"Now as Miss Griengoth had mentioned, the tingle weed does not grow outside of its native habitat. No witch or wizard has yet been able to accomplish this feat..." not even her, "... but in the wild sea's of the Mediterranean tingle weed is able to grow in abundance without any human intervention. So it is possible to conclude from this, that the soil, water and climatic conditions of the Mediterannean are all it needs in order to grow." Aside from that there wasn't much else that could be said about how to care for the plant... it just wasn't done.

Looking down the at the remaining tanks in the row Seren realised they should get the class moving on again. Three tanks to go... not to mention the activity. She glanced at her watch... Oh they had plenty of time.

Uncovering the next tank in line Seren stared at the beautiful plant before her. A large pan like leaf floating on the top of the water in the tank, sprouting a large light pink lily. Perhaps she thought too highly of it, but it was one of her favourites.
"This here is known as Victoria Amazonica", she said somewhat affectionately.
"I had spent quite some time studying them when I was on a field trip in the Amazon- where they thrive in it's shallow basins and only grows in fresh water." Just a bit of general information. Though she shouldn't let herself get too carried away with the introductions... it was a lesson after all.

"So what are the uses of Victoria Amazonica and what side effects could we expect to see with regular use of this plant?" she asked the class.

OOC: Same as before... I'll be back online in approximately 7-8 hours. Don't edit your answers, behave, don't chat, have fun, and please try to keep your answers down to a maximum of two facts... one would be best. Professor Bentley is watching you. Happy RPing!
