Lokelanian Rose Petals
“The rose is a very potent flower, but it’s good for a lot of things. They’re very rare, though, because they take a hundred years to grow. But they are supposed to cure almost anything, except deepset madness, and terminal illnesses.”One of the most common ways to use the Lokelanian Rose Petals is with Vonpar Berries and a spice similar to Clove. It is a potent tea that helps with sleep but can bring vivid dreams to those susceptible. Whether these dreams are pleasant or nightmarish depends on the person and what their deepest desires are. Most have a positive outcome of the tea, but for a few... Well, let's just say those cases are extremely rare, just as the rose.

I don't care how rare it is, I don't want to take the risk of having vivid nightmarish dreams! XD I love the deep blue colour of the roses, and I really like that you've thought about the fact they need freezing or they go off really quickly. I also enjoy the '... yet'. Mysterious!
