Pellet Posies are the main producer plants for Pikmin to propagate. When a Pikmin cuts one down, it drops a pellet. These come in different sizes and colors: 1s, 5s, 10s and 20s, with red, yellow, and blue pellets. Some of these plants' pellets change color at regular intervals, similarly to the Queen Candypop Buds, and drop an appropriate pellet when the plant itself is taken down. If a Pikmin is thrown and lands on the pellet or upper stem the plant will automatically succumb and drop the pellet that is present when the Pikmin hits. This allows players to get the color of pellet they deem most important. All Pellet Posies have the same health, regardless of color or the number on the pellet they carry.
Locations
In Pikmin 2, Pellet Posies appear regularly in the Valley of Repose and the Awakening Wood, but disappear from the Perplexing Pool the day after Yellow Pikmin are discovered, and are never found in the Wistful Wild. However, pellets without a plant can be found within all above-ground areas, usually as a drop from enemies. Neither pellets nor Pellet Posies are ever found in caves.
As a sidenote, 10- and 20-weight Pellet Posies only appear in the Awakening Wood and the Valley of Repose in the Pikmin 2 world. There are only three 10s found in the Awakening Wood, they are located to the left of the landing site, near the location of the Pilgrim Bulb. The yellow 10 is near one of the Burgeoning Spiderworts, located on a ledge, ideal for the use of Yellow Pikmin to attack and retrieve the pellet. The other two (red and blue) are at ground level. The only 20-weight pellet in the game is situated on the ledge that is left around from where the Sunseed Berry is found. This 20 intermittently changes color, so time carefully when cutting it down to get the desired color of pellet. It will appear after quite a few days, respawning every 2-4 days once collected, approximately. It can be seen at least as early as day 16. The only special Pellet Posy in the Valley of Repose is a 10-pellet, and it changes colors; find it on a ledge in the vicinity of the rocket, but only after a certain amount of days have passed by. There are no 20 Pellet Posies in the first Pikmin game.

How to Kill
The Pellet Posy isn't an enemy, but this is included for consistency.
Pikmin
Swarm it. If you want a certain color, wait until just before it turns that color, then swarm it, or throw a Pikmin directly at the petals. Throwing a Pikmin directly at the pellet will give more accuracy if the player can get the timing right.
Captains
Punch it until it falls. If you want a certain color, punch it until it's almost defeated, then hit it once more when it turns the color you want.
