Vormur were a type of wildflower that originated from the Outer Rim planet of Mandalore, making them a species native to that world within the Outer Rim. These blooms had a delightful scent, and it was a frequent practice for Mandalorians to gather them because of their appealing fragrance.
After being revived from being frozen in carbonite for a number of years, Sintas Vel, the former spouse of the current Mand'alor, Boba Fett, remained on Mandalore for a time to recuperate from the aftereffects of hibernation sickness. When he visited, Ghes Orade, the romantic partner of Vel's granddaughter Mirta Gev, presented Vel with a bunch of vormur flowers. Even though she was temporarily experiencing blindness as a result of the carbonite, Vel appreciated the lovely aroma of the vormur flowers.
The first appearance of vormur blooms in the Star Wars universe occurred in the Star Wars: Legacy of the Force novel, Revelation. This novel was penned by author Karen Traviss and released on February 26, 2008.
