| ==History==
| | Asphodelia was introduced to the [[Dreaming City]] by [[Uldren Sov]] following his exploration of the Black Garden alongside [[Jolyon Till]]. They have lost, however, their vivid red color.<ref name="Shuro Patrol II">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/pilgrimage-spine-of-keres-flowers Pilgrimages: Spine of Keres, Flowers]''</ref> The Awoken used to grow them to mark births and deaths, and it is taboo to pick them for any other reason.<ref name="Shuro Patrol II" /><ref name="Shuro Patrol I" /><ref name="Riven">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore:The_Dreaming_City#Riven|The Dreaming City - Riven]]''</ref> They apparently have "a unique power over an Awoken soul".

| ===The Ancient Past===
| |
| It is unknown where Asphodelia first originated; they were first discovered by the [[Awoken]] after the [[Collapse]] when [[Uldren Sov]] and [[Jolyon Till]] entered the [[Black Garden]].<ref name="ATF1">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:The Forsaken Prince|The Forsaken Prince]], [[Lore:The Forsaken Prince#After_the_Heart_.7C_Part_I|After the Heart | Part I]]''</ref> However, ancient records deciphered by [[Eido]] indicate that the plants were also known to the [[Precursors (Species)|precursor species]] which later became the [[The Witness|Witness]]. One individual from this species, known by the identifier "[[HNW047622]]", brought Asphodelia cuttings with them to a barren world that they planned to terraform, with the intent to later harvest the flowers to make a panacea.<ref>'''[[Entelechy]]''', ''[[Entelechy#Scribe Archive XI-2-4A|1-2]]''</ref>
