Bald Flower

Bald Flower
The Bald Flower, or Sporobolus Ophioglossoides, is a rather common species of flower, which can be found in the Bridgedale Woods.

General Information
The Bald Flower generally stands somewhere between 6 and 12 inches off the ground at its tallest point. Its gynoecium and androecium are usually a yellow or orange color, while its stem is a bright green and almost always leafless. While confrontation regarding whether or not this anomaly of a flower should even be considered a flower due to its lack of petals once ensued, it was discovered that this so-called “bald” flower was not in fact bald, but had nearly microscopic petals surrounding its edges. 

Name Origin
The Bald Flower receives its name from having a seemingly bare, or “bald,” stem and bloom.

Further Information
The Bald Flower has the smallest petals of any other known flower, and is one of few flowers with absolutely no trace of a sepal.

The Bald Flower is believed to bloom in spring, near mid-May, but due to its nearly invisible petals, it is difficult to know for certain.

Their root system is also rather bare, being a single taproot off of which little to no root hairs branch.

These flowers are very durable and adaptable, as well as nearly scentless, resulting in being common household or, even more commonly, classroom plants.
