Your videos are like plant id snacks
Its unbelievable how biodiverse prairies are. Most people think its just a bunch of grass. It makes me happy to see your excitment over big blue stem. Im a big fan too. Also long live the liatrus!
living in the midwest myself, you’ve got me reading up on local natives and using these featured genera as a jumping off point, so i gotta thank you for making flora knowledge so easily accessible
really loving this midwestern series. the native prairies in the region i grew up in are amazingly beautiful and diverse places. it's such a shame they're dying out so fast. i'm in my mid 20s but i feel like an old person when tell people "when i was a kid there was wildlife here," but that's just because our culture is so fucked up
This series is really helping me appreciate the sort of plants that I normally recoil from. Where I live, any sort of tall forb is probably invasive, so I have an instinctive reaction to seeing whole fields of them since they look so weedy to my eyes. But learning about how they all work together in their native ecosystem is giving me a new appreciation.
Yay thistles! I actually found some native thistles at a local nursery... Sadly they're kind of dying and one of them got dug up and eaten, I guess because wildlife is like OH MY GOD YOU PLANTED SOMETHING I COULD EAT and they're starving probably but I'm hoping at least one of them will survive to re-seed next year. What is really effed is that people have released all these non-native biological controls for invasive thistles, which actually damage our native thistles more, not to mention that no one can tell the difference between natives and invasives because no one cares about them, and people kill the native thistles they have because they're just afraid of that anything that looks like a thistle because they think it is a weed! They are SO important as a late nectar source for bees and butterflies, and the seeds are very important for birds. Plant native thistles people, ask your local nurseries to carry them!
Mah-velous! Your video should be made available to biology students everywhere. And don't think they're not familiar with and enjoy obscenities. Great job. Thank you.
I really like the Liatris you guys have over there. I found a beautiful big patch of it on some remnant prairie at a graveyard in central Saskatchewan a couple of years back. I guess I was there at the right time because the whole place was humming, like a coral reef.
Had to repeat the Spiranthes joke 🤣 What a fantastic fucking place! I sure didn't appreciate this aspect of hort when I was an Illinois resident. Much ad I love your travels, this series is by far my favorite.
This entire video was a real eye opener for me. Ive lived in Qc Canada and liatris iz boomin come spring/summer. Also The Hydroponic(BEFORE SOIL) setup for comparison was GENIUS. @Crime Pays But botany doesn't : a video in Quebec would be nice to show the catastrophes of phragmite 'grass' its beuatifull but wow talk about a provincial takeover.
Check out today's post on "why evolution is true" by Jerry Coyne. He has a paper on like eight different orchids evolving to leave their pollina on different parts of the same bee. (So the different pollen will go to the correct orchid.)
Rudebeckia laciniata "5-6' tall .." ? :PPP 8-9' ! Then the goldfinches bend them over , to 5-6' tall, drop a bunch of seed, & one plant becomes a 15' circle. :)
Even though we don't have any Liatris on the West Coast and it makes me sad, weirdly you can find bulbs of Liatris spicata really cheap sometimes with some other more conventional ornamental bulbs at the grocery store. Even though it's not native for me I bought a couple of bulbs because I got them for so cheap. They're alive still but we get like no summer rain so they're not loving life...
Edge of Nowhere Farms here on RUclips grows their orchards in the desert of Arizona and came up with a genius way of making sure their plants got enough water without them wasting water on other things. Came down to digging a shallow channel around the plants, maybe 8" deep, and then backfilling the whole thing with wood/bark mulch. The channel holds a ton of water right around the root zone, and the mulch acts like a sponge to slowly release the water over a week or so. Plus, when the mulch degrades, it helps build their soil. For a liatrus, you'd probably have to water maybe twice a month to get that mulch really saturated at the deeper level, and then just let it go. The natives are really good with tough conditions.
@@threeriversforge1997 Interesting, I already do that actually but with some different plants, I have some more riparian plants that I'm growing in my upland garden and I have a trench full of leaves, woody material and organic matter just like that (it's also sort of a swale/reservoir for when we get absolutely rain dumped on us the other half of the year, our climate is so weird it's like rain for 7 months and then no rain for 5 months). I guess I just need to do more of them...

I believe the nickname Local Weed comes from the west coast ranchers and farmers who pull it from thier fields do to the livestock primarily horses eating the flowers then going completely local.

6:53 _"We know exactly who gave Syphilis to Native Americans."_ Syphilis was widespread in all Amerindian populations (Native Americans) throughout North/South America, for thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans and infection rates remain disproportionately high to this day.
"Medieval DNA suggests Columbus didn't trigger syphilis epidemic in Europe Skeletons provide first DNA evidence that diverse strains of syphilis circulated in Europe before 1492 13 AUG 2020 BYCHARLOTTE HARTLEY"
Syphilis is sometimes viewed as the new worlds revenge on the Europeans for bringing smallpox, measles, typhus, and cholera. However there is some evidence that a Syphilis like bacteria was circulating in Eurasia beforehand. Last time i looked into the topic it seemed the consensus was that Europeans weren't adapted to the new world Syphilis which is why it was so deadly to them. Unfortunately the population density in Europe allowed Syphilis to mutate into a much more virulent strain that was able to ravage the native americans when it was brought back.
Joey! ( or anyone who’s interested ) if you are ever in northern Wi ,Bayfield Co, area and feel like shit talking some gardens. I got you covered & could use your help! I work for a well off guy who has more than he can take care of. My boss has been having 100s of acres of land cleared leaving good oaks and others, we would love to fill it with natives. He has the money but I could use your help, and insight determining what plants to buy, best ways to plant such large area and how to manage the land for his new prairie restoration project .. If anyone is interested and in the area let’s make contact

I second this!

Yep! :)
Agreed! Evan is very interesting and I loved his dad/cheesy jokes too!
He can even keep doing the Dad jokes!
Intimidated by the people that can identify the grass.
I agree, I’ve got a few I call on , on iNaturalist and they scare me
I struggle with it still
It's the long thin green ones 😎😉
I'm learning my grasses and now i fear those who can identify sedges 😵💫

Some of that Blue Eyed Grass is always a delight to have in the yard.
Wonderful place with wonderful people.
Love the prairie deep dives. I could watch hours of prairie content.
Looks like a great place to trip balls. Great video as always, thanks and gfy.
Really enjoying the focus on native plants and grasses - so informative!
they did a controlled burn at the park near my work this spring. there are fields of this kind of shit. pretty baller

Loving these prairie videos!
Please come speak at the University of Vermont
Discolor good one
I knew it. The invasion of the land lobsters has begun. It may take a few million years but those prairie crayfish will be our overlords some day.
I have seeds of many of the plants you show. I'm going whole hog on planting this next season! Love you guys!
Plant them this fall , as most perennial seeds need to go through winter , then the fluctuating temps of late winter/early spring , to germinate. ;)
Wouldn't it be something if filthy rich ran out of stupid meaningless stuff to want and started wanting things like prairie and old growth forest.
Imagine what ONE LOUSY BILLION could do.... just imagine...

Every episode we get more and more grass. Soon enough you'll take that deep dive. I for one am very excited
So many species of plants in a prairie, orchids 😮

Come to Indiana and Botanize my new trailer weeds!!
We do get some Liatris growing as far as the foothills of the colorado front range, Liatris Punctata, although that's not exactly deep in the west.
Really enjoyed these two. Thanks!
Mr Pizzo kicks ass. He needs a channel of his own. Como se dice, nice
Erm, Evan actually. Sorry, Evan

I would have to go back for the sp correct name but the artichock type plant that we dont rub the wrong way with the purple flower, aka local weed.
Cirsium discolor isn't a weed it's a massively ecologically important plant that provides a shit ton of food for pollinators and seed for birds
