Orbitania

Orbitania

The Orbitania is one of several specimens noted in last year's expedition to Hoshimi Island. From its dark stem color, a hypothesis has been put forth that it may originate from the Flyona line. Other evidence to support this idea is the faintly gummy, licorice-like taste of the stem, a trait which proper Flyona stems have in full. It would seem that other Hoshimi Island flora have a much stronger influence on it than any possible connections to the Flyona line, as its flowers share many of the characteristics of small, creeping vine flowers that were found growing near specimens such as the Spirra Starra, and its fruit bears resemblance to that of a Münlala Spikalif's. As far as the taste of the fruit goes, it was deemed unideal for eating. Like the Münlala's fruit, it proved to be hollow with a light fuzz over top. Light appears to emanate from this skin layer and not the inside, same as its relative's produce. Inside it is a small, dark flower. The fruit can be squeezed to produce water, but isn't particularly flavorful. The yellow petals, however, were noted to have a distinct sour note. The roots have a distinct spicy, radish-like taste when properly washed and prepared, though the upper root layer tends to be more like the stem.

Amanomi Noyabu

In addition to the Air Sea, a type of rain forest was also discovered deep down in the Storm Dimension's cloud layer. The primary specimen we'll be observing is the Amanomi Noyabu, otherwise known as the Wild Rainberry Bush. The berries in question are only faintly sweet and dye the mouth dark blue when eaten, leading to it also being named the Inkberry Rainbush, or Suminomi Amayabu. Its ink-like qualities may mean Inkpetal Dyenas will soon have a rival on the market for ink and dyeing products.

How do you do the gradient colour text on tumblr?

Basically, I use this site to get a gradient text (to get more control over my gradient colors, I screenshot my draft post, load it up in PS [any program with layers, layer settings and gradients will work though], new layer set to screen, rectangle marquis the text, sample some colors from the pic for the gradient [or I might boost them/choose them myself/mess around with the sampled colors with color balance etc], apply gradient once or a few times to make adjustments if the initial one doesn't look nice [first is an opaque gradient, then one color with transparency to make adjustments unless it's really bad, then it's back to an opaque one and repeat process]. Once I'm happy with it I sample a color from each letter, line up the colors to sample from, then copy each hex code as I sample from the lineup and plug them into the site, adjusting for the number of letters), copy the html code once I'm happy with the gradient, then (on PC, but mobile browser works too) hit the gear on the top right corner of the draft editor, under text editor, hit the drop-down menu and select html. Go back to the draft editor, highlight the text to be gradiented, paste html in its place, hit the gear and go back to rich text under text editor, head back to the draft, see how it looks. If it looks bad, I go back into PS (or if you're not insane like me you could adjust it from the site, but I like knowing exactly what color what letter is going to be) and repeat the gradient and pasting processes. The process repeats until I'm happy with how it looks in the editor. Then I move on to finish the rest of my post

Magna Submariana

There is currently only one known specimen of the Magna Submariana, and it exists in the Great Buddy Lake. It is thought to be as old as the lake itself and to hold some great significance to it. Though its role is not fully understood, its other name is Magna Cortiana, and historical records refer to it as "The Heart of the Great Buddy Lake." Locals revere it and dare not touch it, believing calamity may befall the lake were anything to happen to the Magna Submariana deep within it.

Higehige Plant

A houseplant domesticated in Reline Ah, the Higehige Plant was first discovered as a wild vine that grew along the ground. With a little care, it came to be cultivated indoors. As Reline Ah can be rather rainy, watering it is often as easy as setting the flowerpot outside for a bit. Due to the long dry seasons in northern Wing Alayna, it never quite took off there, and remains to be something enjoyed only by the resident Flower Buddys of Reline Ah.

Heleh Lifurloa

If the Clera Fula signifies the start of the rainy season, the Heleh Lifurloa signifies the end. Its root system works tirelessly to help drain the land and stabilize the ground in the wake of the rainy season. In the dry months, however, it's nowhere to be seen. By what process it disappears has yet to be directly observed, but in particularly wet years when the Heleh Lifurloas are far and few in between, they are sometimes seen all year round, vanishing only when the ground around it is sufficiently drained.

It has long, string-like sticky pistils with which to collect wind-blown pollen as Heleh Lifurloas tend not to grow close together. It stores water in its stem, leaves, petals and tubers, which, aside from the petals, all share a glassy appearance. The leaves and tubers swell the more water they collect and shrink as the plant uses it up. The tubers can be shaped to create beautiful, decorative pieces. The leaves and stems are not so easily manipulated, but nevertheless make elegant, decorative pieces if caught before their mysterious disappearance.

The corolla is sometimes plucked to be used as a decorative container, similar to a Jara Flora. The nectar is used to sweeten tea themed around the flower during the Tea Festival. The leaves, stem and tubers can be melted and boiled down to create a slightly sweet syrup as well, but as the initial melted plant is full of water, it usually takes quite a while to boil it down to a syrup, and few parts of the plant are edible without processing. The pistils are trimmed and used to add a sweet, herbal note to tea themed around the plant.
