'''Pellet Posies''' are a species of plants that appear in both [[Pikmin (series)|''Pikmin'']] games. They possess a unique trait which allows them to crystallize nectar into small [[pellet]]s; the main way for [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to propagate. When a Pikmin cuts one down, it drops a pellet, these come in different sizes and colors: 1, 5, 10 and 20 with red, yellow, and blue pellets. Although there are 5, 10, and 20 pellets in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', Pellet Posies which actually grow those pellets are not seen until ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. Some of these plants' pellets change color at regular intervals, similarly to the [[Queen Candypop Bud]]s, 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. Pellet Posies also appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] ''with similar purposes; hitting them causes them to drop their pellets, which can be thrown or eaten. Different number pellets do different amounts of damage. | '''Pellet Posies''' are a species of plants that appear in both [[Pikmin (series)|''Pikmin'']] games.

*It's scientific name, '''''Amplus Nutrius''''', is loosely translated to 'Ample Nutrients': ''Amplus'' being close to ample, and ''nutrius ''is close to nutrients. This is also based on the fact that it supplies ample nutrients to the creatures of the planet, most notably [[Pikmin (Species)|pikmin]]. | *It's scientific name, '''''Amplus Nutrius''''', is loosely translated to 'Ample Nutrients': ''Amplus'' being close to ample, and ''nutrius ''is close to nutrients.
