Flower Shop Quotes

“On our middle shelves, our few magical plants grew. We kept three in our inventory: dancing lilies, luck-me-nots, and snapping dragons.
The lilies wave in the sunlight, wiggling and dancing, which is why we put them in the window of the shop. Luck-me-nots are more for fun; you pick a petal then ask it a yes-or-no question. If the petal grows back, it’s a yes. If not, it’s a no. Snapping dragons are nearly identical to snapdragons, but they make snapping noises with golden sparks when touched.
Most magical plants and flowers are too high maintenance for demand. Ones used for cures are kept by medics. Ones used for cooking are kept at taverns or sold at markets. We’d had singing irises, but they had a problem of singing whenever they wanted—until I took clippers to their stems one night.”
