Lex felt a lot of different things at that exact moment as he displayed the image of the flower. Regix, the floating orb that had kidnapped him via his system and promised to teach him whatever he wanted if he could complete a quest for him, wanted something called the Double Yin Death Metal Rose.
When he told Lex about it, he claimed that he already had the Double Yang Disaster Rose, and wanted the other one. At the same time, he gave Lex a lot of information on this particular flower, not only allowing him to recognize it easily, but also be able to transport it without issue.
Mithon's description of how the Redwinged Bull died upon touching the flower reminded him of it, but the chances of it being the same were too low, right? On the contrary, it was exactly because this was the Gilded Hollow that Lex suspected it might really exist here.
