Diddyfunkle is a flowering herbaceous plant with large, star-shaped heads and a fringe of hair-like tendrils called diddyfunklites. Found in tropical areas, Diddyfunkle nectar is used in cooking or as a sedative.

Description

A flowering herbaceous plant which resembles the passion flower, for its open star-shaped heads. The petals open wide and are typically a very pale green, or white, with an interior fringe of rich purple hair-like tendrils dubbed ‘diddyfunklites.’ From under these flowers grow small globe-like pods, which are an attractive orange colour. The waxy leaves are ovoid with a pointed tip and green in colour. Diddyfunkle rarely reaches over a two feet in height.

Habitat and distribution

Diddyfunkle grows well in tropical and subtropical jungles, and is sometimes found upon plains when there is adequate rainfall.

Harvesting

The pods are the fruit of the plant and can be picked safely, as long as the diddfunklites of the flower are avoided.

Cultivation

Farming diddyfunkle requires warm, moist conditions and light to shady sun exposure. Diddyfunkle spreads once per three OOC days

Uses

If the fruit is not prepared correctly, then it produces strong hallucinogenic effects and can lead to poisoning. This is best avoided by pressing the fruit for the nectar-like juice inside, then removing the pod by hand. Heating and straining the juice will further remove the chance for poisoning and adverse effects. Diddyfunklites contain hundreds of microscopic hairs, which embed themselves into the skin upon contact. This leads to redness and itching in the affected area.

Medicinal

If prepared correctly, the thick juice has a pleasant fruity citrus flavour, and may be used in cooking when one requires tartness. It may also be infused into a tea to calm and clear the mind, and is sometimes used to treat migraines and even nightmares. In concentrated doses diddyfunkle can be used to sedate a patient into unconsciousness.

Culinary

To avoid Diddyfunkle's poisonous effects, the nectar should be pressed from the fruit, then strained. Prepared correctly, it has a citrus flavor and provides a tart taste in cooking. When infused into a tea, it can also calm and clear the mind, relieving migraines and nightmares.
