  • Lobelia fistulosa and Araucaria angustifolia dominate the forests here along with a number of cool orchids and other bizarre plants growing on the granite inselbergs of the Atlantic Forest of Rio De Janeiro State, Brazil near the city of Nova Friburgo.

    Your videos would make any of those fake instagram people jealous because you actually know where to find amazing beauty in nature. I fell in love with plants when I my own directed study in college studying the evolution of carnivorous plants. Your videos are amazing and I thank you for making them. Content like yours is actually needed because it makes the internet a better place.

    These seeds of araucaria are very traditional in the festivals we have on june (festas juninas), and we call it "pinhão". I like it, it's cooked in water and some salt.

    The pinhão is such a tradition down south, I'd know winter was coming as a kid because my grandma would boil them by the kilograms to soften the "shell" before handing it to me to pry it open with a knife. Almost sliced my fingers off as a toddler doing that, so worth it

    "Look at that vulture. What are you doing here? Do you find road kill down there?"
    Vulture, thinking "Nice spot to check, you would be surprised how often over enthusiastic botanists drop down this cliff."

    Araucária seeds nice. I usually cook them with salt and a pinch of pepper. Pretty decent winter snacks, with some cheese, salami, dark beer or the traditional hot wine thing. Good stuff.

    Wow that is a place I have dreamed of visiting for so many years. A whole new frost hardy flora !!
    I have quite a few Arauacaria angustifolia here in Normandy for many years, some are getting a nice size.
    You could have made a film twice as long so many plants such as those gleicheniales that we only just glimpsed.
    Dream place sir !!

    Goddamn those are some nice Araucarias. Shame that the Araucaria moist forests are one of the most destroyed habitats in Brazil, they're such nice trees I don't know how people could bear to cut them down. Whole Araucariaceae has some of the most majestic trees on the planet that always seem to end up with the most devastating fates...

      I can feel the scratchy lichen-on-rock underfoot just watching this. Complete with Rock Ferns. Some of the most rare and endangered plants exist in cliff environments.

    • @dshobe720
      @dshobe720 9 месяцев назад +1

      @nathandale3415 Totally agree! When collecting spores I only ever take from established populations with 10+ plants and only ever take 1 leaf, so the ferns can March on.

    Brazil, famous for its orchids. You came across some great examples, but I am surprised they have not been robbed (yet.) People in the North try to grow these indoors and find them a challenge, because we can't duplicate the climate of those mountains inside our houses. But in their native habitat those orchids are quite tough little plants.
