Oaxaca Cloud Forests Part 2

This video was sponsored by Curiosity Stream. Check out curiositystrea... for more of their brain-expanding content.
In this second video featuring the flora of high-altitude Southern Oaxaca forests we take a look at various members of these diverse and sacred biodiversity hotspots, featuring but not limited to :
Artorima erubescens (Orchidaceae)
Hermannia inflata (Malvaceae)
Cosmos diversifolius (Asteraceae)
Manfreda pringlei
Pinus chiapensis
Begonia sp.
Salvia sp.
Cuphea sp.
The plant referred to as a *Psacalium is actually Verbesina turbacensis, at least it is being called that (it is not, and differs from this species on a number of ways)until someone can work on the genus and get it sorted out phylogenetically.
Your contributions support this content. It sounds clichéd, but it's true. Whether it's travel expenses, vehicle repair, or medical costs for urushiol poisoning (or rockfalls, beestings, hand slices, toxic sap, etc), your financial support allows this content to continue so the beauty of Earth's flora can be made accessible to the rest of us in the degenerate public. At a time when so much is disappearing beneath the human footprint, CPBBD is willing to do whatever it takes to document these plant species and the ecological communities they are a part of before they're gone for good.

I am a huge fan of all your work.. I actually live in Oaxaca, in the eastern side near to Veracruz.. San Juan Bautista Tuxtepec... If you are ever near to here, our door is always open to you... I grew up in family nursery business, being from north east Texas when I first moved here I was amazed at the tropical flora here ... Your videos are great, keep up the good work

[@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt]

Send me an email. I will visit! Headed back down to Oaxaca next summer to film limestone lower elevation habitat in July or August

[@hankvine2149]

The same issues here in our area of Oaxaca, my mother-in-law has a section of land ( 30 acres approximately) we spent two months clearing the underbrush last year, earlier this year my wife went to the property and it had been completely clearcut..I was heartbroken, we had plans to build a small house on the property..

That passiflora has a really pretty flower. Pale green petals and a purple and white speckled corolla. I'm currently wintering my passifora hybrids as Ottawa's climate isn't hospitable currently. Very dark and cold.

Southern Jefferson county/southern county border Louisville Metro, a mid 1970's suburb that has a monster Willow Oak growing across the street in the strip of land between the sidewalk and road, hasn't disturbed the sidewalk any while Maples a hundred feet away has all the side walks/drive ways buckled. looks very similar to your thin leaved Oak, I didn't know what a Willow Oak was, first time I'd seen one, ask a tree specialist where my wife works, Louisville Gas & Electric, and he identified it for me.

[@mikeemmons1079]

So happy for this series. Adding it to our home school. Yes, my house isnt PG either.

[@drewncarolina6381]

The manfreda is becoming more common due to some really nice selections and breeding. Also you can get a Mangave a manfreda x agave hybrid, these are increasingly popular if you can find them. They bloom faster than agave and don't die after flowering. A good thing about this is it may help keep folks from digging them out of the wild and they're excellent pollinators too.

[@Ludvig11]

It kind of reminds me of moist days in nice forests in Sweden but many times more magical and more beautiful.

Phytolacca is a genus I am most familiar with here in South Georgia, Phytolacca americana, tries to crowd out my other native plants with fervor.

Can you elaborate on an herbarium voucher? Very curious about the specifics, is it something you apply for similar to hunting tags where you're granted to take a certain amount of certain species back to the states? Is it just for any number of species or are they pretty specific?

[@paytonlott5183]

a voucher is just the word for a preserved sample of a plant stored in an herbarium. Although a tag system like that would be interesting especially for threatened plants that are harvested for medicine

Poop isn't a real problem. Micro plastics are the new nightmare. I'll stop there. I'm a curious fellow. However, I used to watch all the docs about nature, but I can't watch anymore. I even remember when we believed lemmings committed suicide. Shame. Now, every time I watch one, they always end the same way. I can't tolerate the depressing message at the end when they talk about human impacts. Grim. Sorry. I only wanted to defend poop because I'm trying to wrap my mind around poop being a valuable resource. Support clean water. Everything depends on it.

[@susanfarley1332]

While taking horticulture one of the classes was ecology. I had to research and write a paper on sewage sludge and it's uses. One of the things I found out (this was back in the early 70's) was that tilapia carp in Asia was raised and fed on sewage sludge. Not a problem for me until recent years when everyone is enthusiastically eating tilapia. Even though I am sure it's not being fed sewage sludge now it still turns my stomach when I see it for sale in grocery stores.
