A brief trip to the Eucalyptus Forests of Southwestern Australia that rival those of California Redwoods, 3 different species of the carnivorous plant Drosera, 1.3 year old Granite Plutons, the beautiful Myrtle Bush Verticordia plumosa, the strange plant family Haloragaceae, and the mysteries awaiting the dungeon of Hong Kong Airport Bathrooms and the free public showers.

Oppenheimer Ranch Project touted your channel. I watch him religiously. So I jumped on over here. The world needs like minded people that want to uplift and not tear down. Keep up the good work.

[@charleswaters455]

This video makes me wonder how your view of the world and mine differ. I'm an avid outdoor guy and hike a lot. I'll often see something and think to myself, "self, see that plant? Ain't it pretty?" or have other really shallow observations about the beautiful nature around me. I feel like when you walk through nature, you're like Neo from the Matrix seeing the matrix for the first time. How do you take a nature walk without becoming overwhelmed by your knowledge of botany. Also, where did you get that knowledge? Keep making vids. I hope KZbin works for you.

Hi! Diamond at Oppenheimer Ranch project turned me on to you. Enjoying your presentations! Thank you for this channel man, this is what we all need to be passionate about to survive into the future. 💖🖖

[@graemeure9947]

Well you've tingled my memory stacks. Walked from Pemberton to Walpole (seems forever ago), highlights were ascending to the firelookout at Pemberton (back then the steps were jarrah pegs not the rebar in the photos now); a 4m wide karri stump near Shannon with two coppice shoots regrown into trees over 1m diameter; Walking through the tingle forest and the next day such a contrast out to Nuyts Point, coastal sandy heath all banksias and wattles for all I new. Unfortunately it was near mid-winter, so not a lot going on and our route didn't go anywhere near granite outcrops, I didn't run into anything like that until I got to Esperance.

[@NewMessage]

Wow.. that lichen.. never seen anything quite lich it.

[@thothbaboon]

at 12:47 you can see the drosera with caught flies!! so cool!

[@bobmatin7107]

Excellant content as always. You have really sparked my feeble old mind to begin to learn about the undergrowth here in Northeast Thailand. If I would stop smoking Thai stick I might be able to remember some of it. Thanks. Bobby

[@MrKmoconne]

This was an unexpected video of some really beautiful and unusual flowers. Nature movies skip over the world of plants so your videos are a valuable archive of information. I was interested in how different the environments that carnivorous plants grow in Australia than those in the rest of the world. Very interesting to see Utricularia growing in such a dry environment.

[@neretaireamenhotep2186]

Sending luv from Oppenheimer Ranch....happy he finally found you!

[@dinapump]

Bro you should go to the otways in victoria. That forest held the tallest recorded tree in the world at 129m high. There called mountain ash and are the largest and tallest flowering plants in the world.

[@J_L45]

Go and see the birthing trees 🌲

[@jamespuleo3269]

Thanks for about 5 weeks now (my time) of entertaining vids~~~ Personality and attitude carries it for me, more than the bio info~~~ Your work reminds me of why I used to love listening to the humorist Jean Shepherd when I was a kid~~~ (You say "GFY", he coined an expression "Excelsior, you fatheads!"~~~ BTW he hailed from Hammond, Indiana, but lost his accent thru doing 'professional radio') P.S. Regarding the third paragraph of your description above, I have never met a "gruntled" postal employee.

[@CHASRIZM]

Hahahahahaha "don't cha think it's niiiice??" Your awesome Tony, bro for real lol

[@ScooBdont]

Whoa, I just noticed you broke 100k. You’re way to entertaining to stop with a paltry 5 digit following. Congrats! Next stop 1 mill 👋🙂✌️ Edit: That corral lichen was tremendous

[@MrElectricDragon]

Oppenheimer Ranch sent me. This video is awesome. I'm not well-versed in Botany as you are, but even with the unfamiliar vernacular, I found this absolutely fascinating.

[@BESHYSBEES]

Thought you said you were done on the Aussie series? With 12500+ species of flora and fauna native to the west coast there isn’t enough time on one holiday visa to get a true appreciation of its spectacular beauty, next year come back for the desert flowers if it’s had some good rain. Cheers Tony 👍

I like the Drosera best, carnivorous plant are my favorite! :3

[@omerosummer481]

Man that lichen!

[@Juanito_Peligroso]

Me: crawls thorough the Australian rainforest, miles from town. Crime pays but botany doesn’t: “HOW YOU DOIN’!?”

[@grantrennie]

What do you think about a trip to a special area of Scotland with lots of succulents, Wall flowers, some carnivorous plants and lots of wild flowers? Maybe followed by a trip to crete in Greece to see the desert plants that grow there? I'd like to help organise this for early July if you would like to come over, lots of coastal specialist plants and saltwater resistant flowers as well...

[@victorsaloum9731]

7:26 the center of that thomosia flower looks like an alien vs predator head.

[@AGDinCA]

That pulchrocladia retipora actually doesn't look so much like coral as it does deep sea glass sponge. They are animals (mostly filter feeders, but some are carnivorous) that have silica-based skeletons. They are literally made of glass! Anyway, their bodies very much mirror that holey structure visible in the lichen.

[@MrAce0r]

Dude, I thought I knew many plants. Hats of for you my friend :D

It would be cool to see if you could show us what these plants might look like under ultraviolet light to its pollinators. Ultraviolet light or I meant filters.

I'd volunteer for being hired to film b-roll for these vlogs. Start a new channel paired with this one called Vlogging Pays But Botany Doesn't

[@p4tr1ck18]

If it's crossed your mind lemme know. I'd seriously appreciate the chance to learn even a fraction of what's beyond these vlogs. Up close HD shots and more written facts. I can take notes during the time.

That coral lichen was bonkers!

[@WayneTheSeine]

Out of the dozens of channels I sub to ....yours is by far the most rewarding....God I love it. The Retipora lichen is freaking awesome.....damn what a beautiful creature. BTW.... I was amazed to hear you say you bleach your stuff upon leaving Australia. Most folks don't think to do it. When I am out west fly fishing each year (usually a month or more) I 409 Concentrate my waders and boots. You have to do it every freaking time you change streams or rivers. Sometime 3-4 times a day. I have a special plastic vat to do this. It is a pain in the ass but sure beats the hell out of spreading rock snot, whirling disease or a dozen other pathogens from an infected stream to a pristine stream.

[@AGDinCA]

You are a good human.

[@WayneTheSeine]

@@AGDinCA Apparently you are too....thanks

[@murunbuchstanzangur]

Another great vid. You are reinvigorating my love for botany... That andersonia involucrata looks like the erica its family is named for. I wonder if something like that was the common ancestor of heathers and the more weird looking ericacious plants down there?

[@tangobayus]

In the years ahead, as we struggle with crops, botany will pay very well.

[@NewMessage]

My ex thought there was nothing better than a large red tingle. Even if they are dead on the inside. I expect the drinking helps with that.

[@carolime13]

i really love the moss mats, any chance you could talk about the moss it's self? your videos are rad dude, congrats on the 101k you deserve many more.

I took some mushrooms once and got down on the moss mats with my viewing glass. It was quite the experience.

@2:58, the Eucalyptus, how did start as two trunks and merge into one. It looks like a fire from what I can but I'm wondering if it was specific to this species. Please and thank you. I fricken love this channel and I am not a plant guy. Slowly wanting to become one though. Sounds cool as fuck

Great videos. I used to live in south west Western Australia. The forests have been decimated by the wood chippers. Massive karri trees chopped down for cardboard. The Karri tree is the 3rd tallest tree in the world or was after Redwoods and Mountain Ash from south east Australia. Could you please tell me what lens and camera you use?

Nah, we don't get em. Not cubic enough either.

[@marinakukso]

what gave away those tiny orchids as orchids?

[@hairymcnipples]

The shape of the petals, there's particularly a highly adapted one called the labellum that's a dead give away for orchids.

If you get a chance, do a bit on "balloon plant" AKA "hairy balls", monarch butterflies feed on it, but also it's hilarious. I found one growing in my downtown (San Jose California) and it made my day.
