"Australia is a lucky country run mainly by second rate people who share its luck." - coined by social critic and journalist Donald Horne in his 1964 book The Lucky Country.
On the subject of flowers, the late Donald was a friend of a family friend who came over one night and after drinking a huge amount of wine decided in a midnight fit of inspiration (when we'd all gone to bed) to rearrange flowers throughout the house. We woke up in the morning to find little bits of flowers everywhere except the vases! Sadly, she passed away recently but it became a running joke in the family. Good sorts.
Nonsense is an nor-Englishman declaring correctness on an Australian thread, moreover one involving both botany (the English famously felling theirs), and wine! Stick to your corner and install some air conditioning, mate. The Italians would understand, for they are also a wine-drinking people.
“On the subject of flowers” seems a nonsensical opening to a thread not on the subject of flowers. But everything else has confirmed the generally second rate theme of Australians even though yours is a third rate usage of the English language.
I'm disinclined to agree that identifying you as an Englishman is a personal attack. While your nationality is certainly a shame, it doesn't automatically make you an uninformed zealot with a penchant for airs of authority.

Why use ai to write nonsensical comments like this.
Hahaha, thanks that gave me a laugh. I assure you my nonsense is natural.
It confuses he and she, and makes zero reference to the comment it’s referring to, and is generic nonsense.

Using personal attacks are against the rules.
