Rœkia scoured the shore, scanning the plants as she looked for signs of meadowsweet. So far it seemed like most of what she was finding was cattails. She gazed about and just as she turned the bend she heard Lukina call out that she'd found some. At first Rœkia was skeptical but as she spied the plant her little cousin was staring at she became more certain it was correct. "Well, well, so you actually found it. Ok, what we want is the root. Help me with digging." It was a shame to have to dig up the plant but it was what it was. Typically the root was harvested in July and since it was autumn a few of the flower clumps were already forming seeds giving the plant a chance at continuing life. Rœkia got to work digging.
