🌸 Specimen: The Lavendermouth Bloom

📜 Field Guide Notes:

The Lavendermouth Bloom opens in soft layers of pale violet petals, loosely arranged around a small, green mouth set with fine, unobtrusive teeth. Unlike more aggressive specimens, its posture is relaxed, almost gentle, though the presence of teeth suggests a capacity rarely required.

🍄 Habitat & Folklore:

Said to grow in neglected borders and sheltered corners where the garden is allowed to soften rather than spread. Folklore claims these blooms develop mouths not from hunger, but as a precaution—formed during periods of prolonged quiet.

💀 Warnings:

Do not underestimate its stillness. While inactive, prolonged isolation is believed to encourage the teeth to become more pronounced, as though the bloom grows bored of peace.

🎨 Sculptor’s Note:

Hand-sculpted in pale lavender tones with a delicately toothed centre and fresh green foliage. Set in a mossed terracotta pot. A calm specimen with subtle defences—best suited to quiet rooms and shaded shelves.
