Starblossom

Starblossom is referenced as part of the living groundcover and river‑edge flora within the grounds of the Concent of Saunt Edhar, where avout work with it in the Meadow.

First Appearance and Context

It is first mentioned when two avout are out in the meadow coaxing the starblossom to grow in a desired direction, during a season of approaching equinox when outdoor horticultural tasks resume.

Characteristics and Growth

• Treated among the hardy shrubs and vines that favor sandy margins along the concent’s inner river.
• Its growth can be guided or trained, suggesting it responds well to careful handling and placement during routine tending.
• A yellow-flowering form is observed; veins of yellow starblossom can rapidly colonize disturbed ground and run up exposed slopes.
• Regarded as invasive when it encroaches beyond tended areas.

Roles and Use

• Part of ongoing groundskeeping and avocations carried out by avout on the meadow side of the concent.
• Noted alongside other resilient riverbank plants such as slashberry; specific practical uses beyond shaping and upkeep have not been stated.
• During a formal celebration at a developing site named for Saunt Orolo, garlands were expected to feature starblossom among other readily available plants, though cultivated flowers were ultimately brought in from outside instead.

Current Status/Location

• Observed growing along the inner river and within the meadow at the Concent of Saunt Edhar, where avout direct its growth as part of seasonal work.
• Also seen spreading as a visible vein of yellow starblossom on the outer slope of the crater near the new enclave dedicated to Saunt Orolo.
