Iceberg Lily

Iceberg Lily
The Iceberg Lily, or Helianthus Augusta, is an uncommon flower present in Bridgedale Woods.

General Information
An Iceberg Lily usually stands about 8 inches off the ground and has a few large leaves at its base. One bloom grows on each stem, which is covered in thin, white, fibrous hairs used to attract sunlight.

Name Origin
The Iceberg Lily received its name due to its deceptively small appearance. While the portion of the Iceberg Lily that is above ground is rather miniscule, its root system is enormous, much like how the “tip of the iceberg” portrays a small portion of a mostly underwater, massive glacier.

Further Information
The Iceberg Lily can grow in a variety of colors, including red, orange, yellow, blue, purple, pink, and white, the most common of which is red.

The root systems of Iceberg Lilies have been recorded to be nearly the size of those of dogwood trees. While the flowers are pleasant in appearance, as well as fragrance, it poses as a massive inconvenience during landscaping or terraforming, particularly because these flowers often grow in clusters, so their gargantuan root systems are prone to entanglement.

Iceberg Lilies are also regenerative to a degree, so, if a large enough portion of the root is not removed, there is a slim chance that a new Iceberg Lily will begin to sprout.

The consumption of an Iceberg Lily is perfectly harmless, but not nutritionally beneficial.
