Flowers
« on: September 12, 2014, 10:00:14 PM »
A thought and a question.

It would be super nice to be able to do some kind of flower arranging with the flowers you grow, even open a flower shop and work as a florist (nostalgia for open for business here)

A question

Can you at least put flowers into a holder of some kind? I haven't found any way to do it but I just thought I'd ask and see if it is possible. Or to give them to others? Any way to use them besides for a quick profit.

The uncommon flowers (roses / tulips / lilies) have emotion bonuses. What I can tell you for sure is that four flowering tulips give +2 to energized, and when I harvest the flowers that drops to +1. Roses have a flirty bonus, and lilies have a focus bonus. I'm still furiously growing and experimenting to see how many plants it takes to get the bonus, or if quality makes a difference. I have 4 perfect roses in a box that only give a +1 flirty, so I'm currently growing a vast forest of them to see if it's possible to get +2, and how many plants it would take.

I'm going out on a limb, but I guess an orchid might have an inspiration bonus. Maybe there's a flower that gives a playful bonus?

MINI UPDATE:
A single flowering rose / tulip / lily plant will give +1. Quality doesn't seem to matter, but being in bloom does. If you harvest the flowers, the effect goes.

Four tulips will give +2 to energized,
Eight roses to get +2 to flirty,
Eight lilies to get +2 to focused.
It is a little thing of my own. I call it "Heart Foam". I shall not publish it. Farewell! Patience, Patience, farewell!

So if you have a flower pot or box in the house you could have those emotions available in that room?
What?  Grannies can't play games?

I don't think the box works indoors, but yes. And a single normal quality tulip in a pot gives +1 energized. 4 of them - say one in each corner - would give +2. I'm not sure that would be worth it.

Ah okay thanks so much for that detailed response!

So there's no way to set them up in the house without using the pots though I guess?

Pots will sit inside...testing now if you can interact as normal (I'm trying both the pot and the box) boxes will -not- sit inside.

Right, so my plants don't need tending, but I'll try when they do.

Seems silly that it doesn't work after you harvest but thank you again for all the extra info, I will use this to my advantage in the future.

An inspiration plant in the house would be -amazing- for the chef wants/aspirations.
