They use the flower to heal their ailing queen, who soon after she gives birth to Princess Rapunzel. Gothel discovers that Rapunzels hair has the flowers healing properties but that attempting to take just the hair by cutting a piece from it destroys its power, so she kidnaps Rapunzel and raises her as her own daughter in an isolated tower.
