- Join us as we explore just what the hell is going on - botanically speaking - at the #Namibian Border. Meet a member of the Sesame Seed Family that smells like raw hell and reaches heights of 6' tall while growing in one of the driest deserts on Earth. Check out what a canyon full of Billion-year-old granite looks and sounds like. See a member of the Poinsettia Family that looks like a cactus but is not even slightly related to one. Check out #Kissenia capensis - a member of the blazing star family, #Loasaceae that arrived to South Africa millions of years ago and decided to stay! All this and more on the worlds most low-brow botany education channel, Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't.
#Euphorbia virosa
#Rogeria longiflora
#Aptosimum
#Moraea filicaulis

Boring? Nah never, your uploads are amazing botanical journeys!
"Thanks for all the money shots, Tony" are words I never thought I would say but then said.
Tony, you maybe don’t realize or maybe don’t care but your content is appreciated. You sounded somewhat disenchanted at the end of this video.
Yeah Tony, these botany walks with you over the years have proven to be ‘extremely beneficial’ for myself and countless others. Timeless content, this shit will age like a fine wine.
Now go fuck ya’self, bye!
I don't think he did, he was talking about how lonely it must be for the euphorbia up on that ridge with no other plants. Also he mentioned incredible place. Those areas in South Africa are crazy, I know because I was born there, The Valley of Desolation in Graaff-Reinet is another place that does that to you
No one has ever brought me as beautiful flowers as what you bring, Tony.
Luscious !
@@ericpeterson4038 hey!
If you’re gunna badmouth my guy at least do it English so we can understand ya fuckin slob.
@@swayback7375 LOL I think he just wants to f tony because he is a pro
th-cam.com/video/R9liVT4sEsE/w-d-xo.html
@@swayback7375 yeah, i would say dat dis is a case of mistaken intent due to poor punctuation skills, nice. Dis Eric is sayin ‘oh eff Tony’ but what he MEANS is ‘OHF*CK, TONY’. Ya see dat? What a freakin’ difference a comma makes, dere. Yer welcome. Now piss off.
incredible Ficus, what an alien looking place, I’m sure the video doesn’t do the terrain justice. I sure hope you don’t stop making these videos, I look forward to each one!
best Al scorch yet. keep em coming.
7000 thousand generations, smells like a rose.
That is hands down the best intro sponsor I've ever heard! 💎
So glad your videos are available for free, I’ve been having financial trouble and couldn’t afford TH-cam premium or your Patreon anymore :(. Once I get some funds I’ll be supporting you again on Patreon but until then, thank you so much for these inspirational, entertaining, uplifting and beautiful videos. It’s needed in this bleak shitstorm out here. Thank you so much man, nothing has ever inspired me to keep learning and not give up as much as your videos and podcasts. ✌️💚
Stay strong Mitra.
I hope things look up for you real soon.
Greetings from South Africa.
Phenomenal content as always, love seeing/hearing more of Al lately you two are hilarious 😂❤️
How are you able to see this so soon? i pay too.... tf.....
Was just thinking about how I hadn’t seen another video from you in South Africa lately, and not 1 minute later this pops up… and transports me instantly away from the doom I was reading about. Thank you for the escape I needed. 👍
I love how I show up to work and I hear “the hood homies”discussing your videos, you are absolutely changing the world brother 🙏
The Africa content is great, we are lucky to have you as our guide to these wonderful, beautiful plants; I'd never see this without CPBBD. Thanks Tony!
423 views and 332 likes: that is an incredible like to view ratio at the moment.
Well deserved: that lotto ticket rant was pure gold
And congrats on finding that new-to-science species
These videos are a goddamn reprieve
Many MANY thanks, Tony
You'll be glad to hear that area got some very good rain yesterday. From 5 to 30mm of rain was recorded. Second time in 30 days that desert got rain so this will be their wettest year since 2013 🌧️
I am so happy that you make these videos. I enjoy them immensely.
TBH I thought this an exceptionally interesting episode, and I enjoy most of them!
The sound at 15:12 made me kinda jump a little what the fuck. Otherwise a great video, crazy how much beauty over there! And that rocky canyon with the ancient Ficus has a serene and somewhat alien vibe to it
Me too, it sounds like breaking glass.
Don't never change sponsors. Those messages mean a lot to me.
another great video . Tony getting philosophical at one point , thats what Africa does to you
Pray tell, what is the "oatmeal talk" 😂
please dont stop making videos tony your channel is a true blessing
I was fascinated by that Cleome angustifolia @ 16:44 and then the Euphorb next to it, and of course the one at the end was nice too. But that Cleome! Looks like a hydra (the aquatic organism, not the mythological beast) and I could not get enough of that one. Thanks for that, as always!
Those were both stellar!
I’d have probably camped out and loving licked the cleome…
That Cleome looks like it would be fun if cast in silicone...
Lol man I remember when you were talking about putting random background noises in your videos. That's awesome.
All that metamorphosed granite sure looks gneiss! Thanks for another great vid.
Mr. Crime, Another cell of the human tumor here. 71 years of consumption as programmed.
Your work is unique and of the highest quality. Your Brutal Honesty is so sweet.
Intelligence is so difficult to quantify, that’s a complement to you.
Now I’ll go feed my F’n squirrels.
never boring, always compelling...don't stop! and thank-you
Came for the Euphorbia, stayed for everything else as it was the last on the show!!😂
Astonishing variety, beauty & adaptation! In a place where at first glance there’s ‘nothing.’ Thank you.
I can hear the wind blowing through the cactus right now. Oh, love it when you include your buddies in the vids.
Wow. Stuff I've never seen. Thank you.
this dude inspires me so much. and im not a dumb ass, it makes me wonder why. is it the language? or is it just that he shows his human side and he makes learning non-robotic. idk but ive never cared about something so much in my life before. im actually making life decisions based on the earth and shit..like..idk what im doing but is it a bad idea to help pollinate these plants? like ive been spending a lot of time planting shit in my garbage state, Nevada. like im picking native plants that are tolerant to the dry environment.. i just dont know if im doing it right and i already have cops harassin me because the plants in front of the home depot and some apartment complex are being neglected and i keep messin with 'em and someone called the cops on me lol ok bye #DOUF
Like plant police? What law would you be breaking? Your honor this man was illegally helping plants?
@@gaywizard2000 LMAO yea thats my logic too.. but i think it more has to do with the property im doing it on, technically its public, but also technically its owned by the city.
@@gaywizard2000 So i called the forestry department yesterday... and turns out is 100% illegal.. lol what a joke
Never boring.. we have similar brains and I am kn constant awe of the natural world.. Combined, your knowledge and your irreverent, honest, not-so-secretly-soft philisophical commentary makes me feel less alone. If you're not having fun anymore though, stop.. that'd ruin it for all of us. Ftp. #hailyourself

🙏💚
Who else watches Tony's whole videos besides me?
If I'm here, it's because I'm watching it. Not missing a minute.
Fascinating, as per your usual. I'm off to buy a lotto ticket and play my BP numbers
Never boring. Thank you for showing us all the gorgeous geology there! "The oatmeal talk" definitely adding this to my lexicon.
Lovin’ this new format! Great as always! 🤙
This is such a nice video to find waiting for me. Wildflowers and a great sense of humor.
That doorbell sound effect made my dog growl and be upset nice but I always appreciate your content after a long day thoroughly encapsulated by the human tumor. It renews my wonder in the world. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing great video nature at its best beautiful
Some of the most beautiful plants, thanks so much for sharing. You are the most awesome botanist! I would so love to have an uncle like you. Much love 💕
Gotta love that hot metamorphic action.
Don't worry about being entertaining. Your encyclopedic knowledge of plants is always fascinating. I know learning how the rocks and soil as well as climate and the predators affect the evolution of the plants in any one spot. I really appreciate how amazingly adaptive plants are. I do long for a visit to a place that doesn't feel like it's been completely trampled by people. I'm not sure where that could be...up in the artic circle I guess.
Very good photos of incredible plants.
I am always soaking in the knowledge and humor. Very entertaining.
Coming across that Ficus was such a cool moment. Awesome video as always
Thanks Tony for the ride!! Cheers from Argentina. Your videos make me travel in some way
thanks Tony. Keep going dude
Namid desert... I'd love to visit that place sometimes.... Loved your show again :-D
28:00 I enjoyed the recognition of beautiful geology and scenery abutted to misanthropic rant ;)
Ahh Al... fuckin halarious.
Ahh, yeah!!! Another banging episode. Foul smelling shrubs, and maybe a new species? The geology in that wash out area was nuts. Cheers, from Southern Oregon
Thank you for what you’re doing. I’m sitting on my little Santa Fe patio being with the native and probably a few not native food plants that have made it through this summer so far with me. I’m thankful for being able to listen to you. Thankful AF.
Great that u r in Africa lots of species to be reviewed thanks
a brand new pea! exciting.
Lmfaooo that voicemail was hilarious
awesome content, thank you for sharing ,
love it... thanks for sharing
28:15
“What are we doin guys?”
Well… seems to me that we are making as much trash as we can as fast as we can, then racing to buy it so we can be dissatisfied with it and complete the loop, and throw that trash into the trash so we can take it to the big trash hole and bury it with all the other trash.
Other things we’re doing are; staying busy hating other people and making them miserable, in an attempt to make ourselves feel better but really it just makes us all feel worse,
We’re also busy ignoring all the great stuff that you actively take us so that a few of us can enjoy it and help suppress the rage, emptiness and misery that most of us feel in our unfulfilling lives.
yup
As a long time subscriber I'm always excited and happy to see you get to travel and document new places. I hope this trip was nothing but amazing for you!
"columns of potatoes" Ha! Beautiful imagery.
I actually laugh out loud, really hard, at your videos. I love this. Thanks, I also have learned a large amount about taxonomy and biology, and geology, and about your opinions. I love it.
the detail on that iris ... to die for
Smell those flowers and REPORT, Tony! I recently smelled a Massonia species flower that was amaaaaaazing ...
Wonderful video! What amazing adaptations these plants have made to live in a desert!
Thanks for the adventure. Amazing as always
Very mellow ,Nice Thanks
Bureaucracy! Never used to be a border there...! Can you go back to Springbok to get a Covid test? You have to see those Welwitschia! Thanks for sharing the vista.
This was an incredible episode.
The adventure up that draw was quite fun to watch
fascinating as usual Tony
Delightful as usual! Thanks!
Man I love this…not taking a thing of it in…I just like the way you’re saying’ it!
:-)
Loved it!
Loving the sound effects
Wow, that Ficus was amazing to see!
That is such a beautiful place
Awesome video 👍
Boring?🤔
Nah man your videos are not boring at all!!
Please don't stop making these videos, I know I've learned a lot from them and I'm sure others have too..
Me personally, I really like your videos!!
Mans not fucking with that high blood preassure
Awesome video.
Amazing
Remarkably similar to ice plants. All very lovely.
Yep, Mesembryanthemum. Amazing how many other genera have adopted their survival tricks.
the rogeria longiflora , looks so much like the sonoran desert devils claw. Makes sense it being very related, they too smell like death!! Beautiful flowers on both .
Geez! You get around.
fantastic
thanks.
May be they'll name something after a live guy for a change. Better someone we know and love. 🦟
Looks like the Moon or Mars out there... With about the same amount of life! Thanks for another fascinating video.
Ordered a hoodie! Inspiring bro keep it up
Hey buddy! Have you ever thought of going back to the home country? (Italy) and saying hello to and teaching us about all those beautiful Mediterranean plants?
You love it out there
Love everything 😜
cleome angustifolia, so nice
Your vids help me love the world
your so wright we have last are way!
15:10 Wild discarded whiskey bottle appears!
Wow, 20:00 really did look like dead cacti. This trip has been better than I hoped for and you haven’t even gotten into the African plants I love the best.
You are welcome to spend the week on the house at our botanical garden in the North Coast of Egypt along the Meditteranean Shoreline anytime Sir
What even are these fantastical places you've been taking us? Namaqualand? Yeah right like that's even a real place, next thing you know you'll be posting "desert shrubs from the edges of Mordor" or what the shit. 👌🤣
