    @SJHoodlet Hi! When I read The Way of the Wielder, I was captivated by how you described gardens, flowers, etc. A while ago, you also gave some tips for my half-plant species (thank you!). All this rambling to ask: with your love and knowledge of gardening, have you ever wanted/have in your plans to write a world where plants and flowers take more of a central stage, maybe a magic system based around them, your own plant-like species, or something like that?

    Great question, and yes! I haven't solidified anything yet, but I have a few ideas.

    1. A system where the magic is in the plants themselves, and amplified when picked and/or used in some way (medicinal, cooking, etc).

    2. A world where the air is filled with magic, and it infuses the plants as wind blows and rain falls.

    3. A world where flowers affect people's appearances. Hair color, skin texture, things like that.

    It's fun to think about!
