Konijiphyta live in dry and rocky deserts in remote areas of the world. In their typical form they can be hard to tell apart from the quartz pebbles they live among – until the light hits them! Then they scatter rainbows all around them!
Because of the water they have stored within them to adapt to desert conditions, their body acts like a raindrop – breaking the light into all of it’s colors. The eyes on their surface are actually remnants of an older time and not able to see anymore – they always keep them closed. Their true eyes are deep in their bodies and can analyze the various spectra that come to them – which allows them to tell how much moisture is in the air and what kind of gems are in the rocks around them. Sometimes they can even predict how soon rain will come!
If they want to move (which is rarely) they can pull their roots into themselves and roll like a ball.
When it is exposed to any sort of nectar – it thinks there might be other flowers around and enters it’s blossoming form! In this form it changes it’s type and puts out a large flower. The colors of the flower are taken from the colors it has seen so far in it’s life. Those who smell the honey-like scent of the flower can get glimpses of the rainbows it’s eyes have seen recently and understand what they mean.
When in it’s blossoming form, the Konijiphyta is no longer able to roll freely, so it turns two of it’s roots into small legs. These cannot necessarily move far, but can be quite fast in short distances.
Most of them live elsewhere, but there are some that live on the Alolan Islands on bare slopes of volcanoes or in rocky patches!
