Meadow pimpillowe

A low growing flowering plant found in many regions across the world, the plants are so named for their flowers which remarkably resemble the marine invertebrate of the same name. Meadow pimpilowes are cotyledonous plants featuring a crown of thin strap-like leaves which emerge as a whorl from the central crown. The plants are perennials in areas where the climate allows and will as such flower all year round. The "pimpilowes" themselves form as a large flower head bearing short central anthers and hundreds to thousands of florets arranged in a spheroid whorl. Prominent styles emerge from the central flower head giving the flower its characteristic appearance. Depending on region the florescenses may vary in colour. While on the continents of Calavier and Palachia the hues may vary from lilac to pink, as well as pale blue and even a wan yellow, species from Minami Akrufia are typically red or orange. There are several species as with the one pictured below on the bottom right found specifically in central Minami Akrufia which bear odd green florets with striking orange styles. Pimpilowes found within the Demon Kingdoms typically vary between a lurid pink or indigo hue. The styles on these species are typically more phallic in appearance than found elsewhere.
