    Hmm... well, I only know of one from the Courtship of Princess Leia; it was described as a "violet, trumpet-shaped flower" from Alderaan. Here's an exerpt from the book:

    "'This is an arallute,' Leia said. 'Folktales said that if a new bride found one growing in her yard, it was a sign that she would soon have a child. Of course, the bride's mother and sisters always made it a point to plant an arallute in the newlyweds' lawn after the wedding, and of course they had to do it at night. It was considered bad luck to get caught.'... 'When it dries,' Leia said, 'the petals fold in and the seeds get trapped in the dry flower. Mothers then give the dry flower to their babies to use as rattles.'"

    Hope that helped a little. :)

    I guess the wedding flower wouldn't work then . . .

    I used Ithorian Thira blossoms in a story once. Basically Tiger-lillies.

    Your sig gives it away. 8-}

    They have pointed petals. The petals are bright orange with black, elongated spots (not stripes!) on them. The flowers are pretty large and grown on tall stalks. I'll see if I can find a pic . . .


    EDIT: [image=http://www.hortiplex.com/plants/jour/p/06/gw1023306/260191984425177.jpeg]

    EDIT2: Here's a URL for those people who can't see the pic for some reason.

    I have a game called the gungan frontier its for kids in which they have to rebuild the gungan ecology, there are a number of naboo plants and animals with pictures and descriptions of them. I will look into it and let you know. That is if your interested in NAboo plants.

    While playing it with my little cousin I remember a pink fragrant flower from alderaan mentioned but I don't remember the name.

    i got Destiny's Way and they have several flowers mentioned there, so i'm going to put them up:

    rainbow colored fungi (Bakura)
    lofty yellow Pydyrian blossoms

    ok, so there were less than i thought. anyways, the descriptions and all were taken directly from DW...



    TSM: it's for a sequel to a fic...the fic isn't finished yet, but my computer's acting screwy, so i'm writing it out...anyways, i just wanted to know so that i could write the sequel...it is J/J and hasn't been posted yet...


    sabrelight- any type of flower is welcome. i want others besides me to be able to use this thread....

    There are many other plants and trees in the database, but I'll only give details about the flowers

    Milla flower
    This prtty ground cover flower has a scent so sweet it is believed to sooth a rancour.
    Small pink color flowers growing in clumps.


    Till flower,
    Beautiful, light yellow and golden flower which is a native of Alderaan. It is highly prized for its wonderful smell and asthetic values.

    Both these flowers grow on NAboo.
