Losta Flower
A small white flower that turns a deep pink as you reach the center. These flowers grow on berry branches, and while the berries are bitter, the flower itself is very sweet and can be eaten as is. Eating the petals whole will give one a heightened libido while boiling the petals in water will dilute the effects.

Bjella Flower
Red flower with black stripes and has two blossoms on each stem. Blossoms grow upwards, producing a gel-like substance in their centers. The weight of the gel eventually causes the flowers to fold over into their distinct bell shape, at which point the gel can no longer be harvested. The gel can be used topically to prevent or heal external infection while the petals may be eaten raw or otherwise for internal infections.

Tusenmor
Also called Thousand Mothers. A tall, lanky and prickly plant with deep taproots to keep it safe even from the coldest of nights. When ready to flower, it produces hundreds of seeds that spread across the grasslands with the winds. These seeds are invaluable, as when crushed and fed to nursing females struggling to provide enough milk, it helps increase lactation.
