Meat eating plants, living fossils & a Plant scientist @ UC Davis

I am very very excited to share my visit to the UC Davis Botanical conservatory with all of you watching around the world. I was fortunate enough to be able to take an in-depth tour of the facility with Ernesto Sandoval who is both the director and curator of the greenhouses there. What a amazing gift it was. I have only listened to Ernestos talks you can find online so to be able to hang out with him very indeed special. There are so many interesting plants in the video I know you'll love it! Thanks for being here.
THE QUEST CONTINUES...
Special thank you to @crazy4cactus for being my road dog and camera man on this epic quest. I can't imagine doing it without you homeboy!
Thanks to Artie for making the connection between Ernesto and I, Thanks man!
I usually produce all the beats in my videos as music has always been my first love however this go round I used a few tunes from www.epidemicso...
Last but not least please check out my online merchandise shop and grab a tshirt or hoodie if you'd like to support the channel.

[@JoseGarcia-oc7dj]

Amazing video - Mr. Sandoval has such passion and charisma!

[@zoutewand]

I'm vegan and I don't really care about carnivorous plants. You can't force things to be what they aren't. Edit: can that nectar be used like honey? Or refined into syrup for use in cooking or drinks or something? What a cool person to interview.

[@KenzieLaMar]

Amazing video. I learned so much. Dorstenia are some of my favorite plants along with Stapeliads. I'm rooting a bunch of cuttings now and the instructions told me to root them horizontally! I will go and tip them upright tomorrow.

[@LarsLarsen77]

Those Dorstenias are THICCCCC

[@Emre-K]

Wonderful rare plants, thanks for sharing. Dendrosicyos socotranum is my dream species.

[@manoonmeboon8127]

I like verry much .

[@msjudypatootie]

Another Awesome episode Hunter‼️ Kevin did such a great job filming this‼️ I really like listening to Ernesto talk about plants cuz he makes it interesting and informative and at the same time fun with some corny but funny jokes. Great job to everyone‼️🙌🏽🙌🏽💯💯🤩🤩

[@msjudypatootie]

@@crazy4cactus731 Looking forward to Your next Quest with Hunter‼️

[@hollymahler8213]

I live in TX and water all my cactus and succulents everyday or two. I make my soil and it is a balance or rich+ sandy loam+ compost and shale and my plants are dreamy and happy...unless I am trying to stress them to make them have more color.

[@HOODBOSS5000]

Awesome the carnivorous plants are rad!

[@crazy4cactus731]

Agree HoodBoss!

[@TristanThompsonCompilationBros]

Awesomeness!!!

[@LukeMcGuireoides]

The convergent evolution of pitchers, on nitrogen deprived plants, on opposite sides of the planet, is mindblowing

[@LukeMcGuireoides]

Wow, I didn't know there were also pitcher plants on the tepuis of s america

[@LESCSS2019]

Hell ya!

[@fish_narc]

[@edithcoliagrandis]

Tons of very useful info! Amazing specimens too! Ernesto’s enthusiasm is simply contagious. Just wondering if he believes in CAM as he said he waters in the morning. Maybe early morning.🤔

[@patchd7]

Your videos keep getting better and better!

[@kendrakrishnan1432]

Spray furtilicer on a pitcher plant and it will stop make pitchers i learned that the hard way

[@morrisparkintheozarks6831]

In answer to your question, " vegans and carnivorous plants" ? Yes! Lyn of Desert plants of Avalon! She and her partner Hans both are vegan and grow carnivorous plants!! Peace, Love, Plants!!!
