Flowers

The Old School RuneScape Wiki also has an article on: osrsw:Flowers

For flowers grown in the Farming skill, see Flower seed.

For flowers used for feeding animals in player-owned farm, see Flowery mush.

Not to be confused with Bouquet.

Flowers are harvested after planting mithril seeds, and grow in many assorted colours with black and white being the rarest. Flowers can be wielded in the weapon slot, and are classified as a fun weapon in the Duel Arena. Any type of flower except black and white can be used in Summoning as a tertiary ingredient for infusing Praying mantis pouches. Yellow and blue flowers are needed for certain clue scrolls.

Obtaining flowers

Mithril seeds are obtained after completing the Waterfall Quest and can also be bought from the Legends' Guild Shop of Useful Items at a price of 300 coins each, with a stock of 500 that replenishes slowly over time.

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 5 minutes. Players cannot pick these flowers, and they are always white when unpicked.

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. Players can also possibly receive 9 red flowers from selecting the "Gamble" option when choosing rewards from the Soul Wars minigame, worth about 37,400 coins.

Update history

The update history project is a work-in-progress – not all updates to this topic may be covered below. See here for how to help out!

• patch 2 November 2010 (Update):
  • Flowers have had their names and descriptions altered for colour clarification.

• patch 17 November 2009 (Update):
  • Properly fixed the flowers required to create praying mantis Summoning pouches.

Trivia

• In the past, red flowers were the third most expensive flower because they were the only flowers that could be used to make the praying mantis familiar. However, an update allowed the mantis pouch to be made with any colour flower except white or black.
