Inktober 2019 #2 - Crespetalia Flower

Still going with the throwback idea, though the Crespetalia actually comes from a piece I retouched back in 2015 rather than ‘14.

Crespetalias are an iconic flower of the continent of Crescent Minoria of the JI Planet. The orb in the center is actually a delicacy, tasting reminiscent of cherry candy. The rest of the plant, though quite decorative, is not favored for eating.

Inktober 2019 #24: Veriana Flowers Veriana flowers tend to be rare. Each flower it grows has different needs for its environment, and it can be rare for those conditions to all come together in the same area. However, each flower has its own unique root system. As such, these roots can search out soil and nutrient conditions and gravitate towards areas that meet those conditions. All the same, the seeds of Verianas rarely take root unless they can sense ideal conditions somewhere nearby. As a result of their diverse needs, the flowers that Verianas grow also tend to be seasonal, some springing up and flourishing when weather is ideal, and others closing up and receding back into the soil.

Native to the Sky Buddy World, Wingilanas are cultivated for their rich, golden nectar. It is beloved by Winged Buddys, and a jar of the substance makes a wonderful hospitality gift between Sky and Land Buddys.  

Inktober 2019 #11: Skaepara Plant

The fruit of the Skaepara Plant is well-known for the map-like patterns on its surface. It is favored for decorative purposes and dyeing for its magnificent blue color. It is edible, but not particularly favored by Amicans. The leaves also may only be good for filler in tea, and are instead preferred for decorative and fashion purposes.

Inktober 2019 #8: Usu Honeyblossoms The nectar of these flowers are sweet but watery. It can be boiled down however to create a fragrant, very sweet honey to use for sweetening tea, cooking pastries, or as a drizzle in certain dishes.

Inktober 2019 #7: Song Tulip The namesake of Batulia Songlianne, the northernmost continent. The Song Tulip is a legendary flower that is said to hold a very small Fairy Buddy within its petals. The flower gives off a soft red glow and a faint hum, and is warm enough to melt the snow surrounding it. For this and other reasons, the Song Tulip is considered sacred in those parts. It is not to be plucked or used in any way, lest the fairy within it be disturbed.
