#1937 - Cuphea ignea - Cigar Plant

Photo by @purrdence at Hobbiton, NZ. Probably deliberately planted, but given how many ornamentals escaped into the countryside in New Zealand, who can say. The bumblebee is a freebie.

Cuphea comes from the Greek word kyphos which means curved or humped - possibly a reference to the shape of the seeds. ignea - Latin for "fiery" - refers to the resemblance to lit cigars.

A small tropical shrub from the family Lythraceae, native to Mexico and the West Indies, with small, tubular, bright red to orange flowers. Each flower is tipped with a thin white rim and two small purple-black petals. The flowers are attractive to hummingbird, butterflies, and apparently bumblebees, as well as being the reason it’s grown as an ornamental in warmer countries worldwide.

Finally finished with the Åse standee. The flower in the back is suposed to be Purple loosetrife.

Purple loosetrifes (Lythrum salicaria) are a pink flower that is part of the Lythraceae family. They bloom in autumn and tend to grow near water. They're called Kattehale in Norwegian witch translates to Cattail not to be confused with the American Cattail which I don’t think grow anywhere in Norway. They are one of the many plants that grow around the Mjøsa lake. I chose this flower to represent Ace mostly because of it’s location and name. As far as I can tell it doesn't have any specific meaning but the name lythrum might be derived from the Greek word for blood. Red is Ace’s primary color and in general I associate Ace with blood more specifically the blood that gathers under your nails when scratching someone. (its weirdly specific I know but for some reason thats the strongest visual representation I’ve imagined for Ace for the longest time idk) loosetrife also contains the word strife which I also feel ties into Ace and her story allot.

I went for something more stylized for the flowers. I'm not good at painting realism so I think this is the best I can do lol.
