Basic Information

Genetics and Reproduction

Like all flowers, they reproduce through the pollination cycle passed on from one flower to another through wind and insects that carry them over to one another. This allows them to grow new flowers once the old ones wilt away to bring new ones.

Ecology and Habitats

Cherblooms are mainly found in warm, temperate environments that have lots of moisture and large quantities of sunlight, often being found in meadows and open fields where they are easily spotted by their colors.

Symbol of Love

by Jester%

It is often said that the Cherbloom originates from the tale of two star-crossed lovers who were forbidden to be with one another and tragically ended in their deaths. However, when their love was so strong that their bodies were found, a flower bloomed between them, showing that love, no matter how doomed it could be, should be cherished for all time, and that is how the Cherbloom was named. From that point on, the flower would become a sign that love is worth fighting for despite the hardship and suffering in the world.
