Double, Double, Toil and Trouble...

AKA, Potions Homework!

Part 1:
Go around your house, outdoors, for a hike, or wherever and take pictures of 5 different plants, herbs, or flowers that might be used in potions. Make sure to remember your originality marker for these. Also, include the names of these (if you don't know their name feel free to make one up) and the description of potential use(s) for each.


Here we have mint leaves... great for making the potent potion called a Mojito!

Ahh... a row of lavender. Great for relaxing potions/lotions.

I know this looks like a daisy, but it's actually chamomile. Great for putting restless mind to sleep!

Lemongrass, great for adding a bright note to a marinade.

Here we have a dandelion. I know, you're thinking, "it's just a weed!" However, did you know that it also makes a very fun and yummy wine?!
