Had to look this one up to understand it. Never heard of St. John's wort before.

Had to look this one up to understand it.

Given the spread of expertise in this community, I think that's probably the experience of all of us at least every other post

Seriously, it's like being back in college but the botany geeks are pulling out some good jokes.

Personally, I wouldn't say I have much expertise in anything. I just like science and watch a lot about it.

Grumpy conservative dislikes Social Justice Workers/Warriors but chipper botanist makes a pun, saying Hypericum (perforatum) a.k.a. St. John's Wort is a good genus. Note: the leaves have tiny holes/ perforations, hence the species.
