I clicked on this video so fast because I remember last time when you shared a bit of a rant after a fresh grating left no sign of the milkweeds. So glad to see them sticking it out still.
Sometimes our milkweeds in vermont will grow a purple phenotype. I always spread the seeds around, as far as I can throw em. Many more people are growing them for the butterflies.
what an amazing milkweed. the leaves and flowers are other worldly. you can't drive by at breakneck speed and observe the wonders of nature. thank you for sharing.
I was so excited when I saw this video because I was hoping you were filming back in the RGV! This year I had a personal project to try and photograph native bees and wasps and the plants they preferred. I have had an easier time remembering plants since watching your videos. Thank you for the education that actually sticks with me!!
Thanks for everything. I really enjoy the map zooms at the start of the videos and the still shots of the flowers throughout. The quality just keeps getting better and and better. Keep rockin on!
Some thing 100 million years in the future would fight wars for this footage. Some kinda highly intelligent plant people looking for their missing link
@14:58 Wow those blooms! Milkweed going off! I'd have never guessed that plant making its home in the road was a rare milkweed. Beautiful! Just imagine what that area looked like before things like buffelgrass and grading..... Someday, maybe in a parallel universe, Tony will come down here to the everglades and check out all the epiphytes!
I totally agree Legalizing yote would help to preserve the species in its wild habitat, it’s actually easy to grow and in Thailand where it’s legal they grow it in mass numbers out of its natural habitat. What I’m saying is if people could cultivate it, the numbers of peyote would multiply and no longer be threatened.
I would love you to eventually explore the Sonoran Desert, its such a good place to observe desert botanical diversity. Edit: a little bit of digging revealed that he already covered the Sonoran Desert
They do the roads like that because if they don't spend all the money allotted to them by the feds they get less next year. Its the same with fed money recipients like, prisons, the military, others I'm sure.
The problem is that that's the best they can come up with. Depending on the he department in charge of them, surely there's something constructive to do? It still speaks, in my mind, to Tony's exasperation.
There are other great plants for butterfly gardens like purple coneflower/Echinacea, bee balm and butterfly bush (the native species) to name a few. Monarchs are obligate milkweed feeders.
beautiful little caterpillar! the Pipevines really are a crowd favorite, and that one looked far along. Maybe fourth or fifth instar. Also just wanted to say caterpillars chrysalize, which you are correct in saying metamorphisize as chrysalizing is a form of metamorphisis
My asclepiuses might struggle here - 700m up in rich volcanic soil.... oooh. They haven't evolved for this. They're still going, but slowly. It's early summer here in Australia. Great video - all these little treasures underfoot..
I have to admit I'm enjoying your videos a lot :D I like how raw and expressive you are. You make me want to go back, finish my Biology degree and become a Botanist ;) You just awaken that passion for plants again in me :D
There have been very few jaguar and ocelot sightings in Texas but i know they have Mountain lions for sure, as far north as Castroville and around the Hill country
That is right. The Texas brush lands and the brush lands of Arizona are especially great places to find and see unusual animals (and plants) from the tropical south. jaguarundis and bobcats like to live in those places as well!
Oh definitely. We'd here them near the Frio year after year. Also we've had ocelot sighting as far north as necessary county in recent years!! Exciting!
I heard about the sightings. It’s also possible that they may just be escaped pets. Apparently you can own anything you want as a pet in Texas without a permit or license.
Yo Tony I didn’t get where the locality you are in is at, but in Janos (Chihuahua) las registered jaguar killed was les than 20 years ago, one of my university teachers Dr. Gatica registered this for the North corredor, the UACJ has part of the cranium (having the whole thing would make it illegal for the university to posses without a permit) and we did some really good work field botanical inventory if you are interested this was under the name “inventario multitaxonomico de medanos de Samalayuca” I was part of it and we registered a fuck load of cool shit (botanically speaking) UTEP & NMSU collaborated with us.
@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt thank you dude, I have learned a lot from you’re videos, the simple explanations with right terminology makes it simple to know what to look for, I have to add much of the terminology since I studied in Mex. comes some what difficult but nothing a good scientific terminology book can’t solve. Keep the videos coming and please keep looking into Asteraceae these are the ones I work with most.
I have a question that is way off topic, but it is about adaptation What adaptation does Witch Hazel have that protects its blossoms in the winter? I live in Louisville, Kentucky. There are some Witch Hazel bushes at a park my dog and I visit. It blooms in January-March here.
@@haseo8244 Thank you for answering my question. I looked up what pollinated Witch Hazel. It is some species of moth, I believe. An interesting plant… and oh the fragrance!
Has Asclepias prostrata entered cultivation and if not would it be a good candidate for it? Also, what your opinion on using the publics garden for ex situ conservation?
I know a few people that grow it but due to the nature of it going dormant for 2 or 3 years sometimes people often end up thinking it's dead and throwing it out. It is certainly worth trying in a public botanic garden though, is that would be an important stock seed source
I kinda would like to grow Ascelepias prostrata as well because I’m big on monarchs and all that. Also I’d have the patience to keep them as I’d just distract myself with other milkweed plants that grow all year and just let it be.
Asclepias with a tarantula hawk shout out- it just made my day. The tarantula hawk wasp is an amazing creature. Huge, blue, with orange wings and really rough on a tarantula. Hard to imagine, but this part of the wild kingdom can be found in Austin.
@@gardengatesopen And in my yard just west of Mopac. I have seen a few dozen tarantulas over the years but just the one hawk dragging the tarantula along the curb. I got a bit too close and it let me know with a crazy display. Disturbing and beautiful.
@TheStereoClub They ARE wild to see, I agree!! I once was kneeling down, checking out a really big garden spider in the center of its web. It was one of those big ones with yellow on it. I think people call them banana spiders? Anyway, as I'm leaning in to get a closer look, this tarantula hawk comes swooping in from behind me and just instantly killed that spider, and then flew away with it!! I admit, I was a bit shocked! At the time, I didn't know about tarantula hawks, and honestly, I felt a little bit guilty, as if I had been an unknowing apprentice in that spider's demise! Like maybe I had been distracting the spider, and the T. Hawk took advantage of the situation! Ha! Of course, it would've happened with or without me! I can't imagine having witnessed what you saw! The size difference alone is just crazy!! I live outside of Austin, on the Northwest side, whete the Hill Country starts, and I love seeing the tarantulas walking around over here!! They're really only seen during mating season, it's a real treat. I wouldn't want to witness a tarantula hawk in its full hunting glory like you did!!
This conversation makes me uncomfortable. Also I’m pretty sure we got those blue wasps up here in the Chicago burbs. I mean.. nah, I’ll leave the jokes for sommat else. 😁
Best South African back to South Texas Morphology Evah!!! Solid Brother, wish my basic Ass Naturalist Skills were anywhere near your amazing observations and Commentary!!!
Great vid! Thanks for filming this, really looking forward to more Texas vids, you exposed me to great California botany, Texas should be a banger for arid plants
This might be an odd request, but could you do a video about aquatic plants? I run a fish discord and have been getting into aquariums plants pretty hard. I always forget to water plants and guess what happens to plants in tanks.... You never need to water them. XD
working on making dead common milkweed into yarn. then I see you went on a nature walk that includes a milkweed I've NEVER heard of! that makes me really happy. are you going to try and propagate the prostrate milkweed? does it produce seeds like the common milkweed? have you seen dogbane anywhere in berkshire county mass? looking everywhere in my hood for it. :( i want to make dogbane yarn! i want to grow it in pots and the community garden. biiig shrub pots for dogbane! I got a chuckle out of you being so entranced by the cactus flower that you missed the peyote literally right next to it. XD
Didn't miss it. Just seen plenty of peyote to not be so taken with it anymore. There were about eleven others in that same frame. This milkweed is pretty rare and endangered. I think San Antonio Botanic Garden is growing some of it. It needs to be propagated more and preserved in case the wild populations are destroyed.
I wonder if it would be possible to take those A. prostrata that are on the road there and dig them up and move them to a more stable protected habitat. Or maybe take some of the damaged ones and try and rehab them ex situ.
Yeah, you never know how any plant will take to being dug, from garden plants to rare natives. Plus, he pointed out the invasive buffel grass's destructive march across the terrain..it might not end well for A. prostrata. Seed collection might be a way, would you think?
@@KHwut Yes digging up plants from wild habitat is never good for the plant. However, if the alternative is getting mulched from a road grading or fence line, I think trying to move them or rehab them in a controlled setting where the plant can be treated is a better alternative. I also do agree though that seed collection would be a good idea as well. I wouldn't mind trying to grow some if I could obtain some seed.
i love how no matter where you are in the world, way out in the boonies, or at the bottom of the ocean, you'll always find a good ol trash bag... ahh reminds me of home
Caryophylales have betalain pigments, all other bois have anthos. Usually it's cacti and Caryophylaceae that you see out in the wild in that order. Well, at least where I live
Sorry if someone has already said this but: yes the changing of a caterpillar to butterfly is called metamorphosis. However, butterflies do not use cocoons. They use a chrysalis. But what's the difference, you may ask? Allow me to tell you! A chrysalis is made of hardened proteins that the butterfly makes and then hardens when ready to pupate into a butterfly. A cocoon is woven with silk that a caterpillar makes before curling up inside and becoming a moth.
I was always looking at it as a wasteland. This is so amazing and I can’t thank you enough. I can’t wait to go exploring again and see things in a different light I never expected.
3:30 What I know about these plants are that they are some of the first plants EVER to come out Plants first used photosynthesis in their stems and then evolved leaves that had a better efficiency in more temperate conditions. (IE, heat, because earth was supposed to be MUCH hotter in its history. I just watched a video about prehistoric plants the other day. lol) But the high heat doesn't usually allow for big leaves, and took BILLIONS of years to get there, and the cooling of the earth. Even though we are back up on the rise now.... But it's fairly chill compared to the past.
I feel like this wasn't the EXACT video, I swear I had one with more depth... But I can't find it and that one still works I think to show off what I mean.
Mom, there is a man yelling at a caterpillar in the bushes.
I'm not over eating, I'm cooking up carbs to store in my underground tuber so I can flower next year.
You are the single best thing to happen to botany in the last century. Thank you for the AMAZING content.
The fart during the land clearing part totally threw me off, I thought my partner had just ripped the loudest fart ever
I planted 100 milk weeds this fall on our organic farm, we had a dozen wild ones pop up. Really hoping to see a monarch army next year
Do a controlled burn and see the power of common milkweed
@@fredhall8089 im a big fan of control burns.
ruclips.net/video/nheNhjWY4-w/видео.html
That’s so cool! My Grandparents in the 20’s to late 50s had them growing in their ditches just to help the monarchs and other species that like it.
I just have 2 hackberry trees in my backyard, full grown. I see snoutnose butterflies and others all the time
As a Texan that grew up in the monté from Freer to corpus Christi (and now lives in Austin), I LIVE for these Texas videos.
The repeated display of plant names is AWESOME for learning retention. Asclepias Prostrata!
I clicked on this video so fast because I remember last time when you shared a bit of a rant after a fresh grating left no sign of the milkweeds. So glad to see them sticking it out still.

Mark Fishbein was my first plant taxonomy teacher back in 2002! Great guy and THE MAN on Asclepias. Glad to hear his name mentioned.
I love this guy. No nonsense knowledge about all things.

Congrats on finally seeing the Asclepius Prostrata in bloom! What an exciting moment. 😁
You got a great location to film. Thank you for showing the wild peyotes. I hope you collected the plastic waste.
Ahhh yeah! Love those milkweeds. Thanks so much, Joey & cheers, from Southern Oregon, where the quakes are rolling right now offshore.
They're incredible. I've only ever seen Canadian ones.
I love the close up views. This area is truly a unique paradise. Thanks for the tour.
Plant some milkweed everyone please, nature needs us right now.
They do the roads like that because if they don't spend all the money allotted to them by the feds they get less next year. Its the same with fed money recipients like, prisons, the military, others I'm sure.
The problem is that that's the best they can come up with. Depending on the he department in charge of them, surely there's something constructive to do? It still speaks, in my mind, to Tony's exasperation.
Applies to water usage as well. Use it & or lose it right?
They should spend their money on plant conservation instead.
Time to get creative 😂❤
Love your south Texas video as a transplant to the area they're great for more native landscaping ideas
Love my Milkweed plants ... Their flowers are so cool & Monarchs come all around my porch
There are other great plants for butterfly gardens like purple coneflower/Echinacea, bee balm and butterfly bush (the native species) to name a few. Monarchs are obligate milkweed feeders.
Really pretty little plant! Do the butterflies like that kind? Monarch butterfly? Our milk weed gets much bigger!
They like all milkweed species and use the native species all up & down their migratory flight.
The farting noise at every mention of Panda Express really kicked it up a notch in my opinion.
beautiful little caterpillar! the Pipevines really are a crowd favorite, and that one looked far along. Maybe fourth or fifth instar. Also just wanted to say caterpillars chrysalize, which you are correct in saying metamorphisize as chrysalizing is a form of metamorphisis

Another great video!
So your milkweed there has Anthocyanin. Other plants get their red from Betalain. How do you tell 'em apart?
Only plants in the order Caryophyllales produce betalain pigments
Caryophylales have betalain pigments, all other bois have anthos.
Usually it's cacti and Caryophylaceae that you see out in the wild in that order. Well, at least where I live
That bag is invasive.
the bottles look like they might have reproduced. and here I thought they were sterile hybrids.
Sorry if someone has already said this but: yes the changing of a caterpillar to butterfly is called metamorphosis. However, butterflies do not use cocoons. They use a chrysalis.

Are there any star cactus astrophytum s in the area that you've seen
What does that podaxis pistillaris feed on? Decaying plant roots?
Good question. I still haven't figured that. Must be roots, yeah. I always see it in rather inorganic soils.
Serious plant knowledge. I would love to learn. Btw I didn’t see any army of desperate Mexicans trying to get across the river. That’s strange.
