this may sound fucking cringy but its true, watching these videos helps lift my wintertime depression, and the frank, insightful misanthropy and spontaneous profanity puts a smile on my face and makes me laugh out loud.
Until a plant gets itself into walmart or home depot, the majority won't plant them. Unfortunately. Its sad to see the lawns around here all with the exact same plants, non native. Sure they're pretty, but redundant in my opinion.
As a whole, the genus Calochortus is known for being difficult in cultivation. I live in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, and C. tolmiei is common in the right habitat and relatively easy to grow, but requires acid soil that drains well and stays dry in the summer. The bulk of diversity in the genus occurs across CA, and many are unsuitable for suburban gardens because they are endemic to specific soil types, many of those are endangered by land conversion and bulb collecting, and at least one is extinct. What region do you live in? If you can match a regionally-common Calochortus species to a client with the right conditions, it might work, but (in this case) there are good reasons that only a few dedicated people work with the genus.
@@billjamal4764, that is true for people who look for plants in those places, but if you search for native plant nurseries in your area, you could be surprised. A lot of the really good nurseries are run by older folks who may not be internet-savvy enough to run a website. For example, I know a native plant nursery south of Portland, OR that does not maintain a website but grows (from seed!) and sells rare/uncommon natives, with an especially good selection for xeriscapes and rock gardens. Try searching for native plant nurseries in your area; you might find something you never knew existed.
I was just at Yellowstone 2 weeks ago, and you inspired me to do some roadside botany (and read up on geology) while I was there, so this is awesome to see! definitely prevented homicide of shitty tourists real nice 👍
Death in Yellowstone is a fascinating book filled with all the really dumb ways tourists have figured out how to die in Yellowstone. Love Yellowstone. It's a gorgeous place.
Hey Joey! Love the content. The bulbous structure at the apical tip of the bladderwort is called a turion. It is an asexual propagule formed at the meristems of many aquatic macrophytes.
The turion! And the functional equivalent in some other carnivorous plants (like pinguicula) is the “hibernaculum”. Different name but just another asexual perennial solution to keep the genes from drying up and croaking when the well runs dry.
Interesting, that's what we call emerging asparagus (and bamboo) in France. Apparently it also designates a shoot or sprout. www.wnps.org/blog/turion-confusion
Been waiting years to see some Northwestern stuff on here -- you outta get up into the PNW sometime, go pick up all the endemics in the Olympics, Cascades, or Vancouver Island.
Really love this look at Yellowstone. When I went, it was for the Geology and Fauna. This Floral look at the Caldera is unique and has a vast library of the plants Yellowstone has to offer. Next time I go, I'll take more snapshots of the plant life.
A view of Yellowstone that most will never see... and one of it's most beautiful. I love going off the beaten path and discovering Mother Nature's hidden treasures.... Thanks for the tour :)
Yes this is definitely the best ive felt in a couple weeks.. You dont realize the quality content you produce!! Getting to see yellowstone is something unobtainable at the moment or anything beyond work at home currently. You're doing a public service and arw very under appreciated my friend!!!!
Comment 211 apocalyptic day 621 22th of August 2021 Gregorian. From start to finish, fascinating. Your brash sense of humor to insult us all at the ended didn't put a downer on the good presentation and expertise of botanical species . Thanks very much! Cheers! Holy 1 Charlie.
Turions! Those little buggers will break off and sink down to the bottom of the pond to overwinter, then they grow into new plants in the spring. A bit like the topset bulbs on walking onions.
2 negative comments but they didn't dare comment.... Hmmmm... Scared trolls in the corner. Love the content. Appreciate your presence here on this rock.
Earth 2 is a very fine album (a double album, in fact). At some point I decided I like my drone music less dark and I migrated to Jliat and Lamonte Young.
👍👍 I've been to Yellowstone 22 times more if you count the way back home Flyfishing America! One year we were there a guy jumped into a hotspring to save his dog 🚫 Not a good idea! More Yellowstone!!!
I forgot to post this on your videos when you were there but I hope you enjoyed the UP and had a good time in Marquette. I love that city and the surrounding nature. I hope you tried some of the amazing local food!
Tony/Joey, I’m more and more convinced that you should illustrate and publish a book on, well, you could just do flowers. Your tremendous amount of knowledge and insight into botany is fascinating. Yes, you are really fun to listen to. “Penstamens” and “volicker” here. Do I really have to look them up on someone else’s site? It should be on your book or published on the your website. It would help me remember locations, environments, terms and structures that you gasp at. P.S. Your conversation in the car and diner in Chicago was AMAZING. I could definitely see it as a real thing you’d be involved in. Thank you
Never seen a poppy like that. Very different I might not understand most of what your saying with the amazing flora but enjoy your videos. Learn something new every video.
Hey. Where were you 14yrs ago when I was there on my Honeymoon? I could have used your help navigating the complexities of the Yellowstone Basin summer driving season while yelling at that little kid to stay away from that big male Bison in Lamar Valley. Poor kid, hope he grew up ok. One of the most beautiful places on Earth, decimated daily by tourists, both foreign and domestic. Best time to travel Yellowstone is during dinner time. Who woulda knew?
at thickened deal on the bladderwort is the beginning of a "turion", the plant's wintering form. . Turion is a dense form with EXTREMELY short internodes. They look like balls of moss, and they float and drift in the water. Before I knew this, I collected some of these mystery moss-balls and dropped them into a tropical fish aquarium for shits and giggles. The nodes almost immediatly lengthened, and I had an aquarium full of Badderwort.
Went to Yellowstone in 2016 and wish I had seen this video beforehand. In my case I think I’m more interested in the scenery especially in these wonderful areas. I think I need to pay more attention to what’s in my view in the ground in front of me.
@Tony - The _Nuphar polysepala_ has such a luxurious and _UNXIOUS_ flower, *WOW!* One immediate thought was "Is any part of that beauty _EDIBLE?"_ Wish I could travel about with you, just to see all the interactions between flora & geologies, first hand . Thank you so very much for all your edifying videos; marvelous. 🌲😉🖖 *Pax vobiscum!* 🌼🐝
I actually watched a Taco Bell ad before this vid, it can only get better from there! Glad you're getting some pennies from them 😂 you could get some good food with it. Damn, I love these vids!
"Did ya get a moment of calm?" Yeah, yeah I did. Thank you. The narrations match my own internal dialogue so perfectly, that it takes a break when I'm watching these vids. lol Edits - words and dots. TGFYB.
You're an amazing Find, Sir. Like some glorious and crazy sport. I'm fascinated by your videos, your massively-freaking-awesome-content and your delivery as well. You are as exotic to my ear as any of the plants you talk about in such glorious detail! As someone with a distinct accent, that would be Hillbilly, I am fascinated by your fascinating accent. You're making my century, and I am enamored!
Any chance Penstemon strictus would grow on silty clay loam up by Volo, IL? That color blue is just amazing! Also, please don't stand so close to the boiling water, eh? Eh?
Sorry this is late -- Grew P. strictus years ago in NE Indiana; it's not as persnickety as many western beardtongues. Did great in a hot dry year, but I lost it in a cold wet spring. (the plant was getting old too -- penstemons do best as young plants; they tend to croak by year 3 or 4) I imagine silty loam would be right up its street if you can keep it on the dry side. It. Is. Freaking. GORGEOUS -- damn, now I want to try it again myself.
@@lauraainslie6725 I'm always torn on whether or not to grow plants that are not from my region. I love Coreopsis tinctoria also, and it's native to just West of the Mississippi, but again, it's not from this region.
@@aprilkurtz1589 Sarracenia are the easiest to grow in most places, as long as the water supply is clean and not too salted up. Well, maybe some of the less exciting sundews and bladderworts are even easier because they are basically weeds in my Sarracenia pots! But they all are so darn interesting. Never underestimate the diversity of life out there! That helps appreciate what is being lost every day as we “pave over paradise” (how much do we have to pay Tony to sing a couple bars of that one 😂)
Very unique tour and interesting viewpoint of Yellowstone habitat! It's amazing that plants developed hairy leaves in hot environments to lower their surface temperature. Photosynthesis efficiency declines as leaf temperatures exceed 25°C. The hairs allow leaf temperatures to be lower than air temperature.
Hey you should do a video on the plants being threatened by Line 3 in Minnesota. Really it threatens the whole Mississippi river if (when) it spills, but you could start in Minnesota.
Tony incredible how you are seemingly able to identify plants that you could never have seen in person before. I often think I'd love to have what you identify, but no way can anyone ever obtain what you show not to mention the risks of intoducing non native plants.
God DAMN! I was listening to meditation music, sniffing the incense and all, all calm and then hit this notification and instant YAAAA ! eh hell you know I love it you fn prick.
Calochortus Nutallii is the state flower of Utah, and I know the guys up at Utah State University have really tried to get that flower to grow reliably, but for some reason it's finicky in cultivation.
Wasn't aware of the genus Calochortus, I'm still just learning a hell of a lot from these videos. Peaking new interest in certain genera! I think I'm going to order some seed(or bulbs in this case right?) of Calochortus and start propagating some to learn more about it!
I can find seeds online but I can't find any real info on starting them or propagation. I assume they need cold stratification and prob 3 years until they bloom? I don't know
this may sound fucking cringy but its true, watching these videos helps lift my wintertime depression, and the frank, insightful misanthropy and spontaneous profanity puts a smile on my face and makes me laugh out loud.
as a native garden designer, i was blown away by the calochortus eurycarpus. amazing! you're right... why aren't more folks planting this?

Don't want to accidentally kill cats 😬
Often slow growing but once you get them established native bulb flowers are great.

The amount of interesting plants if you only stop driving by crowded entrance roads to look at elk panicking to cross the street.
You said it. Stop. Driving.

Ayyy! I’m a fan from Humboldt County, CA! I graduated from Humboldt State as a Botany Major!
I watched this as I had my first cup of coffee and started my Friday off calm and smiling. Thank you Tony
Been waiting years to see some Northwestern stuff on here -- you outta get up into the PNW sometime, go pick up all the endemics in the Olympics, Cascades, or Vancouver Island.
I second this.
He did some Redwoods stuff a few weeks ago, but yeah would be cool to see OlyNP on here
He's actually done a lot in northern CA/southern OR. There's actually more diversity in that region than in most of the rest of the Pacific Northwest.
Isn't it funny how Arctostaphylos uva-ursi literally means "Beargrapes beargrapes?"
You are correct. That is funny.
Thanks for the walk-n-talk. I thought the sand wasps were charismatic. Altogether great content, couple bison.
I've been having a hard day, this definitely gave me a moment of calm. Thank you.
We say 'lovely' a lot in UK. Lovely place lovely plants, lovely flowers. :) I almost forgot - lovely man.
Really love this look at Yellowstone. When I went, it was for the Geology and Fauna. This Floral look at the Caldera is unique and has a vast library of the plants Yellowstone has to offer. Next time I go, I'll take more snapshots of the plant life.

Does a helluva job! Casper!

The color of those Penstemon... friggin amazing. I love how he ended the video on a buffalo chip too.
Awesome job on the video. One of your best! Really enjoyed the diversity. Ty so much!
Glad you brought up the scent of that verbena. I was hoping it smelled good. 👍🏾

Ahh yeah! Getting into some hot water there. Loved the Calochortus eurycarpus. Thanks for this, & cheers from Southern Oregon.
Turions! Those little buggers will break off and sink down to the bottom of the pond to overwinter, then they grow into new plants in the spring. A bit like the topset bulbs on walking onions.
its so amazing to see the seeping hot springs in the waters of the Yellowstone lake walking along the shoreline.
i got several moments of calm, thanks.
I found some interesting things near the river by Lone Star Geyser last time I went. Such an amazing place.
Your midwest "PAHHNS!" had me snort my tea. Thanks for another great video, love it.

Abronia ammophila- the name just rolls off the tongue. NICE. Sounds like it could have some Italian lineage in the woodpile there.😉

Hope you made it by Lamar Valley!
This is episode is what you call “a banger ass episode”.
Come hang out with me! I’ll meet you on the top of the Beartooth pass. I’m going up there to watch shooting stars tonight
"What about that band Earth, ya ever listen to them? It's like massage metal." 😍

Fascinating; thanks.
We were there a few weeks ago. 8 mile line for old faithful………. Love the vids man. Cheers!
Very informative and nice. Thank You good Sir.
