The Margaret (マーガレット^?, lit.: "Marguerite") is one of three members of the Chrysanthemum family, along with the Creeping Chrysanthemum and Startle Spore. When hiding, Creeping Chrysanthemums resemble margarets very closely and use this as a camouflage, pretending to be harmless flowers and lying in wait for unsuspecting prey to pass by. The only initially visible differences between Creeping Chrysanthemums and margarets are that the former has eyes on two of its three flowers and the Margaret has four flowers instead of three.

Although margarets themselves do not directly affect gameplay, disturbing a cluster of these flowers may sometimes reveal hidden creatures such as Honeywisps or Unmarked Spectralids.

Notes

Olimar's notes

“This plant's delicate yellow flowers often inspire waves of nostalgia, giving a bittersweet feeling to any who gaze upon them.”

Louie's notes

“Can be eaten fresh out of the soil, but it's much more flavorful when incorporated into a heavenly veggie lasagna.”

Pikmin 2 Nintendo Player's Guide

“When you see the Margaret, you may think for a moment that it is a Creeping Chrysanthemum in hiding. You'll be pleased to know that it is but a beautiful flower, though its eye is to be avoided.”
