The video for Flower was released in 1988, directed by Mark Miremont, features the band performing the song amid scenes of the band members wandering around a city. As Soundgarden‘s first music video, the video was put into rotation on MTV‘s underground alternative music show, 120 Minutes, and subsequently helped the burgeoning Seattle grunge scene gain attention and exposure to a somewhat mainstream audience. The video uses the alternate BBC version of the song.
