Daybloom
"We do not yet understand what gives them their unique traits. The scientific community has triedto uncover their secrets for years, but none of the specimens wehave had seem to reach the mature age for these powers to manifest. And none of the mature plants aregiven up by the clansmen."

Basic Information
Anatomy
Dayblooms are a herbaceous plants with singular stem and large orange bellshaped flower. Usually three leaves pertrude from the base of the stem, but four-leaved variations have been known to exist.
Biological Traits
Dayblooms have a unique ability to grant great powers to druids, who channel their divine powers through the plants. This trait only manifests in the day of Beacon, and is only seen in individuals whose bloom sheds dim light around it. Bigger the plant, more it gives power to the caster.
Growth Rate & Stages
Most of the dayblooms grow up to heights of roughly 10 inches. They usually grow about 5 inch in their first and second year, after which they stop their growth. Very few individuals never stop this growth however, and their lifespan and height are far superior to other dayblooms.
Ecology and Habitats
Dayblooms require warm environment to grow, and soil needs to be rich in nutrients. Geothermal activity also greatly enhances their wellbeing. They are naturally only found from one single island in the Isles of Dawn
Biological Cycle
Dayblooms shed their seeds on the Beacon of their second year. The seeds first make the large leaves before making the stem and the flower on top of it. They usually grow roughly 5 inches during their first and second year. After dropping their seeds, the flowers start to shed pale light for a year, after which they usually drop their bloom, and the stem withers away. The leaves survive about year after this, after which they and the roots die. Some individuals do not drop their blooms at the end of third years, but they keep the light and keep growing for years to come.
