Starlit Water Hyacinths

Starlit Water Hyacinths are characterized by heart-shaped leaves forming buoyant rosettes that float on the water's surface. Star-shaped blossoms with multiple petals dot the rosettes. The blossoms are bioluminescent, emitting a gentle glow at night due to light-emitting compounds within their cells reacting to reduced ambient light.
These hyacinths are found in ponds, lakes, and slow-moving rivers.
Starlit Water Hyacinths are used in perfume, imparting a delicate, floral scent with subtle sweetness. They are also cultivated in ornamental water gardens. Historically, they have been used to aid digestion and alleviate gastrointestinal discomfort, and some cultures use them for their antiseptic properties. Finally, the blossoms are used in the creation of certain magical potions.
