'''Big Flowers''' are plants in {{pb}} that can be found throughout the world at set points of interest. They appear on the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Map|map screen]] with circles around them with a radius of 40 meters. If a player is [[flower planting|planting flowers]] within the Big Flower's radius, it will contribute towards blooming the Big Flower. After 300 flowers are planted in the radius, the flower will bloom and reward players who plant flowers nearby with an [[expedition]] to collect a [[fruit]] from it. (If a player has not yet unlocked the ability to do expeditions, they will not get a reward from a Big Flower.) Any player that walks within 100 meters of a blooming Big Flower can swipe vertically across it while viewing its information page to gain 1-2 nectar, even if they have already retrieved the fruit. The nectar provided by the Big Flower depends on the type of flowers that were planted in the radius.

If a player is [[flower planting|planting flowers]] within the Big Flower's radius, it will contribute towards blooming the Big Flower. After 300 flowers are planted in the radius, the flower will bloom, and within the first hour after it blooms, it will reward players who plant flowers nearby with an [[expedition]] to collect a [[fruit]] from it.

There are some flowers on the map that look like Big Flowers but have a rainbow bud. These are a different kind of flower, called a [[Special Spot]].

A Big Flower's eventual bloomed color is determined by the color of the flowers that players plant within, with additional complexity added by white flowers. For red, blue, and yellow flowers, having a majority of that color of flower planted within the radius will cause the Big Flower to grow into that color. For a Big Flower to grow into a white flower, at least 70% of the flowers in the radius need to be either white, or another color that is not the most prevalent non-white color, and when the 300 flower goal is reached, the color of the Big Flower will still be randomly picked. When this occurs the flower species is first determined, and then the color is picked based on odds unique to the species.

The likely eventual color and type of a Big Flower is displayed in the screen that appears when an unbloomed Big Flower is tapped. The color displayed does not guarantee that it will be the final color of the Big Flower, because it could still change as more flowers are planted. The colors "red", "blue", and "yellow" will display in this message if that color of flower is the most common non-white color within the radius, and if the 70% rule for white flowers has not been reached. The color "white" is never displayed here, as if the 70% rule has been reached, the color will be displayed as "???" instead. For example, if there are 40 white flowers and 30 red flowers within a Big Flower's radius, the Big Flower will say it will be red, because there are less than 70% white and non-red flowers. If an additional 20 yellow and 20 blue flowers were planted within, they would contribute to white as there are less common than red flowers, and the Big Flower would display "???" as its eventual color.

When the game launched initially, there used to be a rarity hierarchy, where Regular Flowers had the possibility to bloom into Pansies, and Pansies had the possibility to bloom into Roses. But once the flower forecast was simplified, this rarity hierarchy was removed, but the feature for seasonal flowers to bloom into other seasonal flowers stayed.

It is roughly a 3% chance for a mutation to happen. Mutations are flowers within the same season as the base flower, often being the flower introduced after the base flower.

The following table shows which seasonal flowers can mutate to what other seasonal flower:
