Flowers


 * This article is about the wieldable flowers. For flowers from the Trouble Brewing activity, see Red flowers (Trouble Brewing) or Blue flowers (Trouble Brewing).



Flowers are harvested after planting mithril seeds, which are obtained after completing the Waterfall Quest and can also be bought in the Legends' Guild. Flowers grow in many assorted colours with black and white being the rarest and the primary colours being the most common. When planting the mithril seeds, players have an option to either pick the flowers to obtain the item, or to let them grow. Flowers that are left to grow will stay on the ground temporarily, for around five minutes.

A bunch of flowers with the primary colour combinations (red, yellow, blue) can be bought from the Flower Girl on Miscellania for 15 coins each.

The Trollweiss is a flower obtained during Troll Romance and is a light blue colour. The Trollweiss gives the same bonuses as the other flowers and may be wielded as well.

Flowers can be wielded in the Weapon Slot, and are classified as a fun weapon in the Duel Arena because it gives the wielding player negative Strength and Attack bonuses.

Flowers are seen as a sign of wealth, as most players wear very expensive items usually wield them. They can be seen in the hands of players with partyhats and unusual expensive items such as Top hats or Powdered Wigs.

Types of flowers

 * Red, blue, yellow, orange, purple and multicoloured flowers are used in Summoning as a tertiary ingredient for infusing Praying mantis pouches. Due to a recent update the prices are currently unstable. Red costs coins, blue costs  coins and multicoloured costs  each.
 * Historically, growing flowers was a good way to make profit. However the prices of flowers dropped significantly after the advent of the Grand Exchange. Before the Grand Exchange was introduced, black and white flowers were sold for around 100,000 coins each.

Flower percentages
Based on a sample of 1880 mithril seeds, the following chart is presented.

Moneymaking
Mithril seeds and Flowers are often used for moneymaking, because mithril seeds cost only 300-400 gp each, but every flower has a worth of 600-700gp each, which gives you a good profit, especially if you get a black or white flower.

Trivia
Flowers
 * Romeo, the protagonist in the Romeo & Juliet quest, wielded flowers (pastel) until the quest was removed.
 * Players can also receive flowers from selecting the "Gamble" option when choosing rewards from the Soul Wars activity, and possibly receive 9 red flowers, worth about 0 coins.
 * In a hidden update: You can no longer plant flowers in the Grand Exchange (in the gray tile/stone area). However, you can still plant flowers in the 'outskirts' of the grand exchange (grassy areas).
 * Though Black flowers and White flowers seem to have the same percent of receiving, White flowers are worth over twice as much as black. This is likely only for cosmetic appeal by the player.
 * As of 1 February 2011, many players started a game called the "flower game", a guessing game where gamblers place a wager and guess what flower will sprout. Winner(s) get their money back times whatever the host offered (IE: X2, X3 etc). Be warned that many scammers use this technique to steal money off players, as the host may keep whatever the loser(s) bet even if they win.
