Lokelanian Rose
The Lokelanian Rose is as rare as it is beautiful. It's used in all kinds of places, from alchemy and potions, to herbal teas, to medicines and food. However, it only blooms every one hundred years, so to see it is a special treat.To see a Lokelanian Rose is such a unique experience that most do not get the chance to see in their lifetime. It is a very rare, exotic flower, only blooming in the heart of Winter on the island of Lokelani, located far to the North. It is so rare that the Elders of Fu'atha Village control where the blossoms go when they do bloom. While this hasn't started any wars yet, there is always that threat looming on the horizon. While the rose itself is beautiful, with its vibrant blue petals and crystalline stems, its taste is bitter. It works well as medicine, and is known to treat and cure almost every illness except one called Deepset Madness. Mixed with a sweetener, it makes a delicious tea that helps the drinker sleep, though it can cause vivid dreams.

Wow, these sound so beautiful. I would definitely not be surprised if a war was started over them.
I have an idea of how to tie them into the novel at a later point when they do bloom to show just how exotic and sought after they are. :) Thank you! <3
