Have you completed the game yet? There's a small section before the end that serves as the flower shot's claim to fame.  :)

Duct tape is like 'The Force'. It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together

No - I was talking about the Sunken City section SPOILERS in which Naija leads the girl to Eric. The nature form flowers are completely ineffectual against Uber-Nautiluses, mutants, and smiling tentacle wheels of death.  :D

Well,  it's used in just a single puzzle (I did say  "gimmicky" rather than "completely useless") :/

No not gimmicky at all, they are needed in a lot of places, but natures other shot is priceless in many situations ;D

You mean the flowers do have a use outside of that puzzle?

Have to admit I didn't try them much after noticing they passed straight through enemies and didn't affect them noticeably...

Flower Shot: Sunken City puzzle, Ballon Plant Tunnels, (Opening of Pearl Petals? Or only charged form?)
Charged Nature Shot: Pretty useful everywhere. ;)

Oh yeah, the big flowers... still, some use outside of puzzles... Well, eh, I guess it's just a matter of design choice.

It could be worse.  I've only found one place where the Fish Form's bubbles actually have any use, and you'd have to be insane to actually attempt using them there.

SPOILER: The Creator's bug-like form is vulnerable to ANYTHING you shoot, including uncharged plant form and bubbles.  And on second thought, regarding the insanity, I have done that battle under the influence of rainbow soup, so I suppose that doing it in fish form wouldn't be that much worse...

What about moneyes and the Spirit Form priests? Both can be captured with bubbles - with moneyes, it's a great way to stockpile ammo for the beast form.

Now that's a useful ability that I had absolutely no idea existed.  Darn it, and here I'd thought that they'd made one genuinely useless attack...  :-[

Yeah, that was one the immediate things that caught my attention about the nature form. The regular flower shot is pretty much useless except in the case of getting 1 pearl, and for opening the teleport tunnels. I thought the flower could at least emit a poisonous gas cloud that effects enemies would at least be something more. Being able to use the ubervine to entangle and slowly damage creatures would be amazing too. Oh, well, who knows besides Alec what the intentions were for that graphic. *shrug*
