@greengoyle this seems like your kind of thing

today I found out my mother doesn’t know what dandelions are and now I’m wondering what other strange secrets she’s been quietly harboring

Where do you live that you don’t have dandelions?

we have dandelions EVERYWHERE, they are basically our State Weed, it is absolutely impossible that my mom has never interacted with a dandelion before, this requires further investigation

See, folks in the southern US will tell you up and down those are buttercups, actually.

Wait I thought those bigger cup ones were Easter Lillies???

They’re marigolds and I know a bitch when I see one!

….we need to start taking the phrase “go touch grass” more literally. go outside and examine a flower i beg u

Tree grafters really said "what if we used joinery techniques on living wood" and then they did

HUGE fan of trees growing in places they should not reasonably be able to

i like trees

Did you know that oxalis, the purple and black clover there, will fold like butterfly wings if it's too bright, to prevent sunscald?

Yep! They do close at night and open during the day, but they also do that in excessive sunlight!

Blooming aloe is sooooo cool! (It's not hot enough to happen here, but maybe in a greenhouse... (One day))

Is there anything I ought to know about it?

The plant won't die after it blooms, so you're good there, but you'll still want to trim the flower once it wilts and before it goes to seed anyway, so the plant doesn't waste energy on trying to reproduce. Trim where the flower stock joins the plant when it's time.
