kingdom of plants - Sir David Attenborough

[@marcswanson7066]

Yet another Attenborough masterpiece. In a sane world we would have far more botanic gardens and fewer military bases.

[@V77710]

How about we set up military bases who defend us against invasive species and weeds

[@aaronbed-h4c]

I would agree.... Thet the world could be overall saner... Less megalomania for sure.... But don't forget.... That plants can grow very aggressively... And some of them are even violent in the case of the Venus flytrap an the strangler fig

[@ArnoSchlick]

In a sane world, we would have enough of both of them.

[@turbokat24]

In the real world, developed nations wouldn't have the luxury of botanical gardens without military bases to act as a deterrent against threats to their existence, if nothing else. And the power to back it up is an added bonus.

[@ArnoSchlick]

@@marcswanson7066 Kew Garden is an effort and result of an imperialistic, war oriented Great Britain Empire. 🤷

[@trevordickson8617]

We don't get enough documentaries about botany. We get plenty about fauna but the flora of our world seem to miss out a lot. Two of the best come from Sir David. This one & 'The Private Life Of Plants'. Thank you David Attenborough & the BBC. I, for one, would love to see more programs about plants. 🌷🌼🌻🪻🌹💖

[@George7Baldwin]

crime Pays but Botany Doesnt, another good source.

[@agnelomascarenhas8990]

I wish there were videos on plant classification with an emphasis on the keys. Plant reproduction and the necessary environmental conditions also helpful. This type of information would help proper plant conservation by amateurs.

Today my elderly father feeling unwell. I sent him this. It's perfect, as he is a master ornithologist and avid nature photographer. Cheers!

[@Im-just-Stardust]

Very good idea ! Hope your father will get better friend.

[@Marionettemonty]

I hope your father is feeling better now.

[@sksk-bd7yv]

Thank you for the ❤. He's 93, so I know time is running out. That makes sending him ❤ extra important.

[@cattymajiv]

Another masterpiece from the BBC! They are, and always have been, the world's best at making documentaries. So proud my grandma worked for the BBC.

[@MsAngie-he5uv]

Sir. David Attenborough is and will forever be a GLOBAL treasure. Thank you for sharing some of his best contributions to humanity. He's a wonderful example of "if purpose was a person!" May he never go unacknowledged and unappreciated. He has taught us all! 💯🙏🏾

[@stephenconnolly3018]

He is to great to be claimed just by the British.

[@Im-just-Stardust]

Thank you youtube algorithm for recommending this to me. Much needed.

[@2105lilly]

I am today years old...Richard Attenborough, actor who played John Hammond in the original Jurassic Park (old guy who owns the park) was David Attenborough's older brother!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@ABCDEFGHFU]

Roll..... Took you long enuf. 😂😂 enjoy! 😂😂

[@cattymajiv]

For many decades David was considered a failure compared to his knighted brother. But David is actually the one who has done far more good for the world!

[@0ptimal]

What. Holy moly

49:27 Thank you Carlos Magdalena for your hard work and ingenuity saving a species from extinction! My hat goes off to you.

[@AnavonRebeur]

Carlos Magdalena learnt how to deceive other beings. He even said he discovered a " new nenufar" just by....changing the original name !!! ( it was only wrong labelled) He is a big fake,only eager for fame and fortune He knows I know and he got mad at me.

The quest for knowledge has been stellar in the UK, for many years. 🦁 Sir David Attenborough has been shining example, to the world 👉 be amazed & LOVE nature. 💖 Thank you! 🥰

[@ginkodragon]

I had a chance to spend a day in Kew Gardens a few years ago. I loved exploring the grounds, but that hot/glass house was amazing! It is a huge, impressive feat of engineering! The variety of species of plants housed in it, provided a rich textureal beauty for eye. I could have spent more time there.

[@GreenCanvasInteriorscape]

Curious how much admission is? They accomplished those greenhouses 100 plus years ago and have only refined them, to think that the oldest potted plant dwells there since the 1700s. I'm in Minnesota where we have the Como conservatory dating back 110 years and it was recently updated and restored. We also have teaching greenhouses at the University of Minnesota St Paul campus which are exquisite and state of the art,

[@cattymajiv]

Especially in frozen Minnesota!

[@bonniejean1649]

[@UltraHighNetWorthIndividual]

Sir David Attenborough has once again shown us the power and the glory. What he reveals and how he goes about doing so makes him unique among the Universal entities and if it was within my power I would bestow immortality upon him, restore his youth and yodel in his honor from atop the Matterhorn. May he be given his rightful place and recognized from here unto eternity!

[@ellenmcintyre1247]

What a trip! I have been a nurseryperson my whole working life and I had no idea that plants were so awfully complex! The deal with the passion flower behind and the pollinators!!!

[@DeathsNitemareShepardOfHope]

Oh yeah. Plants are crazy awesome, they're just really slow about it. Except for the ones that are actually pretty fast in some ways 😅👍

I loved the plant with a pollen dispenser triggered by the bat pushing into the flowermfor nectar. Sneaky plants! They domesticated (and genetically changed) the mikrorobots of insects to serve their needs. And we were all happier for it!

[@JoshuahnJackstonburg]

Plants are so intelligent - their myriad forms and functions are actually animated brains in hardened living thought action and feeling.

[@briseboy]

One must agree! THe Jainist and Buddhist presumption of "sentience" was demonstrably inaccurate , at least to me as a child, and hopefully to EVERYONE by now. Our arrogation of the term for merely neuron-containing organisms has too long ignored the fact that we, like the "lowliest" of species follow nutritive gradients, and withdraw from noxious increases. Although the peculiarities of my own species cause me to feel stress when a redwood tree (around 2500 year individual lifespan, and thus far more important to the earth than any human - it exchanging CO2 from the atmosphere to sequester it for significantly beyond its own life, and give oxygen to the entire animalia and fungi world) is cut/extinguished, certainly other species recognize hormonally and pheromonally (or at least through their selected useful ability to change production of important molecules which constitute signaling) events not at their normal temporal scaling - "opportiunites and/or catastrophes", BEST assessed by the organism involved, NOT by humans

[@cattymajiv]

Brazil's environmental record is dismal and shameful. Soon there will be nothing at all left of the Amazon forest, which is mostly centered on Brazil. They are also extremely abusive of the indigenous people there. What a disgusting country.

[@natyfaria2504]

@@cattymajiv Hipócrita! Vergonhoso são os estrangeiros que estão desmatando e incendiando a floresta Amazônica e levando espécie vegetativa para seus países. O Brasil que é o povo não tem nada haver com isso. É a exploração estrangeira que está crescendo aqui. Deveria estar indignado pelas florestas da Europa e da América do Norte que sempre tiveram esse costume pérfido de matar animais das próprias florestas de incêndio-las e estão no Brasil fazendo as mesmas coisas.

Beautiful series, I love this stuff. Wonder what the plants do when they don't have those bats, birds and specialty bugs needed to reproduce......do they give up or are the gardeners there helping them out and faking it for them by other means or maybe, just maybe it's an endless life of disappointment. 😢😢

[@paulharvey2396]

❤In terms of personal faith, I have become convinced that David Attenborough's wonderful teaching and the recording of the beauty and mystery of the natural world, is a kind of holy text, and I am filled with gratitude for this gift, and I wish more strongly than ever before, to protect our beautiful planet for future generations, both human and non-human -- I am moved to say -- Help us O Lord, all people alive today, to work more constructively to protect and restore this precious home, our planet earth, amen❤

Hello everyone. Are there any plant documentaries like this that you recommend?

[@pcelik7614]

@ thank you 🫶🏻 happy new year too!! 🎄

[@cattymajiv]

You are very welcome! You could also substitute the word "plant" or "trees" with "forests", "rain forest", "the Amazon", "flowers", or "fungi". You can find documentaries on any other topic that interests you too, like airplanes, animals, horses, photography, medicine, ancient history, philosophy, linguistics, South America, China, music, your favorite artist's name, downhill skiing, entomology, nuclear physics, astronomy, true crime, how to fix a car or grow specific types of plants, how to deliver newborn puppiss, how to cook different meals, fix a leaky pipe, apply a wig, makeup, false fingernails, how to dance, or anything else you can imagine! You can use a very broad search term or one that is very specific. There are documentaries on almost everything imaginable here on KZbin. On the opening page, and on many other pages, there is a tiny icon near the top right corner of a small magnifying glass. Clicking on It takes you to the search page.

[@สุวรรณาโฮฟมันน์]

Hello nice beautiful

[@FirstnameLastname-ps4cu]

Do any plants have two types of flowers, one designed for butterflies and another designed for bees?

[@briseboy]

One noticeable evolutionary adaptation separate from the Taro, occurs in leaves, and even grooved stems, that shunt precipitation directly to their root bulbs, which, unlike the broadly distributed and interlacing roots of many forest trees, modulate through sharing. When one is in closed canopy forests, one easily notes such redistributions, which allow increased mutualism - other trees are essential to protect individuals from storm winds, and such redistribution benefits the WHOLE forest through strengthening healthy interconnections.

[@oscarmarfori613]

2:19:19 Its hard to think about plants and trees that had undergone extinction, I remember eating some sort of a very tasty root crop like a mix between a Ginger and sweet potato that my Mother used to cook for me when I was still a.child and now is nowhere to be found and probably had gone extinct we can't find it anymore even in the very old markets

[@jolienhazewinkel295]

Interesting as ever, but the music is often too loud and not in balance with the voice of David Attenborough. 2:27:05

[@musiclvr6385]

How did the passionflower know what butterflies look like in order to evolve its leaves to mimic their shape? And that orchid that mimics what a female bee looks and smells like? This suggests that they can see shapes and color as well as smell. Then there’s that huge leap in plant evolution in which they all began to produce flowers. It’s like they suddenly became “aware” with some sort of consciousness.
