Chert Glades & the Species That Love Them
🕑 Added 2024-07-24 04:32:32 +0000 UTCOn a chert Glade in Joplin Missouri we check out an rare species of blazing star, Liatris hirsuta, along with an extremely cold tolerant prickly pear and a very cool succulent species (Phemeranthus calycinus) in the Bitterroot family, Montiaceae.
We also talk about how Chert forms, why it might be occurring here on Carboniferous-age (340 million year old) limestone and how it affects the plant life.

Aim for the power driver, not the LED's themselves... In Minecraft.

Back when I was in my late teens, 1977-ish, would commit acts we called "sissy terrorism," which included spray paint, and sometimes throwing slices of Aldi bread at people. Sissy is the operative word.

Hey, Myriopteris lanosa! I helped preserve some of the only wild populations in New Jersey at my old job. They're restricted to a bunch of super iron-rich shale outcrops along the delaware river near Milford. You have to scoot down to the edge of a cliff to find em co-habitating with the same Opuntia spp there as well :)

Gotta love a good Liatris! I've planted 3 species in the garden up here in Minneapolis!

Shooting out LED billboards is terrorism? What?

It's selective vandalism to you....but it was sissy terrorism to us, back in the day. Missouri Primrose is one of my fave Missouri plants.
