[It's much too late in the year for the
little white flowers that bloom overnight in Repose. Spring flowers, or early Summer at the latest, and not local to this part of the world at all, the Star of Bethlehem belongs to the annals of old wives and their tales. "
For those who have troubles, for those who are unhappy, for those who have received bad news, a loss, or an accident, the Snowdrop gives them comfort," the saying goes, but keep the pets and children far, far away.
These little flowers show up in clusters throughout the town. As far as Hookerville, as far as the Carnival, and they do bring comfort, yes, but perhaps too much comfort and comfort to too many. But they're just little flowers. They'll bloom, and they'll spread, and they'll be dead before the week is out. In the meantime, the town is coated in comfort and, if you're one of the affected (and not everyone is), the comfort is very comforting indeed. Can being overly comforted be a bad thing, you ask? Oh, you'd be surprised.]
