Today's Flower~ I Wasn't Sure I Was Gonna Get It In Today But Here We Are. Now Without Further Ado....

Today's flower~ I wasn't sure I was gonna get it in today but here we are. Now without further ado.... Read on if you please!

Radiana Kandia

Native to Fuline and Reline Ah, the former being the continent of the Dancer Buddys. At certain times of the year they glow brightly yellow or orange--or sometimes both. When Kandias light up often marks the first day of the Dancer Buddy Festival on the continent. Unlike similar clear-petaled plants, the Kandia collects its energy from the stars in addition to the sun and moon. It gives off this energy in radiant displays at certain times.

Today's plant, the Finvine! Quirky little plant it is. I probably coulda done more on it buuuut I'm getting to that point where if I want to stay on top of this I gotta be quick. 😅 Keep reading for more flora info!

Finvine

This fin-shaped aquatic plant is found in 4 out the 7 oceans in JI, and plentifully in the Koran Sea. It can even be found in bodies of water on the continent of Koraln Sing, but it is definitely a saltwater plant. It is never found in freshwater. The clear webbing between the rays of the fin are beloved for making gelatin, but they sometimes have a sour taste to them. This seems to be particular to where and how it's grown, though, so some varieties are milder with almost no taste. The Finvine generally prefers shallower waters where it can still receive ample amounts of sunlight. The shallower the better, though it will look quite limp if not fully submerged. Gelatin made from the Finvine is often served as a snack with tea. The main body of the plant is even known to be used in tea, though its salty taste may be disagreeable to some, adding the webbing to it seems to ease the taste a little, and can make for an interesting surprise if the tea is allowed to set.

Today’s flower! Finally caught up to one a day. Of course, that won’t last probably with Monday morning right around the corner, but, it’s good to be caught up if only temporarily. :)

Luna Cirrala

The leaves of the flower are more like growths from the stem than actual leaves, but they serve a similar purpose. Like many other Crescent Minoria flowers, the Luna Cirrala gathers energy from the moon and transforms it into liquid, which it stores in the bowl formed by its petals. When there is excess lunar liquid, the flower shuts to prevent waste, and opens again when the flower is not as full anymore. The lunar liquid of Crescent Minoria flowers is a coveted substance, though it is known to have strange effects on Buddys, particularly in tea. Though usually, the substance needs to be mixed or diluted if consumed, since it has an unpleasant taste in higher concentrations. At most though, the effects of consuming lunar liquid mostly include wanting to lay in the moonlight and absorb its lunar rays, and the effect is usually short-lived. Diluted, it may be known to cause dreams about Crescent Minoria or simply a longing for moonlight.

Final flower for this challenge! Seems like my compositions have been shrinking lately. 😅 Ah well, I think my other circle composition did really well two years ago so maybe it will be well-received again? Or does this challenge just not do as well here as on Instagram? So far that's been the vibe. Ahhh... kinda makes me wish it wasn't a garbage platform... Anyways! Onto floral descriptions!

Electora Flora

Similar to the Lyta Flora, the Electora flora stores up energy from the sun and gives some of it off at night. The rest it stores in its roots, which can be harvested and used as a power source. Very few know how to do this though, as it requires some technical knowledge. Electora roots are commonly used in the Queen's Palace, as she is one of the few who know how to utilize them.

Pinwheria Magnificentia

A tall flower of the Magnificentia family with curled petals. Though best known for red, they can be found in a variety of colors, usually being accompanied by two other colors resembling beams of light. Occasionally translucent and much fainter than the prominent curly petals, these parts of the plant might more accurately be considered bracts or sepals. A webbing is often found on the lower leaves that can be used to create candy floss or hard candy when boiled down. However, in older specimens, a hard, clear coating is known to form from the webbing, sweet to the taste. Whether one makes their own candy or prefers the leaf coating, if you find a rare Pinwheria in the wild, you'll know you're in for a treat.

Pinwherias prefer high altitudes with dry climates. They dislike rain and clouds and like getting lots of sunlight. They can be found in the Great Buddy Highlands or in the Great Buddy Mountains—particularly on the leeward side of the mountains—in Wing Alayna, as well as in central Warminia Songlianne.

Sz’nami Front and Back

Wooo, a new reference for Sz’nami! It’s been years. XD Another one of the Wotren gang, she’s the mom friend of the team. She ends up helping out a very important character in the series, but the details are confidential for now. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) She’s close to one of my favorites, and honestly, her mom friend moments are so relatable. 😔 At least to me. Anyways, so yeah, this is her! Was hoping to get a few more angles in before ArtFight starts, but oh well. Make sure to follow me on ArtFight if you’re interested! See you on the battlefield~~
