'''Bub-ulbs''' are plant-like creatures found in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]].

In ''Paper Mario'', Bub-ulbs give [[Mario]] [[Magical Seed]]s to plant them in [[Minh T.]]'s garden, revealing the way to [[Flower Fields]]. There are a total of four Bub-ulbs scattered around the world, which are found in [[Toad Town]], [[Mt. Rugged]], [[Forever Forest]], and [[Lavalava Island]]'s [[Jade Jungle]]. These Bub-ulbs, though, are buried underground, and all Mario and his party can see is a flower. Once Mario gets to Flower Fields, he meets several Bub-ulbs, all of which are in the main plaza of Flower Fields, where [[Wise Wisterwood]] resides. Bub-ulbs have different flower colors, from yellow to blue and from green to pink. When Mario first arrives, these Bub-ulbs are panicking due to the lack of sunshine in Flower Fields. When Mario restores Flower Fields back to its warm weather, Bub-ulbs personally thank Mario and even sing out of joy.

In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', two Bub-ulbs reside in [[Petalburg]]. One of them, [[Bub-ulber]], gives Mario a [[Dried Bouquet]] in exchange for a [[Hot Dog (item)|Hot Dog]] from the [[Glitz Pit]], after Mario completes his [[The food I want.|trouble]].

Although no Bub-ulbs appear in ''Super Paper Mario'', [[Francis]] owns merchandise that is based on them.

Bub-ulbs have a name structure similar to [[Bob-omb]]s.

*"''It's a flower. I guess that's pretty obvious... It doesn't seem to move like an ordinary flower, though.''"
*"''Oh! A Bub-ulb. Talking flowers seem weird... Didn't I hear that Bub-ulbs live in Flower Fields?''"
*"''He's one of the Bub-ulbs. Bub-ulbs are a type of talking plant. Aren't they hilarious? I think they come from Flower Fields.''"
;[[Mt. Rugged]]
*"''A flower, I think. But... Do most flowers move like that?''"
*"''Oh! A Bub-ulb. I don't know why, but they give out Seeds. Boy, if there are lots of these guys in Flower Fields, it must be a hopping place!''"
;[[Forever Forest]]
*"''It's a flower. I think... It doesn't seem to move like an ordinary flower, though.''"
*"''Oh! It's a Bub-ulb. The flower we saw must be the top of his head. He hands out Seeds. I'm willing to bet that these Seeds are really important. Let's plant 'em, Mario.''"
;The yellow Bub-ulb in [[Jade Jungle]]
*"''It's a flower. I guess that's pretty obvious... It doesn't seem to move like an ordinary flower, though.''"
*"''Oh! A Bub-ulb. I don't know why it's growing here. It's a very strange flower, don't you think? This Seed... I bet it's something very important. Important to Bub-ulbs, anyway.''"
;[[Flower Fields]]
*"''It's a Bub-ulb. It's one of many talking flowers in Flower Fields. Boy, it seems like as soon as creatures learn to communicate, they learn to gossip.''"
*"''You know, a lot of the flowers in Flower Fields will answer you if you talk to 'em. They're probably our best source of news around here.''"
*"''A lot of flowers live here, huh? They're so...so very... uh...beautiful, I guess.''"
*"''It's a Bub-ulb. The flowers around here hate cloudy weather. They need the sun's rays! I don't like the rain, either, because I can't play outside.''"
===''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''===
;[[Petalburg]]
*"''That's Bub-ulber. Doesn't it kinda weird you out to see a talking flower? I mean, where's his head? Is it the flower part? ...Or the bulb part?''"
*"''That's a Bub-ulb, a talking flower. I think he lives in Petalburg. I know he's a plant, but he makes more sense than these other crazy Petalburgers!''"
