I'm creating a campaign that revolves around the players exploring across the elemental planes, and I need some help brainstorming some fantastical plants that can be found in crops or foraged throughout the various environments. The plant's don't necessarily need any actual stat benefits or magical qualities to them, they can also just have some fun quirks to spice up the exploration and local recipes. Some ideas I've had so far includes.
Popper-Corn: Found in the Plane of Fire, when these tall stalks of orange colored corn have enough of the husk shucked off, the corn inside explodes into a confetti of popcorn that has a distinct smoky-pepper taste. Popular with travelers for it's easy to store properties and festive qualities.
Sweet-Sip Crystals: A type of gem that can be found underground in the caves of Earth Plane. These fragile purple crystals have an hollow inside that holds water absorbed from aquifers or cenotes. These crystals can be broken open allowing you to drink the trapped water, which many attest tasting like fruity mineral water.
Hanging Chimes: A type of parasitic vine that grows on the floating islands found throughout the Plane of Air. These vines grow around various trees and climb from the base of the trunk all the way to the branches where it grows these special bamboo-like seed pods that hang from the branches. After a short incubation period, these pods release a cloud of seedlings that are carried through the air, leaving the now hollow pods to bump into each other creating sounds that are akin to bamboo windchimes. Aarakocra monks often seek out trees that bare Hanging Chimes to meditate under.
