Some Miranda Blossom details in Elden Ring

Example of using Rowa Fruit Bushes to read the environment, at a location North of Waypoint Ruins. This is one of the classic cases of 2 Rowa Bushes close together.

From the south bush there is nothing significant that I know of - shown below for point of comparison.

But standing at the north bush there are two subtle changes in the environment:

1) The anthers of a Miranda Blossom can be seen right at the base of the trunk of the Weeping Peninsula Minor Erdtree.

2) One of those poles with crucified victim and a seeking soldier at its base are revealed from behind the rock to the west.

This is by far not the only case where Rowa Fruit Bushes seem to be placed in a way that subtly highlights elements of the environment. But most Rowa Bush spots are hard to present in a text post so I mostly have them shelved for now. See other post with an area thoroughly examined for observations from mushroom vantage points.

I would rather highlight a point of parallel between this Miranda Flower in Limgrave and one in the Weeping Peninsula. In Limgrave the Miranda Flower is outside the access point for Waypoint Ruins where Sellen can be encountered as a vendor (and also a point of interest is that Sellen is standing just to the south of the square-shaped boundary where spirit summoning can be done on the surface).

In the Weeping Peninsula Tombsward Cave with the Miranda Blossom boss at its end runs underneath Witchbane Ruins where Sellen is kept as a prisoner, and in a poison swamp that mirrors the one in the cave system below. In fact, from examining the environment the start of the underground poison stream begins directly under the room where Sellen is kept. It's almost as if the stalactites are drip dripping the poison from the surface swamp into the underground, and the underground stream drains to the west towards the Miranda Blossom chamber.

Also I think that the name on the Wiki is wrong/outdated? It says "Miranda the Blighted Bloom" but the nameplate here just says "Miranda Blossom" in the present version. There are some nice pink flowers in this room that are either uncommon or not found anywhere else:

To think one step further, this Miranda Blossom drops the Viridian Amber Talisman, which has the motif with dual meaning of crossed roots - the foundation of a growing plant - and worked in the shape of a skull with mouth stitched shut - an recurring motif of secrecy.
