note : Fagus grandifolia was incorrectly referenced as "Fagus americana" in this episode. No such species exists. I screwed up and gave you bad info! Another occasional lapse in species ID. Grant me some leeway, prick. My brain is filled with thousands of genera and species names. Sometimes it conks out.
In this video we explore sandhill habitat, and wet ravine to see some of the coolest plants found in North Florida, including the endangered Florida Yew and Florida Torreya, both of which are Paleo-endemics and relicts of a cooler climate.
Many chiggers were encountered on this episode, during which we observe upwards of forty different plant species composing the rich biodiversity of Northern Florida.
Penstemon australis
Opuntia mesacantha
Vaccinium arboreum
Rhododendron austrinum
Oxydendrum arboreum
Symplocos tinctoria
Torreya taxifolia
Hydrangea quercifolia
Baptisia alba
Liatris gholsonii
Fagus grandifolia

As a Florida-Man I have appreciated your Florida series of videos. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your [and your guests] expertise!

@fuxan Год назад

Likewise...I'm from Central Florida and really appreciate these recent videos...I didn't spend nearly enough time up in the panhandle. Making up for lots time before it's all gone one day.

@jul.escobar Год назад

As a Florida woman I too have enjoyed the heck out of this serious. 🎉

@seanclapper9965 Год назад

Now i have even more appreciation for the flora native to the panhandle, especially realizing it used to be coastline. Lake Wales area in Central Fla has quite a few giant sndhills (Bok tower botanical sanctuary sits on a 300" hill). These largest sandhills were tiny islands at one point. Didnt even realize we had so many euphorbias here either. Ive always enjoyed the many springs and rivers here, and north Floriduh has a ton.

@wamlartmuse Год назад

Man.. I absolutely love these Florida videos. Such great diversity. I'm from Oklahoma, we have little diversity of plant life. We're very boring considering botany lol. I try my hardest to grow naturally plants from my local wildlife. I'm trying to understand botany but mycology is much easier for me. It all fits in together anyway. Plants & fungus wouldn't work without each other. & it just moves up from there. Humanity depends on ecology. Without one there is no other. I will forever be in debt to my teachers like CPBBD.. I can mention many other great teachers but I'll leave it at him. Do your own research. 🍄🌳💜

@riku8342 Год назад

How is having (+/-)2500 native plant species in your state boring? Florida has around 3000 natives so it's not even that much more diverse.

@wamlartmuse Год назад

@riku8342 well that's about 500 more lol. I think Florida & a couple other states have cooler & prettier plants. Oklahoma has mostly flat land & we don't get a whole lot of rain. If you want to enjoy some nice areas in nature you either have to live by it or plan a trip to see it. Not to mention all the red dirt we have that nothing likes to grow in.

@Cpt_JaK Год назад

You're looking for charismatic Natives aren't you. Look deeper...

@alexjames879 Год назад

As someone who lives in eastern Oklahoma, maybe you should explore more, there’s definitely a ton of fascinating plant diversity around here. The drier western areas also have fascinating plants as well. Watching the transition from arid grassland and shrublands in the west to moist subtropical forest in the southeast can teach you a lot about plant adaptation and ecosystem evolution.

@wamlartmuse Год назад

@alexjames879 exactly, I definitely agree with you. In order to see the beauty I have to travel. I might as well go out of state lol. I love mountains but the only time I see them is when I'm headed out of state & don't have much time to chill.

@txbirdman01 Год назад

When yall were looking at the witch hazel you joked that people always want to know what a plant does, and Lily said that it provides "ecosystem service's" I thought yall were just making that up on the spot. Then I was reading an article that mentioned an estimated value of "ecosystem services " assigned to pollinators worldwide. I realized this is a real term that science uses to explain value for anything in the ecosystem to people who might not care otherwise.

@RobinMarks1313 Год назад

You need mud. In my backyard, we had a sulfur spring swamp. The frogs at night would make it so the visiting city folk couldn't sleep and complained. It was white noise to us hicks, we only heard it when we tuned into it. So, I've been dancing with bugs and critters all my life. If you need to stop them from biting you... mud. Find some clay mud and spread it on your lower legs. Heck, some of the minerals will nitrify your skin too. If you get a thick layer, the stupid bugs can't get through. Or, make sure your pants are no entry and put elastics at the bottom of your pants to cinch them tight. I'm sure you know about this approach, but I don't get a view of your legs much. It was nice to see the whole Tony and Al when I saw a promo for Kill Your Lawn. Good to see lawns fading into the past.

I was down in the Corkscrew Swamp outside of Naples Florida last month, and I remember seeing red maple growing deep in the swamps amongst pond apples and other subtropical plants, and being so confused as to how such a northern species could make it in such a different environment. I definitely didn’t expect to see orchids growing on red maples.

@bobjacobson858 Год назад

Excellent video. I would like to offer two comments: 1. Torreya taxifolia was planted at the Biltmore Estate near Asheville, North Carolina, and it both thrives (getting to be a fairly large tree) and reproduces there. Thus, that is essentially the new home for this species. There are other specimens in various botanical gardens. I recall being told that this species "will never grow again in the Cotton Belt". 2. There is also a third native species of yew found in northeastern and Great Lake areas (Taxus canadensis), and it is a low-growing species (unlike the Pacific yew, Taxus brevifolia and the European and Asian species often cultivated that become trees). I've seen Taxus canadensis in southern New Hampshire and in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

@Crime Pays but Botany Doesn't, First video watching here. Voluntarily searched up Torreya Taxifolia and decided to watch multiple videos on it. Am here now. Goodness gracious have not heard this much concentrated taxonomy from the two of you since childhood and college botany days. Like bringing back memories... Am following and absorbing it but whew! you guys are leaving a wake that would bring Linnaeus a smile. Video is not even over and you guys got a like and contemplated subscribe. I'd ease up on suggestive references though

@leannaerickson9745 Год назад

Another great lesson in Florida botany, thank you and Lilly too. I live on the Central Coast of California, about half a mile out of the natural range of Aesculus californica. Twenty-six years ago, when I moved out of Monterey County, I smuggled my potted Aesculus californica to my current home and replanted it in my back yard. Right now it's in bloom, and it smells heavenly (and so close to native).

Ive been watching these Florida videos because I live in South Georgia by a giant swamp called the okefenokee, largest blackwater swamp in America. I was very sad to learn about laurel wilt. I love the Bays around here, I started using them for cooking as well. I've noticed around where I live in the drier pine woods there is so much rust and fungus on the vegetation it looks sickly. But it's so cool someone is showing some love to the flora around here. And a fun fact about the cnidoscolus stimulosus is it has edible tubers that taste like potato, but I've only harvested it once because they aret abundant enough to warrant it
