Botanical Oddities from Around the World

Before getting thrown out of a University Conservatory, we manage to get some nice moneyshotz of some extremely rare and unique plants from around the world, including the tree cucumber Dendrosicyos socotranus from the island of Socotra, and Osa pulchra - a moth pollinated member of the coffee family that's critically extinct in the wild. We also see a half-erect corpse flower a week or two before climaxing.
Your contributions support this content. It sounds clichéd, but it's true. Whether it's travel expenses, vehicle repair, or medical costs for urushiol poisoning (or rockfalls, beestings, hand slices, toxic sap, etc), your financial support allows this content to continue so the beauty of Earth's flora can be made accessible to the rest of us in the degenerate public. At a time when so much is disappearing beneath the human footprint, CPBBD is willing to do whatever it takes to document these plant species and the ecological communities they are a part of before they're gone for good.

Correction on your bee pheromone talk... The alarm/stress pheromone is produced by the Koschevnikov gland, which is at the base of the stinger. That pheromone smells like bananas. The Nasonov gland is between the last few sections of the abdomen on top, and produces a pheromone that attracts other honeybees. It smells very similar to lemongrass. It's used to direct a swarm or guide a queen back from mating. Love your videos!

Very cool that you had free reign to film in this greenhouse. I’ve heard Ernesto S. talk about many of these plants. It was fun to hear your take on some of them. I had a chance to purchase a young Dendrosicyos socotranus a few years ago. I was attracted to it because it’s endemic to Socotra and that’s a big plus for a plant enthusiast like me. The grower wanted $75. Unfortunately at the time, I didn’t know much about the species or whether I could keep it alive, , so I decided to pass on it. I’ve since regretted that decision. It was a healthy, seed grown plant.

[@halcyondaysago]

I regret not taking more cuttings when I volunteered there. Ernesto was cool with you propagating almost anything because it was a learning experience. Saw some people take dorstenia cuttings. Oh well, at least I introduced a few species of passiflora that were probably tossed a by now.

A few years ago a flight with Yemenia Airways from Cairo to Socotra was not overly expensive. A friend of mine looked into it, as Socotra was quiet (unlike the rest of Yemen). It is complicated to pay the fare (and your ESTA status will be ruined if you're not American). Currently Socotra isn't safe though and I assume the pandemic doesn't help either. It sounded like a trip too far for me!
