When you stop to think about it, flowers played a significant role the Zootopia movie. The first time Judy encountered Duke Weaselton was right after he robbed a flower shop. The missing Emmitt Otterton was also a florist, and, of course, the savage predator plot revolved around a species of toxic flower known as Nighthowlers (Midnicampum holicithias).
And so, to honor of the advent of spring, we present an album of Zootopia fanart dedicated to the beauty of flowers.
Enjoy, and don’t forget to show the original artists some love by clicking on the source links.
We open with a pair of early concept drawings, showing the first versions the infamous Nighthowler blossoms. As you can see from the caption, they were originally known as The Mysterious Blue Flower.

Wrong color for a bride — a bridesmaid, perhaps?

I think this one may have been meant as part of a dream sequence. (Yep, those are Nighthowlers.)

In conclusion, we wish to observe that it is not impossible for Nick Wilde to actually become a flower. He is, after all, quite the narcissist.
