This makes the identification of some plants a little harder, but you will get used to it."

He looked at all that had been planted thus far and nodded. "You all seem to be doing very well. Each of you with a completed planter will be receiving five points. Before I carry on, are there any further questions about any of this?"[/COLOR]

Nicholai nodded; it made sense and he made a mental note to find out more about monocot and dicot plants aside from what he already knew from reading the textbook.

He continued working on his and Anna's planter, double checking everything while trying his best not to get too dirty. Once he was satisfied that it was how the Professor had specified, he stepped back and immediately got to cleaning his hands as best as possible.

If it wasn't for his interest in potions; Nicholai would have no trouble at all dropping this class. But then he did appreciate the research aspect of Herbology. His eyes travelled to Professor ~~Erikson~~ Carracio and he waited for further instruction.
