Colossal Flower

There is a colossal flower growing atop a mountain of bones. As its color-shifting petals pulsate, you sense there is a Powerful Cluster of Pollen in the center but the undulating petals are razor sharp and unpredictable. You could grab some of the golden nectar, but reaching the prize in the center is so tempting...
