Sentient Bearberry

The Gardenia Clethroides is an uncommon, small plant and can be found only high in the mountains. It blooms once a year, for 3 months. It has narrow, egg shaped leaves, which are usually light green. It also grows decent sized flowers, which can be white, yellow, light silver and bronze. These plants grow in small numbers, but it's tough to control and maintain their growth. They can be used as medicine. As a defense mechanism the Gardenia Clethroides taste very bitter. They rely on winds to carry their seeds away to reproduce. Once pollinated, they grow delicious, small fruits.
