Don't Trample the Flowers is a level in Rayman Origins. It is the first of the two levels which comprise the Land of the Livid Dead, the game's optional final world. It is named for the carnivorous red tulips that can be found growing out of the earth, and which harm the player characters if they come into contact with them. The level's name is not given in the game itself, but is mentioned in one of the files on the disc.

This level consists of four sections. In the first one, Rayman must avoid Grannies, Tulips, and Darkroots. The area is clearly a scary place, resembling a cemetery in the foreground, while the background consists of towering structures connected by arching bridges.

The second area begins with Rayman being chased by bats. He must run from them, while avoiding Darkroots and Grannies while also keeping up with the Snake of the Dead, which he must use as a platform at times. After this, Rayman must run up falling bone-like platforms and coffins while avoiding circular blades and spiky creatures. (Strangely enough, there are strings of lights similar to Christmas lights hanging in the foreground here.) Once Rayman reaches the top, he then must keep up with a coffin that moves to the right while flipping end over end which he needs to use as a platform. Along the way, he must fight Grannies and stay ahead of the Darkroot coming from behind him.

The third area is similar to the first both in scenery and in the fact that Rayman must once again avoid Grannies, Tulips, and Darkroots. This area is more complex than the first area, though. Rayman must use large eyes to bounce over some obstacles, wall jump up between coffins at one point, and cross platforms that fall when he lands on them.

The fourth area involves more Grannies Rayman must fight, plus he must avoid flames coming from many directions. Shortly into the level, Rayman must helicopter down between two towers covered in tombstones while avoiding flames and at one point, a Darkroot growing down from above. Not long after this, Rayman reaches the boss, Big Mama.
