The first time I heard the Czech name for hellebore (čemeřice) was in Witcher 3.
This meeting in a videogame was also one of those strange times when a plant became eager to meet me. In the Witcher 3 you famously loot and collect thousands of items, and many herbs, yet, only when I saw the word "čemeřice", something stirred in me. A knowing, a recognition... a feeling of having something at the tip of my tongue.
