The Known History of The Amber Lily
Before the Doom of Draca Isla Pyramis, the large island continent located southwest of the western continent, was home to a rich diversity of floral and plant life. Amber lilies (The Blood Flower) were among the most abundant.
The lily has eight thick curved petal-like segments ranging in warm colors of a variety of reds. The ends of the petals fade into an orange hue and would brighten throughout its growth. The long tips within the petals have a golden, yellow hue that would sparkle in the sunlight during the day. At night these lilies glow bioluminescent when they reach maturity.
Many Naga's and Nagi's use the flower for healing purposes. One popular method is making herbal tea. By placing a lily blossom at the bottom of the cup or pitcher, they pour boiling fresh spring water over the lily in the cup and let it set for many minutes until warm enough to drink. They lily was also used to treat wounds and burns by making pastes from the bulbs and petals with other mixtures. Sometimes even smelling its blood orange, sandalwood aroma can improve respiratory illnesses and relax the body.
Naga's and Nagi's along with the Dragon's explored outside of their home, making new ones in all different parts of the world. Royal Naga/Nagi nesti's (families) as well ventured out at sea to explore, including that of the Agskaga nesti. Sailing across the Lapis Sea, they brought along with them seeds of the amber lily, in hopes to grow them elsewhere. They would find the perfect place for them to thrive located between two large continents, The Central Isles. There the soil and climate conditions would allow for them to grow.
The once home to the flourishing lilies would fall along with the rest of the island continent and those that lived there. A large catastrophic event would flood and fill the land with lava from the surrounding volcanoes. This made the amber lilies sacred to that of the Agskaga's. It would soon be the royals new house symbol.

After The Blood War, the amber lilies were introduced to the public. The sacred lilies were traded to kingdoms, cities, and villages in exchange for gold, silver, jewels/crystals, and other goods. This quickly grew the royal nesti into a respected, rich house along the isles. It had piqued curiosity among healers, who specialized in healing practices and potions. By studying the Blood Flower, they discovered plenty of other useful healing properties. Only a selected loyal few were allowed upon the royal's vast fields to learn about the lilies and to buy/trade directly from the Agskaga's. Their seeds, however, would never find its way to the continent of Glarium or to the western continent.
After a tragic demise of the death of the king and queen, private healers were forbidden to visit the fields. Trading still continued but only among royal allies.

Japanese lily
Color is also important when conveying meaning with the lily (yuri). For example, white lilies represent purity, orange lilies show revenge or hatred, and a red spider lily (manjushage) symbolizes a final goodbye.
While a red rose…
Currently, the symbolism of the rose color is universal: a white rose is spiritual love, red is passion, yellow is recognition and admiration; red and white roses combined in one bouquet mean harmonious love, and a blue rose is an achievement of the impossible.
Now, take the meanings of these flowers with you.
