| APPEARANCE/PHENOTYPE |
|---|
| The Bláth an Dusk, or Twilight Bloom, is a flowering plant that reaches a modest height of 25–40 cm. Its blossoms are notable for their chromatic transition: petals open pale in daylight but deepen to violet and orange hues as dusk approaches. Each bloom measures 8–12 cm in diameter, with layered, tapering petals surrounding a luminescent central core. The leaves are ovate, smooth, and arranged alternately along short, fibrous stems. This plant’s circadian rhythm strongly influences its visual profile, with blooms responding to light shifts at sunrise and sunset. The phenomenon is due to specialized pigments in the petals, optimized for low-light pollination. It favors transitional environments such as forest edges or twilight groves, where ambient light varies throughout the day. |
