The rainbow gem opens up a whole new world...and a whole new set of headaches.
Since you've found out what the rainbow gem, it's time to use it for what it was meant for. Head to Pinedale and go back to the portal, then use the rainbow gem at the portal. You'll be able to enter a whole new world...which is also another maze.
The flowers are teleporters, and you'll have to find some open ones in order to use them. For now, enter the tunnel. Make your way to the lower-right corner first so that you can get a health extension. From here, you'll need to find an opening that leads elsewhere, and that is west of the health extension.
Destroy the mushrooms to get the wooden heart, then use the teleporters to open up the rest of the teleporters in the aboveground maze. There will be another one near the goblin, who can be destroyed with the torch, even though he will eventually come back.
You'll have to go through more of the tunnels to open up more of the area. As for the teleporters, they will take you to a random location, and you'll want to keep going through the same one over and over again to open everything up. Keep in mind that the flower teleporters close when you leave this maze and that you will have to open them back up when you return.
There is an area with moving mushrooms with a passage to the west hidden by the flowers. This leads to a health extension.
The small flowers will surround and attack you, so stay away from them.
Back in Pinedale, use the wooden heart at the stump with the heart-shaped imprint in it. The first one will create a mound that you will need to put the yellow tulip in, and that will give you a silver star that is more powerful than the one you started with. You'll also get a password. The second one will create a mound you'll need to place the rose from the maze in, and doing that will net you a comb.
Head back to Rainbow World and open the area up. You'll need to use the comb to get past the small flowers, as the good looks you get from using the comb in front of them will stun them. This will allow you to get the third wooden heart. Head back to that tree and use the third wooden heart, then plant the white flower from the fairy's pond to get a snowflake. The snowflake will hit all on-screen enemies with a blast of cold weather and stun them, in addition to destroying all minor enemies on-screen.
Eventually, you'll have to make your way back into the tunnels and use them to get to a giant spider. You'll want to equip the magic mirror and the snowflake. Freeze the cocoon with the snowflake, then switch to the star and hit the frozen cocoon. Use the magic mirror to get the tiny spiders out of your way, then keep doing the whole snowflake-star-snowflake-star thing, occasionally using the mirror to keep the small spiders out of your way. You'll keep freezing the cocoon, but you'll also freeze the big spider every time, too. If you do get a spider on you, use the torch to burn it, as the spiders can burn through your health. Eventually, you'll defeat the big spider, and you'll get a fourth wooden heart and access to more of the tunnels. Use the snowflake to get rid of the red ants so you can get out of here safely.
From here, enter the tunnels entrance east of the small flower enemies guarding the wooden heart. You'll see some buttons and a gate, but you won't be able to get past the gate...yet. Instead, make your way through the tunnels until you find an opening in a wall in the middle of a path. Enter that, then take out the red mushrooms and get the flower behind them.
From here, head back to Pinedale, use the fourth wooden heart on the stump, and plant the flower that you just found. This will get you an hourglass, which you'll need to use to get past the gate, as it stops time for a few seconds when you use it. Now you'll have to do a bunch of backtracking to get to the gate, stand on the button, use the hourglass to stop time briefly, and get the fifth wooden heart and the red flower near it. From here, go to the opening in the lower-left corner of the maze. Use the hourglass to get past the dragon and get another health extension. This is the last one in the area.
Head back to the stump in Pinedale and use the fifth and final heart and plant the last flower to get the lightning bolt - your most powerful attack - and a password. Despite what I say here, we are going to have to go back...
