Characters & Traits

The plant whose small purple/magenta flowers are a bit curled up grows with four flower on each stem, with each flower positioned as if at a cardinal point on a compass. The white flowers each have six petals with a straight green stripe running down each and pointed tips. The thin plant branch with nine rounded green leaves has an interesting leaf arrangement: leaves are in an alternating formation, though they are very close and resemble an opposite leafed pattern. The leaf on the end has no alternating partner. The stalk with the bright green needles coming out from all sides has a stem that is broken into fairly even sections by its nodes. Needles extend from many points around the entirety of each node. The stem space between each node fades from brown on the bottom to green at the top.
