Don't try the actual pink petals - they are the normal herb loot pickup icon - red in fact, in the forest.
If you are have troubling spotting them - turn your ground clutter setting to '1', helps greatly!

What to do
Description
As you have seen, this grove is abundant with beautiful pink petals. As each petal ages, the tone deepens and fades. If you would be so kind, I am in need of a few petals that have freshly fallen. Only the ones that have just fallen will have precisely the right color I am after. From it I can forge an ink that will be breathtaking. Can you help me?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Welcome to Dawn's Blossom
Cho's off on another one of his adventures, and this one requires a big order of jade. I'm going to have to call in some favors. How 'bout in the meantime you introduce yourself to some of the locals. Kai Wanderbrew is a good guy to know, as is Master Windfur.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Quill of Stingers
To achieve perfect paint strokes, one must have the right tools. My own have fallen into disrepair, their bristles becoming as unmanageable as hozu hair. Have you seen the wasps throughout the Arboretum?
