LilitoileStellae errantes

Angiosperms

Lilitoile (from "lily" + étoile; Stellae errantes, "wandering stars") is an ethereal five-petaled lily "native" (naturalized by Humi) to Arcadia. (Arcadians are not aware of its origins.)

Although relatively similar to the much-beloved lilies found on Tellus, liltoile features a unique, periwinkle-chartreuse center and bioluminiscent properties. All pyrlight absorbed by a lilitoile is emitted from said center and its stamen, rather than by its petals as a whole. This phenomen falls under the "starshine" umbrella shared by many Mythos flora. Comparatively, lilitoile about as luminous as starberries

Lilitoile is plentiful on Arcadia and finds itself routinely used in bouquets. It grows in a variety of colors, with white being the most common.

Much like Tellurian white lilies, white lilitoile has associations with death (being representative of departed souls, or seen as aglow with their energy) and may be offered to the grieving, decorate funerals, or left on graves. However, much like any flower, its symbolism can vary from place to place, and any "negative" connotations rarely detract from its widespread favorance.
