Very happy with how this page turned out! Evette being absorbed by the Yew tree was tricky, but I was determined! Evette is named for the Yew tree after all (the more common spelling being "Yvette" and is often associated with the Yew tree). The symbolism is deeply ingrained into the character, the Yew tree often representing life and death, as well as rebirth, resilience, and protection.

Amaryllis looks like a wilting rose monster here 🥀. Given that it symbolizes a lot of what her relationship with Abeille had declined to, seems appropriate.

That’s a yew tree?? I wouldn’t have guessed if I wasn’t told, it looks nothing like the yews I know! My town has literally hundreds all over, but they all look like giant bushes (sometimes 3-4 meters tall)! But I guess maybe that’s due to town’s gardening services’ choices

Yeah, it’s kinda become something much more monstrous in these later pages. The page where it first appeared at the beginning of the chapter, I reference some images of Yew trees and it looks closer. PAGE REF: https://lovenotfound.com/comic/love-not-found-ch24-p02/

I want to try a Yew berry some day.

Not all forageable parts of a wilderness plant are edible raw or to ingest even. Make sure you read up on what’s safe to eat or to cook it before making a meal or snack. Also watch out for lookalike species; similar edible plants can have poisonous counterparts.

You’re probably thinking of the Taxaceae Yew Bushes like English, Japanese, Pacific, etc. They are like evergreen shrubs with rounded soft needles and red berries. Yew Trees are part of that plant family too; just looked it up and was surprised about there being a tree version of them.

Here is a section about Yew trees, and other LNF flora in an LNF fan wiki https://lovenotfound-fans.fandom.com/wiki/Flora#Yew It’s for fans to edit.

Abeilles dreams certainly say some interesting things about how she views Amaryllis. First a snake and now a thorny flower creature, both restraining her and trying to make her lose the things that bring her light. From her own way of grieving Evette, to her plans of putting down roots and building a future on Monotropa.

Sympathetic “Ouch” for that last sequence. I managed to drive into some thorns while mowing the yard the other day and I’m still hurting from all the puncture wounds. And that was while I was wearing jeans and a denim shirt. The neighbors would complain if I mowed in my undies.

O Rose, thou art sick.

Is Amaryllis coming out of an amaryllis flower? I know they don’t have thorns but it kind of looks like one. That said, it’s great symbolism is she is. This normally harmless flower being turned into something destructive is pretty much how Abeille sees her.

For such a toxic lady, her namesake (Amyrillis) is known as “Love, hope, achievement”
I wonder if she’s transformed to a narcissus over her life HA.
Either way, lady has some serious ignorance to the damage she’s causing.

It is confusing for me because there are Amaryllis belladona and Hippeastrum correiense which are sold as Amaryllis.
A gardening for kids web page (and reader Haney), says that Amaryllis means “bitter” (which plant). “The language of flowers” gives meanings: Pride. Timidity. Splendid beauty.
It’s appropriate that Amaryllis belladona is sold as “naked ladies”, as Amaryllis broadcasts her personal thoughts wherever she goes.
Etymology of Amaryllis says that it is a common name for a shepherdess or country girl, meaning to “sparkle, twinkle, glance”, as might the eye(according to https://www.etymonline.com/word/amaryllis).

She’s coming off more now like someone’s who wants to stay a sparkling gem in the spotlight no matter and with her golden-child foil now gone, she’s trying to use Abeille to fill the role that Amaryllis once made Evette filled. Making herself “look” the greatest among everyone is what seems to only matter to Amaryllis.
