Talking with fellow gardeners today, I noticed (again) how commonly we have plants in our pockets. It's what I call "Botanist-ID", like the hints in identifying a plant but rather it's the traits of a plant-person.
Key features include:
Tendency to talk to plants, having a large collection of indoor plants, and gardening books.
Also look for:
In their pockets, particularly of jackets or hoodies or even purses- you will likely find parts of plants like seed pods, loose seeds, bits of moss, sticks, or dried leaves. Pockets of plants is a key identifier of the local plant-person.
If you put your hand in your own jacket pocket, and get dirt under your nails, you know you're a botanist.
