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 #3 - Loopspeed Flowervine

Another throw back to this drawing from Inktober 2014.

The Loopspeed Flowervine is an unusual plant that grows in the Great Buddy Highlands and Great Buddy Mountains.

Its leaves grow as if the plant is in motion, and it does grow quite fast- three days from seed to flower. It is rumored the leaves change position at night, leading some to believe the plant really can move.

The petals are beloved for their spicy, cinnamon-like taste and aroma. The leaves also have a similar taste and aroma, but are on the whole much milder than the petals. In tea they are often used to compliment the taste of the petals and give them a richer taste. 

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.

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.
