So I've been thinking about plants...

This is an Atropa belladonna flower (also known as "deadly nightshade"):

This is an Amaryllis belladonna flower (also known as a "naked lady amaryllis", "jersey lily", or "may lily"):

I admit - I have no idea which of the two is supposed to be Asra's favorite flower (I kindof suspect the former*) but they're both pretty different. Atopa belladonna is a perennial rhizome in the nightshade family which has been used medicinally since at least the 4th century BC, despite it's toxic nature (used as an anesthetic and to dilate the eyes either medically or cosmetically... apparently it can also cause hallucinations and has a host of lore associated with that). It's also been used for a WHOLE LOT of MURDER and causes a long, painful death - just a couple berries or a leaf are enough to take down a whole-ass adult human.

Amaryllis belladonna originates from South Africa and is a popular (and sometimes quite invasive) decorative perennial bulb that is also quite toxic (as lilies tend to be). It's growth patterns are interesting as it first produces a flower stalk in the late summer before it dies back and produces leaves in the winter. (I grew up with these in the garden and it is always a thing to hear my dad say 'Ah! There are the naked ladies!' when they start to bloom.)

In floral language (though sources vary a lot) belladonna could symbolize silence... or death, deception, and danger (pretty straightforward - the plant is extremely toxic). Amaryllis might symbolize pride, determination, or strength (or sometimes just literally symbolize a beautiful young woman - since it's in the name - bella donna). Given what Asra has been through (having to be silent about MC's death, but also needing pride and determination to sabotage Lucio's ceremony), either could work.

Adding some further confusion is the Delphinium elatum and Deliphinium grandiflorum cross Belladonna delphinium (sometimes Delphinum Belladonna-Blue) which is a decorative hybrid plant grown in cultivation popular in floral arangemnts:

Which is a member of an entirely different genus (in with the buttercups) and is completely unrelated to either of the previous.

Remember: always use full species names! Also... common names are super confusing.

*As 'Deadly Nightshade' has seen a lot of use in various religious/mysticism practice throughout the centuries - and seems to generally be a staple of pop culture witches.**

**It goes without saying - please don't mess around with this plant, it is ridiculously toxic and very definitely lethal if consumed.

[king-asgore]

what is your opinion on delphinum?

* Oh I adore them honestly..I think their vivid blues and purples contrast nicely with the other warmer tones of most gardens.

* Though I have heard they come in some amazing shades of red as well, I prefer their blue and purple variations a bit more. It’s rather hard to find such intense colors naturally in the plant world.
