Lesser Skypetal Flyona

Lesser Skypetal Flyona

A member of the Flyona family, Lesser Skypetals are distinguished by their leafy stems and lack of antennae-like stamen. Generally known as a wild version of the Sweetpetal Flyona, sweetener made from Lessser Skypetals is a lot less sweet, and generally takes more to boil down as its naturally sweet fluid is much more watery than its preferred counterpart. Still, a type of liorice can be made from boiling the stem and it is widely enjoyed, giving it one advantage over the more famous Sweetpetal.

Rakarai Akalia

The leaves of the plant have a spicy, herbal flavor that is very popular in Wing Alaynan cooking. While they can be found naturally in Furheart Iiah, they adapt well to artificial environments too and can be found in the Queen's garden as well.

Fyra Flora

These flowers produce heat on their own, and can even be made to ignite by tapping the stamen together. This causes a reaction which stimulates the flower to produce more of its flammable nectar, and in the right environment and with enough flowers, they can even be used to cook food with. The introduction of Fyra Flora into the kitchen revolutionized the way Buddys prepare food, opening up many more options and ushering in the era of culinary science.

Fyra Flora are an introduced flower of uncertain origin. Cultivated in Sky Buddy World and the Palace, they are seldom seen in the wild. Though some have been seen growing near the outskirts of the Great Buddy Forest, as well as in clearings and on the outskirts of Pachimori. In central Wing Alayna they are thought perhaps to be an escaped plant, as they are often brought there for the annual Tea Festival to help prepare food and keep tea warm. However, even then, they tend to revert to seed when the rainy season comes.

Fyra Flora prefer ground water to rain water, which is something to consider when cultivating them. This also seems to explain why the beginning of the rainy season usually marks the disappearance of wild Fyra Flora.

Hariana Blosoma

A rare flower thought to be related to the Hariana family as they both share thin, hair-like petals and grow in the Fuline Ah region. However, Blosomas are only found on certain southern islands on the west side of the continent, whereas Harianas tend to favor the mainland (though some still can be found here and there on the islands, especially the larger ones)

The petals are sometimes used as decorations in dance ceremonies. They can also be candied and eaten as sour treats. The nectar of these flowers has a sour taste to them as well, and this flavor can even be detected in the stem and roots of the flower, though the stem is much milder than the roots.

Stipa Grangania

The Grangania is an underwater plant that grows on nutrient-rich Gangan rocks. Its fruit is a delicacy beloved by Aqua Buddys, though land Buddys say it has a rather salty taste to it. It has a sweetness to it unparalleled by other aquatic plants according to the Aqua Buddys though. Though some Granganias have more a savory taste, they say. After its discovery, it quickly became a staple food in the aquatic community. Due to its ubiquitousness in Aqua Buddy culture, it is often known as the Spotil of the sea. Despite this, it is actually quite rare in the wild, having only become a staple once it could be reliably farmed.

Clearleaf Namiida

Thought to be a cross between the Flyona family and some of the clear plants from Crescent Minoria, the Clearleaf Namiida bears particularly sweet blossoms which rivals that of the Sweetpetal Flyona. Namiidas are also said to glow on nights where the moon is particularly full, leading some to believe it may also be related to Flarowan Pikanas.
