Bleuka Gumidro
Since the discovery of the Blua Elektraika, an ambitious project was undertaken to create crossbreeds with it, first with the Razzisky Zazzleflower in order to help ground the unstable dimension it came from, which resulted in the successful creation of a new variety, the Razzisky Lita. The next ambitious project involved creating a crossbreed with a flower that was only rumored to exist, the Gumidro Sweetflower. The first step, of course, would be proving its existence. This year's bountiful expeditions returned one specimen of the previously fabled flower, and the first and largest hurdle to the project was complete. Then came the challenge of actually managing to create a new species. Blua Elektraikas, sometimes also simply called Bleukas, make their home in Stormana Zones, where lightning flashes are a near-constant. The undertaking would require the cooperation of someone capable of navigating this difficult cloudscape, and very often, these experts are as hyperactive as the lightning strikes themselves. But, our botanical researchers rose to the challenge, and managed to devise a way for these hyperactive lightning sprites to propagate the flower the team had only dreamed of until now.
Fragments from the specimen were sprinkled liberally over a Stormana Zone where the Bleukas grew, which in itself was an undertaking, as first a suitable Electric Buddy had to be both found and equipped with the duster. Between the wind and lashing rain in the zone, it was uncertain if any of the fragments would reach their destination. But, when the sun shone in the clouds, and our tour guide managed to figure out how to use the capture device we'd given him, a beautiful picture emerged...
Bleuka Gumidros are radiant with electric energy. Like their mother species, the Gumidro Sweetflower, they produce a sweet, gummy-like substance at the center of their flowers. The catch is that the pointed centerpiece acts as a lightning rod, and when it is struck, it turns to glass. However, this is known to slowly reverse over time, so perhaps if plucked and left somewhere safe from lighting, one may get to enjoy a sweet treat instead of a glass sculpture.
