Inktober 2019 #5: Flufftuffs

Grows wild in the Great Buddy Forest and in some other wooded areas. Beloved by Fashion Buddys for the wooly fibers that can be produced from the tufts.

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.

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 #17: Flarowan Pikana A blossom that prefers warm summer nights. It stores up energy in the day and releases it at night in a brilliant display. They are beloved sights during the Tea Festival, particularly on drier nights. On days when it rains it will not open much at night, and give off little energy. The petals are actually sweeter when giving off energy, so they are preferred prepared and served quickly. The petals will continue to glow after they are plucked, but only for three hours. That is why a quick preparation and serving are optimal for sweeter teas.

Inktober 2019 #16: Kuana Plania An unusual plant, even for Crescent Minoria. It takes in very little moonlight via its glowing bits. Instead, it relies on its deep root system to find nutrients hidden far beneath the continent's low-nutrient top soil. However, due to this, the plant stays very small in its first stage of life until its roots can find proper nutrition. It's glowing bits are also larger then, gradually shrinking as the roots locate nutrients. Once they have found sufficient soil, the little plant can grow very rapidly to its mature size.

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.
