The orange one shoots 5 pollen-covered tendrils, each 5 feet long; any creature struck must make a successful Fortitude save or fall into a coma for 1d3 hours. The plant's sensitive rootlets tell the yellow blossom where to find the slumbering victim; the yellow bloom bends over and shakes down a shower of sticky enzyme that will begin digesting the victim.  The red blossom extends tendrils into the helpless victim, draining body fluids and sucking up digested material.Pollen (Ex): Creatures struck by the orange flower’s tendrils must succeed at a DC 12 Fort save or fall into a comatose slumber.  Sleeping creatures must make another DC 12 Fortitude one minute later or sleep for 1d3 hours.  The save DC is Constitution-based.Enzyme (Ex): After a victim falls unconscious, the plant’s tremorsense ability allows the yellow bloom to bend over and shake down a shower of sticky enzyme that causes 2d4 points of damage per round until washed off (damage is reduced by 1 point per flask of water; complete immersion in water removes the sap in one round).Tubules (Ex): As the yellow bloom’s enzyme begins digesting the victim, the red blossom extends tendrils into the helpless victim, draining body fluids at a rate of 1d6 points of damage per round, then sucking up the residual matter after the enzyme has dissolved the victim’s body.</blockquote>
