Mostly I like to see the blank look on faces when a neighbor says, "Oh, what is that pretty flower?" and I hit them with the botanical name - saying it as rapidly as possible. Rolling on the floor laughing
I wait a beat or two and then lighten up to give them not only the common name, but will tell them if the plant is edible or medicinal.
Almost every time they will go home with at least one plant that they had admired.
