yeah just a bit higher will see some
more ramen test yeah and we're gonna
turn left and we'll get some Kimmie full
year so nice of the CA and already at
that other river sanzu as you say it's
quite similar to capensis oh yeah this
is it's quite sticky yeah actually had a
capensis on my Instagram page I touched
it and I was putting it down it the only
reason why it stopped sticking to me is
because it's hit like my container and I
had to pull it off using container
it was so sticky it was insane yeah
weird people aren't like cultivating the
sticky applause and it's just the size
of that settings yeah but those seeds
from my collection because have like I
need to keep these super sticky ones so
we're about where we headed now up this
Ridge yeah I'll let you guys know when
me can we get up there okay guys so we
found some Alyssia right here some
puppies I'm Lucy like almost 90 degrees
on the side of this cliff yeah I have
one dead tree holding my weight
nice little colonies water seeping down
the stock all the most kind of stuff so
super pure clean water for them and
they're all along the sides I want to
record too much gel because this is
precarious but consider Monson there so
when we're out of the situation that you
guys know so we just move you find what
is this guy's Okaloosa flowering so near
the beginning it'll make it quite a nice
little cylindrical display so we were
headed up there to the mosh marshland us
yeah yeah Marston up there and there's a
path weird it's kind of sweet almost
reminds me of like fresh baby doctors
that's my back was a bit yeah reminds me
that I don't know what I was a baby
powder even I don't know is the first
we've seen and I think it might be the
loss is not you mean flower come over
let's cross our well you gotta see one
so we made it to the wetland and we
found Sarah Khouri folia check how big
my hands are pretty average to us but
Wow these flower stalks are just massive
so sour
let's see the flowers where there oh
look at this so this is drier hey yo
this is as he says the dry season and
we're like on the outskirts it is some
yeah super dry ones though might be
different
I want these broad a yeah maybe just
babies those they look different but
again environmental factors you don't
know that
look at that leaf it from where the base
which shoots I look so thick there so
I'm going add marabous but yeah so we're
headed towards the the weapon now
alright so yeah we finally made it up
over the ridge nice much flatter what
are you oh wow wow
[Music]
[Music]
these are beautiful you should so this
is this is now super marshy as I'm
standing you can see the water running
that's just not clean for you yeah Wow
geez this is so skinny compared to most
oh yeah picking inspirational but I
won't
[Music]
yes the Sun but could these be admirable
as yet there's more perfect okay how's
it some of them so as you can see it's
super its moist this is like what we're
used to going but less sandy just like
Pete and master gives you kind of an
idea of what they need to grow
that's a dispersed I don't know what
species of it it is the West now what's
top
this orchid definitely never seen it
you've never seen it before you never
well this is anyway call without exactly
what species he is there yeah it's very
cool so we've been following this little
party that's just about here and you
came fast more or less yay but their
leaves are much thinner right yeah it's
shrunken right now cuz the flowering
that the leaves are still about the same
shape even violets and all the leaves or
so Nathan just to cool their end
some of you yeah tiny so all these tiny
little spots we are now following this
trail all the way down there and we're
gonna go to the river
get some water put up our water bottles
and we're gonna see two more variants of
a listeria and I just yeah and what are
the one capensis so this atlas CA they
super super big so you saw how Allison
leaved Els here was but he's in this
year's about this big so it's gonna be
super super interesting
