Sometimes your hyperfixations mean you spend fifteen solid minutes trying to STOP arguing with some dumb bitch who says they have blue peonies in their yard (of course they don’t have any pictures bc it’s winter) and when you tell them they’d best rope in their local extension office bc if they’re right, they’re about to become a millionaire (because there’s not currently an ACTUAL BLUE peony) and they just send a rolling eye gif and now you’re debating setting a timer for June bc 1) they’re wrong OR 2) THEY HAVE AN ACTUAL BLUE PEONY *vibrating*
I then spent fifteen more minutes explaining my plight to my husband, which then sent us down a tangent about other rare plants I’ve found, how the arboretum has a rare plant technician position open (though it’s less than half of what I make right now 😭) and western jacobs ladder, and him offering to take me out traipsing by the floating bog where he used to catch blind trout, and this is why I love this man so much.
Like, a few years back I bought my first pitcher plant. While telling him about the difference between nepenthes pitchers and North American pitchers.
HIM: oh I know a place!
THAT BOG WAS BOUNCY!

I'm reading about how Israel, in the immediate aftermath of the 1948 Nakba, deliberately replaced olive trees and other indigenous flora with European plants. This ecological disaster, which is now proudly hailed under the banner of 'making the desert bloom,' was done to 'de-Arabize' the landscape, and to cover up - often with fast-growing European pine trees -the ruins of Palestinian villages that were destroyed by Zionists forces.
And I just need everyone to read this passage from Pappé, because the symbolism of what happened to those European pine trees in the desert speaks for itself:
The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, by Ilan Pappé (2006, p. 227-228.)

What's everyone's favourite flowers that aren't like. The normal ones. Like everyone's a fan of roses and sunflowers what's a more niche one. One you don't get in gift sets. Mine's sweet peas
