Arallutes, a type of flower, originated on Alderaan. These violet, trumpet-shaped blossoms with a strong odor were an uncommon type of wild plant found on the planet's open grasslands. Upon their death, the petals would close, capturing the seeds inside, which were subsequently utilized as rattles for infants. Nevertheless, following the cataclysm of Alderaan, they acquired a renewed importance for those who survived. Local legends stated that the discovery of one of these flowers growing in a woman's garden foretold that she was soon to become pregnant. Consequently, after a wedding ceremony, family members of the newly married couple would secretly plant these flowers in their garden during the night; being discovered while planting them was thought to bring bad luck.
