回想這一路過來的狐獴大宅門，讓人體認到花花是個多麼成功的領袖，她凝聚了全幫上下，帶領著眾多狐獴渡過許多難關，包括天敵的威脅、環境的變化、其他狐獴幫的爭鬥、家族成員的背叛與分裂等等，最終讓鬍鬚幫成為一個狐口眾多、同心協力的強大族群。失去花花的鬍鬚幫讓人擔心，繼任的當家會是誰？能否成功領導鬍鬚幫繼續強大？虎視眈眈的札帕幫(Zappa)龐克(Punk)與胡迪尼(Houdini)是否趁機攻城略地？
當旁白憂傷的說道：「沙漠痛失它的玫瑰。」時，相信許多人都心有戚戚焉，以下是動物星球的悼文(In Memory of Flower)：
Gone, But Not Forgotten
Flower, star of Animal Planet's popular series, Meerkat Manor, is survived by loving mate Zaphod and many children including Mozart, Mitch, Buster, Suggs and Izzy. Flower leaves behind a devastated meerkat mob now without its fearless leader. From humble beginnings,
she created one of the largest, most close-knit families on the Manor. Affectionately referred to as the "Kalahari Desert Rose" by those who knew her best, she was a formidable leader and a noble mother.
Flower, born in 2000 and the matriarch to her family, the Whiskers, lived large for a 12-inch-tall meerkat. Under her reign, the Whiskers endured trials and tribulations, ranging from sibling
rivalries to violent clashes with the Commandos and the Zappas, their neighboring rival families. Despite the chaos, Flower remained a source of stability for her family, often making life-or-death decisions without breaking a sweat or cracking a claw. An inspiration to her tribe, this fearless female was no "girly-girl." Flower ruled her family with an iron paw but still revealed her softer side when indulging in cuddles with her newborns or playing in the dirt.
Flower might have lived to see future generations of Whiskers if her life wasn't cut tragically short when she came face-to-masked-face with the snake that tragically dealt her final and
fatal blow. Sadly, the Whiskers have felt the stinging bite of tragedy before, having lost Shakespeare, the heroic and valiant son of Flower, last winter.
The family has asked that all donations be made in Flower's name to the Fellow Earthlings' Wildlife Center.
