1''The Flowering Nose'' is a rather bizarre game made by Seth Fisher (who passed away in early 2006) and Omar Waly. It is a rather bizarre game where you star as a [[PlantPerson creature]] with a flowering nose. Any object that you pick up can be used as a method of teleport, and you kill creatures [[AbnormalAmmo with flowers.]] It's really fun and very thought out.

4!!This game provides examples of:
5
6* AbnormalAmmo: The protagonist uses flowers he collects as ammunition.
7* BrokenBridge: Literally in one level, you must [[ItMakesSenseInContext fetch a tree a donut]] in order for him to make the bridge passable. The various doors in the games also serve this function, as well.
8* EmptyRoomPsych: Are you ''sure'' you got everything in a room?
9* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Practically all the levels in the game. Granted, you access them by placing their respective item on the teleporter spot. [[ItMakesSenseInContext It makes more sense in context]]. Also, the Flowering Nose, the protagonist, is this.
10* EverythingIsSmashableArea: When you have the bomb with you.
11* FetchQuest: The entire meaning of the game. You need to fetch a sprout that was taken. Goes hand in hand with [[ItemGet item getting]] in this case, as well.
12* FlashOfPain: Whenever the Flowering Nose or an enemy gets hurt.
13* FireAndBrimstoneHell: Whenever you fall off the map, you fall into one, complete with Satan himself wearing a blue satin outfit. If you collect a certain item, you can freeze over the fire aspect.
14* GagNose: They don't call him the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Flowering Nose]] for no reason!
15* GrowsOnTrees: The items that may be planted in the Flowering Nose's special garden grow into fruit-bearing bushes.
16** You can plant cheese. It grows into a cheese bush.
17** You can also plant actual vegetables like carrots, but they also grow into a bush.
18* InsurmountableWaistHighFence: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Oh so very many]]. They are generally used with [[LockAndKeyPuzzle key doors]].
19* InterchangeableAntimatterKey: The game only has one key, and it opens every door. Well, except for the special garden door.
20* InventoryManagementPuzzle: The Flowering Nose has tiny hands, so he can only carry one thing at a time. Proves to be very annoying later on.
21* ItemGet: This entire game is about getting a sprout. Along the way, you will need a certain item to get to a certain level to get another certain item...it goes on and on.
22* IsometricProjection
23* LockAndKeyPuzzle: There is one key in the game, and it unlocks every locked door. However, the problem is getting the key to the respective door...
24* LockedDoor: There are a lot of these scattered throughout the game, requiring [[InterchangeableAntimatterKey a key]].
25* MindScrew: Everything about this game. You're a [[PlantPerson plant man]] in a world where you travel from place to place by putting [[ItemGet random items]] on the X in front of the [[ItMakesSenseInContext benevolent sunflower]] and stepping on the glowing pad in the centre of the ring of pyramids. You fight slugs, ladybugs, and the devil himself with [[AbnormalAmmo flowers]]. There are [[TalkingToPlants talking trees]], talking rocks and even a talking urn in the game aswell.
26* PlantPerson: The protagonist himself. When he dies, he even turns to soil that sprouts a flower.
27* PlotCouponThatDoesSomething: The sprout functions as a key to the special garden.
28* PointOfNoReturn: This is what happens if you lose track of an important level item. However, if you find the item, this trope no longer applies.
29* {{Satan}}: When you get to the [[FireAndBrimstoneHell hell level]], you can encounter him, and defeat him as well.
30* SavePoint: There are several in this game.
