'''Candypop Buds''' are large flowers with fleshy petals and are found in all three [[Pikmin (series)|Pikmin games]]. When [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] are tossed into these gigantic blossoms, they spit out new Pikmin seeds which match the color of their petals. In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', Candypops will wither after 50 Pikmin are thrown in, but this number was reduced to 5 in the [[Pikmin 2|second game]], likely due to the 2 new species. Using Pikmin of the same color as the flower will not count against this limit, although they will be reverted to leaf Pikmin and planted in the ground.
The '''candypop family''' is a family of plants in the {{ps}}. Initially, the family consisted only of [[Candypop Bud]]s, but from ''Pikmin 4'' onward, other important gameplay plants were identified as being part of the family as well.


In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' they have a different appearence, consisting of a large bucket-like cup in the middle of the flower, most likely as a "target" for captains to aim pikmin. They also behave differently, as they stay closed until they are approached.

{{main|Candypop Bud}}


Olimar notes in a [[Olimar's Notes|journal entry]] state that Candypop Buds could be the next step in Pikmin evolution, and in another that Candypops could be the same species.
Scientific name: ''Flora expellus''


Candypop Buds were very helpful in Pikmin 2 more than Pikmin 1. For example, Violet and White Candypop Buds are the only way to obtain more Puprle Pikmin and White Pikmin. But, like said above, Candypop Buds can make 50 Pikmin in Pikmin 1. And in Pikmin 2, Candypop Buds can only produce 5 Pikmin.
When Pikmin are tossed into a Candypop Bud, Pikmin of the same color are shot back out, allowing Pikmin to be converted between types. There are 8 colors of Candypop Bud, each corresponding to a type of Pikmin. (In ''Pikmin 2'', different colors of Candypop Buds are considered different species, while in ''Pikmin'', ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'', all colors are considered the same species.)

====Olimar's Notes====
=== Flarlic ===
''"No matter what color Pikmin is tossed into the bosom of this flower, it spits out the same number of red Pikmin seeds. The Pikmin, the candypop flowers, and the Pikmin Onions are not easily explained by current theories of the xenobotanical sciences, and thus have not yet been appropriately studied and classified."''

====Louie's Notes====
Scientific name: ''Bulbus lillium''
''"This spicy flower combusts upon contact with the tongue. Keep fire-retardant condiments within arm's reach!"''


====Nintendo Player's Guide====
A Flarlic resembles a colorless [[Onion]]. If carried to the Onion, 10 more Pikmin will be allowed out in the field, unless the limit of 100 has already been reached.
''"Toss 5 Pikmin of any color into this flower, and it will produce five Red Pikmin sprouts."''

=== Onion ===
[[File:Pikmin 4 Multicolored Onion.png|left|150px]]
{{main|Onion}}


Scientific name: ''Lillium pikminporta''


Onions are large and round life forms that act as nests for the Pikmin. They allow leaders to store and retrieve Pikmin, as well as spitting out new Pikmin seeds. Additionally, starting in ''Pikmin 3'', Onions of different types are capable of merging together.

=== Queen Candypop Bud ===
[[File:Queencandypop.jpg|left|150px]]
{{main|Queen Candypop Bud}}


Scientific name: ''Flora regina''


Queen Candypop Buds are unique in the Candypop family. Their petals are white with colored spots which cycle between red, yellow, and blue. When a Pikmin of any type is tossed in, 9 seeds which match the color of the spots are ejected, giving players an eight-Pikmin gain. After the seeds are ejected, the Queen Candypop Bud wilts. These flowers are generally found in [[rest sublevel]]s of caves, to let the player increase their Pikmin population. They only appear in ''Pikmin 2''.

===Notes===
====Olimar's Notes====
''"Research from our most recent expedition has confirmed the presence of candypop buds in subterranean regions. Considering the micro-ecologies this plant has been found in, one could surmise that it could be found in any cavern, regardless of geographic region. Tossing Pikmin into this flower results in the release of purple Pikmin seeds, regardless of the color of the Pikmin tossed in. This variety of candypop contains robustly odoriferous oils. If candypop flowers could be cultivated, there is no doubt that the plants would offer multifaceted benefits to the cosmetic, medical, and tourist industries."''

It can be said that this is a completely baffling plant, and many mysteries remain over precisely what sort of relationship it has with the Pikmin.

==Trivia==
 
* While candypop buds in German are called "Königinblume" (Queen flower), the Queen Candypop Bud is called "Kaiserinblume" (Empress flower).
* In Sublevel 5 of [[Glutton's Kitchen]], a Queen Candypop Bud may fall from the ceiling. If you look closely, you can see that it has a green root. There are also several Candypop Buds in Sublevel 6 of [[Bulblax Kingdom]]. Here, if you go into close-up view, and if the Candypop Bud is distant enough, you may see a root.
* [[Yellow Pikmin]] holding bomb-rocks cannot be thrown into Candypop Buds.
* Like the [[Creature Montage]] notes state, the Candypop Buds could be the next step in pikmin evolution.
* In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', if a [[captain]] enters the vicinity of a Candypop Bud, it will open, and when they leave it will close once again.
* Thrown [[captains]] will simply slide off of the Candypop Buds.
* The roots of vanished Candypop Buds remain in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', while they never have in previous games.
* In ''Pikmin 3'''s japanese guide book, the names of the pink and rock Candypop Buds translate roughly to "Slate Candypop Bud" and "Alizarin Candypop Bud", respectively. Slate is a dark grey, polished substance, while alizarin is a deep red mineral that is pinkish when used in small ammounts. These candypop buds were not given any english name, to date.

The candypop family is a family of plants in the Pikmin series. Initially, the family consisted only of Candypop Buds, but from Pikmin 4 onward, other important gameplay plants were identified as being part of the family as well.

Candypop Bud

The three different Candypop Buds from Pikmin.
Main article: Candypop Bud.

Scientific name: Flora expellus

When Pikmin are tossed into a Candypop Bud, Pikmin of the same color are shot back out, allowing Pikmin to be converted between types. There are 8 colors of Candypop Bud, each corresponding to a type of Pikmin. (In Pikmin 2, different colors of Candypop Buds are considered different species, while in Pikmin, Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 4, all colors are considered the same species.)

Main article: Onion.

Scientific name: Lillium pikminporta

Onions are large and round life forms that act as nests for the Pikmin. They allow leaders to store and retrieve Pikmin, as well as spitting out new Pikmin seeds. Additionally, starting in Pikmin 3, Onions of different types are capable of merging together.

Queen Candypop Bud

Scientific name: Flora regina

Queen Candypop Buds are unique in the Candypop family. Their petals are white with colored spots which cycle between red, yellow, and blue. When a Pikmin of any type is tossed in, 9 seeds which match the color of the spots are ejected, giving players an eight-Pikmin gain. After the seeds are ejected, the Queen Candypop Bud wilts. These flowers are generally found in rest sublevels of caves, to let the player increase their Pikmin population. They only appear in Pikmin 2.

Violet Candypop Bud

Scientific name: Flora puniceus

Violet Candypop Buds produce Purple Pikmin seeds. This name is only used in Pikmin 2, where this species is the only way of obtaining Purple Pikmin.

Naming

The family's name is the combination of the words "candy", given their intense colors, and "pop", referring to the way Candypop Buds spit out Pikmin seeds.
