This task begins with Skal Nethus (map) in the Plane of Knowledge. He's an Erudite found at location -320, 1200, -111 (close to Franklin Teek, just east of the Guild Lobby).

You say, 'Hail, Skal Nethus'

Skal Nethus says 'Adventurer, you have not seen any strange apparitions in your [dreams] lately, have you?'

You say, 'I haven't had any strange dreams'

Skal Nethus says 'Thank the gods! Then it is not too late! After my last, uh, mishap with Dungeon Rot, I went on a walking [journey] across Norrath, to clear my head and think of my next venture. Eventually night found me in the Feerrott, and I laid my head down upon a mossy statue to [sleep].'

You say, 'What journey?'

Skal Nethus says 'Ah, you're interested in my journey? Well, it's quite a story. While traveling, I came across a dusty old book. It tells the story of a legendary [flower], the Udumbara, that blooms once every three-thousand years.'

You say, 'What flower?'

Skal Nethus says 'That's right! A natural artifact so powerful, it is rumored the Gods themselves limited its recurrence in Norrath. But there is a catch: the alchemist who wrote this book found a way to grow the flower artificially, though it is no easy [task].'

You say, 'What task?'

Skal Nethus says 'Hmm... where to start? You'll have to travel to many dangerous areas of Norrath and recover a series of [artifacts], some natural, some crafted by unknowns. Once you have, come talk to me and I'll instruct you on what to do with them. Be very careful though, mysterious natural forces are at work and will be looking for these artifacts too!'

You say, 'I'll find the artifacts!'

Skal Nethus says 'Very well, here is a list of where you can look for them. Good luck to you!'

You have been assigned the task 'Udumbara, the flower of legend'.

All items in this task are found in the hot zones that were introduced on June 19, 2013.

Mobs in these zones will randomly morph into a treant (does not change its name or abilities; only changes form into a small green treant). When that happens, that mob will drop the item.

NOTE: It's possible (not confirmed) that only specific mob types have a chance to morph into a treant. It's also possible (again not confirmed) that the mob type can vary by the day (or some period of time). Update to the NOTE: looking at bestiary entries of the past few years it really looks like these are zone randoms and not specific NPC (again not confirmed)
