Flowers Blox Fruits: race V2 quest

Flowers are three flowers - blue, red, and yellow - to collect for the Alchemist's quest that unlocks Race V2. They cannot be stored in your inventory and disappear as soon as you die or leave the server, so you must collect them all in one run. Each has its own spawn rules: blue at night, red during the day, yellow randomly drops from enemies.

How to get it

The three flowers are collected in the Second Sea, on the islands listed below. Once you have all three, go back to the Alchemist to confirm your Race V2.

Blue Flower - night only

The blue flower only appears at night and disappears at sunrise.

Location
In a secret room on Cave Island, not to be confused with the Graveyard: go through the hole in the ceiling
At the Graveyard, under the tree facing the cave, closest to the Vampire islands
At the Graveyard, on one of the tombstones, especially those on the left
On Remote Island, behind the house on the left, near the tree
On Remote Island, lying on the ground

Red Flower - daytime, and it stays put

The red flower appears during the day and, unlike the blue one, does not disappear until someone collects it.

Location
Kingdom of Rose, first area, between the stairs and the red three-tower building
In one of the bushes on the left of Swan Mansion
Green Zone, behind the Marine Lieutenant closest to the Quest Giver
Green Zone, behind the brown rock closest to Orbitus
On the large platform near the Factory, on the side closest to the bridge

Yellow Flower - from drops

This one doesn't spawn on the ground: it drops randomly when killing any NPC. The Fandom doesn't know the exact rate and estimates it around 1%.

Swan Pirates are the best spot: low health, low damage, and grouped together.
You get no notification when you obtain it: it lands directly in your items bar.
The Factory can also drop it, since it counts as an enemy.

Tips and traps

You can collect the flowers without taking the quest from the Alchemist on that server.
You lose everything by dying or leaving the game: a private server is highly recommended.
Take advantage of NPC farming to launch Race V2 quests in parallel, you'll earn extra Beli and EXP.
The Blue Flower doesn't spawn if Darkbeard is present on the server.
Sometimes the flowers don't spawn at all due to a bug: change servers.
Turn on Fast Mode and crank up the brightness to maximum, they're much easier to spot.

To know

The blue and red flowers can appear twice in the same day or night, but it's rare.
In your inventory, they are numbered Flower 1 for the blue one, Flower 2 for the red one, and Flower 3 for the yellow one, regardless of the order you collected them.
They don't really have icons in-game, and none has the green stem you see in the wiki images.
The Fandom attributes their appearance to Update 8.
