Fantastic botanizing and film making

[@creaturefree]

Thanks and bravo to Pascal for his film making, a long creative work. In some way, everything is easier for me since I study tropical forest shade loving plants since the mid seventies...

Thank you for sharing! What amazing plants out in the jungle. I love what you do! Truly an inspiration! Those were some huge Alocasia’s, the biggest I’ve ever seen! I love Alocasia’s

[@creaturefree]

Yes, in Borneo you can observe the biggest and the smallest species of Alocasia, all of them being so beautiful.

[@erde1279]

Thank you so so much for these videos. It is always a highlight of my week when I see a new one out.

Une autre video tres interessante, mais cette fois ci en malesie, ou je suis ne. Merci pour la partager avec nous.

I love Malaysia where I did go for the first time as a young student at Paris University in 1972...

[@ruleoflaw2954]

You might as well consider a hiking stick so you can walk safely and could easily clear your paths of small obstructions, this also prevents you from using your hands from directly or accidentally touching some unwanted things that could injure your fingers. Keep on posting these excellent content.

[@creaturefree]

I don't like at all to have a stick to walk in the tropical forests. Same about the boots : I love to wear simple tissue shoes in order to have the direct contact with water, rocks, sand or mud. Of course, at the beginning, especially in the eighties and nineties, I have got most of the tropical diseases and parasites but, just as you can see, I am still alive... Thanks to watch and love our films.

The son of venustiano Carranza speaks

[@IraRitchieMeek]

Thank you for these videos. Have you considered a trip to Yakushima, Yanbaru or Ishigaki in Japan? There are some very biodiverse large regions of untouched sub tropical forest there.

[@creaturefree]

I agree, Japan is very rich in forest species and we have been there many times, mostly in Southern Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu and Okinawa... And many times in Taiwan... We did not film. Filming and producing the result takes a long time... Probably we'll go quite soon to Yakushima.

Congratulations Patrick for showing us beautiful plants and congrats also for you Pascal for the marvellous work in filming and producing this document All the best for Future!

Mon Dieu, votre belle Mandragore a disparu. Il faut dire que nous avons été très absents cette année en raison de nos multiples voyages, le plus souvent dans les forêts : sud de Inde, Malaisie, Cameroun, Nouvelle Calédonie, nord de la Thaïlande et même un saut à Tokyo pour les Murs... Pascal travaille en ce moment sur les films Nouvelle Calédonie.

[@mandrakemandragore2078]

Bonjour Patrick, Meilleurs voeux pour 2024! Ah les voyages avec toujours des pantes et lieux extraordinaires à découvrir....Les mandragores officinales sont en repos végétatif entre juin et décembre. Elle devrait recommencer a pousser en janvier avec l'apparition des fleurs (Il faut toujours laisser les mandragores a l'extérieur (elles supportent très bien le froid et ce sont les pluies automnales/hivernales qui déclenche la pousse en Janvier. A bientôt, Amitiés à Pascal,@@creaturefree

[@chrisn9988]

Do you ever plan on filming an episode in the Congo forests?

[@creaturefree]

Yes, we hope so. You can already see some films about African forest plants on our Creaturefree channel : 3 films about Tanzania, including the Eastern Arc mountains with many species similar to Congo species, 2 films on Malawi, also including forest species, 2 films on Ethiopia...

Sarcopyramis sp le melastomataceae iridescent peut être parvifolia

[@creaturefree]

Probably not a Sarcopyramis but, just as I name it, the young stage of Sonerila maculata, a widespread species which is very variable about leaf colour and design. On this page you'll see the transition between the small iridescent stage close to the ground and the adult stage : www.verticalgardenpatrickblanc.com/inspiration/leaf-colors-and-structures-2?page=9 Sonerila has symmetry 3 in flowers and fruits while Sarcopyramis has symmetry 4. Moreover, many Sonerila species are blue iridescent, just as you can see some other Bornean species on this page : www.verticalgardenpatrickblanc.com/inspiration/leaf-colors-and-structures-2?page=7

[@xavierg4446]

@@creaturefree Thanks you for your explanations. It's a pleasure to learn from you. Doing Sonerila maculata seedlings should be maravelous. I have read your book "Être plante à l'ombre des forêts tropicales" by the way.

[@sdqsdq6274]

hmm the orang is eating the bark or brushing it teeth , mystery ......

[@creaturefree]

Yes, he is sucking the sap and latex. It seems that this Artocarpus anisophyllus (Moraceae like Ficus) has important medicinal properties and this is probably why the orang utan is exfoliating the bark. Poor Artocarpus, maybe no longer alive, at least concerning its upper branches.

[@EliezaBaby]

You should go to Brazil and do aroids from that side of the world 🌎

[@creaturefree]

Concerning this side of the world, you'll see many Aroids in our film on the forests of Mashpi in Ecuador and many other species in our 4 films on forests of Peru. And don't forget our films on Cuba and Colombia....
