The Cupressus Capillaris is a common, tiny plant and can be found mostly in swamps. It blooms in early spring. It has thick, circular leaves, which are usually purple. It also grows large flowers, which can be dark orange and light yellow. These plants grow within short distances from each other, but it's tough to control and maintain their growth. They can be used as an energizer when eaten. As a defense mechanism the Cupressus Capillaris mimics the overall look of a different, poisonous plant. They rely on water currents to carry their seeds away to reproduce. Once pollinated, they grow delicious, small fruits.
