Peculiar Petals is the third chapter in Botany Manor, and it features numerous puzzles for players to solve. While some of those puzzles have fairly simple solutions, fans may find themselves stuck at several points during Chapter 3. For those players that are in that situation, this complete walkthrough of Botany Manor's Peculiar Petals is here to help.

This walkthrough uses proper names for a variety of locations in Botany Manor. If a player is ever confused about exactly where to find one of those locations, they should check the maps that appear near the beginning of the in-game Herbarium.

Botany Manor: Chapter 3 Walkthrough

Grow Pixie Tears

Upon entering the Orchard, players should look for a small shed on their right. The Pixie Tears seed packet is housed within that shed, and fans of puzzle games should pick it up and follow these steps to make the flower bloom:

  1. Go to the planting station that is diagonally across from the shed.
  2. Fill the pot with potting soil, select Pixie Tears from the seed inventory, and interact with the green watering can.
  3. Carry the watered Pixie Tears into the Cider Garden, and place it on the saucer in front of the press.
  4. Place a Knobby Russet, Kingston Black, and Lord Peckover apple into the press.
  5. Interact with the handle on the right side of the press.

With respect to how this solution is determined, the microscope slides in the Orchard confirm that the Pixie Tears have no Chloroplast, and the Chloroplasts book that is next to the slides indicates that sugar is required to make it grow. That sugar can come from apples, and the Pot Notes document in the shed confirms that 97g of sugar should be used when planting in the type of pot that is available. Indie video game fans can then use the Apple Blending document in the Cider Garden to determine a combination of apples that will provide 97g of sugar.

Grow Wolfglove

The first step toward growing a Wolfglove is obtaining its seed packet from the ground floor of the Orangery. To access that area, fans of immersive sims will need to solve a puzzle, and here is exactly how that is done:

  1. Go to the Pantry on the manor's ground floor.
  2. Place a 1kg weight in the scale's first position.
  3. Place a 5kg weight in the scale's second position.
  4. Place a 9kg weight in the scale's third position.
  5. Place a 3kg weight in the scale's fourth position.

For those players who would like to know more about this solution, the Religious Blessing that is hanging on the wall in the Kitchen indicates that "the year of construction" is "the key." This is a reference to when the manor was constructed, and fans of educational games who examine the Manor Floorplan in the Painting Room, an area that becomes accessible during Chapter 3, will discover that it was built in 1593.

With the Wolfglove seed packet in hand, fans of relaxing video games should make their way to Orangery's planting station and follow these steps:

  1. Fill a pot with planting soil, select Wolfglove from the seed inventory, and interact with the green watering can.
  2. Carry the watered Wolfglove into the Old Tower, and place it on the saucer.
  3. Interact with the handle, to move up to Level 1, and open the left shutter.
  4. Move up to Level 2.
  5. Move up to Level 3, and open both shutters.
  6. Move up to Level 4, and open both shutters.

With respect to how this solution is determined, there are a variety of documents indicating that Wolfgloves bloom on a mountain. More specifically, it grows on Mount Weisshorn, a fact that is determined by looking for the symbol that appears on the Envelope with Stamp (top floor of Orangery) within the Coin Collection (ground floor of Orangery). As per the Alpine Exploration document on the Oragnery's top floor, Mount Weisshorn has wind at 40 f/s, and the Wind Research book that is next to that document depicts how the Old Tower must be configured to replicate that speed.

Enter the Library

botany manor chapter 3 walkthrough

Once the Pixie Tears and Wolfglove have grown, players will be sent to the Gatehouse. Here, fans of cozy video games will find a letter from Elizabeth, Arabella's sister, indicating that the combination lock on the Library door has been set to her initials. Fans can find the Library door by climbing the manor's Grand Staircase, and the combination is EAH.

While players who examine the Family Tree in the manor's Main Hall may think that the final letter in this combination should be G, it is important to keep in mind that the document uses maiden names (as is confirmed by the Letter from the Genealogist). As such, fans must look to the last name of Elizabeth's husband when determining the Library combination, and indeed it begins with an "H."
