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.
