The magical land of Blöm is divided into administrative districts called floristic provinces. (They are nothing like the floristic provinces of our world.) Most are named after a particular flower, though some are named after animals associated with gardens. Part of what makes Blöm magical is that any person can instantly travel from one floristic province to another by means of a floral portal. You simply have to clap your hands three times while stating the name of the destination. A glowing sigil will immediately appear in front of you. Simply touch the sigil and you will immediately find yourself transported to the center of that floristic province. The process is entirely safe; it will not transport you until the destination location is unoccupied. Once there, you can hire a rickshaw to take you to your precise destination within the floristic province. Interestingly enough, the magic never produces the same sigil twice. Here are some examples of different floristic portals that have been produced by the inhabitants of Blöm to travel around their world.
