wow, your flower photography skills are just the best. Some real stunners in this one. Quite apart from your entertainment value, and apart from your educational content, I appreciate your going out to these places and showing me these specimens in their native habitat. Never in 1,000 years would I be hiking around in the Atacama desert to see all those beautiful plants. New Caledonia next! Then maybe Haida Gwai?

[@peterbernhardt5169]

Thanks for the New Years gift. When a Solanum flower has a long tube but the corolla is creasing and pale yellow it's probably pollinated by hawk moths or sphinx moths. Probably has a good, penetrating, smell as the sun sets.

[@800tigers5]

"Is that what shrinks are for, you prick?" I can't breathe lol

[@Nhoj31neirbo47]

(31:30) - Lichen absorbs nitrogen from the air. When it falls to the ground some of the nitrogen gets deposited into the surrounding soil. Thus these coastal species are probably getting fertilized by the lichen. This phenomenon is known to occur in the coast Redwood forest and other locales.

[@DistractedDaisy]

You're a nut case.. Beautiful Star Flower.. I've never seen something as pretty and diabolical.

[@rachiesayd9423]

What a Banger video!!! No need to worry about shifting nomenclature, delighted to hear you agree with me on the overzealous name changes by the botanist class! Sooo many specimens I have never seen nor heard of before!!! From that freaky oxalis to the first Copiapoa which reminds me of some wrinkled shriveled old man dicks I have seen... A real head scratcher that Nicotiana with the large leaves growing in such an arid landscape!!! This particular video has even families I have never heard of! Oh and the star of the show, Rhodophiala!!! Looks to me like Nerine, the one I am familiar with is R. Bifida... You also had a yellow flowered one in another video, they are all fabulous and I can't imagine why the others are not in the trade!!! There must be collectors out there somewhere who cultivate them... Thanks for opening my eyes to the many wonders living in the Atacama, since there is no way I could possibly go see the for myself!!! I'm actually going to watch this one again, it was so goddamn good!!!

[@troyclayton]

I actually said "Oxalis?" right before you did. Lucky guess, but it warmed my heart. Wood sorrel is one of my 2 earliest memories of plants, I was eating it at like age 5-8 (and hiding it) as a child in the Pacific Northwest. Now I eat it in Maine, 40+ years later. So cool to see a it as a woody perennial in a desert. Thank you again. (didn't watch the full video until today, stuff to do).

[@drop5926]

What's the difference between the indumentum and tricomes?

[@drop5926]

If you see only one like on my comment it's mine, due to lack of close physical contact as a child i have learned to love myself in Multiple ways ;)

[@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt]

Indumentum is a covering of trichomes... But only if the trichomes are hairy. Trichomes can also be glandular... Like in weed or in any of the other thousands of sticky plants out there. But... Trichomes can also be scaly, or just dry hairs, again, like in Spanish "moss" or tillandsia.

O.gigantia does fine in pots in the bay area...blooms and all. Its when you put them in our clay soils thats a no-no. You must with them put lots of perlite mixed or blended into the native soil. The trichocereus are fine as is unless it stays TOO winter wet in the yard. The Cistanthus is doppleganger to the many Crassula "pagoda" type species with stacked leaves from South Africa. I have to put that on the list for sure.
