Gossybloom
The Gossybloom is connected to the ground by a very thick, dark green stem which twists as it grows upwards and is topped by a few triangular leaves and a huge, bulbous flower that is ovoid in shape and divided into distinct lobes, somewhat resembling the segmentation seen in the clementine fruit.
Each lobe has 1-2 openings from which protrude long, waving tendrils that are orange at the base, but progressively get more whitish towards the tip. These tendrils bend upwards and inwards towards the center of the plant which is composed of a hole surrounded by short branches resembling stamen.
The flower appears to produce a large amount of dust from its bulbous flower. It is unknown what this dust is comprised of, though they may function like spores or pollen. This dust is edible, provided properly prepared, and has a soft texture making it an excellent substitute for regular cotton. (Yes, you could technically eat a shirt, provided any colorings are also edible.)
