Bristlecone Pines & Sedona Herbal Enemas (Patreon)

Bristlecone Pines & Sedona Herbal Enemas

We combine two different episodes in one here. The first one takes us to the higher elevations of southwestern Utah in Iron County to check out Cedar Breaks National monument and the bristlecone pines. We see Physaria hitchcockii growing matted as hell on the edge of a steep cliff at 10,000' elevation. Then we expound on how Phlox condensata smells like a jasmine coconut milkshake while getting an up close view of the bark of an ancient bristlecone pine. The last seven minutes take us to Yavapai County, Arizona where we discuss new age colon cleanses and stem-photosynthesis in Canotia holacantha (Celastraceae). In between, we catch Fritillaria atropurpurea and Aquilegia coerulea blooming next to a lava flow in Southern Utah. Your contributions support this content. It sounds cliché but it's true. Whether it's travel expenses, vehicle repair, or medical costs for urushiol poisoning (or rockfalls, bee-stings, 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 public, accompanied by a small dose of profanity and crude humor. 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. Plants make people feel good. Plants quell homicidal (and suicidal!) thoughts.
