Name meaning

"Bara" (Japanese) refers to roses. "Bryony" (English) is the common name of the Bryonia genus. "Brasénie" refers to the Brasenia genus, or the water-shield. (While this does not reference a nymph like Celosia and Aliana's French names, the Brasenia genus is part of the order Nymphaeales.) "Begonia" (Spanish and German) refers to the Begonia genus. "Bromelia" (Italian) refers to the Bromelia genus.

Interestingly, all of the plants above can develop red flowers or berries, matching both the Team Flare color scheme and the complementary color for green in painting. Arpha (talk) 21:07, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
