  Dryope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology, Dryope was the daughter of Dryops or of Eurytus (and hence half-sister to Iole).
Dryope had been accustomed to play with the nymphs of the woods.
In Ovid's version of the story, Dryope was wandering by a lake, suckling her baby Amphissus, when she saw the bright red flowers of the lotus tree, formerly the nymph Lotis who, when fleeing from Priapus, had been changed into a tree.

That said what I was trying to show was that Dryope's metamorphosis was something that occurred from the starting point of her change's "infection." When you pick up a lotus from the water you don't pick it like you would pick a crocus or a rose.
Thus if Dryope's change was a product of an infection which resulted from her picking the flower the first parts to go would be the fingers she used to pick the blossom up with.
I liked the idea though of having her feet already rooted in the ground by the time Dryope noticed the change though just to impress the fact that this is going to be a complete change.
