The Pellet Posy is a species of plant that crystallizes its nectar into pellets, which are dropped when the plant is broken down. Some Pellet Posies' pellets change color at regular intervals, though the color is fixed when the plant is destroyed. After a pellet posy is taken down, it disappears, returning the next day as a small stub that grows over time and eventually matures. Hitting a Pellet Posy's pellet will usually instantly destroy the plant, but there are some exceptions depending on the size of the pellet. In Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2, all Pellet Posies have the same amount of integrity regardless of the size of the pellet they bear. In Pikmin 3, Pellet Posies that bear larger pellets are themselves larger and take more effort to destroy.

Notes
Olimar's observations
- “Yep, it's a Pellet Posy. What is there to say about these things? The only thing worth mentioning is that, for once, I can see a yellow pellet on my journey before a red one. Of all the plants on this planet, these are still some of the least understood. What makes them change color based on the Pikmin nearby! Perhaps these are more closely related to the Pikmin species than I once thought.”
Cookin' with Louie
- “On a quest for the perfect hors d'oeuvre? Slow cook this plant in a wood-fire oven, but be sure to only serve the tender pellet.”

Notes
Olimar's notes
- “These plants help Pikmin reproduce. What good they do to other creatures is unknown. I wonder how two large pellets could fit in an iridescent glint beetle at times, though. Or how the stalk can lift up a heavy pellet.”
Ship's notes
- “How these plants grow is just confusing. But the colors... Red... Yellow... Blue... Red... Yellow... Blue... Red... Yellow... Blue... Purple... White... Teal... Fuchsia... I think I'm getting sick... how... ERROR!”

Pellet Posies appear in Pikmin: Connection of the Worlds. When an Onion seed is fully grown, the pellets of Pellet Posies will begin occasionally turning the color of that particular Onion. At the beginning of any day, there is a one-in-seventy-five chance that any existing 2o-Pellet Posy will yield a 50-pellet instead of its usual pellet size. The only known 100-pellet is that of the diabolical Giga Peeking Pelletonium, which only appears at the Ancient Valley every twenty days, starting from day forty-one.

Notes
Olimar's notes
- “Pellet Posies belong to a class of plants that also exhibit animal attributes. Also in this class are Chrysanthemums, and even the Pikmin themselves. Pellet Posies scatter their seeds by encasing them within crystallized nectar molded into the shape of a large patty. Known as a pellet, this object can be produced by the plant numerous times over the course of the day. This leads to the Pellet Posy becoming a reliable source of nutrients all across PNF-404.”
Louie's notes
- “Cook this plant using a masonry oven until tender. Discard the stem and petals before serving, as they're largely inedible minus the succulent juices that they secrete when they cook. These juices seep into the pellet as it is prepared, improving the already sweet taste. The end result? A grade-A appetizer!”

Notes
Olimar's notes
- “This species tends to crystallize some kind of nectar into a pellet. How it produces the nectar is yet unclear. Another anomaly that occurs is that it is able to form a "1" or a "5", without prior knowledge of Hocotatian arithmetic. Truly confounding!”
