This article is a work in progress
Tungl syrin, also known as the Lunar lilac, thrives along rocky river banks and the shores of Lake Kyrrmane. This exquisite flower begins its journey underwater before resurfacing in a celestial spectacle. Its petals, ranging from pale-violet to white-blue, with a brilliantly fine pearlescent sparkle, converge to delicate points, while their undersides, modestly adorned in dull green, reveal their true colors only under the moon's glow.
When night descends and the moon graces the sky, the Tungl syrin emerges from its watery slumber, captivating all with its nocturnal dance. Its bulbous root, a coveted treasure, offers a comforting warmth and is cherished as a spice, elevating dishes to culinary marvels. Though hidden within the borders of rocky banks and tranquil waters, this flower remains a delicacy of the Oksmun.

I'm curious if that beautiful dye also glows in moonlight. The taste and properties of this plant sound very appealing!
The plant itself, nor the dye glow as such, but the flower does open under moonlight as it's a nocturnal bloomer. The petals and dye have a natural and incredibly fine pearlescent shimmer to them though and that, if light was shone on it, would sparkle at night for sure!
