Heart-Catchers are intelligent plants that grow fruit that looks like human heads. The heads on each plant appear to have independent minds that talk amongst themselves like a community.

St John's Lily

The St John's Lily is a rather singular and aggressive plant that gains nutrients from wine and small animals, and bears fruit that looks like little heads.

Heart-Catcher Gardens

There is a garden of mature Heart-Catchers near Pan.

Heart-Catchers can become fatally ill in old age. One possible cure is temporarily grafting a healthy visitor's head onto the ailing plant, to revive the other heads.

Real life references

In the Bible, St John the Baptist was killed by beheading which might suggest the name of the plant.
