A number of the students seemed to be lost for words, this didn't surprise her. The glowing branches and low flames were a captivating sight.
...
"No... it's definitely not Dittany... Dittany is a a herb, and despite its reputation as the burning bush, it does not actually burn.." unless you set it on fire, which she wouldn't recommend.
"It's the herbs colour and flammable vapours which earn it that title."
And finally at long last... a few students managed to identify the specimen correctly.
"Well done to those of you who correctly identified this specimen as a Fire Seed Bush... as you can see the bush bears no leaves, rather it has the appearance of a leafless old tree.. small tree that is." Because really it only reached up to her waist, and that wasn't exactly tall.
"The bush is characterised by its bright glow which comes from within the plant. The low embers at its base are also a key indicator as to its identity."
Seren paused briefly to let the students absorb this information and observe the plant a little longer.
"If you look close enough you can see that the fire seeds grow along the branches." ... slightly camouflaged by the branches glow.
"Though the plant is not considered dangerous, you should exercise great caution when working with them so that you do not burn yourself." "Can anybody hazard a guess as to what the uses are for the Fire Seeds?" OOC: Feel free to be CREATIVE and have FUN with this. Please do NOT edit your answers, participation is participation and you don't always need to be right. The lesson will resume in approximately 18-20 hours. Thanks! XD It's not Dittany? Oh well. The use of Fire Seeds? Uhh, to plant
more Fire Seed Bush? Janice shrugged off the thought as she raised her hand to answer.
"Are they used to keep fire burning in the fireplace or something?"
