Regarding the Dragon's Riddle Gather blossoms of the Bent Dance Bloom, found growing in Do'Krin

I have been all over the place, inside and outside. I have even completed the quests (given outside), and I can not find the Blooms. What am I missing please?
There is that "dark moon" phrase that I am concerned about, did that mean something?
1.However, I did manage to kill 15 monsters in the Do'Krin Monastery

2. I am not a PvP kinda guy and have not been ever since these online games i.e. WoW came out (I started playing on Wizardry on an Apple II many years ago and so solo PvE is really all that I am comfortable with, although at my advanced years, I guess that I need a guild that wants to help Seniors ;). ). All that been said, it took me some time to finally learn that Cyrodiil could only be entered via the battlefield PvP thing in order to get to one of the caves. I did not interact with any of the 'quest' givers and managed to get to Toadstool Hollow and get that treasure.
3. So finding the flowers/blooms would complete this thing. Your advise would surly help, Thank you

    The quest is wrong there - it's not in Do'Krin it's in Moonmont, up the hill from that wayshrine. You should see a quest marker there, not at Do'Krin.

    Alas, I was there before, following a similar Moonmont statement, and saw, nor found nothing.

    I just finished Reapers on an alt yesterday - the flowers were there in Moonmont, each has a white arrow marker above it. I had to kill about 5 of the Dro'Mathra standing around to get to them.

    That said, are you sure you haven't already done three of the tasks? That would cause the flowers to not be there.

    Well, at least you eliminated the possibility of having already done them all! If you didn't do the kill 15 beasts, maybe just do that one instead? It's pretty quick - I think I got all 15 in about 5 minutes around Researcher's Camp.

    You did it!! I just did not go up far enough North. Then one of them showed up on the Compass. After that I ran through all 4 very quickly.

    Awesome! So glad you got it sorted out. It would have helped if the quest text hadn't been wrong. Y'know, I should bug-report that....

    I submitted the in game support report the other day. :)
    However, it would be better if you did submit the bug report, that is what the game support people always say anyway.

    Is it wrong tho? the riddle says "From the Monastic Garden guarded by ordered claws, pluck that which blooms only in the light of the dark moon." that is Moonmont isn't it? it's a Garden belonging to the guys from Do'Krin and it's under attack by Dro-M'athra. so I don't see what's supposed to be wrong about the quest?

    When you talk to your allies (in this specific case, The Crow) this is the "riddle solution" provided:

    The Crow: Riddle of the Moon
    "Gather four blossoms of the Bent Dance Bloom, found growing in Do’Krin Monastery in Reaper’s March."

    To me there was/is a clear "Developer" disconnect between the riddle and what the Crow says.
    Along with the Support Request, I also submitted a bug report. If you agree with what we are discussing, please submit a bug report also. Clearly, the Crow should be saying Moonmont in her/his/its Clue, eh?

    Oh? she actually said the wrong thing? I didn't realize since I didn't talk to any of them, because I wanted to solve them myself. but yes, that is a problem then. also it's "her":
    The Crow was made from Ulfsild's Essence and up to that point of creation they were essentially the same person.

    I think that was what I read too, but when I got to Reapers March there was a big white circle around Moonmont so I just naturally went there.

    Yeah. After mutzing around Do'Krin again, and not seeing any indications of blooms, I finally opened the map all the way and headed for the marked area. I tend to just use the mini map, but sometimes that's just not a viable option....

    I click through quest dialogue so fast just to get it over with, these days I would have never been misled. There's a great big White circle over Moonmont that tells you to look for the flowers there when you get to Reaper's March anyway.

    Oh good point! I did not think about the fact that we always have to open up the full map since we have no add-ons.

    I had the map open, and I was even at/in Moonmont before I posted here. there was no circle on my map.

    Khajiit has done the dragon's quests on 16 of his 20 characters so far, and he has noticed that every time he goes for the blooms, none show up until he picks the one furthest away, in the very back of the building passed all the dar-m'athra.

    The past 4 or 5 times he had to pick that one, and then pick one near the building, to the north of it, right past the quest giver for the ring, and then the other flowers start spawning.

    Perhaps it was this way because others had picked the flowers and they had yet to respawn, but khajiit doubts that this was the case for all of the times he's seen this behavior.
