Could you make a video on Ailanthus altissima, this plant has seemingly conquered every city in the world, yet can be useful to make silk, wood via its rapid growth and even, medicine, to combat erosion, etc. Fascinating plant.
Tree of Heaven is invasive as Hell, and it’s a favorite host for spotted lantern files, which become toxic and undesirable to predators when they eat it, all the more reason to eradicate them from North America. Let them thrive in their native range.
Oh, I didn’t know they could be used to make silk! I know them from their seeds. Like helicopter blades. I know Lotuses can be used for silk, as well! It’s crazy expensive, and hard to produce.
They are incredibly invasive here in Germany , and they don't have any value to animals. In a count in Germany they found no insects at all in those trees.
Here in Brazil we call it Vitória Régia, and our indigenous people have a legend for its origin! It was known that the moon god (Jaci) had love encounters with the prettiest indigenous girls; after these dates, the chosen girls were transformed into stars. Naiá was a girl who fell in love for Jaci; one day she saw the moon's reflection on a river and got drown trying to kiss it. Jaci got touched after seeing this and as a merciful act, transformed Naiá's body into Victoria Amazonica, a river star :)
Yesterday, I heard about Victoria amazonica for the first time from my professor. He told us that most literature says that they can "only" carry weights up to 40 kg but he could stand on them without a problem. So some of them can easily carry weights of up to 100 kg.
I love when a new floralogic video comes out! There are always so many new things to learn. You should do a video on the relationship between pine and oak trees in their common environment. 😊
eastern skunk cabbage in the US also produces heat allowing it to melt snow and be one of the first vegetative and flowering plants in the marshy areas it inhabits in the late winter and early spring.
Fun fact Seaweeds and kelp are not true plants and they did not evolve from terrestrial plant because they most likely existed before them. I used to think the same way too. They do have a common ancestor however which are cyanobacteria
One of my favorite plants! i first saw one in reality when visiting Kew Gardens in London, but i learned much through this episode that was previously unknown to me. Thank you Tasha!
It's then really sad how humans do everything in their power to destroy this diversity. There's no other planet in this galaxy like Earth so we should take better care of it!
Wonderful and informative video as always! I would love to see a documentary on Tokay Gecko. They are in parts of East Asia. They got their name because of the distinct and unique sound they make during mating. Their jaw is strong enough to tear down a chunk of your flesh. Because of their aggressive nature, and the fact they're being hunted in some areas; not many research are done on them. I would love to learn more about them because one is currently living outside my kitchen croaking each night.
Not all water lilies require constant warm water. There are some water lilies that grow in ponds in Yellowstone. These ponds are frozen over for more than 6 months every year but just a few weeks after they finally thaw out the leaves of hundreds of lilies are covering the surface. Moose are often seen in Yellowstone's lily ponds eating the leaves of the plants. Wolves are sometimes seen near lily ponds hunting moose and other animals that feed on the lilies. I'm not sure how the water lilies survive under the ice for so long. I'm guessing their seeds and possibly their roots survive the winter at the bottom of the pond and grow back in the spring
I love watching your videos. Not just because of your warm smile, bright eyes, but because you expressions are so, ahhh .... expressive!. And your dialogue is cleaver and your presentation is clear, direct, and entertaining.
That stock 10 year old child giggle in the beggining made me laugh so hard I almost dropped my phone and everyone on the bus is looking at me strange. Thanks.
Tasha The Amazon you give me lifeeeee..really cool and interesting content as always..Sending you positive vibes from my plant babies and me in VA..thanks for all the effort you put into your vids..
Can yall do a video on Portulaca Oleracea (Common Purslane) It's a super cool plant, that is commonly treated as a weed, but it's a nutritious plant, that grows easily. It's also one of the only known examples of Facultative CAM while also using C4 photosynthesis. As a succulent, and is a great source of a lot of nutrients! Also, In general, I think it would be cool if you could cover Facultative CAM in a video! :D
I would love to see a Reeses Cup container in the color and style of a Victoria Amazonia. Reese's; if you are listening; the ball is in your court --- free idea and I will not sue you for taking it (documented in writing.)
lobellia i just started growing at home and the seeds blew my mind they are so small like literal dust specks can you PLEASE explain the evolutionary benifit to having seeds that look like the Whos of Whoville live on em
