On the island, after the lifeboat, you have to take the flower from the jungle the first time you enter the jungle. I didnt take it the first time, but when I came back, Larry enters the jungle, when I try to take the flower it says that "you are too far away".. Please let me know how to get the flower.

There is a point during the automatic routine that Larry does where he pauses right next to the flower. Then you can "cut flower" if you have the knife from the restaurant.
