Special project in Herbology

I stayed after Herbology class this week to talk with Professor Sprout because I was curious about the Alihotsy plants she'd been telling us about. I'd been reading about Alihotsy in my Goshaw's and so I stayed after to ask about it's related to some of the other plants in the Hysteriosa family. Is glumbumble treacle good for treating the effects of those, too, like it is for Alihotsy? And she said I was welcome to try setting up a workbench to test the idea. So I've got some pots set up, and she's going to order some cultivars for me to experiment with a bit.

I suppose this is what potions development and research is all about. It's weird: I like the Herbology side so much better than the Potions side.
