You are able to pick up the required plants while mounted.
The [npc=62930]s that wander around this area are not aggressive, so collecting the blossoms should be quick and easy. Keep an eye out for the hostile [npc=63467]s, though.
Starts from NPC [npc=55646] in Hellscream's Reach.

Description
These creatures are everywhere - and very hostile! We'll need to deal with them before any more Alliance show up. This one's taken quite a beating, but I've still made some determinations about its anatomy. With the proper reagents, I'll be able to fashion a poison that should be quite effective against this species. In fact, I'll just need to modify a bit of the poison I have with me. Go and find me some viscous chlorophyll down by the water. Any semi-sentient flora should do.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Nazgrim's Command
You have a comfortable base of operations, no Alliance around for miles, and a few Horde veterans by your side. It looks like it's time to start painting this continent red. General Nazgrim should know where to start.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Missed Me By... That Much!
Listen, pal. I sent out a coupla supply drones from the gunship, and they've all been lost or crashed. Almost all, that is. One of 'em buzzed right through the camp here and crashed out by them waterfalls. How 'bout you see what you can do about bringin' the contents of that crate back here, hmm?
