Quite an interesting and pretty plant, though no great beauty perhaps.

Famous in myth and legend only perhaps. I do not think it is much used today. Just click the link given and all will be clear.
Very interesting. I watched a Harry Potter marathon over the weekend while staying inside due to this coronavirus. The scene with the Mandrake plants had the roots looking like babies that screamed very loud although no one went mad (perhaps because of the ear plugs). I had thought the plant and the lore were creations of the author, but apparently not. Thanks for posting this.

That's OK, I thought it was fun, I hope that nobody minds the little guessing game.
Enjoy being online again!
