What I love most about this channel is when he says "oh, would ye' look at dat!" Because I never now if it'll be followed by a long stream of Latin, some geological features, or him just saying "It's a big bush... "
I have a headache. Yesterday I turned 60 years old, had an okay time at my sons’ place. Pizza, right when I was jonesing for it. Had grandkids hugging on me, and then going back about their bizz, just the way I like it. But then this morning, I started into thinking about the how and why my identity got stolen, and what a fucking nightmare it will be to try and rectify the situation and I’m 30 seconds away from losing my shit and TADA!!! here comes my favourite tattooed love dago with da milkweed, and da cacti, and da skeptical tortoise, and da fuckin’ GORGEOUS TINY PINK MONKEY FLOWERS. So, now I gotta headache, but I don’t give a fuck. Thanks, Joey.
Hey don't worry about your identity situation....banks are usually pretty good about making things right. But a hassle none the less....just remember could always be worse and at least you woke up today to even have the opportunity to be stressed out
I found you this time a year ago when you had 838 Subs. What brought me here was trying to figure out who all the plants were in the Mojave Desert. So, one year later, just wanted to say congratulations on the growth of your Channel, thank you so much for helping us to learn about the plants in our ecosystems, and double super thank you for revisiting the Mojave Desert and it's botany. I love that place, and the plants there are super hard to get my head around.
Told my green thumb grandmother that I was getting into botany lately and clear out of the blue a package shows up on my doorstep a couple days later...it’s the book Botany In A Day, a book that you literally recommended! Awesome coincidence, I’m pretty stoked about it.
Thank you for not actually leaving before showing me the Asclepias albicans. I had no idea they existed like that. I need to visit out West in a bad way.
kwai mister thanks you for your botanical lesson , i love so much , peace respecfully friendly , king regard , mitakuye oyas'in ✌ next for another lesson ☺❤🌸🍀🌹🌻🌺🍁🍃🍂🌿🌾🍄🌵🌴🌲🌳🌼 and becarefull covid its deadly , god bless you
I think I have a new favourite channel, I live as far as the desert as possible (Canada) and basically every plant I come near dies on contact, but I like learning about botany.
Sahara/Asian Mustard is edible. There are recipes available. Cook the tender leaves with bacon and onion like poke salad greens. Also, my neighbor's goats love it!
@@trickyricketts I have 21 goats that have that mustard greens halitosis! I'm pretty sure Venus and Stevie burp in my face on purpose! They are so cute though, and I love them so much. They are much better friends than humans.
Thank you for documenting these desert walks, I’ve never been to a desert or even close, never get any up close looks at these plants or any views containing distant mountains, which is my favorite thing to see. Indiana is flat as a magazine.
FayeVert yes I’ve always liked that and as a kid always wanted basically a Pokédex for plants and insects. Now there are apps for that, but I don’t see much biodiversity because I’ve basically never left the east side of the country.
It doesn't. A mutation (or series of them) happened at some point in the last few hundred thousand years and it proved to be so beneficial to the plant that the mutants fared far better at reproducing than the non-mutants, eventually outnumbering them and becoming more widespread. Such a mutation is called an adaptive trait. This all happens, of course, over a very long time span, on a scale none of us could conceive of, ie thousands or hundreds of thousands of years.
Holy shit! You answered me! Thank you.. I'm an arborist in Canada, I love trees, you've inspired me to learn more about botany, and plants in general. Thank You for the great vids. I do wood carving..not the boring kind..could u check it on insta? At 77grit.. one more thing..you should end your comments with go fuck yourself. Ha
@@lumplump6809 I recommend reading the blind watchmaker by dawkins if you want an accessible explanation of evolution and exactly the kind of stuff you commented about, I would recommend it to anyone that watches this channel and wants to be able to marvel at nature even more :)
A biologist on a hike I was leading corrected me once when I said a plant had "figured out" how to do something in a way that stuck with me. He said evolution shuffles the deck randomly, and the organism with the winning hand gets to pass on their genes.
Yeah, yeah Hanna. Whatever the hell you call it I had one for a companion for 20 years as I was growing up in L.A. Found him wandering the streets of South Central and adopted him. Called him "Snoopy" This was 1948. Didn't know at that time that you were not supposed to take them out of their ( I was 8 years old) habitat, but what the hell, he was already in L.A. He finally escaped back into the mean streets while I was in the army. Hope others took care of him as well as I did. When i was older, spent many a day roaming the deserts of CA. Always left the Mojave Desert Tortoises alone... Hope they make it.
Thank you Sir. Seems this quarantine has been going on for about five million years now. So, about to go out of my god damn mind at this point. then this pops up in recommended videos. Thank you, I shall from hence forth call you; Spiderman.
Wow! Thank you to infinity & beyond! You open up my tiny world! I grew up crick crawlin in Appalachia thinking it was the most beautiful because of the ferns, moss, orchids, huge trees, fungi, and water. I was unecessarily biased. This potty-mouthed botanist is making me love the desert because of his descriptions like, "it smells like fruity pebbles and cannabis" and his dogged determination to demonstrate the diversity and adaptations of botany in seemingly god-forsaken environments, and his balls-up enthusiasm! You are a very good teacher. "Thank you", ain't nearly enough, but it's what I got at the moment. That and a big mouth. Oh, I'm reading, "Our History Is The Future" by Nick Estes. It will open some things up for you.
Such a beautiful landscape Saharan mustard notwithstanding, and some great advice. Dispersed in amongst viewings of your sardonic tutelage i have been spending my time transforming my garage into a soace where i can grow all sorts of mushrooms and edible and medicinal fruits, vegetables & flowers. I love that some good humoured asshole as has helped you out with that incredible seo redirection 😂👏
I have a Yellow Goji Amber Sweet variety, super delicious and no bitterness whatsoever. Gonna make alot of cuttings this year, to giveaway for free. Love spreading Plants.
The plant mimicry is going to send me down a rabbit hole. I have never heard of that. Thanks again. Between that and Trichomes I also plan on researching the whole science behind it.
Wow! And I thought I cussed alot and was obssessed with plants but this guy takes the prize. Awesome! Desert plants and ecology are just about as interesting as the stuff here in Florida too.
The closeups of the turtle on railroad gravel was very exciting for your money shots of fine California serpentine. Today in my railroad gravel walk I got a wonderful Jersey geode-a hydrothermal deposit of prehnite in basalt. Green rules!
There is a outcrop of Joshua trees I know about near Lancaster on the 138, head over there if you wanna do an episode on Yucca Brevifolia away from Joshua Tree National Park. I saw an odd looking purple-green cactus there in November of last year, I thought it was Opuntia santarita (Prickly Pear) but it had no spines, was way thicker and shorter than any I have seen. It was barely a foot or so tall. (I'm looking this up now) But the Areoles on the cactus were small and fuzzy and almost in neat rows along the width of the cactus, these areoles were less than an inch apart, wheras most Prickly Pear I have seen has small areoles and they are spaced out randomly. It had dead yellow flowers on it. I have a good picture of it, but it's probably just a stressed out or baby prickly pear, ha!
The snow just cleared out, time to get a garden ready. Lit a fire under me my friend. OH Greetings from central British Columbia. Stay safe in your journeys, love the channel. Botany in a Day, best investment in a while. Thanks.
Thank you. Loved the Orabanche! And the Asclepias. I would kinda wanna suggest that right now in IL that the flowers on Dentaria may have some mimicry going on with those of Cardamine. Same sizes, colors, number of petals, and bloom time. Never thought about that before.
You should check out the Desert Tortoise Reserve in the Mojave desert, just north of California City. It's like a million acres of protected land. Or not. What do I know?
I just wanted to know, did you tattoo that on your finger? I was thinking about getting an inch tattooed on my same finger, I cut hair, so if someone wanted an inch I could show them how much an inch is....
That Sahara Mustard root reminds me of my Japanese Knot-weed. I harvest the sprouts at about 12", wash peel and steam them....I wonder if it is related to or of the same type of genus. Anyway, you should bring a piece of black paper out with you, just put it behind the plant/flower, it'll show it up even better!
can you talk a bit about Midge galls on creosote bushes? Maybe you have previously and I just missed it. You talk about so many plants I see all the time in this video- Awesome!
@crimepaysbotanydoesn't got a small palo verde tree in my yard. A limb broke off and had some foamy sap leaking I seen a worm or parasite looking bug. Can I nurse it or do I gotta remove it?
So if a plant takes all it's food from fungi, can that plant be considered a "mycoheterotrophic holoparasite"? All these words are holoparasitising my neurons!!!
Wonder if there's any gold dust or other minerals in that alluvial fan you *very* briefly showed? ~ Funny, the last video I watched of yours, I left a long comment.

Since you asked, I've uploaded a screen printing video, sharing my work and set up. All/90% of my rig is hand built and pretty cool... I take a lot of pride in the work. I talk nonsense and ramble on about printmaking. Would appreciate the view.
Talking about pigment being an expensive adaptation, have you done much looking at flowers under UV light? I wonder how an insect pollinator sees those Orobranches? (Assuming that’s actually a thing and not a pop science misconception).
Y'all need to fund me a desert walk where I can wonder what all the plants are . I gotta get out of INDPLS. It's a swamp. I'm gonna need malaria pills.
Hey Joey, thank you for all your videos. I say a little prayer so the goat Gods bestow some sure footing when you are hanging your ass off the side of a cliff to get a money-shot of a flower growing out the crack. Anyway, maybe you just answered my question with your explanation of flower mimicry. I have a weed in the yard here, about two feet high ( mid Michigan area ) Maybe its chamomile with the feathery foliage but the white petals are quill-like, not rounded like all the images I have found. I am Googling around for an ID, thought you could help?
Have you heard of One Square Inch of Silence? I think you might be into it. This guy goes around the world recording high quality audio of some of the last wild places. I'd much rather live in places where the soundscape was healthy, but it's at least nice to listen to when what you're stuck with is the sound of the refrigerator and other machine sounds.
How do u know all these names ? Do u know every plant that exists in the desert ??!! Im near castaic lake and we have many similar looking plants but they are slightly different. Also have some of those imposter plants, the ones which are similar to the main good one. In the 50's the oil company made roads and brought with it this fking mustard looking thing with thorns. Super invasive. Goes right through jeans. Roundup has been the only thing to make a difference. It literally is invading like a carpet of thorns. No other plants will exist if it is just left to be. 20 years my dad has been at it and its almost under control. Anyways, its been there long enough that it too has an imposter plant..... AND AND the last 2 years i've been letting the milk thistle go wild. Now its got an imposter friend too ....
“Ehh I am an asshole, but not that kind.” Me too, bud. Me too.
Well said brother

You'd be surprised at the diversity of plants that can be found in an "empty" field. Once you start looking you start noticing.
FayeVert yes I’ve always liked that and as a kid always wanted basically a Pokédex for plants and insects. Now there are apps for that, but I don’t see much biodiversity because I’ve basically never left the east side of the country.
Flower mimicry!! How does the one flower, know what the other flower looks like...so fascinating.
