              near the entrance and come out on the upper level, head forward

              all the subsequent blossoms.  You'll eventually reach the last

                   you come across (a "wrong path" meaning that the path
                   splits left and right and you take the path that the arrow
                   sign isn't pointing to)

Agate Tassels - In Ponc'Tan, near the entrance.  There's a small platform to
               the right that you can either Vine or make a sprinting double
