Aridity – extremely dry

A flower only found in a forecastle

Remember the forecastle?  Well, an aridity is a flower only grown in a forecastle.  It grows in hot shaded parts.  An aridity is large (about 1 cm across and 2 cm tall) and heavy.  It has powder in its petals to give health to a fairy when they need it.

Aridities are yellow with red spots and a blue-gray stem.  Their petals are nice and soft.  Fairies clothes are made out of the petals and their shoes are made from the stem.  When an aridity dies, it is buried and it grows into a dandelion.

The aridity is also a symbol of luck.  A fairy would take their paintings of the flower and place it above their fireplace.  This would give luck to the house. 

This is why we must treat dandelions nice because that “weed” may have saved a fairy!
