psot number five :)
One more plant to go. Juliette cracked her fingers (her hand was starting to get a little tired from all the writing) and searched on. She came across simple cooking plants, like the ones she had put down before, but those didn't interest her, and so she passed them. She wanted to find something interesting for her last plant, and she was going to do so no matter what. She looked down at her textbook and saw a yellow weed photographed on the page. It was a dandelion.
Juliette thought it must have been some sort of mistake, since weeds (what dandelions where to her knowledge) where useless, and herbs had many uses. How could something be both useless and useful? That was like being both tall and short, things just didn't work that way. Neverless, she found one and found herself staring at the herb-weed thing. This isn't a herb. Herbs can be used in cooking and cleaning, I never heard of anyone using a dandelion to clean their house. Her thoughts voiced in her brain. And nobody cooks with dandelions either. Do they? That'd make some weird stew. However, there it was in her textbook. She sighed and started to read the text that accompanied the picture. She frowned as she read, but the book was right, and so she just went along with it. plant: dandelion
apperance: either yellow petals on a green stem, or white little seeds that look like budding petals (also on a green stem)
usable parts: every part of the dandelion is useful in some way
uses: cooking, for digestive and heart problems.
Juliette still didn't believe it, even as she was writing it down, but apparently the dandelion was useful to nature. Guess you learn something new every day, she thought.
