A bumble bee lazily wobbles about the different flowers and foliage and lands on a tiny white bloom on the purple sapling. Upon getting covered in the pollen, the bee seems to buzz about with a bit more pep and focus, maybe a little more energy to boot. He leaves a glittery trail behind him as he continues on his task of pollination.
There is something very magical and very mysterious about the purple saplings. Something perhaps worth continued study.
Takeko was correct in her assumption that transplanting the sapling would be a bad idea. The sapling requires the potent magic of the Fae Clearing in order to continue growing.
Transplanting the Mandrake and Hazia is the best course of action due to the dangerous mix of the two roots upon exposure. The instructions on how to separate the two have been written on the ancient map, so Takeko can try to decipher the pictographs or seek out someone who may know how to read the language.
Upon returning to her home, Takeko will find a very big parcel waiting on her door step. The parcel is a very large wicker basket covered with a wool cloth. Inside, she will find various tools such as a green marble mortar and matching pestle, a large ceramic and a large wooden bowl nested together, inside the large bowls is a glass pot. Inside the glass pot is a bundle wrapped in another wool cloth. Inside the bundle are various sewing supplies such as ceramic needles, thimbles, cotton thread, scissors, pins and a few small balls of various colored wool yarn. In the glass pot is also three beeswax candles secured together with a piece of wool yarn.
There is also a note attached to the top of the basket that reads:

Takeko,
I have heard you will be needing these items. Don't take them for granted, as they cannot be replaced. Green marble, ceramic and wool are very, very rare on this island. Beeswax can be harvested from wild bee hives, but be careful where on the island you collect it. There are very few sheep on this island because the denizens care not to raise them, so the Dragnid beasties tend to eat them faster than they can reproduce in the wild.
These items are blessed and cleansed and ready for use. Remember to never use metal in potion-making, and only ever use your knife to cut the herbs.
If you need assistance, I'm available.
