Description

The Garden Balsam Flower is a rare flower which grows in the desert, especially in rocky areas. It is used mainly for a School of Magic's test, for which pupils have to fetch the mentor this rare flower.

Role in Twinsen's adventure

The very first thing Twinsen had to do at the beginning of his second adventure, was to heal his Dino-Fly. For that, he joined the School of Magic, where he was promised to obtain the power to treat Dino-Fly by passing one of the tests of wizardry. This test was the Garden Balsam Flower test. In this test, Twinsen had find a Garden Balsam flower, and bring it to the Mentor of the school.

Since this flower only grows on rocky areas, Twinsen needed a car to complete this test. After Zoé fixed their car, Twinsen was able complete this test, by climbing with the car on a nearby mountain, and then jumping to the mountain across, at which he found the flower.

In return for the garden balsam, the Mentor gave Twinsen the Horn of the Blue Triton, a horn which enables one to heal others, or even themselves. With this horn, Twinsen could finally heal Dino-Fly, and then complete the third and last test for the School of Magic- the Dome of the Slate test.

Unconfirmed theories

Since there is only one Garden Balsam Flower in the whole island, it is unknown how other learners at the School of Magic complete the test.

Trivia

After Twinsen received the horn, he came back to the place where he found the flower. By dispensing a heart there, he enabled the flower to re-grow. The mentor of the school then popped up, and, congratulating Twinsen for the idea, awarded him with a couple of clovers.
