Cloth of gold is a rare plant that grows low to the ground, with protective leaves and a six-petaled star-shaped flower of white and gold. The stalks and leaves are boiled down to pulpy masses and crushed to release a strong yellow to gold-colored dye, and the flowers and seeds are crushed and dried as a potent and highly desired spice for cooking.
The seeds must be extracted from the flower-heads, which are dried flat, by tipping the flowers upside-down after drying to shake the seeds loose. Dyes can only be extracted from the stalks within a month of harvesting, after which they are too dry to be useful.
