Bloom of Echoes

The Bloom of Echo­es, or Swo­kurwll, resem­bles both a han­ging orchid and a wee­ping wil­low tree. It pos­s­es­ses expan­si­ve, thick petals and sepals that radia­te from a cen­tral point which con­nect to the root net­work abo­ve. Each petal sprouts many wil­low branch-like ten­drils that trail towards the ground, forming veils of glo­wing strands. It is a litho­phyte, dra­wing nut­ri­ents from its environment.

As with each of the flo­ra the clans of Pan­do­ra use to access Eywa, the­se num­e­rous bran­ches are neu­ral con­nec­tors which Na’vi use to upload their own memo­ries and also com­mu­ne with the memo­ries of their ances­tors. A Swo­kurwll is found in the Cham­ber of Echo­es, a ser­e­ne cave whe­re the Zes­wa come to com­mu­ne and hold cere­mo­nies.
