"show me the finest botanist on the planet" *points at man in desert shouting obscenities at cowpats* "ah yes, the david attenborough of the 21st century"
Man, I love these videos. A coworker friend and I went clambering on some rocks outside the office during lunch a few days back, using an app to identify a bunch of plants. We did our best (terrible) imitations of your narrations. These videos always give me a big smile and help relieve a lot of the "am I the only one who cares about this?" feelings. Keep being you, ya prick. Love ya.
My daughter (an avid listener and incapable of minding her own business so she generally sees or at least overhears your videos) learned about basic plant structure (including flowers) in kindergarten which pleased me. They did geology/erosion in 3rd, and geology remains her favorite special interest (rocks all over the goddamn house, and not just the gemmy ones. I found a handful of pink and green granite gravel in her pants pocket before it went into the washing machine and she informed me that *actually* it was unakite), while plants are mine. We live in a drastically different biome from the ones you usually explore, so it's extra interesting to us. I find it especially interesting how while I recognize the families of plants, the biodiversity, even on the other side of the country (or in other countries!), while similar enough to recognize, is so diverse.
I'm dragging my husband to the Berkeley botanical gardens for my birthday today, watching your channel has reinvigorated my debilitating obsession with horticulture 😂
I love your show. I love that you're teaching people to care. I also tell people about botany just to give them words so they give a shit about little green stuff on the ground. If you have the words to describe it, you start to give a shit.
I would like to see Ian from the forgotten weapons on a shooting range being interrupted by some dude picking weeds from between his boots and shouting somethin bout asteracea
Hey Tony,your the best thing on u tube by far,an inspiration to the few of us left that appreciate the real world, your knowledge and abilty to convey it to us fantastic,thankyou brother!,please dont stop.....
Your videos are great. I love this stuff. I've never noticed any of the plants around me until I started watching your videos. You turned me onto botany enough that I'm considering a career change. Even if it doesn't pay!
Did volunteer work in Alabama for the Nature Conservancy and the Alabama Natural Heritage Program, where put up fences to protect Green Pitcher plants through conservation easements. Also protected a host of amphibians, insects, and many other at risk species. I loved it.
I always look forward to watching your videos! Learning about plant life and geology and watching all the beautiful scenery without boring dialogue always puts me in a better mood. Have a lovely day.🌷
This video is the essence of everything I love about your channel, perfectly distilled. Thank you for sharing such a great time and fascinating experience with a bunch of pricks you've never met!
Most of my Iron Maiden intake took place while eating black olive slices at Arinell’s in downtown Berkeley. Great times! But obviously it’d be fun to listen to while piloting a freight train, too.😎 great episode today.🙏🏾 buckwheat RULES
I laugh more watching your videos than I do at most comedians. Yes! I love the back story, keeps me going. Thanks for showing us that flower. I live not far from the Mackinaw bridge in Michigan. I think the only place that the dwarf iris grows is up in Mackinaw area. I saw one once.
Reminds me of the Vernal pools at 40 acre rock South Carolina. Several endemic species, like Amphianthus pusillus. I would love to see you come here & do a video there. I love your videos, when growing up my father was a rare succulents dealer so its super interesting watching your videos and getting back into botany.
Thank you Joey seeing this rare plant was a truly religious experience for me and I can't help but have some righteous indignation that the rancher can't fence the cows away from these plants. More indignation is directed at the authorities for not insisting they be fenced away. I guess it's maybe not rare or endangered enough yet. Still, the rancher could get some resources from the Soil Conservation Service or as it's known now the Natural Resources Conservation Service to erect fence. Just wondering. So I wrote all this before you mentioned they are going to get an easement.
You, my good man, are a delight. As a middle-aged desert rat with a lifelong background and fascination with the natural sciences, I salute you! Many thanks.
I once walked some scrub land down in Texas. I think I missed something. Thanks. Now I will look down and enjoy the little things in life that live in the worst of conditions. It ain’t all BS down there. A lesson for all of us.
Jack putting in his contribution for fertilization, I see. Gives something for the cows to moo about, lol. Aside from the dung, this was a very enjoyable video.
I love this! If this is the spring in nevada i think it is---great boiling spring--then I have actually done some work with geochemical data from this spring. A professor I worked for in undergrad did a bunch of hydrothermal geochemistry and microbiology. Great boiling spring (and the area) was one of the places his grad students did work--easier to get permission from the landowner as opposed to trying to get NPS up in yellowstone to let them take samples whenever. Hydrothermal areas are always really unique when it comes to microbes and soil chemistry, makes sense that the plants get unique too! Keep it up!
In South Africa we have a bird called a Hadeda - like a banshee from hell. You'll be walking along all peacefully and they will rise flapping from the ground with a blood-curdling screech. Cursing Hadedas is a national sport here. Wonder if Tony saw/heard them when he was here? He surely must have. He would have had a field day yelling back!
I haven't checked your old videos yet but please go to some alpine forests like the Sierra Nevadas, Beartooths, Washington, Glacier NP, etc! It's a completely different ecosystem at different elevations!
That’s sooo Crazy I just bought Iron Maiden’s The Number of the Beast on vinyl 😱😱😱 I bet the the number of the beast and run to the hills are great will driving a train 🚂 with those base lines!!🤘🏻👹🤘🏻
Love your channel Tony. You find the green needle in the concrete haystack. I highly recommend it to everyone. Any plans to come up to Canada and do your thing here for a week or two? Alberta badlands would be a great place to start. Just sayin
My adult daughter and myself absolutely love your videos. Informative and colorful, not just the flora! GFY, if you read this would you tell me what camera/video are you using? Hope you can continue to share your passion and knowledge! 💕
I, too, have been hit in the head with a piece of dried cow patty. I took up another dried piece and threw it back, and hit my assailant in HIS head, only mine was still considerably moist in the center, yielding a much more satisfying result.
Moisture content is critical in all fecal flinging endeavors in my experience. The right consistency horse crap will explode on impact, you don't even need a direct hit!
Joey, are there no rodents in that spot? So cool to see shit I'll never get to travel to. I got all excited to find 5 flowering Lillium michauxii & patches of Tipularia in an abandoned yard in my hood. It's getting covered by Wisteria & Ivy 😔 Gotta love a guy who starts his vid with his dog taking a crap 😂 Good boi!
Any idea if the hot spring that laid down the sinter where steamboat buckwheat (eriogonum ovarifolium/williamsiae) grows is still active or exposed? I want to hike out to it and was just curious cause I can't seem to find any pictures.
