When I was in High School, I remember reading the poem The Fringed Gentian. Now I see what the poet meant. You're out there in the field and almost everything has gone to seed and turned brown, when you see that little burst of blue color, as if a piece of the sky had fallen into a haystack.
I cut some leaves off a Rattlesnake Master plant and wove it into a little basket just to see if I could. I followed a tutorial for New Zealand flax but it worked great for Rattlesnake Master.
Yes you are correct my loudmouth botanist friend a lot of people would look out and see a lot of dead stuff me and you and quite a few other people on this chat would see an awful lot of liveliness you just have to know what you're looking at
I’m in NJ but planted Salvia azurea and the Hummingbirds and Bumblebees adore, while the deer avoid it. The view of that sumac and goldenrod together is OUTSTANDING!
Tony, you have spoken about the therapeutic effects the wild lands provide for you, so I wanted to tell you that you are sharing your therapeutics with me, and I love you for that.
You crack me up!! My DTR went to TX A&M and says your taxonomy is un surpassed. That is a high compliment from her. I'm trauma trained and fascinated at your description of bodily functions. . . Your background, origin language has got to be Boston or the Broncs. Or some where from the e fn North. My heart is happy listening to you. Man of my dreams.. Yeah, ppl are pestilence at times. You young man, are not.
Was super stoked to find some bottle Gentiana along a creek here in N. Georgia. Nothing like that color! Saved a couple Maples & oaks today while waiting for a Dr's appt. They were girdled by the straps left on when planted, prolly 5 years ago. My good deed for the day besides collecting seeds almost every day. Hoping to completely replace my "Lawn". It's mostly native stuff anyway, just patches of grass that I def don't want.
you get about a lot Tony! i wonder if doggies have any paws left or maybe you ship them prior to visit! :) keep going fren. i've actually learned stuff. and so many more vids to watch yet! thankyou. if nothing else i am respecting and understanding the enviroment a hella lot more than i ever did before discovering your channel.
Love your videos! So informative. You found many tall grass prairie plants in bloom including the beautiful Gentiana. I call it the last flower of the season on the prairie I work at in Minnesota. For people to see more of the plants in bloom you need to video tape a couple weeks earlier but then we would have missed the Gentiana. That would have been a loss for all of us. Thanks again!
I definitely took the Symphyotrichums for granted... then I realized that they're pretty much most of what is still blooming entering mid autumn here in New England. Very important for the pollinators and they've got some cool diversity.
Buckwheat honey is really good for sore throats, even if it doesn’t do much for a cough. Also, white tea (less processed than black or green tea) is the type of tea that has the most anti microbial properties, so it’s the best kind to drink when you’re sick (just make sure the water’s not boiling; it should be around 160-170 degrees Fahrenheit). Hope you and your mom feel better soon!
Nice Prairie! I see a lot of Sumac unfortunately. I have been told by prairie experts that tends to be worsened by spring burning, which is unfortunately a common habit of the MDC management style at current. Dormant season burns promote better forb diversity. I love the Gentiana puberulata! Have seen some on Paintbrush prairie about this time of year. :) Silphium laciniatum is great too. If you can smell the Blue sage you probably don't have the 'Rona (yet). I caught it two weeks ago from either my kids or students. It typically robs you of the ability to smell in general but especially the smell of resinous and aromatic plants. I was just able to smell my Basil again today. Had a nice friend collect lots of seed of prairie plants for me this year since I was sick at prime time.
Who’d have thought a loudmouth like you would be so restful?? I actually fell to sleep watching this last night. So now actually watching it this morning!
Lol I keep seeing stuff where he's out in the plains and I'm hoping he takes a swing up through like the sandhills or the pine ridge because there's cool shit up there but almost no people
This will be interesting, been wanting to make the trek to w Missouri and listen to the Prairie Chickens drum... Hopefully you got to see Elephant rock State Park!!
Hey, this is pretty close to me. Maybe I'll visit it some day. Missouri has a good amount of nature preserves, but yeah a lot of it is agriculture and ranchland. On the plus side, if you know the right people, you can get a good deal on grass fed beef. I'm always excited to learn more about the plants around here.
@@stephenspark9358 wow i never knew missouri had so many dicks in it, everyone from Missouri i seen post on here, i know why you dont like it here, move to kansas.
Wonder if my guy is headed home... or maybe a nice botanical detour? Hope so, I know I'd rather not go to the bay area if I had a choice... but touching some of the redwoods out there is on my bucket list...

That is excellent.

I AM collecting seeds right now! Thanks
I'm afraid I'm over loaded ... but I can always find a field a help spread a new population.
Too late for most seed collection here in SW Montana as we got 6" of snow last night and winter is on the way.
i hope this buzz never dies.
Just when I was starting to get bored thinking I had nothing to do!
I've finally discovered this channel. I'm stoked.

I took a "Stinky Henry" this morning! Not ashamed though. Stay safe!
That sumac is really pretty to me. I don’t see that stuff out in Oregon where I live
Amazing how much plant variety you can find in different sections of the prairies, very different from what you find further north
Love your videos! So informative. You found many tall grass prairie plants in bloom including the beautiful Gentiana. I call it the last flower of the season on the prairie I work at in Minnesota. For people to see more of the plants in bloom you need to video tape a couple weeks earlier but then we would have missed the Gentiana. That would have been a loss for all of us. Thanks again!
And thank you for pointing out Salvia azurea. So under utilized in prairie mixes with easy germination.
Your videos are amazing. Your knowledge is impressive. Neat plants and lands!

in some languages, double consonants make the preceding vowel a short vowel, this is just an exception, it is confusing because phylon means race, and is pronounced like 'file', but phyllary is from phyllon which means leaf... so maybe they distinguished them in greek that way, and we just carry on their linguistic baggage

“Jack didn’t want to come with me, he’s trying too fu$k that cross eyed dog with a beard!” 🤣
Do Gentianas and Silphium laciniatum need cold stratification? Are Silphium laciniatum seeds viable if they are flat?
Prairie Moon says Silphium needs 60 days of cold stratification, but as for being flat, I guess that’s relative. They are flattish anyway, so I dunno.
I should add that the last Prairie Moon catalog had a good artificial stratification demo in it and they also sell a book called “Starting Seeds” by Barbara Ellis ($9.00) but I cannot vouch for its quality as I’ve not read it. Still, go request their catalog!
