Delphiniue
(dolphin), referring to the shape of the flower's nectar gland, which resembles a dolphin's nose. Symbolism:
Names were not mere sounds in Narriport. Names were knots in the world — the places where promises tied themselves to the human bone. To give one’s name away is to trade a portion of memory, to forget oneself into another life. Delphiniue felt the edges of her past blur like lines washed by rain: her childhood path to the quay, the exact cadence of her mother’s whistle. The stranger’s fingers brushed her skin and left a hollow shaped like an absence. He spoke her name once, and in that moment she became partly unknown to herself. delphiniue
