Inspiration, Herbology Studies
My character Michaeleas Cuuragusta is famed for her creative endeavors inn Herbology. What better way to pay tribute to J.K. than to let my imagination create a new species of Wizarding plant given as a birthday gift.

I really wanted to title my creation with etymology in mind. I researched various phrases derived from Latin and Greek; I even tried contacting a botanist! The seeds “Placentam Ramus” translate to Cake Branch. Once the seeds are planted and the spell Augamenti is cast, the branch grows before the recipients eyes and blooms a cupcake that burns a blue flame.

The planter and soil are cake (Double fudge cake with caramel macchiato filling).

The plant, flowers, vines, leaves are isomalt cast, pulled, then hand-painted.

The seeds are isomalt and their packet is wafer paper with a hand-painted description. The orange braided rope is a support ribbon for multiple sclerosis, in memory of Joanne’s mother. The plant Marker signifies my House HUFFLEPUFF!

Thank you for looking I really hope you enjoy it. I solemnly swear…Birthday Mischief Managed.
