IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Dr. Ariadne Ellis has been assigned as the head and only researcher of this project.

Please do not touch or interfere with her plants, as they may be unpredictable given their quasi-sentience and Strange biology.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTIONS:
THE LISTENING IRIS: A biological listening device. Created to work around Stranges that can cause technological equipment to malfunction, the Listening Iris records the information in its environment and encodes that data into its DNA. Only a skilled geneticist and cryptographer can remove the data, making it an extremely secure method of data collection. Listening Irises also have built-in self defense capabilities, including razor sharp leaves, sturdy stems, and secretion of certain substances that lead to allergic reactions in humans and many other creatures. Before maturity, Listening Irises are called Peepers, because they’re peeping at everything around them with their senses and learning about the world. Listening Irises are very impressionable and take a caring horticulturist to allow them to flourish. They’re quite affectionate as well, but be sure to wear gloves while handling!
POINTERPOINTER [name pending]: The PointerPointer is a plant that can sense a certain spark in someone, or a certain Strangeness. Still in their cultivation and refinement stage, PointerPointer plants resemble kudzu in leaf shape, making it easy to tell exactly what they decide to point to. They’re much less aggressive and invasive than kudzu, however, despite being a trailing vine. They grow slowly, but sturdily, and can take root in even the most hostile-looking places. They’ve been known to cling to the grit of stucco walls and weave through bricks on the side of a building. They’re inspiringly resilient and, as is the pattern, quite affectionate if cared for well.
