Blood flower
From A KoL Wiki
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.

Notes
- Ever since the destruction of The Gray Plague, blood flowers no longer drop.
- During the times of The Gray Plague, could be taken to Doc Galaktik's Medicine Show to be made into Doc's Miracle Cure.
References
- The bit about it being poppy likely refers to World War I graves and battlesites, where poppies grow in memory.
- The description refers to Neil Gaiman's epic series The Sandman, in which Morpheus, the anthropomorphic personification of dreams, is forced by circumstance to kill his son, Orpheus. In a series of panels immediately after the death, blood falls from Morpheus's hands, hits the ground and turns into flowers. This is turn a reference to many fables describing the origins of various things found in nature.
- Blood Flowers is the title of an album by The Cure, and the description "It looks like a dark, depressing flower, but smells surprisingly sweet and poppy" is a description of the band's sound.
