Bihar Flower

Only the gentlest of paws can handle the Bihar flower of Demaria, for it bruises easily. It makes a lovely sight when floated gently on a setting of water, but getting it inside is tricky. One paw must cradle it gently, not bruising it, while the other must shield it from outside damage. Red is the more normal color but, on rare occasions, the plant will produce a blossom of almost the color of gold. No one knows why. The golden blossoms bruise more easily than even the red.
