Blossom Bower — [Open - AW] Spring Collections

"Oh spring, how I did not truly miss your beauty," Larkspur said wryly, walking slowly as the new body perched on her back hopped around. As the world warmed and the plants were rejuvinated, so too were the long, fragrant blossoms that were erupting from her spine. It always felt rather nice when the blossoms opened up, taking in the warm spring sun and providing them with a bit of extra energy than they were used to. But they hadn't really missed the way that pollinators from all over the forest would flock to them, like the hummingbird perched upon their back at the moment while Folke glared daggers at the hitch-hiker. They resisted the urge to shake their pelt out as their hopping around disrupted the fur and thin feathers along their spine causing a faint itching sensation and instead refocused on the circular garden. In their quest to search for Snapdrgon, they had left their little herbal garden unattended to grow unimpeded and in response, the herbs that had been placed had promptly exploded. Larkspur had returned only once before the snow could blanket the ground to put a cover over-top their little garden, preventing the frost from killing the herbs outright and it seemed to have been right move given their garden was presently the only thing alive this early in the spring. The chocolate furred wolf ducked their head, gently collecting a few stems from waving, coneflowers to join the everlasts she had already settled. This is wonderful - if I keep doing this, my travel herbs will be back to normal, Larkspur hummed to themselves. The next step would be gathering physical equipment - bandages, wool, clips and they could start on making some proper tonics and potions to keep with them. They snuffled gently among the stems, debating whether they should keep harvesting or let the rest begin to propagate. --- Text. Speech. Thoughts.
