^u^ alright. 0u0 *searches for a good one real quick* Ah, waterdew cactus. this ones nice. this cactus stores most of its water in its needles, so as to keep it safe from creatures that sometimes use other varieties of cactus as a source of water by eating the main plant. the juice of the waterdew cactus's main body is a potent hallucinogenic fluid. 0~0 0u0 but it can be processed to become a critical medication for certain illness. 0u0

^u^ yep... 0-0 ! uh, normally, bad, strange imaginary things. please avoid drinking cactus juice. *turns to find a less medicinally inclined plant* Ah, here we are. copper Pumpkins! these rare plants grow in places with high metal content. their roots pull up unusually high amounts of copper along with other nutrients. the fruit was useful to the natives of the planet its from for being melted down for the copper, but if you can manage to cut one open, then the incomplete seeds can be roasted, and supposedly make a rather healthy snack. all fully formed seeds were usually planted. ^u^

0u0 alright. ^u^ evergreens. these trees have thin, needle-like leaves, and they keep their leaves all through the year. 0u0 other trees usually loose their leaves when it gets to be fall, but not evergreens. they look really nice with snow covering them. ^u^ *a picture of both a normal, and a snow covered evergreen can be seen in the book*

0u0 each flake forms in its own pattern. each one is a little piece of art. ^u^ 0u0 we could probably make paper snowflakes during art time along with garden drawings.
