~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Jude was pleased that he was on track when it came to the plant he had zoned in on. Indeed it was quite recognisable by the shape of the flowers like Devries had said. He cast a glance and a smile at Lisa; it was great to see her on track as well. Before long, the plants were named and that meant there were notes to be made. Jude wrote in his neat, cursive handwriting the regular names and scientific ones.
Okay, so which of these plants did he want to volunteer information about? Jude scanned the board once more, honing in on the Stinging Nettles. A hand was raised. “Stinging Nettles has tiny ‘hairs’ on its stems and leaves. If one comes in contact with those hairs, it gives the sensation of being stung… or bitten, I guess. Anyway, despite that, the leaves are still used and ingested by humans.” |
