Exploring the World of Plants and Fungi

[@Imperiused]

This plant basically does the movie villain trick of blackmailing the hero by poisoning them then dangling the only antidote! The world of plants never ceases to surprise me

[@debreczeniarpad9956]

Its more of a motivation-by-addiction type of case.

[@TroyColey]

I personally recommend making floralogic it’s own channel.

[@bilbamannoni]

i asked this like a year ago still waiting yall🗿

[@TroyColey]

@@bilbamannoni yes 👍

[@Atlas99973]

Soooo.. what I was thinking 🧐

[@TroyColey]

@@Atlas99973 yes 👍

[@CharliMorganMusic]

I think plants are more interesting than plants. I do not know why.

[@ninjawithnobalance]

I never get tired of floralogic. Plants are so amazing and this show made it even more amazing 😍

[@Nameless_mixes]

How does Tasha have a new hairstyle every episode and look just as amazing in each of them? 😭🙌💚

[@666kittycat666]

Because she’s an icon and we don’t deserve her 😭

[@LuinTathren]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@brigidtheirish]

First, she probably goes to a professional stylist. Second, she's Tasha *the Amazon.* Not only is she naturally going to rock any style imaginable, but no stylist would *dare* screw up.

[@Beryllahawk]

Certainly adds to the appeal of the show :D Every time I see a Floralogic upload it makes my day!

[@kelseycox8632]

I love her style, but am I the only one who just loves her eyes? She has such gorgeous eyes.

[@AntsCanada]

Totally love this! 🐜❤️ Ant love forever!

[@azaleamirna9542]

Very much oh noes.

[@varoalvaro-vr3mv]

Wish you luck

[@frostbitedragon9]

off course your here on the floralogic episode with ants 😅

[@southwesthardypalms]

The fact that the ants destroy any seedlings that grow near the mother plant is absolutely insane

[@sunshinecarnivores1919]

Bullhorn acacia: You are now my loyal minions! Ant minions: We hear and obey master!

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

Truly diabolical…almost, dare I say, human.

[@peggedyourdad9560]

The more I learn about nature, the more I realize humans aren't really all that removed from it when it comes to our behavior.

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

@@peggedyourdad9560 we are animals always trying to we’re the best ones…and proving we aren’t with our proofs…

[@brigidtheirish]

@@peggedyourdad9560 There are two big differences between humans and all other creatures. The first is that we can change our environment on a much larger scale. The second is that we're capable of *caring* about the effect we have. You don't see any other predator agonizing over whether it's "humane" to kill other creatures or not, for instance.

[@cedriceric9730]

@@brigidtheirish the biggest difference besides those you've mentioned is our ability to harness fire , our bodies are literally optimised to use fire as a tool, there is absolutely nothing in all of nature like us

[@williamsurname4669]

I'd love to hear more about that cute crab too.

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

Met Acacia in Texas and Arizona…not in this level but still prickly!😊

[@marco8773]

Those evil buggers will bite you as soon as you touch any part of the plant, but these thorns make for cool looking pipes, and I don't know if the acid of the ants do something but you get soooooo high!

[@mathmeetsmusic]

What an awesome plant!! Love how animated Tasha is in this episode!

[@cyrilio]

Floralogic is so amazing. Love all the work you do.

[@SuperHansburger93]

I never get tired of the small bloopers at the end of the Floralogic videos. Tasha totally smokes some of the plants she talks about XD

[@6852660]

Please talk about phantom orchids next please!

[@aaronnekrin5150]

I think they may have already?

[@brigidtheirish]

@@aaronnekrin5150 I'm pretty sure some variety of orchid was covered, maybe orchids in general, but I don't recall this *particular* type being discussed in any detail.

[@badbenito]

On tour in Nicaragua we were warned to avoid the "Cornizuelo" or risk being eaten alive by ants.

[@theoccidilian4896]

When scientists experimentally excluded grazers from African acacias, they stopped producing food pellets, the ants left, and they got overgrown by other plants.

[@DddEee-bx7fb]

Ant-ca-shale: suncost:250,hp:2500,recharge:10secs,attack range: 3×3/minions,plant food: spawns a gar-antuar on a random lain and gains 2× her original hp, enforce-mint/enchant-mint (description). She will target the weakest zombie when planted and will spawns an antboid at about 5secs after that she'll start targeting stronger zombies and spawn an antboid version of the zombie she killed if the zombies are closed to her at an area she'll start shaking the ground at a 3×3 radius, zombies on the top lain will be shaken back while the bottom lain in front damaging them process. Ant-ca-shale once said i really "love ants so i asked crazy dave to genetically modify them to become my servants"

[@bryantgrove6199]

You never think about how plants don’t want to be eaten.

[@rrai1999]

Some do! You gotta eat cherries to scarify those pits and get em ready to germinate!

[@Ciilow24]

Where are the vegetarians. we need plantvarians to protest in front of farmers

[@willcookmakeup]

This is truly crazy the plant developed enzymes to change the ants ability to eat certain foods

[@theunknownunknowns5168]

Super adore Tash! Science plus amazon lady... you just can't get any better. This whole channel is fantastic.

[@justintime2713]

The plant behind you on my right is a "Locus And Wild honey" Plant. Give it plenty of sun and it'll grow a green cone shaped fruit that smells like perfume when ripe and taste like strawberry yogurt once ready to eat.You can only eat the ripe parts where the HEXI shaped cones fall off so soak the bottom part in water. is so sweet but, acidic until ripe so be careful.

[@PLNTGMING]

Its a monstera.

[@alessandrorivera7468]

I was waiting on a well produced video on the Carnizuelo, as I know it back in Mexico

[@rinzo2009]

GRU : I am DESPICABLE! MINIONS! ATTACK!!!! BULLHORN ACACIA : Hold my ants Gru.

[@eviljoeblack]

I frigin love how much she enjoys her job lol, very interesting and informative thank you Tasha ❤

[@lokiiago_x0x]

Poor kreb

[@medusianAllure]

Some ideas that i don't think have been done: Angelica, mulberry, pawpaw, serviceberry, native plants to Ontario, jasmine, peony, reindeer moss (even though it's a lichen)

[@marianocolsin8968]

So basically, the acacia is monopoIysing the ant's by becoming their only source of food

[@seiyuokamihimura5082]

Ooooooh! How about a video on how its been scientifically proven plants can "see" and "hear"? Thats really cool too.

[@TonyPerez1981]

Acacia ants are relentless, I've been bitten by those and it's really painful.

[@eoinjaquith8280]

0:46 the pain in their eyes when they had to read that line...

[@TroyColey]

Thank you for your hard work, we all appreciate it. You are an incredible, wonderful, and amazing person. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@smilemore1997]

What about the rest of the crew? She is only the face of this channel reading a script someone else wrote.

[@TroyColey]

@@smilemore1997 Thank you for your criticism, I appreciate it. I will try my best to do better.

[@andrew6089]

they called me super spike. they call all of us super ants

[@bingobadger2723]

Tasha the Amazon is one of my favorite people, love this show

[@dareyrivas9804]

So what you're saying is the plant is leavless or bald in this case and the ants are immortal, indestructible clones, oh well then that is Gru then

[@insertfunnynamehere8984]

I love Floralogic, thank you for all these wonderful videos :)

[@seiyuokamihimura5082]

Could you do the dynamite tree? Or the brazil nut? Those are both potentially lethal fun topics!

[@brigidtheirish]

Ah yes, plants that *actively* try to kill you that *aren't* from Australia.

[@animalogic]

From 8 months ago! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH-2dYV3jtNnadU

[@andrewgraves4026]

I see you did sundews. Other carnivorous plants would be good choices. Strangler figs fit in your framework too.

[@UniDocs_Mahapushpa_Cyavana]

Angiosperms 🌱 have the most elaborate of schemes. They always be schemin'.

[@manuelbacha6023]

Tasha definitely is my favorite host on this channel!

[@soulemful]

@2:04 ...420 blaze it!

[@dracodracarys2339]

"i wonder if the ants name the branches like streets" yeah yeah but who's the BRANCH MANAGER

[@NarcJ]

Floral logic deserves his own chanel

[@danvo9701]

It reminds me of Myrmecophila and Caularthron orchids, they would make themselves home for ants too

[@ClintEPereira]

"Bullhorn acacia" is weirdly fun to say. Started singing it to the tune of "Californication" while watching this. Sorry if I missed some interesting facts 😅

[@ConstantChaos1]

One time a black locust tree spike went clean through my Achilles taden I still love thorny plants tho

[@zachadams3492]

I like how they snuck in cannabis when they mentioned trichomes

[@IdiotChosen11]

Picasso leaning! Omg I love her

[@victoriaeads6126]

Tasha, the ants probably have chemical/pheromone trails to and from their homes, so....yeah, probably the ant version of street names! 😂😂❤

[@sophia1176]

can you do osage orange, or honey locust?

[@emojisarepurecancer8097]

3:02 insert screaming noise here

[@andrew6089]

Mister spike the plant king is protecting mighty ants and their homes and themselves from herbivores omnivores and other predators

[@kimbratton9620]

Awesome thanks!!

[@fernandamancini3619]

Every episode I think its the best one. Until the next one comes out! 😂

[@marthaluciavillafanemunoz4234]

Many thanks Animaligic for this great video.

[@WaspandUnicorn]

This was superb, elegant and concise. I love it.

[@philly2548]

This plant is pretty much a drug dealer, getting ants hooked on dope lol

[@ILoveYou-uj3vs]

So basically, it's a Death Star full of Stormtroopers inside, in flora & fauna world. I wonder where is Darth Vader ?

[@jiffyb333]

Oh wow that's cool!!! It's like the food of fairies, eat it and you will no longer be able to eat human food and be trapped by the fairies forever.

[@crimsonfirelily]

Super interesting! Thank you Tasha & Floralogic 💜✌

[@riverfields3563]

I love this video. Maybe you should talk about Roses nest.

[@DAMN-E]

Damn this plant reminds me of earth and us oxygen equals survival.

[@kobaltocr6927]

Love it I have one in a plant pot and you can be move without being stung by the ants cuz if that happens oh my its hurtful

[@LuisRamirez-rn8yi]

Ok i like the cachito del diablo on youtube, but there's no friking way I'm getting near one of those trees again, ever

[@sergiom3097]

Talk about the fascinating story of the tree of Teneré Another acacia in Africa. Thank you I like your videos: fun, informative and the beauty of you. 😃😄😁😍🥰😘

[@areit99]

Man, right at the end I thought you were going to mention Bagheera kiplingi... Another time perhaps.

[@killerdude666]

What plant is your favorite Tasha

[@khenkhen4700]

I made a mistake of watching this when I was drinking. It was so fun but at the same time, I didn't understand what was going on but I was sure that I learned something but I can't remember. hahaha

[@user-ug8yi8ip4b]

Can we do a series about Night -blooming cereus?

[@spfein]

You're telling me those acacia ants out sting fire ants. Yes I consider a bee more painful and I've been swarmed by fire ants

[@oo-de-lally]

wicked cool! 🐜 🌳

[@thepeff]

Another great Tasha vid on the books!

[@Ashleyyy414]

I really need to never watch this again while a clay mask is drying on my face. Tasha is too damn funny. Girl got my mask crinkling every other minute. 😂 great episode. Love this stuff.

[@DrunkenDemon]

The plant seems cool, but as a iron maiden Fan, there were two opportunities for jokes. Good stuff xD . Also: Brutal.

[@alexmercer3001]

Can we have a video about Fairy Shrimps?. They are very interesting as they exist in the woods.

[@nunyabiznes33]

They bribe the ants with a white, crystalline substance... Sugar.

[@emilyhorton661]

Not sure how I ended up here but that was super interesting.

[@takenname8053]

SUPER NICE

[@Em4gdn1m]

I'd be interested in a video on salvia

[@andrew6089]

plants having spikes and poison to kill herbivores or omnivores and moderate carnivores is like porcupine and hedgehog use their spikes to worn off predators

[@FlymanMS]

I love Eartha Kitt vibes from the host.

[@varoalvaro-vr3mv]

PLZ make a video about lothip plants or living stone plz.

[@CeliaTyree]

Poor crab 😢

[@flytrapJester]

Yes

[@danstenis660]

Please talk about edible wild plants in North America.

[@mattobcamp3764]

That ending was priceless 🍃

[@jgrAnimations23]

"what if the world were to get slightly warmer?"

[@saint6563]

People "believe" an idol created planets one day & animals another. Nature proves that old book wrong everyday.

[@synaf1596]

What is the name of the enzyme it produces to stop them from being able to digest sucrose?

[@FreddyFazbear12]

If only I could do that 😂

[@victoriaeads6126]

There are orchids that are pollinated by mosquitoes!!!! Next episode!!!!

[@jamescrossland2599]

The plant is: 'Da Pimp'......n 'da Ants' are it's 'Hi-Ho's'???

[@juliav.mcclelland2415]

How do the ants know they can't eat anything else?

[@vincentcleaver1925]

Truly diabetic, I mean diabolical!

Amazing I like the way how she delivers 👍

[@melodyparra2960]

Please talk about the shampoo ginger

[@h2amster328]

I LOVE YOUR SHIRT!

[@osmia]

"Oddly poetic"

[@footfault1941]

Honestly, being an animal guy, but at the same time enjoy much with footages presented here. This time what makes more interesting is the subject of symbiosis or ecological mutualism. A very long evolutionary history should be behind it. Ant army is a nasty thing. Somewhere else red crabs during reproductive migration through forest fall into victim of invasive ant species.

[@jjhggdcqz]

Can you make a video about cacao?

[@justicierodelaliga]

Sawgrass please.
