Default Post 1 - Collecting herbs.
Dan's 431st grlfrnd Oodles of doodles

Blair settled on creating a blend that reflected upon her father's best characteristics. Now the difficult part : deciding which herbs would best represent them whilst also complimenting each other's flavours. She made a quick list of what she would require.

SPOILER!!: Blair's Parchment

Bay: Protection, healing, purification and strength.
Borage: Restores courage.
Ginger: Properties of success and power.
Sage: Protection, longevity, wisdom, wishes.
Horsetail : Can be mood altering and has been known to increase alertness and concentration.
Hibiscus : Soothes and stimulates.


Blair set her quill down, it was time to start collecting some herbs. She picked up her basket and list and went to work. Bay first, she wandered round the greenhouse in search of it. Ah ha, she gave the leaf a quick smell before picking a couple of and placing them in her basket.

Blair consulted her list once again, borage next. Spotting the blue star shaped flowers that marked the borage plant she collected a few of these too. The leaves felt a bit fuzzy, she didn't like the texture of them much.

What next? Ginger.
