Oddly the two distinctly different petals share a very small but distinct red line along the outer edge. Once one looks past the initial contrast of the brilliantly contrasting petals, thick black veins can be seen running up the plants stem.
It was truly a beautiful plant. Professor Erikson's was more fascinating, but it was really a rather bewitching specimen. She remained silent as she examined the plant.

What in holy hades was she talking about?? Cassandra merely pretended to be too taken up with the plant to hear their converation... but she listened very carefully to every word that was spoken.
When they had ceased their discussion, Cassandra looked over at Apedemak. "I would like to thank you, friend, for trusting me enough to share your plant with me. It is really a beautiful blend of colors and shades. Mine is simpler..." she stated. She didn't look to Xana but her eyes fell on Dia... Seemed the girl had changed a little... Cassandra seemed to approve of the change. She turned and looked at Apedemak, "Thank you again for your trust, and if you have no further need of me, I assume you would rather discuss your
curse more privately." She nodded to the Sudanese boy, waiting to be dismissed.
