[ID: The "Is this a pigeon?" meme of an anime character pointing at a butterfly. The character is now labeled, "me", and pointing at the species "Gelsemium rankinii", asking, "Is this Long Covid?". End ID.]

Today I learned there's another almost identical species of native jasmine that grows here but one of the most notable differences is that the flowers don't smell....

so. all the ones I was damning covid19 over not being able to smell may just in fact be the new-to-me species...
