This large golden-amber flower has a slow growth period in which its stem develops over the colder months of autumn and the winter to grow tall and finally bloom on the turn of spring-summer. On the morning of their blooming, the disk of the flower head catches the sunrays and begins to glow a bright golden light. The glow lasts all day only to dim with the setting sun. After this blooming period the flower sheds its golden petals to reveal red-orange gem-like seeds in the flower head that look as though they were forged by the sun itself. The seeds can be eaten and have a kick to them, making them sought for those who enjoy spice and a good ingredient in potions for warmth or heat damage (if in high enough concentrations).
