Flower Power was a limited Rare Gem in Bejeweled Blitz. It was a purple gemstone that resembled a rosebud. This Rare Gem was created as a way to celebrate Mother's Day. It was upgraded to Super Flower on May 8, 2016.

When the player began a game with Flower Power activated, one of two special starting layouts appeared. Both configurations included unique purple gems that resembled rosebuds. A rosebud functioned identically to a Flame Gem, except a bud cleared the middle and bottom surrounding gems and all the gems below and within its column instead. The base value for clearing a rosebud was 1,000 points. While Flower Power was active, buds replaced random purple gems throughout the game, and Flame Gems created using purple gems became rosebuds instead.

After the Last Hurrah, a Coin bonus occurred in which nine rosebud icons appeared in a 3×3 arrangement. When the player selected an icon, it revealed a numerical Coin value that was then added to the player's Coin total. The Coin payouts the bonus offered were 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 5,000, 8,000, 10,000, 15,000, 25,000, and 100,000.

Trivia

• Flower Power is a phrase coined in the 1960s used to describe the great political influence anti-war activists had on young Americans.
• When Flower Power was introduced, the rosebuds resembled tulip bulbs. The design was changed when Flower Power was re-released in May of 2014.
