The yearly Queen's Bloom Festival, a festival held on the planet Reena, served as a time for both residents and visitors to commemorate the conclusion of the planet's heavy rainfall period, which occurred annually. The event was inspired by the luminescence of bioluminescent photoproteins deposited on pollen by the rains; this glow became noticeable when the flowers of many plants all over the planet opened.
"The Queen's Bloom," a short story penned by Zoraida Córdova, featured the Queen's Bloom Festival. This story was included in the 2023 young-adult anthology The High Republic: Tales of Light and Life, which was published as a component of the Star Wars: The High Republic multi-platform initiative.
