54.🍂 Specimen: The Autumn Warden

📜 Field Guide

The Autumn Warden is a sombre guardian of the Poison Garden, its russet leaves and pale eye marking the turn of seasons. Folklore claims these blooms rise where summer fades, watching over places of rest and remembering what has passed. Keepers often describe a strange calm in their presence, though their steady gaze suggests a quiet judgment.

🍄 Habitat

They flourish in soil rich with fallen leaves and decay, often rooted in mossy ground or by weathered stone. Said to draw strength from endings, they grow strongest in autumn light.

⚠️ Warning

Legends say the Autumn Warden never forgets what it sees. To stand too long in its gaze is to feel the weight of your own past.

🎨 Sculptor’s Note

Each Autumn Warden is hand-sculpted and painted, set into moss and soil with miniature skull accents. No two blossoms carry the same shade of autumn fire.
