Fairy Braids
Fairy Braids are well-known by students of medicine and arcane arts. Though hard to find in sufficient quantities, these vine-based flowers can be distilled and fermented to form potent Antidotes for most minor toxins. Advanced practitioners have been known to use these to cure diseases. Which, however, has never been properly documented. Side effects may occur, however preferable to the disease. Most commonly found in Spring, these sturdy plants somehow endure all seasons.

Stink Crown
The Stink Crowns bloom facing down, to cover their delicate insides from early frost as they require a full Summer's worth of nutrients before showing their autumnal colours. Seldom are they seen during the last weeks of Summer, only when weather has been most favourable. They persist through the first few weeks of winter if snow takes its time to descend, but once it does, the blossoms soon freeze and drop whole.

The core of these flowers emanate an incredible stench to ward off predators, yet somehow the bugs who spread its pollen do not seem to care about its odour. Its smell is so violently shocking when crushing one of its flowers, that, according to legend, it can even wake the dead. In actuality, it has been used to reawaken those who have simply fainted, though dizziness does remain. If the patient has lost consciousness due to a severe hit, the pain does keep throbbing for a while after.

Sunburst Blossom
The Sunburst Blossom blooms late Spring and stays vibrant throughout Summer.

It fades to shades of red and brown in Autumn, unable to gather enough sunlight, which in turn diminishes its curative properties significantly, rendering it useless.

Commonly used in salves, but not very potent. Can easily treat minor wounds if properly infused with natural oils.

Wolf's Bane
Wolf's Bane blooms all Summer and early Autumn. It gets its name from its distinct smell that overpowers canines' sensitive olfactory senses. Ground to a paste and mixed with natural oils, it can be strengthened as an effective anti-canine poison.

It is not a very commonly found flower, as it hides in the shade of bigger plants. Its distribution patterns are also erratic at best, and wind tends to bring its pollen very far away from its original source, making this flower one of the most widespread known flora in the land.

It is prized by many craftsmen, such as clothiers and scribes. Clothiers use it as fabric dye, sometimes mixing it with others for various shades of blue and violets. Scribes however extract the pigment and combine it with their inks to make certain texts pop out more than classical black. Others have been known to use its bright colour in works of art, as much on canvas as on magnificent stained glass panes.
