Seriously, this has annoyed me ever since the original release. 

When you examine the flowers in the Climbing Trees area of Deep Jungle, the last thing it says is "What will happen when all the flowers bloom?" So I thought if I made them all bloom I'd get a treasure chest or something. 

Well I made them bloom, in both versions, but nothing. Is there some secret to it? Like a certain combination of spells or something? Or is Square just trolling us?

God I hate this world, I spent the last 2 hours figuring out what to do here.

I'd be so screwed if I were to be in a real jungle ever in my life.

Either way, I tried to bloom them all too, I used fire on them. And nothing happend.

I think there just trolling us

You must continue try to use fire I think. Not sure if this will be needed.

They're for when you save Tirk and Jane. Once they all bloom, you can destroy the giant fruit. That's at least what I got from it.They're pretty much useless otherwise.

"After rescuing the gorilla and Jane in the DJ, the flowers that were around will bloom a different colour, depending on the spell you hit them with.  Fire/Fira/Firaga will result in red.  Blizzard/Blizzara/Blizzaga will result in blue.  Thunder/Thundara/Thundaga will result in yellow."

Nope, I was able to destroy it without even touching a flower.

 

I think I remember in the original, it said that the color tells you if heartless are near by?  I don't know, but if that's the case then it's kinda dumb.

I honestly think they don't do anything special but i know how you feel about why it said that

Thought I was the only one wondering about those flowers but yea I also tried using magic on them before saving Jane and nothing happened. Wasted almost all of my MP for nothing -_-

Just another random KH thing: no biggie. 

Actualy, i think i may have gotten it to work in the ps2 version once, maybe not. But here are a few thigs i noticed:If i cast thunder on the flower near the treetop entrance, than the rest require more than one shot to turn yellow, possibly meaning that i got that first one right. I vaugly remember doing the same in my old game.Second, if you use Aero and stand any of the flowers, theres a spot that shimmers under the treetop entrance ledge. And if my vauge recolection is correct, i remember a chest apearing there.I still have my game and memory card, so if i did do it, there should at least be some sign that i did it back then.

I think it does nothing really

Just another random thing. KH1 has more than that.Maybe there was a cut made here.

If so, I'll have to try.

You know, I never did get that thing with the flowers.  After not getting anything, I just kept going on my way.  But you know, I never did try to cast spells on them again.

I believe that when trying to destroy the fruit to save Jane and Terk, getting all the flowers to bloom will stop the heartless from infinitely spawning but I'm not entirely sure.

It's Just Another Random Thing In "Kingdom Hearts 2".

 

I Used Magic On ALL The Flowers MANY Times!!  Nothing Ever Happened Except The Flowers Opening A Letting Out Some Green Sparkles.

I Haven't Tried This Yet, But Maybe The Flowers Can Restore Your Lost HP?

 

EDIT:  I Meant "Kingdom Hearts 1".  I Was Typing Too Fast.

How is it a random thing in Kingdom Hearts II if there's no Deep Jungle in Kingdom Hearts II?

 

By the way, I remember raging over those pesky flowers that did nothing in spite of what was written.

 

Edit:

 

Just found out. If you let all flowers open before destroying the fruit, the heartless will stop spawning.

"一応意味はありますよ(^^;

そこにある黒い実を倒すときに、全てのツボミを開かせておくと、ハートレスが出現しなくなるんです。

ただ、黒い実を倒した後は意味はなくなるんですけどね。"

You Have An Excellent Point!!

 

Later, After Visiting Hollow Bastion, I Returned To That Spot In The Deep Jungle.  The Heartless Had Stopped Appearing And All The Flowers Were OPEN!!

 

It All Makes Sense!!  The Heartless Stop Appearing Once The Flowers Are Open!!

I think that they just stop appearing after you leave the world TBH. I returned after clearing the world, before going to Hollow Bastion and the flowers are closed, yet no heartless appear in that room.

Apparently if you use fire it turns red, blizzard blue, thunder yellow, and Gravity becomes purple. I haven't tested Aero, or Stop yet (just started PC version so not far enough for Aero to do damage) and it seems to be impossible to cure the flowers. I tried doing 1 of each magic to see if did anything but so far nothing. It just gets heartless to stop spawning in the room as before you get to hollow bastion powerwilds will still spawn in there (at least on PC) but after Hollow Bastion I know that room stops having enemies all together


EDIT::/ UPDATE I got further in the game on PC and Stop magic ALSO works on the plants, turning them green when they bloom. I still haven't gotten a 2nd level Aero spell so it doesn't do damage yet so not results on if that does anything. However something else I noticed, when you are later in the game there is a flower by the wall to the path to go to the tree house, but earlier in the game there isn't on there. I don't know if this is an issue with the PC port or if another flower appears later. Considering there is now 5 confirmed colors, Red, Blue, Yellow, Purple, and Green it could be you need to make a flower of each color?

More information

I found flowers matching the Colors in the vines 1 and 2 areas but can't figure out how it works.

If you open all the flowers, the endless spawning of heartless stop. The flowers also turn color of the magic you use. 
 

As a side note these are not necessarily to use during the mini boss fight to free Jane and Turk. Just wail on the fruit. The flowers can be activated at any point to stop the endless spawning. 
 

As far as I know every puzzled in KH1 had a point. Whether or not it was worth it to do is dependent upon the person and their skill level. For instance, it might be worth it to someone to do during boss fight if they don’t have the skill to balance killing the fruit and the heartless at the same time. Might also be worth it for someone to do if they want to explore that area (small as it may be) without intrusion from the heartless.
