What is Blue Orchid?
The blue orchid is a tiny blue flower that grows in wet places. It is mainly decorative and is used to make gardens and borders look nicer. In simple terms it is a plant you can place or pick to add blue colour to a scene. It has no special powers in the game and it is chosen for looks and for use in composting and simple crafts.
Where to find Blue Orchid
Blue orchids appear naturally in swamp type biomes and near shallow water where the ground stays moist. These are the places to look when you want to collect a group of them. You do not find them in dry biomes like deserts and they are rare in cold snowy fields. If you explore swamp areas you will often see small patches of blue orchids near the water edge.
How to get Blue Orchid
Collect blue orchids by breaking them with your hand or any simple tool and they will drop as items that you can pick up. The plant is stackable so you can carry many. Using bone meal on grass in some game versions can produce extra flowers which makes it easy to grow a supply for decoration. There is no need for special tools so they are simple to farm and use.
