As a ghost, I was able to deliver a death flower without ever having one in my possession. As soon as I took the quest from the Death Obsessed Lenore Member, the Obtain a Death Flower step was ticked off. And no, I checked several times, and there was no death flower in my possession. Not sure if this is a bug or working as intended.
I too was unable to get the death flower from the starter flower seed packet mentioned in the tool tip. It then occurred to me to try opening a Farmer's seed packet at the cemetery and that did work to get a death flower.
However, that 1) isn't what the tooltip says and 2) doesn't unlock until a sim has higher gardening skill (level 7 per Carl's Sims gardening guide, mine had maxed the skill so I had to check), so would make it harder to do.
Best regards,
Jennifer
