Hibiscus Flowers: The Second Collectible Set Explained
Hibiscus Flowers in Nintendo Switch Sports Resort: how the second collectible set works, where the flowers grow, and the outfit reward for completing it.

Hibiscus Flowers are the second of Wuhu Island's two collectible sets, and they work differently enough from Spocco Photos that players who have finished one often assume they have finished both.
What they are
Flower collectibles hidden around the island's leisure routes. Like the photos, they are unmarked, they are logged as you find them, and completing the set unlocks clothing that cannot be obtained any other way.
Where they grow
The placement follows the island's vegetation rather than its structures, which shifts the search toward the greener and quieter parts of the map:
- Resort gardens and planted areas near the plaza, where the flowers blend into scenery.
- Hill slopes and trails, off the skateboard's main lines.
- Coastal vegetation near the beaches and coves.
- Islet greenery, reachable only by water.
That distribution is the practical difference from Spocco Photos: the photos cluster around structures and points of interest, the flowers cluster where the island is quietest. A player who searched for photos by following landmarks will find the flowers by leaving them.
How to search efficiently
- Scout by plane at low altitude. Flowers are small, and the altitude that reveals a photo's glint can hide a flower in foliage.
- Sweep the green zones specifically. Do not re-walk the routes you used for the photos.
- Take the water route to the islets early. They are the least-visited part of the map and the easiest place to leave a set incomplete by one item.
The last point is the one that catches people: a set sitting at nearly complete for weeks is usually missing an islet item.
The reward
Completing the flower set unlocks an exclusive outfit set, in the same way the photo set does. Neither is sold in the Item Center, and neither appears in the per-sport achievement rewards. Between them, the two collectible sets cover a meaningful part of the wardrobe that currency cannot reach.
Photos versus flowers
| Spocco Photos | Hibiscus Flowers | |
|---|---|---|
| Placement | Structures, landmarks, points of interest | Vegetation, gardens, quiet ground |
| Best vehicle to scout | Prop Plane | Prop Plane at low altitude |
| Hardest to complete | Rooftop and high-ground items | Islet items |
| Reward | Exclusive outfit set | Exclusive outfit set |
Is completion worth it
For collectors, yes, and for the same reason the photo set is: the reward is unobtainable elsewhere. For everyone else, the flower hunt is the game's best tour of the island's quieter half, and the leisure challenges give the routes a purpose beyond collection.
