One more Merlin thing

[vanessarama]

By a stunning coincidence, I was talking about how belladonna was once used as eyedrops to make the pupils dilate last Tuesday. Yes, I really am that cool. However, something weird has clearly happened between mediaeval times and now because the belladonna I know actually has tiny drooping purplish flowers and purple-black berries and is generally also known as deadly nightshade (and the reason I was talking about it is that I identified it growing in Lou and Adam's backyard).

Of course, that's not as dramatic as big red petals.
