Bloodbetting

Mel: What's that? Carmine: Assignment for one of my botany classes. I'm supposed to care for it for the next week. Pearl: Bloodwort, huh? Carmine: You're not even looking at it. Pearl: Don't have to. I don't even know what they look like. Carmine: Stop assuming things! Just because I'm a vampire doesn't mean everything I'm involved in has to do with blood. Mel: So what kind of plant is it? Carmine: ...a bloodwort. For the record, it's not even edible.

Some reputations are pretty well-deserved.

And yes, bloodworts got their name from having red sap... which happens to be highly toxic.  Good for use as a dye.  Not-so-good for a snack.
