Jordan stood at the entrance of the smaller, isolated greenhouse. He carefully adjusted his protective gloves, their thick dragon-hide material ensuring no thorn, spike, or tendril could pierce through. Once he verified that the gloves were secure, he pushed open the heavy door and stepped inside, the door creaked shut behind him.
Brown eyes quickly surveyed the array of botanical denizens before him. To his left, the Venomous Tentacula writhed lazily, its barbed tendrils sensing his presence but held at bay by a containment charm. On his right, a cluster of Snargaluff pods lay dormant, their thorny husks tightly closed. Further along he spotted the hybrid he had cultivated for university just a few years ago, which he had dubbed as a Snapping Bloomcabbage. A smile appeared on his face as he reminisced the months it had taken him to perfect the crossbreed.
Today, however, the botanist's main focus was elsewhere, a more recent one of his projects that he was developing for the Oceanoizardry division. Tucked away in a corner was a sizable tank filled with salt water. Jordan leaned over slightly to properly gaze at the slimy green plant that had sprouted a large red flower.
Satisfied with its progress, he straightened up and then submerged his hand into the tank, his motions deliberate and calming. "Easy now," he whispered, his voice barely above a murmur, as he moved slowly to collect a clipping of one of the leaves, hopefully without provoking the flower.
