| | |  "National Geographic" knows its Herbology
This month’s edition of 'National Geographic' included an article on plants of the Wizarding World in its Science section. Did you know that some of the plants at Hogwarts have been largely influenced by plants we find on Earth? A few examples are Mandrake, Wormwood and Aconite!
You can see the entire page here in our gallery.

It's very interesting and cool how these are linked! Mandrakes are even mentioned in 'Romeo and Juliet'.
