am i a seed?
Here's a fun fact: sharks have existed on Earth longer than trees :)

I can buy myself flowers 💐
LOL

Pretty informative, except the last part. There is no place for everything. Extinction is the norm!
Flowers exist because the stems would look ridiculous sticking up out of the ground without them.
