The Cactus That Evolved Camouflage - Echinocereus poselgeri

[@LukeMcGuireoides]

Playing Find that Goddamned Cactus sounds like fun.

[@SuperDaveP270]

Find That Goddamn Cactus, that sounds like it could be one of my favorite games, great fun with the kids too, you should market that---get the Trademark ASAP

[@josephprimavera2545]

Brilliant!

[@mr.k7457]

Oh man sweet acacia or whatever it's called now is one of my favorite spring smells. It's wonderful

[@michaelnancyamsden7410]

This is an exquisite plant. Thanks for showing it.

[@grannyplants1764]

I had already liked this when it was first posted, watched again and enjoyed it even more after a year of your botany lessons…thanks for reposting 🌵💚

[@FoxyFoxyShazam]

Glad to hear you've got the kid out with you. Haven't heard any updates on the podcast recently, but I'm hoping it's yours and they're doing great. Echinocereus is an absolute banger -wish I lived in its native range.

How old is that specimen Joey? Spectacular!

[@terryblueberry]

every time you talk about flowers, you always mention their structures, and that helps me learn all the parts of a flower a lot better than my textbook lolll 😅 thank you so much for your dedication to plants!

[@ChristopherMarshall-gt8bn]

I am an old white guy who nevertheless loves plants, especially desert plants. I appreciate the intelligence of your videos greatly. Some suggestions for South Texas where I once lived, two species of Sideroxylon lanugo Odin and celastrinum, northern representatives of the Sapotaceae, Condalia hookeri. All three known in Spanish as Coma. And Passiflora tenuiloba. Keep up the good work.

[@JapanischErfahren]

Nevertheless???

[@MrEiht]

Very very beautiful flowers and an even cooler plant...which likes it hot.

[@wendynordstrom3487]

I love your enthusiasm!! 😍

[@64Pete]

I counted 38 flowers, what a banger!

[@krissteel4074]

38, Tony we gotta get a guy up in there!

[@anthonyp.2492]

Can't belive how much the inside of that pencil cactus looks like a pineapple...

[@katielin2379]

Some real stunners today. Thanks.

[@alexjacques2768]

That barking dog! How you didn't lose it 😂

[@craighoover1495]

Thank you. I particularly liked the Dung beetles and the moth bits. I guess I am getting used to the spectacular plants you bring routinely.

[@jamielandis4606]

You haven’t convinced your friend to ditch the grass yet?

[@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt]

It's his family's house. Grass is a religion down here.

I wanna ditch grass what should I do

Damn spell checker. Lanuginosum, celastrinum hookeri, tenuiloba

Did you tell your friend to kill his lawn?

[@RAREDRAGONFRUIT]

Stunning plant

[@OceanGraves]

Thanks for showing me echinocereus poselgeri joey, i saw you talk about em a couple episodes ago and i had to research it after. I love cacti but this one gotta be in my top 3.

[@johndesaavedra1040]

I love those urns. My mom had a pair like that that were nearly 100 years old. I have a pair now. I should plant something like this.

[@DallasPirateMike]

Beautiful Cactus…

[@colemoorhead4281]

It reminds me so much of the Peniocereus greggi that is native to my area in the sonoran desert.

[@megalotherium]

dirtytalking to myself about cactus right now

[@jorat8160]

Great video! Side note: I believe the spider that got a little screen time is a argiope argentata, not a. aurantia :)

[@sowmindful1501]

11:44 Shit Beatles are amazing. You found some pretty ones.

[@mercedesmcvey1776]

You sound like you are from Chicago? You sound like a family member, making me homesick for the Chi! Thanks for this video, I want to grow this plant and I live in Phoenix now. Just what I wanted to know. Bravo. Good video.

[@tomanderson7129]

Got some seeds from Mesa Garden and I have a bunch of seedlings of these because of this video.

[@jimboyett7211]

I’d love to add this to my family but I can’t find it anywhere for sale!

[@Erewhon2024]

1. I think Peniocereus scrambles & mimics similarly? 2. Some Echinocerei are said to taste like strawberries. Any thoughts on whether E. poselgeri would be worth cultivation specifically for its fruit?

[@raphlvlogs271]

are there dung beetles that can feed on human poop? or do they all just feed on the poop of herbivorous animals?

[@StalkerNaturaliste]

I am the kind of cactus nerd that grow things like that. I love the tuberous Acanthocereus, Peniocereus kind of thing.

[@ellium1147]

Glad shit beetles got their own segment 😂

[@RobinMarks1313]

No, most spider moms don't eat the dads. But, some do and some of the Black Widows will eat the males if they are hungry. The males can smell the pheromones of the females and can tell if they are hungry or full. I love spiders. Don't kill them. Put them outside alive if you don't like living with them.

[@vangu2918]

Kicking Spiders Out of Your Home A lot of time a person’s first reaction to a spider in their home is to kill it. Then, there are also people who want to rescue the spider and take it outside back to their “habitat”. The thing is, a House Spider’s habitat is not outside, it’s your home. By putting the spider outside, it probably won’t survive outside of its habitat and will die.

[@RobinMarks1313]

@@vangu2918 I agree, many spiders won't survive outside unless they find a new home, maybe a shed. But, even if they don't survive, they'll be food for the outside spiders or preying mantis, or bird. Give them a fighting chance, or give them as food to another creature.

[@benm5407]

Some spiders eat their mummy

[@williamchamberlain2263]

[@i-love-comountains3850]

Better a swift passing or a slow and arduous one?🤔

[@barbie_t]

I just found this video and I'm so happy I did. I am growing this from seed. Do you know how long it takes from germination to bloom? I can't really find much information on growing it from seed at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated ❤

[@titoreyna3799]

I thought pencil cactus was Cylindropuntia Leptocaulis?

[@raphlvlogs271]

these tall pots are perfect for growing droopy plants

What's going on? Hope dogs n fam are well. Say hi to dogs.

[@Thetriumphantanaconda]

Will a cutting grow a tuber 4:05 ?

[@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt]

Absolutely

[@sicko_the_ew]

Dung beetles can be quite impatient (well the little iridescent ones, anyway). Squat for a shit in the bush, with nothing around but you, some bushes, and a scoop in the ground, and out of nowhere the little green dung beetles will come flying in, the moment you release all that fart perfume. And they go straight for the target, and crash into the area around your arsehole during the dropping of the shit. And then you start laughing, and somehow manage to shit on your heel.

[@dylansmith3148]

Would love to see you do a collection of videos on South and West African species of plants. Specifically Euphorbia's and other cool succulent type species.

[@AlAllerton]

Pretty sure he already did some, not all that long ago either.

[@quercus_opuntia]

That's a fucking ECHINOCEREUS???
