She peered over a little closer. "Are those Bubotuber plants, Professor?"

His head tilted to one side. "Yes AND no," he answered, stroking his beard thoughtfully. "The smell itself isn't the defense mechanism.. see, there's more to this plant than just the outside." Did that even make sense? Ah, they'd soon find out.

The professor pulled on his own pair of rather worn out gloves and gave one of the many squirming plants a pet. Like petting sluggy black slimey plants was the most natural thing in the world.

"It's not," Sage shook his head in Daisy's direction, "but well done for having a guess!" A guess was better than not trying at all in his opinion!

Cameron knew exactly what THEY were.

"They're bubotuber's." STUPID EVIL SLIMY PLANTS.

What were they? Umm. "Aren't they Bubotuber plants, Professor?" She said enquiringly. They looked exactly as the book had discribed them, but she had never seen them before.

Now the excessive mentioning of the gloves made sense.
"To all of you that identified these as Bubotubers, you're correct!" The professor exclaimed, still petting the plant which only seemed to squirm more with the contact. Bubotubers were kind of cute in their own little freaky way..

Maybe he could touch it later. It looked almost ... alive.

Wicked.

Humming down a tune to himself, he slipped on his fantabulous gloves before quickly raising his arm to answer the question. "No, Sir!" No, he didn't know what the plant was. BUT his Mummy told him to never leave a question unanswered. "But I can tell you what it isn't! A ... ROSE!" Hehe.
He blinked though, at the next answer.

"Uhmm.. Well, you're right there it certainly isn't a rose!" Strange child. At least he'd answered something...? Hmmm.

"But back to the Bubotubers, do you now understand why I asked you all to put on your gloves? Anyone know anything about bubotubers? Notice the shiny protrusions on them?" Like giant spots waiting to be squeezed.. some people got sick satisfaction out of pimple popping. "Have a feel of them, they like to be petted."
