Covent Garden Flowers, Thursday
Half the plants in the shop were stinging nettles.
And they were hiding, as Octavia discovered when she accidentally touched one when she reached for a completely harmless flower and felt the burn on her fingers. So, half of her shift was spent combing through the store - with gloves on - to find all the nettles and put them on a side table like they were a special sale they were doing.
The other half of her shift was spent at the counter, reading up on the uses of stinging nettles. Turned out, there were many.
So at least they were potentially useful, if annoying.
[ooc: Open, no OCD.]
