The Bloominous Stemple (NTSC)/Bluminous Stemple (PAL) is a unique plant found in Pikmin 3. They are always found in caves, and will appear in their dormant stage when first seen. They will bloom if the cave is lit up, by means of an Electrode. When they bloom, they act like a path to access to previously unaccessable areas. Once they have been lit up, they will not wither back to the dormant state. According to the explorers, the surface of the Stemple is quite soft and fluffy.
