Bloodpetal

Bloodpetal is a hardy flowering plant known for its small, vibrant red flowers that grow in abundance across the semi-arid plains of Helerin. Despite its delicate appearance, Bloodpetal is a resilient species that thrives in harsh, dry conditions.
Its striking red blossoms add colour to otherwise barren landscapes, and the plant’s adaptability makes it a common sight in the arid regions of the archipelago.

Form and Appearance

Bloodpetal produces clusters of small, deep red flowers that bloom from its low-growing, bushy stems. The plant’s foliage is sparse, with tough, wiry stems that help it conserve moisture in dry environments.
The flowers are small and numerous, creating a bright splash of colour during its blooming season, which occurs in the warmer months.

Habitat

Bloodpetal is well-suited to semi-arid plains, where water is scarce, and temperatures can reach extreme highs. The plant prefers dry, rocky soil, and is often found in the cracks between stones or in open plains that receive little rainfall.

Geographic Distribution

Bloodpetal is common across the semi-arid plains of Helerin, particularly in the Giramon Coast and Kalar Plains of Mar Miskun. It is also found on the Arrimor Peninsula Peninsula in the far south, though less frequently.

Uses

The vivid red petals of Bloodpetal are sometimes harvested for use in decorative crafts or dried and used in ceremonial garlands. While not commonly used in medicine or cooking, the plant holds symbolic value, representing endurance and beauty in the face of adversity.
