Inktober 2019 #18: Inkpetal Dyenas

As the name implies, these flowers contain strong ink dyes, favored by Fashion Buddys for creating thick, vibrant colors. They can, of course, obtain dyes from a variety of other sources, but Inkpetals are longer-lasting than other available dyes and can be used to create colorful inks as well. 

Inktober 2019 #10:  Windia Flowana This flower feeds on the power of the wind. It seems most comfortable in areas where it can get a lot of wind, but can be coaxed to grow in other areas as well. However, not enough wind will cause the flower to close and the leaves to curl up against the stem. An especially windless Windia flower will droop, and may even disappear into the ground.

Inktober 19 #21: Liifa Minitra a.k.a Lifiana Variati A miniature tree with a characteristic swirl-shaped mark on its bark. Lifiana Variati, as its secondary name implies, is well known for the large variety of leaves it grows. It's sort of like a grab bag to find one- you never know quite what you're going to get with each leaf. Lifiana Variatis are raised traditionally for the Tea Festival. Each year the tea made from the best and most tea-suitable leaves of a Variati Minitra is completely different, and certainly makes for some excitement during the long months of the rainy season.

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 #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 - Yura Aquabulla

a.k.a. Yura Waterbubble Plants, Yurayura Aquabulla

Found particularly in the Great Buddy Lake and River, though they can also be found in the lesser lakes and rivers of Laykia Layna.

Yura Aquabullas are popular commodities among Buddys. They make for quick, portable sources of water, and when stored with caution, can last a long time.
