Scientific Name: Beautious Maximus

Common Name: Tiny Dancer

Origin: The second-highest peak of the third highest mountain in the Alps.

Growth Cycle: The Tiny Dancer only blooms when conditions are right. The Blue-Footed Whickee bird must poop in the tiny patch of fertile dirt that can be found in the crags of the mountain peak. This is, of course, after the bird has eaten the fruit of the Little Dancer (scientific name: Beautious Minimus) that grows in the lower regions of the mountain range. The seed undergoes a chemical change inside the bird that allows it to become the Tiny Dancer flower.

Uses: The Beautious Maximus is said to be highly poisonous. However, this claim is widely disputed since nobody has ever survived a trip back down the mountain after going to see this rare flower. The dispute has been risen because while some of the hikers were found with traces of the plant in their digestive system, others only had the plant in their possession and had not actually eaten any of it. It is therefore only considered to be useful for really cool pictures that make halfway decent writing prompts.

Ah, the legendary and much coveted Hyrulia Linkara, also known as Heaven's Link. I encountered this flower once while rolling through grassy fields. Its intoxicating smell leaves one in a state of almost hallucinogenic euphoria. Its said that it can cause visions of far way kingdoms, with kings and princesses in need of rescue. Its blooming cycle is unpredictable, but fans of the adventures it brings gather from all around to get a taste of its intoxicating aroma. Personally I only ever smelled it once, when I was young. It never really drew me in, and I don't personally see all the hype, but it makes people happy, and I wouldn’t take it away from them.

This is the exotic Siempre Fideilius. The common name is Purple Spiked Lollyguard. It is from the city of Fantasia, Michelius. The Purple Spiked Lollyguard often grows in the spring and spreads through the valleys of Fantasia all through the summer season. Natives use it to brew delicious tasting teas and cakes. It is said to be poisonous to touch. However, when it is cooked to the right temperature the poisons die and it becomes safe to consume. The Purple Spiked Lollyguard is also worth a lot of money because it is so rare. Hunters are often coming into Fantasia with the hopes of trading some of the plant in for money. However, the guards in Fantasia are aware of this and not one plant has been seen crossing the border for the past 12,000 years.
