  • Phrynosoma orbiculare and Kadenicarpus pseudomacrochele in Querétaro Mexico are the feature of this video. the elevation here is almost 7,000 ' but you wouldn't guess it since it's hot and dry.
    Vazquez-Sanchez (2019). Polyphyly of the iconic cactus genus Turbinicarpus (Cactaceae) and its generic circumscription.

    Never had one squirt the red dye. Only read that they can but we never hurt them so maybe that is why.

    I recently planted some prickly pear in my garden in Ottawa. They're already flowering, and I've seen some elsewhere that take the winter and revive in the spring. I was quite shocked. I look forward to some fruit in August. I have an ewe (sp) tree as well.

      We remember seeing such cacti growing by the highway in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. They were small and unobtrusive, so most folks missed them. The winters there could get really savage. But they seem to be thriving.

    • @Heterogeneity

    • @mikeoxsbigg1
      @mikeoxsbigg1 2 месяца назад

      @Heterogeneity thanks for the correction. I've seen a bunch of them together year after year in the same spot in the same garden. I think they go red, shrivel up and go dormant, but don't know for sure yet. I'm not even sure I need to cover them.

      as we get more baked, by the sun not the dope hah, the plants are moving north. I'm growing Acacia trees from seed . If this heat keeps moving north maybe I can plant them outside. we used to have snow stay on the ground from November to april and alot of it; this winter we had four times where the snow stayed a few days ..

    I've been across a Horny Lizard before(not a euthemism). They're so chill like you say. I love them and always wanted people to know more about them, including the bleeding eyes. I didn't know much about them until I came across one in the house some years ago... Love Buckthorns but never seen one quite like that... I love the research you guys do and how freely you can talk about it... I have few braincells so it's hard to obtain so much knowledge without actually being physically there to witness and see the biodiversity.. everything has beauty even the microflora... I've noticed this around me over the past decade. Thank you for helping to protect these ecosystems.
    I love seeing natural native companion plants, something to learn from with our own food production. That Jatropha looks interesting awooga. Fucking love you guys (:

    I love horned toads…or horny toads as we called them when I was a child in Texas. A big one once tried to eat my big toe…I was sitting on a wood fence, he/she climbed up and thought my big toe was a nice fat bug and grabbed it. I was only 3 or 4 and screamed bloody murder. My father charged out thinking I was under attack. He was laughing but after gently removing my disappointed attacker, explained what the lizard thought and that it couldn’t possibly hurt me. After that I was in love! There were so many 70 years ago.
