here's the intro

my mom is in fact aware that dandelions exist. she temporarily forgot the name and there was some miscommunication.

the truth is actually weirder

she’s aware dandelions look like this

she is familiar with this flower. she knows the name of this flower. she declines to believe, however, that these are also dandelions

she does not believe these are the same plant. I tried to explain, and she thought I was either misinformed or lying. so I asked her what exactly did she think the yellow ones were called?

gosh I enjoy this website

if you’ve never heard of it, it’s like a pokedex for real life. each of those green markers is someone’s observation. You don’t even need to take pictures of “cool” organisms, you can take a picture of that spider in your bathroom, that little brown moth on your front door, that bird on your neighbor’s fence, and the flowers no one can agree on the name of, and if you upload them to iNaturalist other people can help identify them for you. You can also obscure the precise location of your observation so you don’t doxx yourself.
