HERBOLOGY CLUB: Herbfind #1

Herbfind #1

This is an activity I would like to run in the club on a weekly basis.
It should be educational, fun and easy.

Here's how it works:

I show you a picture of a plant or herb like this one, which is your herb for this week:


Then I give you some information about the herb:

* The flowers of this herb are the parts most commonly used, and they can be used fresh or dry.

* It is most often used in infusions.

* It has been used to remedy ailments as many and varied as ( those under this cut )

Now you make your guesses about what the herb is (I've made it an easy one this time) in a comment to this post. The comments will be screened so that everyone gets a chance to guess.

Everyone who answers correctly will win 5 points for their house.

Once the comp. closes we will be able to have a discussion about the herb and what we each know or have discovered about it, it's uses and how to grow it or where to buy it etc.


Sound like fun? Good!

If you're not yet a member of the herbology club you can join up whenever you like. The application is HERE, so go and apply in a comment to that post.

Once you are a member you can take this little banner and add it to your userinfo if you want to:

Wow! I am so impressed with the response to our first activity. I'm really happy that you are already exhibiting such enthusiasm for this club. :)

Things are beginning to slow down a bit now though (to be expected as it's been a day and a half). So, I just wanted to give you all the heads up that I am planning on closing the debate at midnight (EST). If you have any closing arguments to make, get them in!

Please! In the future remember to sign all of your comments. If you don't sign, it doesn't count (the same as the rules for the main community). Some of you lost out on a lot of points this time around. :(

I'll post the point totals soon, as well as our first area of study...
