Flower clouds are flower-shaped clouds that appear in the sky in every episode of the series.

Description[]

The clouds appear in the sky and come in various colors. When in Bikini Bottom, they appear normally, but when outside of the town, they appear stretched out and distorted. They are able to fall from the sky, as seen in The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water. They are Bikini Bottom's version of clouds.

Trivia[]

  • Despite appearing in every episode of the series, they make their briefest cameo in "Krusty Krushers," only appearing in one scene for a few seconds, where a stunt is performed that requires the stuntmen to launch into the sky.
  • They later make a short cameo only on the title card of "Plankton and the Beanstalk" while the rest of the episode has shown regular clouds.
  • The flower clouds are also seen in The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy episodes "Hog Wild." and "Scythe for Sale."

  • As seen in multiple episodes, such as "Have You Seen This Snail?" and "Bummer Vacation," the flower clouds co-exist with regular clouds in Bikini Bottom.
  • Despite being seen in every episode, the only episodes to refer to them by their name are "Pressure" and "Chimps Ahoy."
  • Since season 4, the flower clouds have been digitally edited rather than hand painted, thus the same assets appear in every episode since then.
