Bonflower launches "Bulb-bombs" that will damage and explode zombies in a 3x3 area one tile. The area where the attack lands are marked by a red dot. If the bulb-bomb land on a tile free of obstacles it will leave behind a mine that will Immediately arm itself and explodes in a 3x3 area on contact with the first zombie that comes near. When the mine explodes, it becomes leaves behind a fire that coves a 3x3 area damaging all zombie in the fire. After firing, Bonflower will be disabled for 30 seconds before she can fire again. Bonflower can also warm plants in a 3x3 area, and is immune to frost.
==Origins==
She is based on the Pyracantha (from Greek "Pyr" means "Fire and "Akanthos" means Thorn, hence firethorn) is a genus of large, thorny evergreen shrubs in the family Rosaceae, with common names firethorn or pyracantha. They are native to an area extending from Southwest Europe east to Southeast Asia. 
Her name is a portmanteau of "Bonfire" a large open-air fire used as part of a celebration, for burning trash, or as a signal. And "Flower" given that she's a flower.

==Strategies==
Compared to controllable plants like Banana Launcher, Bonflower launches her shots more frequently, targeting any zombies on the lawn makes Bonflower excellent for eliminating threat targets such as Zombie Kings, Fisherman Zombies, and Imp Cannons that would normally be heavily protected or unreachable. her main weakness is her slow reload time in between shots, which makes her an impractical choice in normal levels. If you bring Bonflower, be sure to bring a mix of attacking, defensive, and stalling/support plants to defend Bonflower and provide time for her to reload her shots safely.
Since Bonflower's projectiles leave behind mines on any empty tiles, try to aim for those said tiles, if you want to maximize the damage output. As well as addition area of affect.
Bonflower's high damage capability makes her a powerful artillery weapon: Most high health zombies such as Knight Zombies, Blockhead Zombies, Mecha-Football Zombies, and Cavalry Zombies can only survive up to two mines, while certain Gargantuars can take up to three (Jurassic Gargantuar take up to 5 hits). Her projectiles can not be deflected by any means, she's also effective against Jester Zombies and Parasol Zombies.

==Trivia==
*Her name is inspired by Bonflowers, a flower-like creature seen in the Mixels series.
*She was originally going to be an automatic plant.
*Despite being a member of the Bombard-mint family, Bonflower is immune to frost, and warms nearby plants.
**This is because her name is a portmanteau of "Bonfire".
**Her attack recharge time is unchanged regardless of what level she's on. This due to balancing reasons.
