LeafCollector & Nolan
Nolan
I was just tracing the provenance of a 16th‑century herbarium bound in calfskin, and it struck me how often those old cabinets hide more than just plants—sometimes secrets, sometimes conspiracies. Have you ever come across a specimen that seemed to be more than a leaf?
LeafCollector
Ah, I once found a dried leaf that, when opened, revealed a tiny hand‑written note tucked inside—just a scribbled line about a clandestine herb trade. It was as if the plant itself was trying to whisper its own story. That’s why I always check the underside first; you never know what secrets might be waiting beneath the bark.

Sounds like a real-life botanical mystery. I love a good hidden message—like the plant itself nudging you toward something bigger. Keep that habit of looking under the leaf; you never know what other secrets are hiding in plain sight.
