evendim
A tiny off-white flower in the shape of the North Star, this is the rarest plant in all of Shaman. It's rarity is due to the nature of it's blossoming, as it thrives and blooms only in virgin forests where no tree has ever been felled by fairy kind. It has dark midnight blue leaves that are long and thin, which the blossoms grow in the center of in clusters of 3. This flower closes during the day, fearing bright light, and only opens when the last light in the sky has turned the teal of evening, hince it's name.

There is an old wive's tale on Shaman that says whoever manages to find this flower and present it to their potential lady (or gentleman) of choice will win their love on first sight of the bloom in their hand. It symbolizes innocence and the desire to love immensely without carnal impurity. Its logical to assume the Evendim flower might be one of the ingredients in love potions.

What's interesting and horrifying about this plant, is the metamorphasis it undergoes if a tree in it's forest is felled. The moment a tree falls in an Evendim forest, the white blooms immediately drop from it's foilage and the leaves start to curl under and downward. By the next evening, the leaves will have turned sharper and broader, sporting a smokey charcoal color. And on top of them will be fire-like stakes of red flowers that resemble sprays of blood (see Red Eve Flower). These red flowers cover entire forests floors, turning them now into aptly named Blood Forests. Once a blood forest has sprouted, the white Evendim blossom never returns.

It is rumored there might still be Evendim blooming in the Kingswood Henge.

red eve flower
The moment a tree falls in an Evendim forest (see Evendim), the white blooms immediately drop from it's foilage and the leaves start to curl under and downward. By the next evening, the leaves will have turned sharper and broader, sporting a smokey charcoal color. And on top of them will be fire-like stakes of red flowers that resemble sprays of blood. It has now morphed into a Red Eve Flower. These red flowers cover entire forests floors, turning them now into aptly named Blood Forests. Once a blood forest has sprouted, the white Evendim blossom never returns.

Having been tested by fairy botonists time and time again, it is indeed a different biological species than the Evendim plant. No Red Eve flower has ever bloomed where there was not first Evendim. This flower is highly prized for it's use in dyes. Its powerful and staining color has been used in making robes and flags which, once red, will never loose its potent blood red color. It is poisonous and not ingestible by fairy or animal.

bio-luminescent butterfly blossom
It is a small but sweet plant, if eaten. It provides long lasting beauty to the world around it with its longevity. The Butterfly Blossom only ever blooms & dies when sheer evil is near OR regular decay occurs ever 2 years. It is a rainbow flower, in the shape of a butterfly. From 4 wings and two antenna if it wasnt the gradient rainbow coloration one could think it to be real. The Stamen of the flower, are the antenna of the 'butterfly' blossom, while the area that holds the seeds is the middle part often considered the butterfly body.

The Bio-luminescent Butterfly Blossom has two ways to spread itself, assuring that it will have a new generation to bloom wherever it lands within the next two years before the next bloom. The standard way is by birds, bees, or other creatures that rub its fur amongst the pollinating stamen passing it on to other flowers around it. At the same time, it will release the little seed pods which crack open and take flight at night. literally. The soft rainbow glow aura covers the valleys in which this seed passes through, once the seeds land a soft pulsing light is emitted as they burrow just below the surface to begin their growing. Once they have slid under the dirt, the aura vanishes and grass will grow over it (if it lands in a dirt patch without grass it will create the grass, otherwise itll land in a patch of grass). And they will grow for those 2 years, until the last patch dies and its times for them to bloom. They can exist in any environment around Shaman, as long as pure evil doesnt exist they can bloom.

lacewood maple
A medium-sized (very rarely over fifteen metres tall), slow-growing hardwood tree. Its most notable feature is a lacy, light green patterning over smooth, dark gray bark that continues all the way down to the heartwood. Once harvested, the patterning eventually bleaches to white.
Leaves are delicate and frond-like, a rich emerald color in summer and yellow-orange in autumn. The Lacewood often has multiple trunks growing close to the ground, supporting a broad canopy of slender boughs. It has tiny, pale yellow flowers in the Spring.
The Lacewood is rare, and both the tree and its wood are prized for ornamental uses, such as knife handles, combs and musical instruments.

monkwood
This plant is made up of small clusters of flowers, ranging in color from neon green to vibrant pink to eye-smarting yellow (but always bright and eye-catching!). Depending on the "smell-ee", the scent these flowers produces changes and is always the most mouth-watering delicious scent in that person's opinion possible. This plant is so tempting that people have been known to eat the whole thing in one sitting, with some... interesting effects! Monkweed is named such because monks often used the flowers to aide in meditation as, in small doses, it produces a calming effect (and also has the side-effect of making people incredibly goofy and happy). In large doses the plant can cause hallucinations (all positive, happy ones) and will also change a person's body in some way (for example: someone "high" on Monkweed may suddenly notice their hair is bright pink, or their eyes have turned purple, or that they suddenly have antlers). The effects, for both large and small doses, typically last about 24 - 48 hours.

wyrmglow
Wyrmglow is found almost exclusively in the Apeliotes Caves and is known mostly for it's light-giving properties. In full darkness, Wyrmglow's favorite place to grow, the moss-like plant emits a soft green glow that is just enough to see by. It grows quickly and is almost impossible to remove completely, it can take over entire rooms within the cave systems in just 24 hours and will cover floor, walls, and ceiling without any problems. If one can get over how bright this can make certain areas, they will find the plant makes excellent bedding as it is fluffy and soft to the touch. Wyrmglow, when smashed into a paste with saltwater, can cure most infections (if applied quickly to the wound). When Wyrmglow has touched blood it turns a dull red color and emits a strange, vaguely menacing smell; it seems to react poorly to murder in particular as entire rooms may turn red if someone is killed there.

agyo
This is a rather unastonishing tree, with wide leaves providing lots of shade, with branches starting roughly two-thirds of the way up the main trunk. What makes this an interesting plant is that it's sap is quite adhesive to inorganic matter, such as stone, without being adhesive to organic matter like fairy skin or familiar fur. This makes it perfect for the construction of stone homes, and it is said much of the labyrinth was building using Agyo sap.

aura's tears
A low-growing, annual wildflower characterized by its drop-shaped, silver-white blooms. The triangular bloom clusters are held aloft by very thin, woody stems - thus, the flowers appear to be floating above the leaves, to a distant observer. Leaves are long and narrow, blue-green in color, and adopt a silvery sheen just before blooming in the fall. After blooming, the plant will die within a few weeks.
Aura's Tears are abundant in the Grove and Kingswood Henge, but rarely seen elsewhere and very difficult to cultivate.
Medicinal properties include -
In a salve: burn relief, treatment for insect bites and poisonous plant exposure, mildly antibiotic. In a tisane: powerful fever reduction
