35.🌑 Specimen: The Widow’s Kiss

🌿 Field Description Velvet petals of deepest indigo cradle a single pod shaped like pursed lips—an unsettling mimicry of intimacy. The Widow’s Kiss appears alluring at first glance, its bloom lush and inviting, but to lean too close is to risk being drawn into its grasp. Beneath its shade, the soil is often littered with curious remains, tokens of lives it has quietly stolen.

🧪 Habitat & Folklore Said to thrive in graveyards and ruins, feeding on last words and sealing them within its lips. Some claim its bloom whispers with the final breath of the forgotten.

💀 Warnings Do not allow skin contact with the pod—the plant is known to cling, leaving bruised marks like a lover’s grip. Prolonged exposure may cause vivid dreams of voices calling your name.

🎨 Sculptor’s Note Hand-sculpted and one of a kind, captured in full bloom with a skull nestled at its roots.
