Description

Ombra's Teacup is a vibrant flower which grows in small patches of the forest's floors. Most easily resembling other tulips, the petals of the teacup share the same shape, however not the same wonder. Each petal is intricately beautiful and unique, going from a deep and dark purple towards its edges, before turning into shades of lighter purples and magentas towards the petal's center. Throughout each petal, various speckles of white adorn it, reminding early scholars of the night sky.

The stem of the plant is notably black, while the stamen and pistil are a pure white. It is a pure representation of the goddess's majesty as most would imagine it, and from this they have come to be used commonly adorning areas of Ombra's worships, grown even inside of some of her finest chapels. Yet these plants are also known for their other property of granting more refined vision, both at night, and acutely at all times. It is said that those who consume the plant are given this blessing by the Night Mother herself, in hopes that her disciples might make wiser choices. This is however, not proven factual by any reputable source.

Location

The Ombra's Teacup resides in heavily wooded areas. It enjoys humid climates with cooler temperatures. It tends to linger in the shade, not needing as much sunlight as some other plants.

Development

Ombra's Teacup begins its life cycle in a bulb which is pure white in color, containing the seeds needed for the flower to later grow. Once buried shallowly in mineral rich soil and in cool, shaded areas, it will begin to grow over the period of [1 OOC month] into a full-sized Ombra's Teacup. It is said to only bloom at night, its petals opening up to reveal small white stamen where the pollen is carried.
