getting high with tighnari...
he's a lot more chill than you might think. still talks about plants (a lot) but starts going into shit like their 'evolutionary mechanisms':
"...like, don't you think it's fascinating that flowers have faces? if you look at them? like...really look at them?"
you look at the flowerhead that he twirls slow between his fingers while conjuring images of other blossoms in your mind. "whoa."
"i know right? some orchids have even evolved to look like what their pollinators find attractive. the dendrophylax lindenii, for example, can only be pollinated by the sphinx moth, which is part of the reason why it's an endangered species...that, and poaching. that's why i do what i do. only a relative few will ever see a live ghost orchid and i want to be part of the reason more people do. because they're beautiful and mysterious. like you."
