48.🌸 Specimen: The Vigil Bloom
đź“ś Field Guide
The Vigil Bloom is ever-watchful, its pale petals cradling a wrinkled bud with a vivid pink eye. Folklore claims these blooms act as guardians, placed at garden edges to keep watch over thresholds. Keepers often describe the uncanny feeling of being followed by its gaze, sharp and unyielding, as if the plant judges every step.
🍄 Habitat
They thrive in mossy soil and shaded corners, favouring spots where they can observe paths and doorways. Their long stems lend them a sentinel’s stance, standing tall above smaller growth.
⚠️ Warning
Though silent, the Vigil Bloom’s stare unsettles. Tales say ignoring its gaze too long brings nights filled with restless eyes in the dark.
🎨 Sculptor’s Note
Hand-sculpted and painted, each Vigil Bloom is unique, set into moss and soil with natural details. No two blossoms ever watch alike.
