Hinny

The hinny is a giant flower that resembles a bright blue buttercup with petals 10' (3m) in diameter that remain closed in a ball-like shape for most of the year. The petals only open for one day in the first week of spring, and there is a small pool of nectar inside. The nectar can be absorbed into the body, usually – but not always – with beneficial effects. If the flower's petals are opened artificially, it will disintegrate to dust, and the nectar will evaporate. The hinny only grows in the starwood area of the forest of Cormanthor.
