CREDITS: I got the idea of the Sprunklers from Super Mario Odyssey's Steam Gardeners
And the magical flowers on the right are all from the Minecraft mod, Botania (courtesy of Feed The Beast)

This one has been collecting dust since like...I dunno, February? It's amazing how long these have just sat there languishing, until the time when inspiration FINALLY strikes again. In this case? I spent quite a bit of time revamping the looks of the flowers on the right, and I'm quite proud of them! They were really messy and sloppily drawn before, so that was a big improvement.

NOTE CARDS:

Sprunklers
- It's been established what they can do when they aren't under control. But to reign them in, one must remember: NOTHING can make them stop growing plants. They'll ignore you and keep watering plants if you tell them that. Instead, the trick is to keep them busy with something else (i.e. water a Dehydrangea, which won't ever grow as long as it's watered), or...do what the Glogals did.
- To get them to permanently leave the Jungle Kingdom, before they do any more damage, the Glogals rounded them up, and ordered them to water poppies. Why does this work? There are no poppies in the Jungle Kingdom. So they left it behind to find somewhere with Poppies.
- Now...Queen Alicia purportedly takes quite a liking to them? For some reason or another. It could be she finds their mischief and stupidity rather charming. Personally, I believe I would tire of their antics very quickly.

------------------------------------------------

Magic Flowers
- All of these flowers can be linked back to Queen Alicia in some manner, because she does have the ability to create new species of plants. Most of the ones on this page have the ability to create Mana from drawing in a specific kind of "fuel".
- Dayblooms almost became invasive. This owes to their highly prolific nature, but what's interesting is Queen Alicia's way of wrangling them. Namely, she had gone to each place where Dayblooms grew, and she transmuted them into different new subspecies. The Dayblooms no longer had to die to bring ecological stability, but now they were too specialized in habitat to proliferate outside of their preferred ranges. Albeit the Daybloom seen here is an artificial breed specially bred for mana production.
- I'm particularly familiar with Pollidisiacs, because they're a cereal crop, not at all unlike say, amaranth, quinoa, millet or sorghum. On top of aiding other plants, they Pollidisiacs are particularly good at attracting animals. They are an almost universally loved snack for animals, and the natural aphrodisiac they carry encourages them to mate. This includes people. This humble plant has kickstarted many a civilization--but it's also good at encouraging overpopulation.
- Which is essentially what the Sprunklers ended up doing. Cultivating an entire field of fast-growing, fast-reproducing, magic producing plant life, turning the Jungle Kingdom from a death trap infested by carnivorous plant life into an exclusion zone saturated by mana radiation.

I didn't dare venture deeper to find the source of that incandescent bloom--that ridiculously horrifying, explosive quantity of mana. No one could possibly survive that...
