{{lifeform ~~{{Flora & Fauna~~ \|type={{cat tag\|Plants\|Plant}} ~~\|native=Purelake~~ \|image=VisForVinebud.png \|world=Roshar \|universe=[[Cosmere]] \|books=[[The Stormlight Archive]] }} '''Vinebud''' is a type of [[rockbud]] that can be found in many regions of [[Roshar]].{{ref\|name=dA}} '''Vinebud''' was a plant native to many of the lands on [[Roshar]]. During a [[highstorm]] the plant will retract its cone-like flowers back into its vestigial shell.{{file ref\|rockbuds.jpg\|Rockbuds page\|post= from [[Shallan's portfolio]]}} ==~~Notes~~Description== {{for\|/Gallery\|more images}} <references />▼ Vinebud plants have an elastic, hollow stem. The stem normally has a cylindrical shape, but it can expand outward to accommodate the plant's retractable leaves, vine-like tendrils, and cone-like flowers.{{file ref\|rockbuds.jpg\|Rockbuds page\|post= from [[Shallan's sketchbook]]}}{{book ref\|sa1\|37}} The plant retracts to protect itself from [[highstorm]]s or nearby motion, and the stem takes on a bubble-like appearance when it stretches to accommodate the leaves and tendrils.{{file ref\|rockbuds.jpg\|Rockbuds page\|post= from [[Shallan's sketchbook]]}} Unlike common rockbuds, the vinebud appears to permanently root itself to the ground to avoid being blown around by the storms.{{file ref\|rockbuds.jpg\|Rockbuds page\|post= from [[Shallan's sketchbook]]}} ~~{{stub}}~~ The leaves and tendrils of the vinebud are longer and more delicate than those of the common rockbud.{{file ref\|rockbuds.jpg\|Rockbuds page\|post= from [[Shallan's sketchbook]]}} The tendrils in particular extend far out of the plant and wave in the wind.{{book ref\|sa3\|115}} [[Shallan Davar]] speculated that vinebud is related to [[fingermoss]], a smaller plant with a similar appearance.{{file ref\|rockbuds.jpg\|Rockbuds page\|post= from [[Shallan's sketchbook]]}}{{ref\|name=dA}} Gardeners on Roshar have cultivated a variety of vinebud that does not retract back into its stem, although it retains a vestigial shell. It is used as a houseplant.{{book ref\|sa1\|37}} == Trivia == *The design for vinebuds was based on the sea anemone.{{ref\|name=dA}} == Notes == ▲<references /> {{url ref\|name=dA \|url=http://inkthinker.deviantart.com/art/The-Way-of-Kings-Rockbuds-181132024 \|text=Inkthinker's commentary \|site=Deviant Art \|date=2010-05 }} </references> {{complete\|[[User:Big Smooth\|Big Smooth]] ([[User talk:Big Smooth\|talk]]) 18:54, 13 February 2020 (UTC)}} {{Stormlight}}
