Could you make a video on Ailanthus altissima, this plant has seemingly conquered every city in the world, yet can be useful to make silk, wood via its rapid growth and even, medicine, to combat erosion, etc. Fascinating plant.

Here in Brazil we call it Vitória Régia, and our indigenous people have a legend for its origin!

It was known that the moon god (Jaci) had love encounters with the prettiest indigenous girls; after these dates, the chosen girls were transformed into stars.

Naiá was a girl who fell in love for Jaci; one day she saw the moon's reflection on a river and got drown trying to kiss it.

Jaci got touched after seeing this and as a merciful act, transformed Naiá's body into Victoria Amazonica, a river star :)

Yesterday, I heard about Victoria amazonica for the first time from my professor. He told us that most literature says that they can "only" carry weights up to 40 kg but he could stand on them without a problem. So some of them can easily carry weights of up to 100 kg.

Ah to be a ten year old chillin on a giant lily pad, truly the dream

I love when a new floralogic video comes out! There are always so many new things to learn. You should do a video on the relationship between pine and oak trees in their common environment. 😊

Love you Tasha! I'm not really a plant person but your funny and energetic deep dives into weird vegetation always makes my day.

Gotta love unnecessarily large plants. My favorite flower is the Hardy hibiscus or swamp mallow, which has gigantic flowers for absolutely no reason.

[robmaxwell]

I've fantasized about seeing this plant in person since I was a little kid and saw it in one of my mom's gardening books. Thanks for covering it here.

[agerven]

One of my favorite plants! i first saw one in reality when visiting Kew Gardens in London, but i learned much through this episode that was previously unknown to me. Thank you Tasha!

[Auryce]

The evolution of fully aquatic plants might be an interesting topic to cover, specifically aquatic saltwater plants like seaweed

[TimAllen]

You all do an amazing job of answering all the questions we had as kids that our parents didn't know.

[PMLucian]

i had just discovered this channel and have been binge watching every floralogic video

thank you for loving plants

[kmcsciguy]

The flowers heat up?! I’ve never heard of a plant doing that, that’s wild!

[DeoxTew]

3:57 thanks, now that song is stuck in my head. It's one of those old-ish songs I always loved.

this was so cool. i learned something new today. i love everything about this planet from the millions of species to the beautiful animals

They forgot to mention it's bouncy properties. Basically a trampoline, great for getting to high platforms.

[cookiecruise]

Wow! I didn't know plants could produce heat! I would love to learn more about this behaviour 🌿

[MatawanBullShark]

Can you guys do Sea Grass next? I have always been fascinated how it its the only fully marine flowering plant.

Well now I know my go to plant for when I create a floating lake palace.
