Blushing, and averting her eyes from Professor Bentley for a moment, Kurumi returned to her notes, looking up only when she heard Emrys snort and found herself giggling in response. What had she been doing? Oh yes, note taking.

At least she had been right on the abiotic pollination aspect and on the right track with the unique parts to the male and female bushes.

Kurumi couldn't help but wish that this plant had been brought to their attention last term with the joint lesson with Astronomy. It would have been a fantastic example of how plants and the moon interacted and relied on each other. What it really came down to, really, was that Kurumi was very VERY skeptical about the whole lunar planting process. It was just guesswork without any real results as far as she was concerned. But, that was Kurumi's judgemental logic taking over for the time being.

Jotting down some final notes and considering packing up her things, Kurumi noticed that one of the capsules -several really - had burst open and it was like a miniature galaxy were dancing in the air right before her violet eyes. Quill and parchment in one hand and her cup of tea in the other, Kurumi crept a little closer to watch the process. It really was like watching galaxies dance in the moonlight...and the pollen!stars began to blend together, which made her think of the Milky Way.

The process was slow...slow enough that she figured she could try and sketch the process. So, quill to parchment, Kurumi began to sketch. She watched as what could only be hundreds of pollen!stars attached themselves to some of the crescents and Kurumi cocked her head to the side, pausing from her diagram sketching for a moment. "Professor Bentley, do Norandolas ever run the risk of over pollination? Like...if one crescent attracts more pollen than another?"
