Pyro Petals

Pyro Petals is a plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2. It is a seasonal plant, tied to Pyro Petals' Blazing Season in . Pyro Petals has a "heat value" of 100 when planted. This heat value is used to determine whether Pyro Petals should be casting her passive 3x3 damage aura or not, and how much damage that aura should be doing. The maximum heat value is 300, and Pyro Petals loses 1 heat every 0.3 seconds - the aura deals less and less damage the lower it drops until it goes under 20 when the aura will just stop working entirely, and if it hits 0 Pyro Petals will be stunned and become completely incapacitated for a minimum of 15 seconds, and will remain that way until heated back up - however, if left alone for an additional 45 seconds she will fade away.
Pyro Petals gains 1 heat every 1.2 seconds for every fire plant (excluding other Pyro Petals, unless they're in their Plant Food form) in a 3x3 area around her. Hot Potato can also be used on her to immediately add 50 heat (+5 for each level on that Hot Potato as well). This means you'll need 4 fire plants to stop her from losing heat at all, and you'll need more than that to have her gain heat. Going above 100 heat steadily increases the damage the aura deals, and once she reaches 300 heat she'll gain a drastic and noticeable damage boost, entering a more powerful "overheated" state that also extends the aura's reach from 3x3 to 5x5 tiles.
Pyro Petals explodes in a fiery... well... explosion in a Tile area when eaten at a heat value above 20. The damage is just double the current heat value. For example, a Pyro Petals with a heat value of 80 will deal 160 damage while a Pyro Petals with 250 heat will deal 500 damage. If the Pyro Petals was at 300 heat and in that powerful overheated state, rather than dealing 600 damage it will have an amplified explosion that reaches a 3x3 area and deals 900 damage instead.

===Plant Food Power===
When fed Plant Food, Pyro Petals sets her heat value to 300 permanently - it becomes fixed at this number, unable to increase or decrease. This means she will be in her overheated state until eaten.
===Pepper-mint Effect===
When boosted with , Pyro Petals will gain 1 heat every 0.3 seconds for the duration instead of losing heat. In addition, each fire plant will add 1 heat every 0.9 seconds instead of every 1.2 seconds.
