Koutarou Takao shared a photo. 10/10 near Viea Village

I found this on my kitchen table when I got home. Would anyone be able to help me identify it and possibly tell me how to keep it alive? I usually don't keep plants beyond bouquets that I get when I need to paint any, and I usually dry those once I'm done, so I have no clue how to take care of this thing. And I really don't want to kill it, it feels like it's very important.

((ooc: it's supposed to be a gloxinia, hopefully that's what the image shows? ))

gloxinia
i can get you a pamphlet but
you know what
this isnt a bad resource
theyre kinda nice i think

[wordcarvings]

Oh! That is what it's called?
There are pamphlets about them?
Thank you.
Do you think so? They are pretty.

[parodeity]

it is
and we have some at the shop
flower shop
bc ppl like instructions on how to care for their plants sometimes
weirdly
its like they dont want them to die or smth

[liberal_arts]

They're beautiful, whatever they are.

[wordcarvings]

Most people don’t buy plants to make them die, so..
Would it be alright if I got one for myself? It would be useful to have.

[wordcarvings]

Right? They’re very pretty, so beyond the feeling of importance, it would be a shame to let them die.

[parodeity]

sure
?
if you know where enchanted blossoms is just run by there to snag a pamphlet

[liberal_arts]

Have you figured out the breed, yet? I'm curious to know what they might represent.

[sharplydressed]

wow!
i haven't seen a flower with quite that color of purple before (´꒳`)
does it look that dark in person?

[wordcarvings]

I do, I’ve been a fair amount of times before. Thanks.

[wordcarvings]

I have been told that it is called gloxinia.
Do you know a lot about what flowers represents?

[wordcarvings]

Neither had I. Nearly, but not exactly.
Yes! It's a very beautiful color, in person too.

[parodeity]

np
talk to you later

[liberal_arts]

I research it whenever I use flowers in my artwork, but I'm not exactly a student of the language of flowers, no.

[wordcarvings]

Yes! I might see you when I drop by, too.

[ He might not be able to drop by right this instance, but he'll be there sometime during the day. Action if you want to? ]

[wordcarvings]

I suppose that that's common. I know a few, but not very many. I'm not sure there are studies of the language of flowers as such, but maybe that depends on the country.

[liberal_arts]

Well a cursory, depthless search, seems to associate them with "love at first sight" and "proud spirit", for whatever that's worth.

[meowbel]

Can't you just water it? That is what you're suppose to do with flowers, right?

[wordcarvings]

[ Because he's remembered who originally gave him the plant, he has to bury his hands in his face and calm his heart for some moments. The reply takes a little longer than it usually would. ]

My, that is quite meaningful.

[wordcarvings]

Different flowers need different amount of water, and different amount of sun, so it's actually not as simple as that.

[liberal_arts]

I suppose it ultimately depends on who sent it, to measure the intentions. A colleague, or possibly a lover!

[wordcarvings]

Or a wife.

[liberal_arts]

Huh. I don't recall you mentioning having one before. Though I suppose some people keep their private and professional lives very separate!

[wordcarvings]

No, I didn't. But it has nothing to do with that. She was the other me's wife.

[liberal_arts]

Ah ha. So it's something like that, then. A love letter from across reality and unreality. Now *that* is truly poetic.
