    I could listen to you for a very long time. Even though you're from Chicago or thereabouts, you sound like someone from home, which is near New York City. I love it that you have this abiding respect for plants and have learned things on your own. This shit matters. You are right, life on Earth would be very different if plants evolved in a different way. I like finding out how things work and why, and plants don't actively lie like some people do. I just like learning stuff and especially when I respect that what I'm hearing is the truth as far as you know it. What a world. I hope we don't blow it up. We already do enough to our environment by shitting where we live. We need to use our brains, but we've been "educated" not to. Thank You. I'm off to fuck myself.

    13:17 A hoya was my first houseplant. Got it around 2017, it stayed the winter-half-year by a north-facing window in the small apartment I shared with another student, then moved in with me where I live now where it has spent the last 2 1/2 years perched upon a random shelf. Still lives. Cut off parts of it several times in attempts to propagate it. Never repotted. Never flowered. I think it's holding on by spite alone.

    By the way the name (Geodorum) means gift of (or for) the earth; probably refering to the flowering habit.
