Yes! Omg...people ask me what they think is a simple question about said hobby completely unaware of the absolute storm that is about to be unleashed upon them. For example, someone asks me a simple how do you keep this plant alive....well you now are going to learn where it is native too, what the climate is like, it's life cycle and blooming characteristics, its evolution and taxonomy, pollinators and oh don't forget about the diseases and pests it gets and oh! Let's talk about soil chemistry....and mushrooms! Fungus are fascinating and network with plants...anyways, you get the idea. And suddenly they are trying to exit the conversation, and im like wait nooo, i have more. ๐
my friend has seen me do this to so many people and she just sits there with an amused look when she knows it's about to happen. So glad someone gets entertainment out of it.
Those are my subjects of interest too! I'd be happy to listen to that
