Edosian orchid

Edosian Orchids are a flowering species of plant native to Cardassia, though they do not grow widely on Cardassia since climate change made the planet a much drier place and as such are quite a speciality.

The groundskeeper of Cardassia Cities Tarlak Sector in the mid 24th century Tolan had a particular passion for Edosian Orchids and populated much of the sector with them. He passed on his skills for growing the orchids to his son Elim Garak who went on to plant them in the various residences he kept on Cardassia. Elim also used this ability to grow them in an Obsidian Order operation on Romulus; when the Orchids are pollinated by White Star of Night they create a quite deadly bloom.
