The deep green 5-8 foot tall stalks of this plant are topped by trumpet-shaped flowers of vivid orange,
bright yellow, and intense red.
Each <> flower has its own function. The orange one shoots 2-8 tendrils from its center,
each 3 feet long,
and any creature struck must save vs. the Poison from the pollen of a tendril or fall into a comatose slumber.

The yellow bloom will bend over the sleeping victim immediately (sensitive
rootlets note where the victim is) and tremble. This vibration looses a
shower of sticky enzyme which causes 2-8 points of damage per round
until the victim is completely rotted away. Each flask of water dumped
upon a victim in the same round as the damage is done will reduce
damage by 1 point; total immersion in water removes the sap entirely.
The red flower extends tubular tendrils of 1 foot length, sinking them
intothe slumbering victim,firstdrawing body fluids at the rate of 1-6 HP per turn
and then sucking up the residual matter after the enzyme
has dissolved the victim's body.

Other color combinations of the plant's flowers are white, pale silvery gray,
pink or golden brown, chocolate brown, and russet.
