False Appearance.

While the swarm remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from normal flowering plants.
Spider Climb.

The swarm can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.
Swarm.

The swarm can occupy another creature’s space and vice versa, and the swarm can move through any opening large enough for a Tiny plant. The swarm can’t regain hit points or gain temporary hit points.

Actions

Multiattack. The swarm makes two melee attacks.
Acid Thorns. Melee Weapon Attack: +0 to hit, reach 0 ft., one target in the swarm’s space. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) slashing damage plus 2 (1d4) acid damage.
Loring Fragrance (3/Day).

The swarm’s flowers release an enticing fragrance that targets all humanoids within 30 feet. Each target must succeed on a DC 11 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by the swarm for 1 minute. A creature charmed in this way does nothing on its turn except move as close as possible to the swarm. A creature charmed by the swarm can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
