The Creeping Chrysanthemum is an enemy in Pikmin 2. When dormant, it greatly resembles the large yellow flowers known as the Margaret used for level scenery. It can be told apart from the normal flowers, as it has one less flower, no leaves on the "stem", and the large flowers have the Chrysanthemum's eyes visible.
When the Pikmin or the pilots get close, it will spring out of the ground, revealing its root-arms and its bulbous body. It moves moderately slowly, and will return to its original spot if left alone for a while. This enemy is not able to be petrified while it is in the ground.
It is possible that their appearance is based on the Piranha Plants of the Super Mario video game series.
The Chrysanthemum is also a collectable sticker in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Stratagems for Success
Pikmin
Its large mouth will pick up the Pikmin to eat them, but if it fails to capture any, it will slam its head into its body and fall to the ground, struggling to get back up.This presents an opportunity for you to attack the Chrysanthemum. Its weak point is its body, which can be hit at all times. It is generally weak against medium-sized groups of Pikmin. The best way to defeat it is to simply swarm it, being careful not to let it eat any Pikmin. Another way is to daze it with Purple Pikmin then swarm to kill it.
Captains
Awaken it, then run. Attack it until it sucks its gut in, wait for it to finish its "throw" move, then attack again. Steer clear of the front while attacking, or you may get bitten.
