Who Killed Purple Milkweed?
Просмотров 81121 час назад
Foresters will tell you trees need to be cut on frequent cycles to assure forest health. Some preservationists say not to manage forests at all. What does purple milkweed say? BOTANIST NOTES: The purple milkweed in this video grows on diabase geology in the Sourland Mountains. Diabase weathers to create a nutrient-retentive soil high in magnesium and calcium. Purple milkweed is uncommon in New ...
Cliffs of Cactus: How Plants are the Ultimate Storytellers
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.Месяц назад
Jared scales the rocky cliffs of New Jersey to find the beautiful yellow flower of the prickly pear cactus. BOTANIST NOTES: We think of cactus and we think of deserts. Maybe the Southwest, or points further south. But there is one cactus species that has made it up into the northeast: prickly pear cactus (Opuntia humifusa). Here we are along a cliff on what is basically a canyon of the Delaware...

Jared visits an open meadow to seek out a stunning autumn wildflower and share the story of the special conditions that help this plant persist…. BOTANIST NOTES: Here we are at White Lake, in a short beautiful meadow near a sinkhole pond, with Fringed Gentian! This is a special plant. Incredibly beautiful, increasingly rare, it is found in small populations and infrequently distributed. Some bi...

On a steep ridge along the Delaware River, Jared tells the story of bee balm and an ancient relationship. Is this rare plant species native here, and what does native really mean anyway? BOTANIST NOTES: We're just upslope from the Delaware River in a thicket with some really nice plants. Oh, and this plant... bee balm. Monarda didyma Here in New Jersey it's considered an imperiled species. For ...

Wild Ginger: mystery of an ancient migration
Просмотров 6 тыс.2 года назад
Jared visits an isolated patch of wild ginger and ponders how it got there… BOTANIST NOTES: We’re in North Jersey, the locals call this region the Highlands. It’s not that high. Still, we’re almost exactly, just a few miles north of where the last glacier stopped as it was sweeping south across America with walls of towering ice. We are looking at a manmade cleft of rock, and old overgrown quar...
Beach Plum!
your hair makes you look mentally ill
I'm pretty sure I've seen a stand of purple milkweed on the lake side of the towpath (between the canal and Carnegie Lake) in Princeton just a few hundred yards in, on the right, as you walk from the Harrison St bridge towards the Washington St bridge. There are really old trees nearby. It's the same kind of meadow environment as in that power line cut of the Sourland Mts. Sadly, sometimes the D&R Park maintenance people get carried away and MOW this swathe down as weeds. Several of us have tried to lobby them not to mow weeds along the towpath at all, because it is such a rich habitat for wildflowers, snakes, birds and rabbits. But they still seem to. What is it with the urge to make every place into lawn?
Totally with you. A lot of the most diverse wildflower habitats are roadsides, trailsides, ROWs, in part because of the extra sun. If we managed these places thoughtfully, they could be wonderful havens for native plant diversity.
Love what you’re doing but can you please stop looking like a cereal killer with that weird head of hair. Please.
There also used to be a lot more openings in forests due to the high population of beavers on rivers and streams. Beavers create large clearings around their dams, and then later on when beaver ponds are abandoned, they silt in and create the once-common "beaver meadows". Without these ecosystem engineers in the landscape, the niches for many native plants and animals become scarce.
Great point. It's easy to forget what important ecosystem engineering was performed by large populations of beavers.
There ARE still occasionally beavers around Princeton, NJ. I've seen signs of them over the years in Mercer Co. park and in Mt. Lakes right here in town. And there was the scandal a few years back where the then animal control officer was found to have killed beaver at Mtn. Lakes at the behest of some misquided state official who had threatened his job if he did not kill them even though they are protected. Thankfully, that got outed. But in general, beavers are not let alone around here to dam things as they would like, and so they tend to move on. Or, they are killed.
Excellent video lots of valuable information
Wow, such interesting info on this plant. I have one plant that I planted in my yard from a friend's land. It is doing well so far.
welcome back - I've waited a long time for this new ep!
Wonderful information. We need to keep whatever old forest we have left.
i wish i could see what these forests used to look like
Us too! Some of what we imagine is no doubt incorrect, but I feel like keeping open many possibilities about how forests were in the past also keeps open many restoration approaches and we need to try many different things to restore habitats where specialized species can thrive.
Like the vibe. Pretty deep subject matter too.
I’m in NJ… come botanize with me and I’ll show you where to find Muhlenbergia capillaris.
Ha! You can't lure me into the woods that easily. Well, actually... you know where to find me, right? Be in touch.
Great presentation! I enjoyed the artwork too
Great video!!!
Fantastic all the way.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom! Your knowledge of how plants fit into an ecosystem and thrive and evolve is amazing! You’re an inspiration to me.
Cactus are Land Healers, I live in Albuquerque, been here 14 years . I love Cactus . I do urban desert permaculture gardening , at 5,000 feet .
I love that part of the world! The bluffs over the Delaware in the video are the closest we get to your home landscape
your guitar work on these is always a treat!
Thanks John! I really appreciate that, I'm looking forward to integrating more music into these...
Very interesting!! Thank you.
Eeeh no. 'Exclusive to the Americas.' Typical American. Cacti are absolutely also native in Africa and Asia, so basically all over the world. World heritage basically. Such big words... (Rhipsalis baccifera XD)
Here's more information on the topic from Wikipedia: "They are native to the Americas, ranging from Patagonia in the south to parts of western Canada in the north, with the exception of Rhipsalis baccifera, which is also found in Africa and Sri Lanka. Cacti are adapted to live in very dry environments, including the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on Earth."
@@RootedPlantVideos I'm joking ofcourse, hope you understood that.
got one of these beauties that my mom had planned a few years ago but didn't want around anymore bc of how easily they grow and spread. transplanted to a pot in the spring and that bad boy is thicccc now. Also was a great help when I got sunburn! Idk why people don't think to use them for this purpose, you can harvest a piece without harming the plant and either burn off or boil the hairs off then the gel inside is amazing on the skin. Thank you for this video! Hopefully our cactus blooms next year :)
That's a great tip on how to use cactus pads, thanks!
I discovered some ancient 'shrubs' of Prickly Pear out at Race Point on Cape Cod. They were 4-5' tall and nearly 7' wide. They were the only ones I had ever seen (even around the rest of the Cape) that did not hug the ground.
Wow, I'd love to see that!
Beautifully done! Subscribed!
If Bee Balm could make music, it would sound like the guitar played in this video. Thank you for this lovely video. I've been enjoying watching a hummingbird visit a bee balm plant on my deck this summer. I am looking forward to more of your videos.
i think plants are super interesting, thanks for the vid. cool shirts too, discovered some new bands :)
Yay! Glad someone is vibing with the metal/punk/crust aspect 🖤
Very cool video. Love the music too
Thanks! Especially about the music 🙂
Not sure why your videos (or your old podcast) don't get more attention. I hope you keep them coming!
Maybe because I'm always trying out new things? There are so many potential platforms now. I love this video format though and I hope to find a sustainable way to fund it into the.future. Glad this episode is launching well! There's a learning curve with RUclips and I think we got a lot out of Season One.
And, how about that impressive field of LICHENS at 4:00? Those deserve a mention. Oddly, you were talking about plant blindness sometime right about then. Lichens just don't come into people's field of awareness, but they are amazing survivors and can be extremely old. Not sure they are entirely "plants" for that matter. I don't climb much so I'd never seen them on cliffs, but on trees and rocks for sure.
There are some FANTASTIC lichens on those cliffs. Thanks for representing for the lichen people.
ohhh yeaaahhhh!
Go JAREDS!!
Thanks Sarah! It's been fun teaming up with Jared on this project. --Jared
How're you just going to drop a video like this then disappear off the face of the earth? 🎉🎉

Holy shit I love this
I live in Canada and my property consists of many native prairie plants, fiddleheads,yarrow, wild ginger, oyster mushrooms, I feel blessed that I have 3acres of natural beauty. Have yet to dig up some wild ginger and give it a go. I just enjoy looking at and being surrounded by natural beauty.
ant picks up seed...bird picks up ant that is holding seed...bird eats ant and seed and poops it out miles away? Maybe??? :D
Maybe an ant was carrying a seed when a bird gobbled it up, and then pooped out the seed a few miles or a few hundred miles north? Nice video. I was born in that general area. Now I live in Oregon, and we have wild ginger in our garden.
That seems plausible to me...
I just found your channel. Very much enjoyed this video. I live in Louisville, Kentucky. I see Wild Ginger growing frequently in some of our area parks. Our area has never been glaciated and is dotted by frequent limestone outcroppings! Thanks for a well produced and informative video!
Wild ginger is native to Pacific Northwest. As a hiker i do see them as they are more blue green in color.
Maybe indigenous herbalist-forest-gardeners make at least as much sense as aliens? But yes, nature is crazy and wonderful and of the tiny bit we do see, there is always the vast expanse of mystery.
PLEASE PLEASE make more of these. Love everything about these videos....the quality of the info, the genuine affection and appreciation for the subject the presenter has, and the gorgeous music and videos. The most beautiful horticultural videos I have ever seen....and the zen moment they create. Thank you.
Thanks so much! We're making more!
I love these videos! I hope there will be more.
Thank you for this beautiful video and tribute to black cohosh
I love this video! Thank you. Do you know if the fuchsia colored bee balm is beneficial at all? I know you said red is most attractive.
Never heard of you until now - and I'm a fan! Great knowledge - great commentary - great shots - and great music! Thanks for inspiring me here in Illinois!
So, how does bergamot fit in this? Similar flower structurally but the color is a lavender not a bird catching red. So what is it's role?
Good question! Rather than specializing with hummingbirds, wild bergamot is pollinated by bumblebees and larger butterflies..
To me the smell is reminiscent of Diorissimo perfume. Not sure if that's a good thing but I look forward to the heavenly scent wafting through my garden each August!
Wow so beautiful! Love the softness of the narration. Thank you, we can feel the love you have for the plants.
Thanks Ottawa Wildflower Seed Library! Please help spread the word about the series if you know anyone who might be interested.
@@jaredflesher3784 already done :)
I’ve watched three of your videos so far and they are such a pleasure. They are informative but from a beautiful, soulful perspective. Your delivery is just what we need right now. Thank you. Looking forward to more.
More episodes please!!
"Ecological Disruption" ? ... You gotta to go back 10,000 years to when the Wisconsin Glacier created the land bridge between Asia and this completely uninhabited continent North and South America. No "Homo sapiens" self named 'wise ones' were here. Instead it was populated by magnificent mega fauna. As these dudes spread from North to South America the mega fauna disappeared and the continent was completely changed. Warring tribes, slavery, torture, wildfires was the name of the game. So lighten up a bit on 1492 , There's still much of the flora and fauna compared to what these first dudes accomplished.
Was a Trustee on the Ridge and Valley Conservancy when White Lake was acquired - it's one magnificent place. Thank You so much for your dedication in spreading your deep knowledge of the natural world - which actually everything on this third rock from the Sun.
Hi Jared, as a teenager in southeast Ohio in the 1970's my autumn adventure in the woods was to hunt wild ginseng. I often would pass small patches of wild ginger in the old growth woods. On one occasion I stumbled upon a abnormally huge patch of this ginger growing upon a steep hillside in the woods.On top of this ancient hill was also an ancient burial mount, more likely of the Hopewell culture. I've often felt these ancient people may have planted this particular patch some two thousand years ago.
