Airmark's Guide to Planar Vegetables: Material Plane Plants (Immobile)
I have a small confession to make: I have never traveled to the Material Plane before, and I am thus relatively unfamiliar with the plant life native to its many worlds. Fortunately, as Sigil is the center of the Multiverse and has its fair share of planar travelers, I have had the opportunity to speak with a great many travelers from the various Material Plane worlds taking their first steps into the greater Multiverse. Several of these travelers were kind enough to accept my gold to seek out and provide tomes of this sort of wisdom from their homeworlds, and I am glad to refer any curious parties to those volumes.
(Happy April Fool's Day! And thank you for reading Airmark's Guide to Planar Vegetables!)

This project has (nearly) reached its conclusion! I will be taking something of a break between now and the start of April, but there are two entries yet to post. As a treat, I will be posting both on April 1st! Look for them then!
COMING SOON: AIRMARK'S GUIDE TO PLANAR VEGETABLES
I would like to dedicate this Flora to my neighbors here in Sigil, who tolerate my greenhouse with mostly good humor; to my editor Sleeps-Never-Twice, who has sent rescue parties after me three times now since I started writing this volume; and to my partner Wren, who has brought me all manner of stimulant in my pursuit of finishing this volume before our vacation to Mt. Celestia. I thank you all for your love and support; or, in the case of my neighbors, your tolerance and acceptance of my garnish.
What follows is a series of selections from my Guide to Planar Vegetables, for your consideration and potential use. Traveling throughout the Planes, it is clear to most that all manner of beast, spiritual being, and person might help, hinder, or assault the weary traveler; this, then, is my attempt to make readers everywhere aware of the danger the local flora can pose, or to draw the attention of the curious to the more strange and wonderful of the Planescape's plant life. I hope the following entries serve well as warnings and appetizers both, and that your own gardening adventures proceed safely and with an eye towards finding beauty everywhere- even in the Lower Planes.
Eustace Airmark
Date varies by local Calendar
I will be posting one non-animate plant and one animate plant (plant monster) every week, in pairs by plane. This will also serve as the index post for the project, and will be updated as I have new entries. As always, if you find one of my creatures tempting to use, my price is only to tell me: how did it work out? The posts will begin on September 4th. Thanks again to my players, who in moments searching bookshelves for uncommon topics, force me to make things up on the fly that prove fertile ground for my overactive imagination. Airmark's Guide to Planar Vegetables would not exist without them.

Airmark's Guide to Planar Vegetables: Wanderpine Tree
These enormously tall, exceptionally straight-trunked pine trees are often found in places touched by regular natural flame. Valleys untouched by streams, forests troubled by regular fires in Ysgard’s extreme summers, and the borders of Muspelheim are their natural habitats. Planar travelers experienced in nature craft can tell by the presence of these trees that wildfires or other pyroclastic phenomena are regular dangers in the area. The wood, needles, and sap of the wanderpine are all, naturally, highly incendiary once the tree reaches full maturity, allowing their life cycle to propogate neatly after they drop their halfling-sized cones. The cones often either wander off, drawn to campfires or natural conflagrations, or stay near their parent trees while fire giant raids, ysgardian druids, or extreme storms bring them the fire they need to germinate. Renowned for their fast maturation- a cone transforms directly into a juvenile tree in seconds- wanderpine is a fine source of lightweight, soft wood for crafts, although it is unsuitable for uses requiring great durability.

Airmark's Guide to Planar Vegetables: Wanderpine Cone
The cones of the Wanderpine Tree are, perhaps, more recognizable than their parent. They resemble conventional pinecones in shape, appearing as obling, woody creatures with overlapping plates they can open or close. However, they use these plates as their primary form of locomotion, creeping along the earth like a caterpillar.
Dull-witted and lacking the ability to speak, wanderpine cones travel Ysgard far and wide in search of an open flame to spur their growth into adults. They have been known to settle for campfires, but generally seek out great conflagrations such as bonfires, wildfires, and areas bordering fiery Muspelheim or the elemental planes associated with fire.
Via Speak with Plants, I was able to interview one such cone in exchange for delivering it to a prime location to germinate. It displayed the expected preoccupation with flame and its explosive germination, but indicated that it remembered events that occurred in previous incarnations- that is, the tree from which this cone sprang.
This would seem to indicate that wanderpine trees have some sort of ancestral memory or consciousness that passes from cone to tree and back to cone again, and has the potential to prove a great source of information. They are, as expected, highly knowledgeable about incendiary events they've experienced, but this also includes a great many acts of heroism or warfare, even planar incursions from Limbo, and there may yet be a deep untapped pool of knowledge to draw from here.

Airmark's Guide to Planar Vegetables: Heartshare Rose
This thick, vibrant green shrub grows best in a mild climate in partial shade, making the heavily forested first layer of Arborea its ideal growing conditions. While the stems and stalks of the plant are covered in thick, curved thorns, the plant lacks much that would draw in predators save its beautiful, deep red flowers. These flowers, both the main attraction of the shrub and the rarest element of its biology, do not bloom under any circumstances but under the care of a gardener. This is because, due to some unknown mechanism, the heartshare rose only blooms if it is being tended by one who is in love. This makes the shrub’s reproduction solely dependent on acts of care by the ardent, the other reason it flourishes most successfully in Arborea. The ambient emotional climate of unrestrained but well-intentioned feeling is necessary to the heartshare rose’s growth, and the plant rarely flourishes in large quantity elsewhere, although potted plants are often the centerpiece - and passion project - of the dedicated interplanar gardener.

Airmark's Guide to Planar Vegetables: Whitesand Sentinel
Roaming the white sand deserts of Mithardir in Arborea, whitesand sentinels are so named because they claim to be keeping watch for (or against) some unknown phenomenon. This conviction has bought them some measure of acclaim among the layer's inhabitants, most famously among the undead who inhabit Mithardir's tombs and abandoned cities.
Whitesand sentinels are ambulatory cacti growing usually approximately twice the height of the average humanoid; they weigh more than four men put together. Their skin is usually a dark brown or greyish tone with lighter green appearing after they have received a good soaking. They do not adhere rigidly to a humanoid body plan, and often have more than two legs or arms, although two always seem to be primary and the rest secondary.
Like much of the celestial life found in Mithardir (such as the unrelated guiding beetle), the sentinels are willing to help those who find themselves lost in the vast desert, affording them drinks from their own bodies if no other water can be found and curing sunstroke and illness with a touch of their spiny hands. In extreme cases, they have been known to petrify the dying with their breath, assured that they can return them to their previous state when circumstances are more friendly to life.
They extend this courtesy to the undead, and are most often found traveling other planes when they are seeking to conclude the business of a wayward spirit. When interviewed about the subject, they claim it is related to the eternal watch they keep over the desert, although the individual I interviewed was vague on the subject. Whether this is an attempt to protect the knowledge or out of lack thereof, I cannot say.

Airmark's Guide to Planar Vegetables: Beastborne Fern
This mid-height fern grows abundantly on all three layers of the Beastlands, distinctive only in its omnipresence and tolerance of a wide array of temperatures, light conditions, and watering. Unlike many ferns, this plant’s spores are covered in miniscule hooks designed to catch on fur, feathers, and scales rather than becoming airborne. The beastborne fern is thus only truly capable of thriving (and dominating forest understory) in environments with dense animal populations, as the wildlife spread the fern all over in their travels. Few places in the multiverse can support large populations of this plant like its native Beastlands, but the fern can also be found growing in some of the wilder reaches of Ysgard and Arborea, as well as the Feywild. Highly nutritious, fast-growing, and omnipresent, this fern is a common and important food for native herbivores, and even for the plane’s few humanoid populations.

Airmark's Guide to Planar Vegetables: Krigalan Praying Orchid
Native to the forever-sunlit forests and savannahs of Krigala, the Krigalan Praying Orchid is a fascinating case of animal mimicry in plants. While some flowers are shaped like pollinating insects to draw in unwitting pollinators in turn, the praying orchid is, in fact, a plant exhibiting predator mimicry to dissuade herbivores.
Shaped like a massive praying mantis in a rich emerald or jade hue, with brightly-colored pink and purple mottled flowers kept sheltered safe beneath large leafy "wing cases", the praying orchid's mimicry is impeccable- but one must wonder what it intended to dissuade by appearance, as this plant is also more than capable of defending itself by force. Gifted at harnessing Krigala's eternal sunshine both for mobility and offense, the praying orchid's only predators are the ignorant or the challenge-intent.
Despite resembling a predatory insect, the praying orchid is content to collect its nutrients from sun, water, and soil like most plants. It mostly makes use of its sunlit jaunt ability to teleport to and from areas with better soil nutrition, lighting conditions, or pollinator access.
For those who go to the beastlands to hunt, however, there are few greater choices for prey. The orchid is both rare and beautiful if collected and pressed, and its petals have euphoric effects that make it highly sought-after; however, between razor-edged 'forelimb' leaves and the ability to weaponize sunlight both at close and long range, would-be hunters have much to overcome, and the utmost levels of caution are both warranted and recommended.

Airmark's Guide to Planar Vegetables: Eronian Lotus
Native to eronia’s many mountain streams and waterways, the eronian lotus is known for its golden petals clustered around a vibrant magenta center. Growing contentedly in any sheltered area of the plane’s waterways and exuding a scent many describe as “the smell of home,” the eronian lotus is one of the Blessed Fields’ most dangerous flora. The flower of the lotus are edible and highly nutritious, particularly for those currently pregnant, but eating them also intensifies the plane’s overwhelming joy in the consumer. Those who eat the flower find that they have a harder time resisting the plane’s natural and overpowering sense of contentment and happiness, and compared to usual sufferers become far more quickly affected by the desire to return to Elysium. Speak with Plants has revealed the lotus is aware of and encourages this tendency, but does not seem to realize that this could be undesirable in inhabitants of other planes.

Airmark's Guide to Planar Vegetables: Pollen Cat
One of the more unusual specimens found throughout the planes is the pollen cat, a creature comprised solely of a thick soup of pale greenish fluff compacted into the form of an enormous hunting cat. Diurnal by nature and fairly docile even among residents of the Blessed Fields, pollen cats are nightmares to those with severe allergies to either pollen or cats, as they mysteriously set both off.
Typically found stalking petitioners to playfully pounce upon them and enforce heartwarming snuggles or much-needed rest, pollen cats are more than capable of defending themselves when needed. Despite not needing to eat, as they gain sustenance from rain and sun like most plants, they are equipped with sharp claws and long teeth like real predatory cats.
These natural weapons' purpose becomes apparent when the forces of the Heavens mass for combat, or fight defensive wars against intruding interests from the Lower Planes. Pollen cats are consummate skirmishers, attacking in a flurry of claws and bites before dissolving their form into a cloud of tiny particles, and retreating to set up another pounce. Given time, they will hunt down intruders one by one, picking them off as they travel through the cat's hunting grounds.
Pollen cats bulk up in spring before bursting and separating into two full-grown adult specimens, which are of low density for some time until they are able to replenish their forms with water and sun. When spoken to with Speak with Plants, they are straightforward creatures with a bit of a sense of humor, and make good traveling company.
