In our world, the helleborine is an orchid. On the Isle of Gramarye, Helleborine gathers the rhizomes of the rare flowers in the autumn and keeps them under her protection until they can flourish again in the warm spring. The symbol within Helleborine's keepsake box is the orchid itself, an emblem of the power of the fragile to withstand the forces of darkness and cold. She sometimes uses the bitter seeds of her flowers in spells and potions, and as a narcotic to cause dark dreams and desires. |
