Honey Flower - Tumblr Posts

Inktober 2019 #6: Rinrin Boubou Flower I really struggled a lot coming up with the color scheme for this flower. Apparently I never made notes for what colors it was supposed to be in the original drawings! I have a feeling the main flower was supposed to be yellow, but it looked too bland with all three flowers the same color. That and I couldn’t seem to get it to look right :/ It was too overblown. I managed to tamp it down a little for this, but yeah. Maybe I should have tried yellow with white mini blossoms? Anyways...

The Rinrin Boubou is considered a rather clumsy flower. it oozes honey from the centers of its dangling flowers during its fruiting season, leading some to believe that this substance is somehow the materials for fruits that didn't quite form. There may be some truth to this theory, as the substance, when cooked, forms a substance like sweet scrambled eggs. Uncooked however, the substance is beloved as a sweetener for tea, and during fruiting season, cups of tea can often be seen placed below the oozing flowers to capture the honey for sweetening.

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.
