Name: Seefak Category: Aquatic plants Edible: Leaves Size: Generally 3ft or more in height, 30-40 cm in width. Frequency: Common Description: http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a218/Kitty_on_strike/seefak.jpgSeefak Reference</a> A very delicate looking plant that sways gently on the rocky reefs of the ocean. It thrives worldwide in its watery habitat and provides a home for small fish to escape predators. It is a mix of light blues, purples and aquas and the leaves are long and smooth in appearance. They have been selectively bred in labs to produce a smaller domestic version for fish tanks as it filters the water while it produces oxygen in the large bubble at the end of each root. When a single leaf is plucked from the plant it begins to take on a darker blue colour and the edges begin to turn a semi-transparent aqua. These single fronds are then dried onshore and are a delicious accompanment to raw or boiled fish. The Seefak can be cut into fine strips and weaved together to make a small edible circular bag which is filled with a variety of flavoured rices, spiced meats and fruits. These are popular appetizers and are no bigger than an eyeball. The palm-sized bubbles at the bottom of the frond can be filled with a savoury fish paste and then fried for a seasoned sesame like flavour. The odor as it fries is mouth-watering, though because of the delicate nature of this bubble it is hard to master presentation; If fried too quickly the contents can bubble and burst the casing causing the contents to ooze out or expole in the oil. The only hole in the bubble is the small one poked into it to pipe the fish paste. As the fish paste fries, the mixture solidfies slightly stopping it from oozing out and making a general mess. Biomes: Ocean Flora II: Name: Trulear Category: Aquatic plants Edible: No Size: About 50 to 60cm high and 15 to 25 cm wide. Frequency: Uncommon Description: http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a218/Kitty_on_strike/trulear.jpgTrulear reference</a> A pretty and slender looking aquatic flower with a long neck and an expanded bulb like base. Dark grey roots cling onto rock surfaces where it is found - It cannot take hold in the sandy ocean bottom due to the fineness of its roots - And allow it to stay affixed even in strong underwater currents. It is known to be a carnivorous plant that lures small to medium sized fish in its grasp with its unusal colours and worm-like lures. The flower itself is mainly pink with dashes of peach throughout though it can tint towards light yellow sometimes. The ends are flexible and move freely and enticingly like worms for hungry prey. Passing fish will swim towards the plant and bite one of these pink, worm-like lures. The fish is then glued to the plant and unable to escape. the flower folds in on itself once it lands a 'bite' further trapping the fish. Corrosive acid breaks the fish down and it dies a slow painful death, only when the fish has been "digested" will the flower open once more and start its cycle over again. Biomes: Ocean
Wow! Having a creative spurt there Mori? ^^ AWESOME. Definately some interesting aquatic flora! Made my mouth water just thinking about the first one and the succulent ways of cooking them~ Yum~ The second one is carnivorous? That is SWEET. lol. Great work!
I agree with you CV, the first plant made me a bit hungry for fish as well. I am impressed by your creativity.
