Item
Overview
Section titled “Overview”A common gathering flower: one tenth of a kilo, stacks to thirty-two, worth four to a buyer and two back to you. It is the kind of item that fills a pack corner for a whole season and then pays for one meal.
The bulb is the useful part. The bloom is what makes it findable from a distance.
In the field
Section titled “In the field”- Grows along hedge borders in clumps of one to three; picking the clump out entirely stops it returning next season

Chronicle
Lore
Cultivated by hedge-border witches for reasons they never wrote down, and later adopted by kitchen gardeners who found it kept deer honest about their appetites. The bulbs are edible in modest quantities, which is how most cooks learn the word modest.
