'''Bloominous Stemples''' ({{j|ヒカリワタゲ|Hikari Watage|Light Fluff}}) are unique [[plant]]s found in {{p3}} and {{hp}}. They are always found in caves, and will appear in a dormant state when first seen. Once they bloom, they act as a path to access previously inaccessible places. In ''Pikmin 3'', they will bloom if a light from a nearby [[electrode]] is activated, and once they bloom, they will not wither back to their dormant state. In ''Hey! Pikmin'' they can also bloom if they receive light from sun or enemies that produce light (like [[Widemouthed Anode Beetle]]s), and if the source of light disappears, the plants will wither back to their dormant state. According to the explorers in ''Pikmin 3'', the surface of the Bloominous Stemple is very soft and fluffy. Caution should be exercised around them as it is easy for Pikmin to fall through the gaps.

==Locations==
===In ''Pikmin 3''===
;[[Distant Tundra]]
*A cluster of five is found in the [[Spotty Bulbear]] cave. Pikmin carrying objects can go over them, bypassing the [[fire]] hazards entirely, and they must be grown before any Pikmin, [[Winged Pikmin]] included, can access the [[Citrus Lump]] on the ledge behind the plants.
*Two are found in the cave in which Charlie was first taken by the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]]. They allow [[Alph]] and [[Brittany]] to give chase to the Vehemoth Phosbat.

;[[Twilight River]]
*Three are located in the [[Juicy Gaggle]] cave. When expanded, they lead to a pile of 30 light blue [[fragment]]s.

;[[Formidable Oak]]
*Two groups of two and one group of three are found in the second room of the oak, and each group requires its own [[electrode]]. Once all three electrodes are lit, the path beyond the Stemples can be accessed.

===In ''Hey! Pikmin''===
*'''[[Verdant Waterfront]]'''
**[[Glowing Bloom Pond]]: In this [[area]] many Bloominous Stemples can be found, which must be bloomed with Widemouthed Anode Beetles or [[Yellow Pikmin]] producing electricity.
*'''[[Sweltering Parchlands]]'''
**[[Lights in the Darkness]]: Again, many Bloominous Stemples are found here. However, the player must break blocks to let in light to cause the flowers to bloom.
