****This is what I have so far****

Oooh, I love them! I could use a few of those... XD

go right ahead

Nice! I like it very much. *Ponders what plants might be in her world* The fireflower sounds familiar, though. Is it based off C.S. Lewis'?

No actually i think it is off of one of the Land Before Time Movies. Just so happened i remembered it and made up my own purpose for it.
I know they are a kids movie, but hey thats one of the many things i like about having kids! You can watch kids movies with them! especially some of the ones that you grew up with

These are very interesting. Is there a season where the Haliko leaves are poisonous as well? There are many real-life plants that have both poisonous and medicinal parts, and several of those have seasons where the entire plant is toxic.

If someone is a Guznut plantation(?) farmer, are they considered very wealthy or politically significant?

Haliko you pick the leaves in late spring just before the flowering stage....you can dry the leaves for later use (like you do mint) ...the leaves are not poisonous at all.

as for the Guznut farmers, they would be "personal" farmers for politicians. And use their farms to grow food for trading with other countries.
