Right... so they had covered Gillyweed before. Great, it meant they could move onto something more interesting!
"Brilliant, so it sounds as though the majority of you have studied gillywater before", she smiled out at the sea of faces. But there was some information they had neglected to bring up.
"In terms of caring for and harvesting gillyweed it is important to note that whilst they are native to the mediterranean it is possible, now, to grow them across the globe. The key to doing this is to ensure the water they are grown in, is at a stable temperature ranging between twenty to twenty-nine degrees celcius. They may also be grown in salt and fresh water."
Seren paused here to catch her breath and let the students absorb the information.

"Now we wont be spending any more time looking at gillyweed just yet, so we'll be moving onto our next specimen"... Seren walked a few paces to the next tank. With a swift motion she uncovered the next tank. It was tall and slim... and it appeared to be .. empty. The eerie bluish-green light that was emanating from the tank came from the little lights at the bottom of it. Seren smiled proudly.
"Now who can tell me what we are looking at right now?"
