'''The ship''' is the common name for Olimar's new rocket in [[Pikmin 2]]. It is not named in-game, so it is simply referred to as "the ship"; all that is known is that [[Olimar]] sometimes refers to the ship as a "he". In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], it has also been called the "Hocotate Ship". Unlike the [[S. S. Dolphin]], the ship is capable of speech, (replacing most of [[Olimar]]'s in game speech), and takes on the role of giving advice throughout the game. Olimar makes his opinion of its personality being pompous and smart-alec known in his [[Olimar's notes|notes]]. Once the [[President|President's]] debt is repaid, the ship is upgraded into a sleeker, golden model.
'''Figworts''' are tall, flowering plants used as scenery in both [[Pikmin series|Pikmin games]]. In [[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin 1]], figwort plants sport bright blue flowers.


The ship can store [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]], and does so, storing both [[White Pikmin]] and [[Purple Pikmin]]. Unlike the Dolphin, the [[Captain]]s cannot check how many treasures have been collected using it nor restore their suit's damage meter. Standing in the green light and pressing A before Purple Pikmin have been found does nothing. The ship has two cockpits, and is capable of deep space communication, sending a report each night to [[Hocotate]] and receiving mail. To do this it must be in orbit around the [[Pikmin Planet]]. The ship can dispatch a [[Research Pod]] for traveling underground.
In [[Pikmin 2]], figwort blossoms have adopted a deep pinkish hue which is thought to be the result of differing soil conditions; in fact, the color of some real-world flowering plants, [[Wikipedia:Hydrangea macrophylla|bigleaf hydrangeas]] in particular, can vary from blue to pink/purple, depending on the [[Wikipedia:Acid|acidity]] or [[Wikipedia:Base (chemistry)|alkalinity]] of the soil in which they grow.

A Figwort.

Figworts are tall, flowering plants used as scenery in both Pikmin games. In Pikmin 1, figwort plants sport bright blue flowers.

In Pikmin 2, figwort blossoms have adopted a deep pinkish hue which is thought to be the result of differing soil conditions; in fact, the color of some real-world flowering plants, bigleaf hydrangeas in particular, can vary from blue to pink/purple, depending on the acidity or alkalinity of the soil in which they grow. Although Pikmin 2 does not have the tiny black bugs from the first game, figworts may conceal larger creatures such as Doodlebugs or Unmarked Spectralids. In certain above-ground and cave locations, such as the Wistful Wild and White Flower Garden, dead or dormant figworts can be seen, possessing pale or red-orange leaves and without flowers.
