Nectar

Pikmin drinking nectar.

Nectar is used to turn Pikmin from leaf or bud stages into the flower stage. There are numerous places where nectar is found; Eggs, Ujadani, Iridescent Flint Beetles, Iridescent Glint Beetles, Nectar Weed patches, piles of rocky Rubble, Mitites, Honeywisps, and yellow Unmarked Spectralids can all drop globs of nectar. In Pikmin, the Pikmin can only drink it if the blob is at "full size".

There is glitch that occurs if a drop of nectar, such as one from a petrified enemy, falls on top of a pile of sticks used to build a bridge. If the sticks are removed from under the drop by building the bridge, the drop remains suspended in the air. Pikmin can be made to drink the nectar by throwing them at it, and they will fall back to the ground once the nectar is all used up.

Another glitch can occur if Olimar walks into a drop of nectar and starts throwing pikmin. Sometimes the pikmin will hit the surface of the nectar from underneath and bounce right back in front of Olimar.

There is a premade WarioWare D.I.Y. game called Pikmin. In the game, the throwing cursor moves back and forth. When you tap the screen, Olimar will throw a red Pikmin to the cursor. You must land on the rock where nectar is to win. If you miss, the pikmin will land in the pond and drown.
