Blue Bells | These flowers have bell shaped blossoms that hang downward. They are very fragrant and are commonly used for weddings and baby showers. The blossoms range from a light to dark blue in color as would be expected. They are found in hill to mountain regions with a temperate climate. They usually blossom from late spring to early fall, although some have been seen blossoming still in the early winter. | ||
Dragonswort | These ugly dark green plants are easily noted for their sharp green leaves with jagged edges and the hard red-brown seeds that grow on them in clumps. The leaves are usual components in spells involving dragons, reptiles, or protection. The seeds which only appear during the late spring and are gone by early fall, are mildly poisonous, usually causing several days of strong stomach pain if ingested orally. If a poison made from the seeds is injected into an open wound or sore, it will usually result in several days of high fever. Often located in swamps, these rugged plants can take almost any degree of sunlight. | ||
Ferrowleaf | These plants grow only about a foot tall and are identified by their light green leaves that are marked by light brown veins. Leaves are roughly oval shaped with a feather-like vein marking. The leaves of these plants are known to be a mild anesthetic and are also used in some allergy remedies. Often located in moist dark forest areas, but can not take excessive water, such as swamp areas. | ||
Fin Flowers | These rare flowers are named after the three petals of the blossom which are shaped with a similar webbed design as that seen on a fish's tail. The blossom colors range include, red, pink, and purple, although there are rumors of a very rare blue-green blossom. These flowers are highly prized amongst seamen and fishermen as signs of good luck in addition to some spells and potions of water motion. They are usually found in coastal regions. | ||
Frost Flower | These white flowers have a light blue tint near the edge of the petals. The blossoms only measure about half an inch in diameter, with 6 to 10 blossoms per plant. The stem and petals are also unusually thick. These plants, and especially the blossoms are highly sought for spells, potions, and salves for the protection against the cold and for cold based spells. The crushed blossoms are also supposed to be a remedy for frost bite when mixed with warm honey. Usually found in the high mountain regions although sometimes in the hills and valleys as well. Strangely this flower blossoms only from the late fall to the end of winter. Coming and going with the frost and snow. They quickly wilt in warm temperatures. | ||
Glories | These are wild flowers with blossoms of about 2 inches in diameter usually with 8 petals to a blossom. They have a mild scent that is easily identified. Blossom colors range include white, red, yellow, and blue, although there have been said to be a few orange and purple crossbreeds. Usually with only 1 or 2 blossoms to a plant, the plants themselves appear in groups measuring from 5 to 15. These plants are often used in ceremonies for fallen heroes and in remembrance of battles. They are also collected to welcome home armies after a war. They are common to most climates, even sustaining in the high mountains, although they usually do not take well to very damp areas such as swamps. | ||
Lockspring | These are a vine plant that usually grows up to 5 feet tall given a suitable object to grow upon. They are called Locksprings by the lock shaped leaves and the small curly vines that appear besides the leaves. Also located near the vines in the mid summer, one can usually find small blue berries. While the vines and leaves serve no medicinal purpose, they are often used as spell components in spells involving warding, traps, and other thieving skills. The berries are edible, although are small and have a very sour taste. Some thieves are known to eat a berry before a difficult job for better luck with locks. These plants are usually found in forests, although they can sometimes be found in more residential areas. They require little water, but much sunlight. | ||
Moonbane | These are small blue-white flowers that open up during the day, but close up at night. Very rare. Flowers measure about half an inch in diameter and are usually found with about 2 to 4 flowers blooming on a single plant. They are used in many spells that involve moonlight or transmutation. They are also an important component in lycanthropy cures. They require minimal sunlight, but can not grow in complete darkness. Are usually found in deep forest, but have also been known to grow in some mountainous regions. | ||
Rabbit Weed | Also called "Jumpers" by some. This weed gets its name from its tendency to jump from one place to another, not for any affection the animal with same name has for it, although the weed is identified by it's two large leaves which are said to be the rabbit's ears. In addition to the two leaves or "ears" there are also two thin stems between them that upon which rest a few very small blossoms. These blossoms only appear in the mid summer and last for about two weeks. This plant is also considered a weed because in addition to spreading quickly, they dry up the nearby soil, killing off nearby plants. The "jumping" these plants do is also attributed to large intricate root systems more than normal seed disbursement. Being that these are weeds they are found in almost all terrain and in both temperate and arctic climates. | ||
Snakeweed | These weeds get their name from their resemblance to snake tails, the stem of this plant has a texture similar to scales. These weeds are often used in spells related to snakes and other reptiles. These plants open up at the tip in the early fall releasing spores. Large concentrations of these plants may cause harsh allergic reactions in some people. Snakeweed is found in temperate forests, hillsides, and mountains. | ||
Swampfern | Named after its tendency to be found in swamps. These ferns have a brownish yellow color and have the appearance similar to that of a normal fern, but more bloated. The main medicinal use for this plant is the use of the liquid extracted from its leaves in an ointment to remove the itchiness of bug bites. Found in swamps, naturally, in both temperate and tropical climates. | ||
