Arthur's flower jar?

[Kirk Lazarus 1,067]

Did I miss something... did anything in the story explain this or use this?  It's sitting there on his dang shelf, through every camp, letting you inspect it for the Nth time to realize nothing's changed.  I thought it was going to be used at the end of the game to signify something.

Always wondered that myself.   I've never found an answer, even in all those expert Youtube videos.

I assume it was a mission reward from one of the camp members he did a favour for?

Apparently, this flower only grows in California/Oregon and he keeps it next to his bed as it reminds him of his mother.

 

I found this out while playing dominoes

It is though-

 

It's the flowers that grow on Arthur's grave in the High Honor ending.

 

I guess Charles just tossed that jar in in there as well lol

Speaking of which, what species is it? I was guessing Butterfly Milkweed, but it's not an West Coast exclusive.

It was his mother's and that's a pic of his mother right next to it. It was explained in a mission somewhere.

He mentions it when playing Dominoes with Mary-Beth

Nice. Always wondered what the significance of that flower was. Ahhh, clarity.

As been said before, it reminds him of his mother.  Whenever arthur goes west he brings a new flower with him.

I'm pretty sure it is a bitterroot.  I read somewhere that they only grow out west and they look pretty similar.  It's also the state flower in Montana.

He says "California" and "Oregon", during the conversation over Dominoes?

I don’t know if it’s just me but it looks a lot like the flower the the guy plants in guardians of the galaxy Vol. 2... am I wrong??
