Dark green dragons, once they mature, appear to become an entirely different species. However, this isn’t true. Rather, they burrow underground and get nutrients from their vines. These vines are sometimes referred to as Dragon Grass. These dragons are very violent, and will use their vines to capture, kill, and eat anything that moves, as well as nearby plants. Luckily, their range is limited and they cannot use magic. Dark green dragons tend to be easy to spot since they usually kill all plants around them and thus are usually surrounded by a large clearing.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Cardioflora feels the field of botanical fiction is given a bad name by QzA4z's novels. He writes far too much, in her opinion, about the act of pollination, and because his stories are popular many assume everything in the genre is as adult-oriented. Cardioflora writes novels about plants that are family-friendly. Her stories include the harrowing saga of the pine tree on the crumbling cliff, desperately trying to stabilise the soil with its roots so it wouldn't fall into the chasm below; a high-speed race between two tumbleweeds; and the dark tale of war with various marsh plants pitted against the invasive reed canary grass. She even has a love story of her own about the woes of an early-blooming plum tree and a late-blooming prune, though she never writes anything she wouldn't share with a wyrmling. Her books are quite popular. Many readers now make a distinction between "botanical fiction" and "botanical romance". Cardioflora feels she is making progress to improve her genre.
