A species of Aguilegia (Columbine plant) flower resembling a group of swans getting close together. But of course, not the same color as actual swans 😃.
Aquilegia, also known by its common names Granny's bonnet or Columbine, is a genus of about 60–70 species of perennial plants that are found in meadows, woodlands, and at higher altitudes throughout the Northern Hemisphere, and known for the spurred petals of their flowers. The flowers of various species of Columbine were consumed in moderation by Native Americans as a condiment with other fresh greens. They are described as being very sweet, and considered safe if consumed in small amounts. However, the plant's seeds and roots, are extremely poisonous and contain cardiogenic toxins which cause both severe gastroenteritis and heart palpitations if ingested.
Takes notes for composing a murder mystery, or an attempt, but demons aren't adversely effected by such poisonous things as long as they're 'all natural'.
