To complete this deed perform the following objective(s)

This lovely little plant is said to be able to do everything from spreading cheer to curing ailments of the eyes. Some whisper that a tonic of eyebright dripped into the eye before bed will grant the sleeper prophetic dreams.
Legends say that someone wearing this scraggly pink flower on their lapel will soon find love. They are more likely to be swarmed by butterflies, who have a deep fondness for ragged robin.
Sought after by clothiers, the spines of the teasel can be used to raise a fuzzy nap on fabrics, especially wool. Water that collects in small cups which form around the stem is said to reverse signs of aging when applied to one's skin.
Small and delicate, speedwell makes a fine tea, but does not make one move more quickly, as rumours often suggest. It may benefit one who suffers from leprosy or gout, however.
A versatile plant that has both medicinal and culinary uses, Shepherd's Purse is often mistaken for a weed. Though its healing properties span numerous ailments, Shepherd's Purse is also thought to be beneficial in addressing a great number of blood-related issues.
Leathery, dark green leaves and bright yellow flowers make wood spurge a lovely ground cover. When cut, however, the plant bleeds a milky white liquid that may cause pain and irritation of the skin.
Towards the end of summer, the seed pods of the yellow-rattle turn to paper thin, dry husks. The sound made when the wind blows and rattles the seed within is how this lively plant got its name.
Often looked upon with grimaces or trod underfoot, behind the needle-like bristles, the stem of the knotted thistle can be boiled down and used in pie like rhubarb. The flowers, however, have a history of being used to curdle milk by jealous neighbours.
