Namibian Border Crawl & Lotto Ticket Exposé

Join us as we explore just what the hell is going on - botanically speaking - at the #Namibian Border. Meet a member of the Sesame Seed Family that smells like raw hell and reaches heights of 6' tall while growing in one of the driest deserts on Earth. Check out what a canyon full of Billion-year-old granite looks and sounds like. See a member of the Poinsettia Family that looks like a cactus but is not even slightly related to one. Check out #Kissenia capensis - a member of the blazing star family, #Loasaceae that arrived to South Africa millions of years ago and decided to stay! All this and more on the worlds most low-brow botany education channel, Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't.

#Euphorbia virosa

#Rogeria longiflora

#Aptosimum

#Moraea filicaulis

Your contributions support this content. It sounds clichéd, but it's true. Whether it's travel expenses, vehicle repair, or medical costs for urushiol poisoning (or rockfalls, beestings, 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 rest of us in the degenerate public. 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.
