Moronic Symphonies, Jewel Flowers & Clarkia breweri
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- Once again we see how geology dictates floral evolution on the rocky barren habitats created by the uplifted California ocean crust, slapped on to the Western edge of the North American continent by a long-since-gone subduction zone.
Witness Arroyo Sycamore - an idyllic, Steinbeckian California tree if there ever was one - growing in a dry wash. Enter Clarkia breweri and its big-ass stigma and corolla and have your mind blown. See a #Delphinium nudicaule that's pollinated by hummingbirds.

I like it when you go deeper on a single plant; it really helps a non-initiate like me appreciate what makes a species interesting
Grim Reaper: "Ragu, you're time is up, need to come with me. Any last requests?"
Me: "Umm, now?? OK, I'd like a video tour of my PhD thesis plant, Clarkia breweri, narrated in a rant by Lewis Black, but in the voice of Elwood Blues"
Grim Reaper: "Done!"
BLESS YOU, TONY, as you continue on your "mission from God". I literally spent 5 years of my life studying "Clarkia breweri sexy time". Can't thank you enough for this video genius.
I'm here to be verbally abused and to learn.
Have a nice day! Now go fuck yourself!
same
We all are, buddy, we all are.
It feels right to submit to Master Tony
Seein’ as how we spend so much time in the dungeons...
“A single nut hanging out a purple sequined thong” Biology really is amazing.
Please do NOT make that one into a t-shirt.
ToadLord well I didn’t want to until you TOLD me NOT to.
Benjamin Murray you sound high bro
@@paradoxicalocus3761 It seems he got self-conscious and deleted his comment.
Travis Garcia eh, not tryna shame anyone, their comment just made no sense
I just did a line of jasmine pollen dust. I’m ready for the knowledge ❤️🙏
Did you get it from the Woke Grocery Store?
Me too😆
Ah, more dulcet tones from the plant whisperer, singing to my soul! Nice . . . .
El SexyTime Musica is mi bueno. I nearly snotted my cheese and tomato toastie out my nose. It brings a incredible ambience. Feel dirty again, thanks Tony
16:29 He's adding music for flower sexy time, and I dig it 🕺
Shit made me laugh so hard :D
Tony is a master of finding hidden beauty and simultaneously illuminating the obvious.
Yo, love the subtle editions to your editing style. Glad you’re having fun. The foothills around Boise and in the Owyhee wilderness is popping off right now. Busted out the key and identified a few Lupines, Delphiniums, Castilleja... I wouldn’t have gotten back into botany as hard if it weren’t for this channel and I thank you for that man. I rock your stickers on my bike. CPBBD forever.
Here in the PNW we have a really cool oak tree, Quercus garryana that looks beautiful in the few natural oak prairies we have left. I hope to have a house someday with a few of them that I can out some birdhouses into. So blessed to live in one of the only temperate rainforests in the world.
The only bad thing about this is that I could only "like" it once. You said so many things that I kept wanting to hit "like" again.
This channel is my new favorite thing. Lamiaceae is my favorite family by far.
Lamiaceae produces incredible flowers and many members are extremely easy to cultivate and share with people. Hummingbirds go batshit for inherit flowers too
@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt Yep! Also there are so many different varieties native to Northern IL where I'm from, and a lot of them are edible/medicinal. Check out the Peterson Field Guide to Eastern/Central Medicinal Plants. It's my all-time favorite book.
Fabaceae is my second favorite family. Toadflax and snapdragons are gorgeous.
Sycamore leaves make decent toilet paper, and is easier to find. Hummingbirds collect the fuzz from the underside of the leaves for nest construction. Love Ceanothus! You are hitting on some of my fave plants this time. Sisyrinchium is lovely, I planted some in a friend's garden who wanted to introduce some native plants among her many exotics. Planted Delphinium there too. Imma big fan of the whole mint-sage family myself.
Thank you for going back and adding text. I like being able to stop you and read that shit.
When you're unfamiliar with the sound of a hummingbird, it will startle you, as it sounds like a huge bee.
To me it sounds like a small drone
Happened to me just yesterday sitting on my deck, haha
Love to see your videos in familiar places in addition to all of the exotic places you've been. Didn't catch if you said where you were here but the geology and plants remind me a lot of Mount Diablo. I live down in the valley there, but do most of my hiking in the Briones hills. Between the two places I love how you can go just a few miles east and be on another botanical planet.
I have not yet seen a video of his from Mt. Diablo... Having hiked there often myself I would love to see that!!! Also since Mt. Diablo has a wealth of endemics and Botanical Treasures, it would be well worth a visit and video all it's own!!! Maybe Tony will read our requests and get himself over there and do a show for us!!! He lives in Oakland afterall so it's not very far for him to go........
There's a pretty awesome sycamore in my town called the Portola Sycamore. It's awesome to stand underneath, despite the fact it's next to the sewage treatment plant
Thanks so much, you made me laugh so hard; I really needed that. Thank you for sharing the beauty and your knowledge. Have a great week.
"It's Clarkia breweri sexy-time" and my phone is at 69%. Nice.
Your videos are a balm upon my tired, ashy soul. Thank you so, so much for sharing your amazing work!
Sounds like a basic porn soundtrack at 16.50 as you finish with the Clarkia ejaculating.
This is one of your best videos. Very informative down to very small but important details.
Your enthusiasm for Platanus racemosa is infectious. There used to be 2 planted in the Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney.
It has been used very sparingly in Sydney. Unfortunately playing second fiddle to the "London Plane". And of course the hybrid creates all sorts of problems in the city cracking up roads, footpaths and building foundations.
Some great close up shots of plants many would walk past or maybe walk over.
Took a walk around Lake Chabot yesterday, on an Angiosperm Safari. Gfys Tony, and your positive influence
California is just awesome, botanically speaking.
Very fucking interesting; mate, you always delight me with your knowledge & love of the natural world. Love that you discuss Australian genii, thanks; also, you highlight the slow work of evolution on our world, always towards adaptation, survival & tolerance of local conditions & resources. These are profound concepts to think upon & help to lend perspective to our current, difficult times. Thank you.
Tony, you have a awesome personality! Loved the video! Bless you! Have a wonderful day!!!
I think that the necrosis on the P. racemosa leaves may be anthracnose disease. Some London Plane tree varieties are resistant to the fungus, and they are good at coping with compacted earth, air pollution, heat, drought and smog (parking lots). But yes, the P. racemosa is stunningly beautiful and should be planted more.
I did my PhD on the floral scent biosynthesis of Clarkia breweri. Thank you for your videos. Wonderful.
Got a link to the paper you could post?
Damn... I just finished my soil science class and I choose this video to release the stress.
Just read that it takes 16 moles of ATP to reduce just one atmospheric nitrogen in preparation for fixation. Each glucose the bacteria gets from the host plant only gives it 30 ATP to work with, so that’s just over half a glucose per nitrogen fixated. Idk if the excess ATP is spent on the next nitrogen or if it diverts to other cellular processes but this is some fascinating chemistry
@@Robert_McGarry_Poems Xylem is dead at maturity so it's not going to be using much ATP or producing any new cells. ;)
I have spent a lot of time in Sunol Regional Wilderness and I definitely recognize some of these. Especially the sycamore. Pretty sure "W tree" in Sunol is a sycamore judging from the bark and the compound fruit on it. Thanks for the memories and new information to help me identify more!
All those little plants in the serpentine talus... I usually just glazed over them, but dang they are sweet. Love the Jewel Flower
saw a jewel flower (for the first time) on the spaulding lake trail in norCal, been thinking of it for weeks. the thing bloomed in the 30 minutes I found it! strange as hell, beautiful little purple veined petals
I've always liked to observe nature, but CPBBD is really helping me pretend to know what I'm looking at.
GFY-B.
I'm starting to learn the local plants here in the Santa Clara valley .... mostly learning invasives because a lot of those are good to eat. Malva, stuff like that.
Your content is some of the best I've seen! Thank you for what you do! cheers.
Fantastic channel even though I’m not a botanist, but I’m sure some of this will rub for on me. Keep up the entertaining and educational vids.
I have bradford pear ptsd. I don't miss gagging my way across campus in the springtime!
I've learned more about California plants here than anywhere else. Also, I've learned about banana hammocks today!
The leaves and fruit of that sycamore remind me of sweet-gum, Liquidambar styraciflua. Different bark and trunk shape though.
One could get lost for hours in sycamore bark!
@Freedog13 Indeed! It's like a tree that drops Legos, only worse! Amazing that they were a poular "street tree"!
Well they are closely related! And yeah those seed pods look nearly identical don't they? People tend to think Liquidambar is related to Acer (Maple) due to the similarly shaped leaves, but on closer inspection, it becomes clear that Plantanus and Liquidambar are kissin cousins!!! Foliage, fruit, form, growth habit... It's all there........ 🌳
The reveal of all those clarkia-flowers at 9:30 was real nice
I wish that every person who planted a Bradford Pear would stand underneath one in a thunderstorm.
Lol!! I’ve said that for years!! Buncha garbage trees!
The middle school I went to had zero trees on the property *except Bradford Pears*. Each March there was a span of a week where you had to hold your breath when you walked from building to building
Is it because it smells bad?
@@ZE308AC Yeah they are gross. Luckily they only flower for about one week out of the year
@@Eric998765 okay that's good, does it produce edible fruits?
I'm glad you passed through the filter, love this shit. I'm all edified over here.
Please come down to South Florida and talk about our Flora (and Fauna)!
Awesome photography as per usual. Thanks again.
I've always liked sycamore, they get huge in southern Michigan.
Me too man, they're great in the valleys down south from there, cool trees in general but since they grow at the edge if the water theres always a few that dont get cut and actually do get big, they arent actually big compared to the old growth thats been continuously cut, but since that doesn't exist anywhere its nice to see a tree actually get some size, pitiful that we cut every single tree east if the Mississippi tho, unbelievably really but the proof is right there
@@swayback7375 I'm on a farm with a relatively well stewarded forest compared to any of the clearcutting nearby, but among the reasons to cut a log - density, dead, dying, DIAMETER stands out. Again, better forest than most around here, but there is an explicit management decision on this private property to prevent old growth from occurring. This is reflected again in the endless acres of previously clearcut young regrowth. Why are Americans so afraid of old trees?
@@tylerehrlich1471 I thought you were advocating cutting until the very last line where you ask why were scared of big trees, maybe it was just me but I couldn't tell what your point was.
But yea, ppl love to cut a tree!
I think most people would happily cut down all of them around and still complain about all the tree cutting and consequences of it.
A neighbor just wiped out an old tree line so he could "see" .
Its was only a single row but the trees were good cheery and walnut mostly, he didnt sell the wood, just cut it all down.
The largest tree in Buffalo is a sycamore, they got a little placard on it saying so. It's a big old bastard with the base about the size of a car. It's pretty much right downtown too. It's kinda leaning over the street a little but still really healthy.
Fosho
I really want to grow that tree but alas in Georgia it’s too hot and too cold.
Great Show--Califórnia Has Great Flora--In Response to Your Challenge--Go Get Layed On A Rolling Donut!!!!
GFY have a Nice day Joey
thanks for the great lesson, as per usual-
Just commenting and thumbs up for algorithm while the ads play, I keep trying to listen to this but it's not good, I gotta make time to sit and watch these or I miss all the good!
I watch your videos all the time bro don’t even know anything about botany but I find it fascinating how you recognise all the geniuses 👌👌
"Anyway, enough about the ladder"
I think I found another criterion to add to my list of what makes a decent ladder
What species of hummingbird did you see? I am in Florida, but I get some male Ruby-Throated worked up enough sometimes that they attack me too. So much fun
Also, go fuck yourself bye.
Those white flowers are they related to the liylack bush ?
Man U would make a great teacher
No... Ceanothus common name is "California Lilac" but only because it has a similar appearance to Syringa (Lilac)... In fact they are not even in the same family........
We don’t need a hand-lens. Keep this botany of the people, for the people.
One of your very best, thank you Tony.
I had to put one of my dogs down today and this is just what the wife and I needed. Thanks as always for doing what you do. Bonus points for the porn soundtrack! GFY!
What's the reason for the structure of the bark you see with sycamores, how they are layered and chip easy? Always wondered if there was some evolutionary reason behind that.
They chip easy but have lots of fibrous hairs that get in your lungs and throat and get irritated, not fun if you're a tree removal person
I've always wondered if many trees use loose bark to kill the occasional squirrel for fertilization purposes; nitrogen ,phosphorus etc
You're my guru. Please f yourself
Robert McGarry Neat, thanks for the information.
I saw a wild pitcher plant in orangevale/folsom nearby the nimbus aquatic center. It was climbing a tree like a vine. Is there a safe way to propagate this plant?
Hey man, are you out by Peninsula Park on Rattlesnake Bar... just a bit past Cool? (or what? haha)
Love the tree info, could learn about trees all day. Any use in studying arboriculture or forestry or anything like that as far as jobs go?
New here. Assume this guy's been called the Joey Diaz of botany once or twice?
Jeez, I didn’t realize that one of my favorite trees is an atrocity! 😥
Stick around and get a new favorite tree 😁
鷹大尉 I love it!
James Parker Ha!
Oh alright. I’ll go out on a limb and pick....Bradford pear.
That Streptanthus is the prettiest cabbage I ever saw
Where'd you find that clarkia? I live on the Central Coast of CA with lots of serpentine around, but have never seen that particular species.
Central coast ranges
@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt Thanks! Any way you could be more specific, like what county you were in ... any town(s) you were near ...??
If you find Jepson Herbarium online, enter in the name and you should get a distribution map that will show you the range of the plant you are looking for! Jepson Herbarium is the ultimate authority on California Native Plants........
@@rachiesayd9423 Thanks. I use Jepson all the time, but never really looked into their distribution maps. I was just hoping Tony might be more forthcoming about his location, but oh well ...
Oh god please do a video on the Bradford Pear tree and their obscene scent.
you can see the resemblance to radish,from the Jewel plant.
just got your hoodie in the mail recently and i love it. high quality and the print is badass. thanks.
I got one of the T-shirts. It’s really soft and not too thick. Very comfortable.
I got 3 T-shirts and 1 mask that says "Stop Humanity" on it!!! Everything is nice soft cotton and very comfortable!!! Happy customer!!! Highly recommend!!!
Where did you get your botany magnifying glass? Could you send a link?
The Barry White of Botany. Show you right.
The Delphinium nudicaule's shape reminds me of our Wild Columbine (Aquilegia Canadensis) here in the Upper Midwest.
You beat me to it! I've been growing native columbine for a few years now and the similarity with delphinium is striking, even including the seed pods! I guess they're cousins in ranunculaceae. The buttercup family. The only native delphinium in the Eastern US is tall larkspur, but there's lots of other members of the family.
Custom made for the hummingbirds! Love anything with spurs.
@@katiekane5247 Absolutely!
Both plants are in the same family! (Ranunculaceae)
Not sure of this platanus, but Eastern Sycamore very susceptible to Anthracnose. The leaves on your tree look infected, but usually happens in wetter conditions.
I was going to say, too. First leaves of the native sycamores out here in eastern Alameda County get nailed by anthraconose most years, sometimes completely defoliated, with even a hint of drizzle or precip after March/early April. New, clean leaves to replace the ones lost to fungus will appear in early summer.
The new species discovered by Julie Nelson is Phacelia damnatio - the Damnation Peak Phacelia. Keep looking, new species are being found all the time.
In defense of Mr. Reubens, it was "that kind of theater" showing "that kind of movie"...
That said, Tony, if you're going to GF yourself, don't do it in public!
Tommy Petraglia did he bring an extra sock, or did he have one bare foot when he left the theatre?
That Clarkia is a beaut. So dainty and tough.
Me staring at the red flower: "Is that a red delphinium?"
CPBBD: Member of the Ranunculaceae - Delphinium nudicaule
Never seen a Red Delphinium before. :)
lolz at the Clarkia brewerii bit. Did you notice the stigmas of the two types were different colors?
There is also a pretty yellow form as well!!! Then another species D. Californicum which has blue/purple flowers and sometimes they all grow together and create quite the show!!! Also there are about 50 or so different species of Delphinium native to California!!! We are indeed blessed........ 🌱
singing:'hold me close tiny bastard' xD nearly pisd m'self
You should come to the Texas Panhandle... I bet you'd like it...
WAS LOOKIN FOR AN "INDUMENTUM" DROP AND ONLY HAD TO WAIT 3 MINS...I CAME
hi, very entertaining and informative videos. My friend said that one of the videos has a list of botany books to read, does anyone know which video?
Just keep looking! Seek and ye shall find........
"Hold me closer tiny bastard" hilarious!
Nice flower footage after the buckwheat
Looks like a nice place to just wonder around I live in Florida so we don't get those landscapes
my drop of fresh air with commentary fit for james joyce.
Whats your favourite species of palm?
(mine is Marojejya darianii or Pinanga disticha)
Clearly you've never had to clean up the leaves from a 100 year old, 80 foot Platanus racemosa in your yard. The damn thing tries to bury me alive every December. They are great in nature but not by your house. I do have to admit the thing is a beast of a tree though. I measured the trunk and it's about 18 feet circumference and about 7-8 feet in diameter
It's good for mulching your yard to build your soil.
That’s a beautiful tree. Wow 18 foot circumference; thats almost redwood size.
I think that when scientist research plate tectonics they often forget that the moon was born
First thing I thought of when seeing sycamore leaves....dinosaur foot!
tHE bEST Narrator on RUclips is Tony! : )
Hey you leave pinus canariensis alone! :p
When you see them in the canary islands they are amazing! Some of the biggest pine in the world!
Drake Elm is a great grower too.
200% feeling the outro. What a fucking dumpster fire fiesta is going on now a days. Thanks for making content thats grounded in reality. Little beacon of hope in a sea of stupidity.
Thongs are a recurring theme in your videos.. You gotta collection or something? I have been spendong the past few weeks seeing what my yard actually wants to grow and classifying them. Got a ton of triphyllum arisama. Love the hooded bastards looking like thugs with their hoods.
@crimes pays but Botany doesn't can you eat any kind of cactus ?
yes
Anyone wondering what 16:29 music is... Benzoin Gum from MF Doom. The entire album is just songs just songs named after spices. Good listen for ya plant freaks out there
Your videos are a breath of fresh air to me. Thank you!
Platanus occidentalis is my favorite tree. Carry on, I need the abuse.
I'm just here for the herbivory.
I found a seed that I thought was a Walnut in a batch of soil I had and it had a root growing out of it. So I planted it. It took about 2 weeks to emerge and when it did it seemed to be albino. Any information you have on albino mutations would be appreciated great videos your fucken funny.
P.S.
I edited this because voice text interpreted walnut as walmart. Must be the marbles in my mouth. Lol
All white indicates no sunshine! Any plant not producing chlorophyll will not live very long! Or if your sprout came up quickly, it may not have had time to turn green yet... Wait and see if it does....
Can you please go to Oklahoma and look at the wild flowers then drive a few hours in your in a completely different ecoregion
The crosstimbers are especially neat.
