Pinkheart Tuftoa

Pinkheart Tuftoa

Thought to be related to the cloudflowers of Sky Buddy World, the Pinkheart Tuftoa may have adapted to grow low to the ground due to the fact it grows in central Furheart Iiah, away from most free-flowing water sources and depending largely on being able to gather water from the mist that always surrounds the continent and from the occasional drizzle. This might also explain the recess in its middle, low to the ground closest to the roots where the water it gathers can nearly touch the roots already.

Cotton from the Pinkheart Tuftoa is highly sought after among Fashion Buddys, though it usually needs to be processed first before use as the plain cloud-like material is usually very soggy due to its spongy nature, another feature that comes in handy in its natural environment.

When dried out, though, the cloud-like material floats on its own, which can make for some ethereal, sky-themed looks especially popular among Fashion Buddys with ties to or lineage from Sky Buddy World.

Using Pinkheart Tuftoa cotton for stuffing pillows and the like is generally not recommended unless one would like for the objects in question to float away in the night. It usually needs to be processed into a heavier form for use in objects that are not meant to float away.

Foliana

The petals of the Foliana have a leafy flavor; when simmered for tea, they can be quite good. They are plentiful in central Wing Alayna, a bit rarer south, and hardly seen at all north.

Rakarai Akalia

The leaves of the plant have a spicy, herbal flavor that is very popular in Wing Alaynan cooking. While they can be found naturally in Furheart Iiah, they adapt well to artificial environments too and can be found in the Queen's garden as well.

Gloagli Lavilav

A plant specially bred in one of the Queen's gardens. It had some distant relations to flora in Crescent Minoria, as well as Furheart Iiah. Its closest relative lives in Warminia Songlianne, where much of the crossbreeding took place. Though attractive to Neonyas and Kitonyas, it isn't actually good for food for them or for Buddys. Its purpose is primarily decorative, and it is highly sought after by Fashion Buddys for its color and texture.

Korana Alnia

The larger, solitary relative of Korana Minia. Similar to the Minia, the Alnia stores a heavy, syrupy liquid like that of cough syrup. It has a sweet, medicinal taste that tends not to mesh well with other flavors. While it's culinary use is not yet fully understood, it is generally appreciated more for its aesthetics.

Alnias are always found on flat corals, and for a while it was thought that the plant itself was a hybrid of coral and plant. However, it is now understood that the plant is merely epiphytic and has a symbiotic relationship with the corals it grows on.

Alnias prefer to grow in warm, shallow water, with plenty of access to sunlight. It is thought that the taste of its nectar is stronger the deeper the plant grows. It is definitely known, however, that ones that grow deeper tend to be smaller than those that grow in shallower water.

They are found near Koraln Sing and in some of its interior basins.

Creamala Fressha

A plant rarely seen in the wild, but known to have been cultivated in the Queen's gardens. The Creamala Fressha is surrounded by tough leaves, said to have warded off creatures of yore who would steal the bounty within it. The fruit of the Creamala Fresha is very soft, and as its name implies, is used as cream. It is beloved by many for its light, airy, sweet taste.

When it is found in the wild, it can be found exclusively on the northern end of Wing Alayna, primarily on the northeastern end, though there has been a sighting or two on the northwest side as well.
