The Flourishing Blowhog is an airborne blowhog that appears in Pikmin: Wide World as a relative of the Withering Blowhog and the Poisonous Blowhog. No blowlet counterpart of them is encountered in the game. Flourishing Blowhogs hover gracefully in the air, in lush locations rich in vegetation, idly exploring their small territories. They care not for leaders or flowered Pikmin, but when a leaved or budded Pikmin comes by, a Flourishing Blowhog will attempt to blow air onto them. Its breath attack has an effect opposite that of the Withering Blowhog's breath, flowering Pikmin instead of reducing their maturities to the leaf stage. Because of this, a Flourishing Blowhog can be utilized to flower Pikmin if nectar, as a blob or as a spray, is in short supply. A Flourishing Blowhog's breath can knock leaders and Pikmin down, but not often as its breath is weaker than a Puffy Blowhog's. Its breath can still push them around, however. The Traction Cleats allow leaders a chance of not being blown over or away by an airborne blowhog's breath, and that chance increases as the Traction Cleats are refined. Purple Pikmin are naturally immune to being blown over or away by a blowhog's breath. A Flourishing Blowhog will make a soft, high-pitched giggle every time at least one Pikmin is affected by its breath attack.
Flourishing Blowhogs resemble the Withering Blowhog and the Poisonous Blowhog in shape and size but are primarily green in color instead of red or purple, respectively. They have a rotund body, a pair of beady black eyes, a white belly, and a yellow back. Their fins and snout are green and their whiskers are white.
Flourishing Blowhogs should be kept alive, as the only harm they do is blow Pikmin around and over, temporarily leaving them susceptible to other enemies. Must one be killed, a Flourishing Blowhog can be coaxed into attacking, presenting the opportunity to run underneath it and throw Pikmin at its underside.

Notes
Olimar's notes
- “The breath of this withering blowhog relative contains a plant hormone that promotes growth, explaining why Pikmin that are in the range of its attack become flowered. Its bright green coloration sets it apart from the withering blowhog and the poisonous blowhog, both of which the creature is related to. Additionally, its breath seems to induce a hallucinogenic effect when inhaled.”
