Well, if it isn't, I certainly won't be able to help this time, agriculture and botany are not things in which I am well-versed.

Just take your time removing them, don't get in a hurry or you may pull up traces from the board. Other than that, it's no big deal.

I've done this a few times and I just pry up a corner a little at a time while heating the nearest pin
