The answer to the extra credit question is…red nectar! What other mysterious organisms do you know of?

I love her sense of humor. She makes an already interesting topic really pop. I'm not even a student anymore and watch them for fun.

[@Nobahdee]

I feel like she would make a good teacher.

Thank you Crash Course team. My son wrote his first essay for his Earth and Space Science Honors class. In it he directly named you all as his inspirations for igniting his passion for science and making him want to channel that passion into a career. You may never read this comment, but you've touched our hearts and minds in ways that are hard to put into words and near impossible to fathom. Thank you for everything you do.

We love hearing stories like this! Tell your son that stories like his inspire /us/ to keep doing what we do. -- The Crash Course Team

In Missouri we actually had a buyback program earlier this year where the Department of Conservation gave out native trees in exchange for cutting down and removing bradford pears!

[@Ascend777]

Alexi is one of the coolest hosts of CC, along with Phil

[@williambilyeu9801]

I enjoy listening to this Crash Course. The host Alexis has an infectious fun personality. During the video I kept thinking of the tree that is supposedly threatened by the extinction of the dodo which ate and spread its seeds. 👍😄😀

[@leader_rakArc]

[@medusianAllure]

In another life, I would have become an ecologist. This was the part of biology I excelled in the most.

Cheatgrass!!! Foxtails from my youth. Combined with the yellow bulb of wild chamomile to make the coolest rocketship ever. It's amazing to learn about Cheatgrass. Thank you.

0:34 “Plants social lives are as dynamic as those in a supernatural horror crime high school drama.” So kinda like the tv show “Legacies”? Which is related to “The Originals” and “The Vampire Diaries”. Spoiler warning. I think there was a tree spirit in one of the episodes. And some of the witches spells require plants. And they made a bomb with the plants that vampires and werewolves are deadly allergic to. And only that one tree can kill that one family. Etc ect. 2:24 Also cool I didn’t know gerbils were pollinators. 8:17 That one meme with a table, That is Mohogany! 9:08 A book The Everglades, Rivers Of Grass, by Marjory Stoneman Douglas. More stuff. Cool video.

[@LucasEY]

The "Hot Goss" thumbnail had me thinking Alaska and Willam were going to make a special appearance lol

[@christinehedstrom9515]

So fantastic !

[@Im-just-Stardust]

Thanks for the video as always

[@levilukeskytrekker]

Great video, Crash Course!

[@kwatson4394]

Where can I find Eagle Fern extract?????

[@angiepen]

Now we know who Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School was named after, which is pretty cool. They deserve to have their school named after someone awesome. {{}} [Edit for spelling. :/ ]

[@Beryllahawk]

I'm guessing red petals is the answer for the end question, since that isn't posted yet as I watched this :D

[@samwill7259]

Man even my PLANTS are talking about me behind my back!

[@SanchitUniyal]

True

[@sankimalu]

Alexis, I’m your biggest FERN!😂😂😂😂

[@penniecormier8770]

What IS the answer to flowers Pollinated by Geckos? Day time or night geckos? Night blooming? Lots of nectar? Red petals?

[@Ahhahhhsiisis]

8:00 alligators are not lizards. They are more closeley related to birds than to lizards.
