No Molestar a Mutisia sinuata (con gas) - Alpine Plants of the High Andes

While simultaneously pissing you off as well as teaching you about biogeography, Tony goes off on a series of rants on about 600 MG of caffeine at an elevation of roughly 10,000' (3250 meters for you pompous bastards in the back complaining about feet as a unit of measurement).
Here we will dissect a Mutisioid Aster (Aka "Dinosaur Sunflower") while threatening fluffy violence for those that cannot distinguish between a bilabiate floret corolla and a non-mutisioid composite-family corolla. Consolation points will be awarded for those that cannot distinguish between sarcasm and authenticity.
Can patrons at a high end ski resort and rare alpine plants of the Central Andes live together in harmony, even if the fresas 🍓 don't know said plants are there? Why did security meatheads not escort field botanists out or threaten them with a fine for visiting this area? Do Great-Horned Owls shoplift (we hope so)? Watch his episode of CPBBD to find out.

Thank god for Teddy Roosevelt or there would be condos hanging off of the Grand Canyon or crowding out the flora and fauna of Yellowstone...public very unwelcome.

[@Buzzygirl63]

I just crack up when you say "ohhhh that's so naaaaaaaaaiiiis!" LOL. Equally annoying is the way us Minnesotans say "bag."

[@seanc6128]

Absolutely everything is fascinating if you look at it right.

[@papapetad]

Kickin' rocks in the andean mountains, throwin' a coupla jabs at snow junkies and their resort architecture, chattin' up an owl. Quality video. Class act.

[@willi-fg2dh]

you forgot to mention one thing about pyroclastic flows . . . those rocks rushing down at you at 100mph . . . ARE ON FIRE!!!!!

[@dage316]

Yes you're absolutely correct I got my love and interest for Plants when i found a plant that contains thc

[@alohathaxted]

As a bat I can finally say thank you for mentioning that we pollinate cactus flowers.

[@jesusxsmn]

Token abuelita plant is absolutely spot-on to describe brugmansia lmao

[@SetTheCurve]

This guy knows more about Andean botany than I know about the weeds in my own yard 😖 wish I knew how to start knowing stuff like this.

[@junglie]

The owl was a nice bonus at the end.

[@Eblis840]

This botany loving bastard always puts a smile on my face.

[@lilcrumb6420]

Skip the coffee and go native and chew the coca leaves. It's great for high altitude situations and keeps you alert like caffeine.

I grow trichocereus chiloensis in my arid bed in London, U.K. Its so great to see mature specimens 😁🌵😁

[@austynross]

The structure of those Nassauvia look absolutely like they could belong in the Crassula genus, and those Violas could hang out in a Sempervivum-only bar no problem.

[@royahold1966]

It's always nice when one of these pops up in notifications. It makes the day go by better some how.

[@larryclark1518]

I took the time to watch you climb, listen to you opine, but I do not mind, as I find it to be fiiiine. ‘Til the next time (thyme?), I am forever indebted to you for the knowledge you share.
