Indigo looked at them with wonder, his bright sapphire eyes looking over the plant curiously while Iolaire told him what it was. ”Hibiscus..” He wouldn’t soon forget it. Already he looked forward to making tea with his own harvest someday. The curious boy watched as the woman carefully extracted the plant from the earth and carefully placed it in a wet hide.

The boy nodded his big purple head in understanding as she moved on and ask what else he wanted. ”Hmm.” If he had a theme to his tiny garden instead of just randomly picking flowers. ”I don’t know what it looks like.” He said quietly. ”Mom has lavender in the den. I really like the smell of that.” He told her, hopeful that she had some for his little patch of land.
