The Bark Bloom is a truly unique and fascinating flower that can be found growing in the lush forests of Ealei. What makes this flower so special is that it is made entirely of tree bark, creating a natural and organic appearance that perfectly complements the environment in which it grows.

The stem is cylindrical in shape and is made entirely of bark from a nearby tree. It is sturdy and strong, and provides support for the delicate cluster of blooms that sits at the top. The bark is textured and has a slightly rough feel, which gives the flower a natural, earthy quality. At the top of the stem, the Bark Bloom features a cluster of tiny, delicate blooms that resemble miniature lilies. The petals of these blooms are made of the same type of bark as the stem, and are slender and delicate, curving inward to form a delicate, bell-like shape. The petals are arranged in a spiral pattern, creating a unique and captivating visual effect that draws the eye in. The texture and appearance of the petals can vary depending on the type of bark from which they are made. In areas where the tree bark is smooth and polished, the petals of the flower are sleek and glossy, while in areas with rough, textured bark, the petals take on a more rugged, natural appearance. The flower can be found on nearly any part of Yggdrasil, and will grow in small clusters together. Additionally, the plant will adapt to the amount of sunlight around it. When found near the roots of Yggradil, it grow taller, like a spindly long tree trying to reach whatever sunlight it can find. When growing on the branches closer to the sun, the flower will look much smaller and sort of stumpy like (thing like mushrooms growing on a log! it's that small!)

One of the most remarkable things about the Bark Bloom is its incredible resilience and durability. Despite being made entirely of bark, it is able to withstand even the harshest weather and environmental conditions, making it a beloved symbol of the region's natural strength and endurance. Overall, the Bark Bloom is a unique and fascinating flower that perfectly captures the essence of Ealei's natural beauty and creativity. Its sturdy, bark-based structure and delicate, lily-like blooms make it a truly remarkable and unforgettable addition to this enchanted land.
