Plant of the Day

Monday 13 June 2022

The upright perennial Dictamnus albus (burning bush, candle plant, dittany, fire plant, fraxinella, gas plant, spitfire plant) is flowering. The divided leaves are highly aromatic, some people describe them as smelling of lemons. This slow growing plant is covered with oils which can cause skin irritation in sunlight.

Hey guys! I’ve noticed that one of the most overdone trends with Warrior Cats designs is the usage of cats in these designs, so I thought it would be even fresher and better to redo this blog with better designs. I’m willing to design neon plant warriors from now on. I understand this may be a difficult change for lots of people, but it really speaks to me and hopefully the rest of you. Thank you all for the support.

Concept art of a fireplant. 

It’s a root planting type of fruit. It gets its name from the yellow, orange, and brown designs which resemble flames. It’s thought that it evolved these stripes to attract specific animals that can see the red-yellow colors. Without the color tones it blends in with tall grass. Some rodent and bird animals seem attracted to this plant from afar and even make homes out of the thick outer skin. 

Despite its name, the fruit is poisonous to dragons and the leaves will give your dragon a nasty rash. If burned near reptile type animals it can kill them. The plant thrives on the large island of Caith. Where it grows wild there are no reptile creatures within the radius. Researchers think this is why there are no wild dragon populations on Caith. Because of this Vermatt has strict laws against bringing any seeds or parts of the plant into their ports and it’s never to be burned.

The indigenous people of Caith sometimes use fireplant to create soups and in ritual celebrations. The plant creates beautiful red smoke while burning and has an aroma that is similar to nutmeg.
