Funnel flower/Legends

Category: Plants Planet of Origin: Tatooine

this plant, native to Tatooine, has a cone of large petals that grows from a long, J-shaped stem. The stem itself grows within a crack or crevice in the rocks. The plant pulls hot air in through the upper part of the stem, and then moves it down into the part hidden in the crevice. There, moisture condenses out of the air, and is hoarded by the plant in the crook of the stem.
