Good news on the Greenhouses front! Well, at least in Greenhouse Three.

First off, the Mandrakes are coming along beautifully, and will need to be moved to bigger pots soon. Second, for anyone looking for Bobotuber pus, we should have some ready within the week. Also, the Bouncing Bulbs might need to be moved, as they're upsetting the already touchy Mandrakes.

Third, the Flutterby Moths have returned to the Evergreen Environment. This is an excellent sign, considering how useful they and the slugs can be for future plants.

Anyway, I'll be working on cleaning up some of the overgrowth and making sure there are clear markers for each of the identified flora. If anyone would like to help, please feel free.

I have a question for you. We were talking with the Headmaster about making a perfume. He can make the base potions, but we were talking about the scent and how to mix them.

For women, I was thinking of a mix of mandarin, galbanum, orange and orange blossom, iris, cedar vetiver, incense and benzoin

For men: amber and iris melt with red ginger, neroli, and sandalwood

What do you think? Can you provide them? Should we order anything? Do you suggest anything else?

	I'm sure we can make space in one of the greenhouses for actual non-magical flowers, although we would need the seeds for those. I haven't seen or found any regular flowers in enough of a quantity to be that useful yet. If you can get me the seeds, it's absolutely possible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm honestly going from perfumes I know, but if you have any suggestion about any other combination, feel free. I'm not married on one particular scent. If there are flowers around here that are common that can be used, that's good too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll see what I can find, and otherwise I'll think about scents that I like. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you and if you need anything, let me know and we can experiment together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've always said Greenhouse Three was the best one. The others need to learn to pull their weight, really. I'll help, if you need me. I mean, obviously I know nothing because I was weirdly distracted in every Herbology class, but I can hold things and provide light entertainment. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Greenhouse Three does have far more variety than the other greenhouses. Are... you blaming me for your being distracted in classes? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think it's just more dedicated to its life of greenhousing. Meanwhile, Greenhouse One is definitely just in it for the money. And yes. 100%. ...Maybe 95%. Sirius should probably get a bit of credit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It does seem rather pleased to be as abundant as it is. Greenhouse One should share that money. Should I worry that you're not giving Sirius enough credit? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It's a bit odd to be excited about pus, but oh! I need the Bobotuber pus obviously. It's used for so many things I need to stock up on in the infirmary. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Are their any other plants you might need? I think I saw some dittany in one of the other Greenhouses. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Moly and Shrivelfig wouldn't hurt. I wouldn't say no to Alihotsy either. Sometimes laughter is the best medicine. I hope so! It's on the top of the list. (Reply to this) (Parent)
