Though you’ve got plenty of frog breedingand mushroom cultivatingto worry about inMudborne, it’s still important to keep in mind where to find the different kinds of flowers! All the flora in the ponds are critical to the balance of the ecosystem, with different bugs preferring different plants.

This includes several types of flowers, with each region of the map in Mudborne having its own type of flower (and bugs that spawn there by proxy). Catching different kinds of bugs is critical to raising different kinds of tadpoles, so here’s where to find all the flowers bugs like.

What Are Flowers For?

There are plenty of plants growing around the different areas of the pond you’re exploring andtrying to revitalizein Mudborne, and while not all of them are exactly desirable in the quantities they appear, you’ll come to rely on the flora around your pond, sincecertain bug species require specific greenery to spawn. While you’llfind a variety of bugsaround the area, especially with other plants like lily pads and reeds in the water, there are plenty of species likecertain butterfliesthat only spawn near flowers.

When catching bugs, you’ll often catch the flower as well. Like trees and other greenery, this produces a packet of seeds that allows you toreplant any flowers you’ve picked, since you’ll want to encourage those bugs to come back. That said, by catching the flowers and their seeds, you may always replant them in a more convenient locationon their native mapto encourage those bugs to spawn someplace closer to where you spend your time. Once picked, you canreplant flowers anywhere you like, provided the growing location like water or grass matches the native location.
