SG 553 | Desert Blossom

Origin Story

The SG 553 | Desert Blossom, released on September 22, 2021, arrived as part of The 2021 Mirage Collection alongside Operation Riptide. This skin features vibrant flowers spray-painted atop a dry, cracked base, embodying the in-game description "Nature always wins." Its visual identity is characterized by bright floral colors set against a muted, arid background. The flower motif is the most noticeable element in a first-person view.

Drop Chance

SG 553 | Desert Blossom is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. It has appeared across 8 tournament packages, most recently the Rio 2022 Mirage Souvenir Package, Shanghai 2024 Mirage Souvenir Package, and Stockholm 2021 Mirage Souvenir Package.


Souvenir Packages are awarded to viewers watching live Major matches on the corresponding map, not opened from cases, so Valve doesn't publish per-skin drop odds. Each package contains one item from The 2021 Mirage Collection, with rarity tiers drawn on a weighted system that heavily favors common grades, meaning Mil-Spec skins like Desert Blossom are a small fraction of total package contents. There are 3 other Mil-Spec skins in the collection competing for the same drop slot. New copies only enter the market when a recipient chooses to open their package, so supply trickles in over time even after the tournament ends.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 0.49. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

• Factory New ($5.29): The vibrant floral spray paint is pristine, covering the dry, cracked base without any visible wear.
• Minimal Wear ($3.45): Minor wear begins to appear on the edges of the weapon, but the colorful floral pattern remains largely intact.
• Field-Tested (No Recent Price): Scratches and abrasions become more noticeable on the weapon's body, particularly on the arid background, though the flowers retain their vibrancy.
• Well-Worn ($2.87): Significant wear is evident across the skin, with the dry, cracked base showing substantial degradation and the floral colors appearing faded in areas.
• Battle-Scarred (No Recent Price): The weapon displays heavy wear and tear, with much of the vibrant floral paint chipped away, revealing the heavily worn base beneath.
