Do you know the exact names of the fives that make up your clothes? No? Ah, okay, interesting. How about the all of the ingredients that go into your favourite meal? Nope? Right, I see. You know the names of all the muscles that you use on the daily though, don’t you? In case you pull one or rupture something and it needs care? You don’t? But you continue to use those muscles and tendons anyway? Okay, fine. Do you know the Latin names for all the plants? Because we don’t use common names at risk of them being confus- you don’t?
But they bring you joy?
Hmmm.
Maybe you should stop gatekeeping the joy and wellness that plants bring. I’m qualified with the Royal Horticultural Society and don’t know all of my plants names. But they make me happy, so if I call one of them “Kevin” then so be it 🥳 You won’t find any sympathy for that point of view on this page, my dude, because we were taught to share from a very young age 🤷♀️
