blood flower
This is one of the blood-red flowers that grows only in places where the anthropomorphic personification of dreams kills his son, and his son's blood spills on the ground. As you can imagine, it's pretty rare. It looks like a dark, depressing flower, but smells surprisingly sweet and poppy.
