This guy is so passionate on this subject. He really seems to love talking about carnivorous plants
Who doesn’t???
I like carnivorous plants
Nepenthes Venus fly trap cobra Lily helemforuon I don’t know how to spell it
I think sarracenia are my favorite species of plant. The amount of diversity in both shapes and color fascinate me!
Nah bro Venus flytraps are way cooler they move and have a mouth
Best video about carnivorous plants ever made, thx alot
Gotta love this guy’s passion.
I found this channel a couple weeks ago! I can’t get enough! Wonderful episodes and beautiful information! Thank you for all the hard work!
Enjoy
Very glad I somehow found this video.
Thank you good sir for your love and curiosity.
Always happy to see a new video about carnivorous plants with you speaking Stuart, thank you for doing these!
Stewart: this is my favorite of all carnivorous plants!

Stewart: I think, without a doubt, without uncertainty, unequivocally, THIS IS THE MOST SPECTACULAR SPECIES OF--
I get it bro. All plants are my fave too! :D
Edit: forgot to say thanks for the goldmine of knowledge!
Just wanted to say that I absolutely love your videos and documentaries they are so well done and matter of fact and have none of that flashy drama stuff that a lot of stuff has now a days and very informational, please keep doing what you are doing
Absolutely Brilliant. Thank Sir Stewart.
Hello!
Wow, This was fantastic thank you
Brilliant video!
Fascinating plants. And your enthusiasm is infectious!
WOW what incredible content. It's as if you knew exactly what I wanted to listen to. Thank you for taking such a deep dive and being so thorough with every species. Looking forward to more awesome content like this from you
Currently watching this and I am so excited! Love your videos!
Just Superb thank you Stewart letting into your journeys looking for carnivorous plants. My favourites are Highland Nepenthes which I grow ,fabulous plants!!
I woke up from a nap, which I'd had with the TV on at a low volume, and this lecture was midway through. In my freshly awakened, groggy state, I wanted to fall back asleep, but the video captivated me! At first I kept it at low volume, in case I could sleep some more, but I couldn't keep myself from raising it. I've heard of lecturers making people fall asleep out of boredom, and if this isn't the exact opposite, I don't know what is!
I am a heliconia, ginger and plumeria guy but I gotta admit this has become the most fascinating channel on youtube for both adventure and horticulture Ive come across in a long time . thank you stewart
So incredible to watch Stewart. Inspiring stuff, I can’t wait for more
Very thorough presentation from the expert. Thank you!
Absolutely fantastic lecture. I loved this so very much.
😁🍃🍃🍃💯 Absolutely the very best lecture on various species of carnivorous plants. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you! Your lockdown lectures are great and I learn a lot from each one!
:D
Excellent video
Thanks from Albion California, Enjoyed it very much after a day walking through the Local Darlingtonia bog.
Thank you so much for your superb video!
Very nice presentation. Thanks a lot for sharing Stew
The Genlisea (corkscrew) is my favoite because of it's obscure, underground traps
Most interesting botany lecture I've ever seen.
Lovely lecture. Thank you very much.
Wow... really full of information. Pure knowledge and experience we have here
Thank you so much for posting/sharing this fascinating Lecture. I have just started to grow/take care off CPs. I enjoyed watching and listening to this while shielding, I grow most of my sarracenia/VFT outdoors in NW England. I really must get a greenhouse.
That was fantastic
I always imagined how carnivorous plants looked liked a long time ago, they must have been huge.
Thank you so much for posting this. The whole lecture was extremely entertaining and I took away a lot of knowledge from this.
Very comprehensive and enjoyable presentation! I'm in the process of constructing a bog garden and this is helpful information about plants available. Thanks!
My first carnivorou plant was a Drosera sp. This grup of the plants is very intersting!💚
Mine was a venus fly trap
Very interesting......
Brilliant, thank you very much. I would love to hear about your work on Sarracenia with the great Dr Schnell. The Sarraceniaceae book you wrote together is wonderful. Please keep these videos coming!
Very nice summary
Brilliant lecture, so interesting and informative. I am addicted to Dionaea Muscipula VFT. I find them so fascinating.
Great introduction and interesting information for a newbie ! Thanks
This is cool. Would be nice to have some in my garden
every try getting into the carnivorous plant hobby?
I really enjoyed your video and it was so thoroughly done!!! 🎯💚💙
comments on visiting 50 small unknown places over mt everest - my feelings exactly
nice video thanks
Brilliant- love your channel ✨👌🏽
Thank you, this lecture is very interesting
Thank you Stewart, for your interesting lecture and the stories that make botany exciting! I enjoyed listening to your tales this evening while I continue to amuse myself with quarantine projects. I live in the US State of Oregon and one of my favorite places to visit is the Darlingtonia State Natural Site near the small city of Florence, on the Oregon Coast. Stop by some time and visit, I think you will enjoy this lovely area set aside to protect the little pitcher plant. You will find their website easily with a google search. Take care!
Thank you so much Sir.
useful information
This was such an interesting and good lecture, thanks for sharing this 🙏
love it! just got my first set of gremlin venus fly traps a few days ago
What I find truly amazing is my outdoor bog in the UK has plants they've never seen before and the spiders KNOW to build webs all over and live inside the mouths and catch bugs
I'm looking to see more research on teasels as they are known to catch insects and gain more seed heads from them which is fascinating
Hello Stuart. I very much enjoyed your lecture. I grew carnivorous plants in a plastic child's wading pool back in the 1970s and remember the thrill I got when I convinced my local library to obtain a copy of Schnells' Carnivorous Plants of the United States and Canada. So many new species have joined the CP world since the first printing of that book. In case you have not discovered his RUclips channel, I want to bring your attention to Joey Santores' Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't. Self taught botanist of the people I guess is the best way to describe him. It would be an interesting collaboration: A polite English author of botany and a botanist from Chicago who's education was from library books and illegally hopping on trains that took him often to the natural world where he feels most comfortable. Indeed, Joey's travels has taken him to Australia to see the beauty of carnivorous plants down there, but Joey can also find beautiful plants, even in the slums of the USA. Hope you give his channel a look-see.
Just watched your Islands documentary , episode ‘Southern Ocean’ on Amazon video. Fascinating stuff. I didn’t know where to comment, so I looked you up and came here and subscribed. Watched some other videos too. On account of all the great work you have done to promote and educate your viewers about the natural world, I ask the New Zealand govt to name their third largest island after you. Hope they listen.
Can everyone see the Coronavirious plant?
Really nice presentation, but why not point out the difference in trapping mechanicms between aquatic and terrestrial Utricularia?
Also, the mutualism between N. hemsleyana and a species of bat would be a nice addition.
Hello Mr McPherson, is there any possibility to get a copy of "pitcher plants of the old world"? Or maybe a pdf version or something? I would love to read it.
Amazing video I loved it. It makes me wonder and hopefully you can talk about this in a future video, which plants (ancestors) originated the Nepenthes, I try to look for information in the internet but I am not able to find it. I would really like to know which plants started that amazing structure of the pitcher, I believe first taking out their tendril and how it evolved to transport nutrients
Aaaaannndddd... Subbed!
Hi, good morning
Good morning, sit 'n' spin
Sit 'n' spin, there's more that I have
It would be nice to have the books in electronic form. Hard to find them
Re: varieties of Venus Flytraps - there's a common scam at the moment, claiming to have neon-bright blue/purple variants for sale. *_These do not exist_* and are simply colour-changed photographs designed to cheat you. Literature that comes with these plants either claims the colouration will change from green to the advertised colour after a year or so, or that correct care is needed to activate the colour change - both claims are false.
Please do not fall for these if you see them. If you would like a less common Venus, go for the Red Dragon or Red Piranha variants. Cheers.
I am learning the same chapter
Some of these carnivorous plants are an the Endangered list.
What does the fossil record say about large carnivorous plants? Could there be plants capable of digest human-sized animals back then?
Doesn't appear like there is very much record found of them.
Only one fossil I can find, of a pitcher plant relative, frozen in amber (resembles a hydra)..and it's debated as being what it's claimed. Looks relatively small also.
I saw those plants b4, sipped the nectar, I wanted to know what'll happen. Nothing happened then, but I still want2know.
here are the plants that could can catch rodents. N. Truncata, N. Robcantleyi, N. Rajah (of course), N. attenboroughii, N. palawanensis, N. sibuyanensis, Nepenthes nebularum, N. merrilliana.
here are some bird catching species: N. x mixta (nepenthes northiana x maxima), N. truncata, N. x miranda ((northiana x maxima)x maxima), and some other large ones
I got almodrava in my pond years ago, and I still dont known where It came from!
I was struck by the similarity of Byblis to Drosera filiformis and D. tracyi. Convergent evolution?
Hello this is a great video very interesting, I bought the volume one of New Nepenthes and I loved it! I look forward to volume two. Can you tell me the exact date of its release?
Bear grylls of carnivorous plants
Do you think the nectar was also intoxicating causing the little anthropod to become disoriented? I spoke too soon... The deep purple pitcher is very alluring, .. irresistible. sort of like my first wife.
How do the trap's leaves snap shut? Plants don't have muscles, I wouldn't imagine.
Traps close via being signaled by Action Potentials caused by insects triggering hairs. What happens is that when two or more APs are sent, it induces a water gradient to be released until it reaches equilibrium. Its similar actually to how stomata work. This change in relative water pressure induces conformational change of the trap, inducing the snapping motion.
There has been a flower based carnivore plant discovered recently.
Is there any carnivore plant that grow well on hard waters or high pH?
When did they first get a taste for insects I wonder
I’m on a mission to find a sundew here in south west Alaska
Very detailed, couldnt find blackberry plants, which catches mammals.
Dont eat them though. The thorns are a deterrent rather than a deliberate trap.
@@fellow8085 The thorns pointing inward is a big reason for the perspective that they are semi-carnivorous, unlike a cactus that points directly out. I don't nessisarily agree or disagree, since we don't have many animals in my area, that get stuck inside besides me..but, Trapping larger animals, while protecting and attracting small rodents, birds etc, that spread seed far and wide is
A great way to fertilize their own soil. They are strange to say the least.
@@ontherims3284 Maybe I'm thinking of a different morphology. The ones here have thorns large enough that birds can still pass through the brambles safely, but keep out herbivores.
The brambles usually have thorns facing outwards. I have never seen an mammal caught in the brambles, or even dying in the brambles, and I have seen many thousands of Himalayan blackberry over the years. It would be interesting if true though.
U didn't tell us about how they multiply....seeds and all that...can you make clones l
Depends on the genus. What interests you?
goad of the rock
Did u all get that musical performance this morning
Melanie, would it matter who the person is who'll love2let u do whatever u want; they'll love2join in with u.

So I have a bit of a problem with the way he categorizes these plants. There are so many types of carnivorous plants that are NEVER spoken of, probably due to lack of studies. Triantha occidentalis, is carnivorous but way different then normal carnivorous plants. These ones can grow in normal soil and are even found growing in sidewalks in urban cities. There are several related species that possess the same sticky stem and probably are carnivorous as well. There's also a shrub thats carnivorous, and grows the sticky hairs on the actual pedals of the flowers. There are so many unidentified carnivorous plants yet to be found. We should be taking another look at every plant living in bogs, there's a high chance of most of them being carnivorous
what about hamata and robcantleyi?
I actually got scarred by one episode of Naša mala klinika (Slovene version), because a fake carnivorous plant ate a annoying woman there. I was 3.
talking about bromeliad there is one that looks similar to the catopsis but lives in the soil. I grew up in venezuela and i clearly remember my mom getting one of them from my uncle's ranch, living in the grass savanna and i was always facinated and confused of why the rosett in the middle always had water and dead insects. this was in venezuela in the state of Bolivar close to the town of Upata

nature's cursed fleshlights
nepenthes are the best
Brambles eat sheep.
Someone said that they wanted2c me: I want2c u2.
I saw u quick, but then the phot disappeared
Can I c it again
Terror plot lol
I read this as coronavirus plants 😂
NO SE PORQUE? A MI PARECER Y GUSTÓ ME PARECEN LA MAYORIA DE LAS PLANTAS EXOTICAS,.... EROTICAS, ES ESPECIAL.😃👍
He said poop! A lot! Hahaha!
Amazed that people still use terms like "Old World" and "New World". What is this the 17th century? lol.
at glance i read coronavirus plants
Hello, can you send me a message, I'm a big fan?
