Casting bloom with a blessed silver sickle.

The Bloom spell is learned during the Nature Spirit quest, when Filliman Tarlock asks for a silver sickle which he then blesses.

A blessed silver sickle or Ivandis flail can be used to cast Bloom on a small bush, a rotting log, and a rotting branch in the Mort Myre Swamp to harvest pears, fungi, and stems respectively.

No runes are required for this spell, but the spell costs an average of about 30 or 40 prayer points to cast (though can always be cast as long as the player has at least 1 prayer point left). Prayer may be recharged prayer points at the Nature Grotto where Filliman Tarlock lived. The components created with the Bloom spell may be used in Herblore or may be added to a druid pouch, allowing ghasts to become fully visible and subject to attack.

The location shown below is the best place for gaining many druid pouches quickly. It is adjacent to 2 bushes, 3 branches, and 3 logs, for a maximum of 15 druid pouches worth of items per casting, and is north-west of the grotto next to the river. It is also next to a deposit chest unlocked by completing Deadliest Catch.
