Star Skipper. ✨

Digital illustration of a lily of the valley against a hazy green, yellow, and pinkish orange background, but its flowers are all Mr. Saturns from the 1994 video game Earthbound / Mother 2. Each Mr. Saturn is a round whitish tan little creature with a large round nose and little round eyebrows. They each have a green stem on the top of their heads that attaches them to the plant instead of their usual black antenna, and little red leaves swirl around the stems and tie into little red bows. The lowest Mr Saturn has detached from the rest of the plant fully formed and is jumping down to a nearby leaf.
