The tag and walk away part got me because a buddy of mine did almost the same thing at a plant swap. Some lady kept calling his pitcher plant a "fly trap" no matter how many times he said Sarracenia, so he finally just said "yep, you got it" and let her buy it. Sometimes the plant talks better than we do, and that's fine.

Wow, so sleep loss is the secret ingredient?

So you're basically a clock repairman AND a gardener now, nice career pivot lol.
