And I'd add, not going into it with any expectations of it going any further than friendly flirting.Just because someone is engaging in banter/flirting, doesn't mean they're looking for anything more.
Oh wow, that's cool! I have butterworts and they're super finicky, too. I've propagated them and it always feels like a gamble which ones will survive, but so far I've found the best growing medium to be the sphagnum moss, like you mentioned.
While every ounce of my being agrees with you, I have a feeling that some people only respond to these kind of tactics.
Could you replace them with the swear words you don't mind saying? Or am I not understanding what you're looking for?e.g. "For Christ sake" can be replaced with, "for fuck sake".
Not pictured: being overwhelmed at the thought of properly dealing with all the frogs when you find a different obsession, then just stuffing them in a box and hiding it.
