It's a glitch caused by the patch. You can't collect anymore until you get the specific side quest to collect them which causes them to respawn.

Thank you for the info. Can i use another methot to respawn them?

Not that I know of. 

[Boozey St John]

I'm finished the epilogue and I'm also stuck at 14 of those flowers. Is there a respawn time for them?

[Old Man With No Name]

Any more solutions?

[Darealbandicoot]

Unless you get the mission where you have to get them specifically, I don't know if you can make them respawn without unpatching the game and starting all over again.

Which side quest are you thinking of here?

 

I’m theorising but presumably Herbalist Challenge 9 could trigger a respawn?

 

Bit risky that as people may be a way off from activating that, I guess it depends on how much you’d have to re-do from loading an early save.

 

Ive had them glitch out on me and disappear on my first play through. So possibly this glitch has been there since the beginning. I simply had to replay from a save before I started “Dutchesses and other animals”. Fortunately that was just the one side quest I had to re-do.

 

Again I’m theorising as to the exact cause but I think this may be at risk of happening if you do another mission in between collecting them all. For me I did a side quest for the Mayor and afterwards the remaining ones had gone.

 

I think the safest thing is to save before you start each quest for Algernon and collect all the orchids first before doing anything else.

Algernons side quest is what I'm talking about.

I’m guessing then that Herbalist Challenge 9 (when activated by completing 8) may cause them to spawn too. Based on the logic that they are not they are not there at the start of the game but this requires you to collect one of each plant including the orchids.

 

But I’m not clear how game breaking this glitch is. Reloading an earlier save was my fix but that might involve a significant replay for some people affected.

^Oh dear that doesn’t sound good. Presumably you mean a chapter other than 2? Algernon isn’t available until 4.

[Cutter De Blanc]

Why the f*ck don't the Orchids respawn, who the f*ck coded some of this sh*t, monkeys? I'm not having problems doing herbalist 9, but now I feel like I'm going to have problems doing the exotics when I get around to it due to orchids collected for herbalist 9

 

 

"DUH LETS HAVE SOME PLANTS IN THE GAME THAT DON'T BEHAVE LIKE ANY OF THE OTHER PLANTS BUT ARE TIED TO BOTH A CHALLENGE AND A QUEST, SURELY NOTHING WILL MESS UP IF WE DO THAT"

 

If they can't properly code their sh*t in the first place, they need to stop with these overly complicated systems just for the sake of being clever

I don’t know. I must confess I thought they didn’t spawn until that point at all, but I’ve just checked a chapter 3 save file and that’s not the case.

 

Its possible the Algernon mission triggers a reset but that’s a fair way on from where you are. I wouldn’t do other challenges etc until it’s confirmed if this will make them respawn.

[DEALUX]

They take a long time to respawn but they will eventually unless the game is bugged.

Hard to tell if the game is bugged due to the overly complicated systems they have in place for everything.  Is it working right? Who the f*ck knows? It's magic.

Well this is a bummer, just activated that side mission last night, had already collected a bunch of them and was wondering why they didn't count already.

Has anybody tried saving near on of the missing flowers and re-loading? Worked for me with the compass bug, but that was an update or two ago.

[Old Man With No Name]

I will try mission replay to respawn them

[Jimbatron]

Has anyone affected submitted a ticket to R* by the way? This is gamebreaking if you’re going for 100%. Support won’t be able to fix it directly but it should be flagged as an issue so it gets patched.

 

Im currently doing a replay and on Chapter 3 will monitor when I get to the next stage. Will see if I can trigger it and work out if there is a cause. As I said, it happened on my first play through and it might have been the result of either camping nearby and sleeping or starting another side quest  when I had only half of them. But possibly post the last patch it’s now a bug running from the beggining.

I think its not bug. Rockstar just dont want us to collect all orchids and flowers before trigger the mission.

 

almost orchid/flower stopped spawning when 1 more left to complete request.

 

Example

3 dragons mouth orchid needed for request and there is 7 spawn point for dragons mouth orchid. When i collected two, every dragons mouth orchids in the game disappeared

Yes I’ve read online this is possibly the case. But I can also say from personal experience it is possible for this to bug out during the Algernon quest itself as it happened to me. Best advice I can give is save before starting and collect all the orchids in one go for each part. Then you can reload if it glitches.

 

As a side point, presumably you can’t get Red Sage or Wild Feverfew before the epilogue (for survivalist Challenge 9)?

[DEALUX]

There's a bug for that. I think there were 3 plants unique to New Austin\Blackwater.

 

 

 

 

[Lonely-Martin]

It says in the official guide..

 

'Rare orchids can be picked a single time per stage at each spawn point'

 

I'm all but certain I picked a few earlier in my exploring long before needed and when I met Algernon, I picked more from the same spots I'd already found. I'm pretty sure once you see him it resets these rarer plants to be picked again then.

 

Hope I read right and this helps.
