6.🌱 Specimen Name: The Nightshade Orchid

📜 Field Guide Entry:

Regal yet perilous, the Nightshade Orchid unfurls obsidian petals that shimmer faintly under moonlight. Its central maw is said to whisper lullabies to wandering souls, coaxing them into eternal sleep. Folklore claims the fruit-like pods it bears can grant visions of the dead when steeped in wine — though at a terrible cost to the drinker’s sanity.

🪴 Care Notes:

Best placed in dim corners where its beauty may be admired without disturbance. Do not attempt to harvest its pods unless you are prepared to risk the veil between worlds.

Each specimen is entirely hand-sculpted, one of a kind, and will never be made in quite the same way again.
