It was in a decorative looking pot - not too outrageous, but something a little fancier than a terra cotta pot. The leaves were of different shades of green, and large, with beautifully varied flowers. One or two of the bulbs opened to show a large mouth snapping at a nearby fly.

"The roots here," he said, pointing to the bottom of the pot where some fluffy-looking greenery was growing, "are calming herbs. I've researched a few ways to make a fresh tea from them, right from the picking, so that if anyone is feeling particularly stressed they can harvest some of the small leaves, steep in hot water for five minutes and have a calming beverage." He'd tried it himself at home, and it had worked. "And my wife helped me with a fertilising powder they mix with water. It gets into the flower roots and lets off a scent that's mostly individual to whoever smells it. The aim is for something calming, but some people might just detect a pleasant aroma." He wasn't sure just yet, having only tested it on his family. The aroma he detected left him feeling alert and energised, yet calm.

"I've got some seedlings growing in the Greenhouses, but this one," he pointed to the picture, "is safe in my home greenhouse." He would bring it in to show Olly once it had matured. He hoped it would only be another few days, when the flowers opened.

The thing was, her and Archer weren't particularly close or anything but they did work incredibly well together. They appeared to be on the same wavelength with regard to work and....right now, regarding their respective time management. "Archer, I was just about to look for you." She smiled at him, turning around and leaning against her desk to face him when he entered.

He had very good timing, indeed.

She listened and watched as Archer elaborated on his drawing. It really did look absolutely perfect what they had in mind. "Wow. And they're low maintenance too, yeah?" Olly held out her hand so she could take a closer look at the animated drawing he'd brought with him. "How much longer do you think until it's ready?" So she could check it out herself before they went any further on growing more of them.

Although, she did of course trust Archer's judgement. But with the previous incidents, she didn't want to take any chances.
