Hemanthus

Hemanthus, the hardy Martian flora introduced in Golden Son, embodies the resilient spirit of the Red planet itself. Initially presented as a simple native species capable of thriving in artificial environments without water, this unassuming plant becomes a powerful symbol of Martian identity and resistance. Throughout the series, hemanthus evolves from mere botanical curiosity to a cultural emblem that represents the enduring strength of those born on Mars, particularly the Reds who have been systematically oppressed by the Gold overlords.
