Plant Type

Floral (Bell Flowers)

Rarity

Common

Description

This species of bell flowers are seen on almost all lands across the realm, avoiding only the harshest of environments such as the desert, and tundra where the temperature fluxes too heavily by the day. The appearance of this flower is what gives it it's name, coming in almost every shade of color imaginable, most commonly sticking to the base colors of red, blue, yellow, and green. The environment of their inhabitant is what most often causes the change in their color, those in dense jungles or forests sticking to color patterns of green or yellows, while those near the ocean sticking to blues or reds. Due to this factor, fabric magics from all over will often go about trading these different colors with one another for their making of dye's, often mixing and matching them with one another for suitable choice for their works.

Location

Being capable of living in almost any environment beyond the desert and tundra where the temperatures spike too much for this flower to handle, growing in large groups or numbers within the point of inhabitant. These flowers grow best with areas of moderate sunshine with ample enough water to keep them healthy, otherwise their colors will fade and lead to the plant's eventual death.

Development

Dependent on the location where they take root, the color of these flowers will change, those in dense forests of green hills will sprout with the base colors of green and yellow, while those near the coast or large bodies of water will sprout with blue's and reds with a large variety of the mixing of these colors in between. Large patches of these flowers have often been called living Aurora's, granting them their names due to the visible brilliance they exhibit. These flowers sprout easily, and work like most other forms of bells, by giving pollen to animals who feed off their nectar, and will allow their seeds to travel with wind or foraging animal by the year, spreading far and wide easily.

Material Properties

• These flowers can be harvested with their petals being crushed into a paste for paint, often used in works of art, construction or tattoo's.
• When the Aurora's petals are eaten, the tongue and teeth of the creature who consumed it will change to the color of the petals for a few IC hours before fading away. This can be washed out by drinking water as well.
• This flower cannot be made into any form of fiber; however, it can be used for decoration or of course to produce dye from its petals.

Alchemical Properties

• If the paste or boiled down petals of these flowers are mixed together correctly, one can produce most colors within the spectrum of sight as a result, often being used by artists, and weavers of fibers as a source of incredibly colorful dye. With enough experimentation some new shades or tones of color could be created by experimenting with these flowers as a result.
