Flower Seeds?

[Nathan]

So the gardening table lets you make new seeds for crops, has anyone found a way to either turn flowers into seeds or reclaim a flower plant once its grown? Would love to move some hybrids out of the way but don't want to have to make a new flower plot just to keep each one?

That would be nice, all I can do is move them. I feel like the reason there isn't seeds for hybrids because each one of them are unique with their own genes. It really going back to science class to learn the Punnett square for these hybrids and and default flowers. I gotten two same magenta flowers with different genes while breeding them, ect.

Flowers seem pretty useless. We should be able to make bouquets to sell or something. If I'm missing something please let me know. I think I only saw one pattern that required a pink rose... Selling them at the tables is not much profit.

So from what I understand flowers are meant to work in a different way.

The idea is that you start planting a few and then you don't pick them up and they will naturally spread new flowers overtime in your soil. It's used both to combine flowers to create new colors and also to plant more flowers without using too many seeds.
The other huge difference with vegetables is that you don't need to replanth flowers over and overs like most vegetables and they work all year round whereas vegetables (even non seasonal ones) need to be replanted every season no matter what.

Basically I would consider flowers as decorative elements for the most part that can also be harvested to make quick money if you need to.

The flower mechanic need to change, from what i understand, they wanted to do a simplified animal crossing flower hybrid method, but if we cannot put the flowers in and out our inventories, it become frustrating real fast. It makes no sense that we cannot develop seeds. It really feels unfinished in this aspect.

You can move fully grown Flowers like an furniture object. Simply go into building mode and pick them up. Place them down into a free flower bed.

If you leave the grid they snap back where you picked them up. Taking hybrid flower plants to other farms is impossible now, and i need the flowers out of animal reach, as now, they are annoyingly asking for attention, the fences wont keep the animals away, and the game day cycle is supershort to be wasting time. The flower plants should be able to be put in the inventory, like the rest of the plants.

Also with a lot of flowers planted, the method you speak of turns into a nightmarish jigsaw puzzle.

Definitely feel that not being able to buy the seeds, having to play with the hybridisation, is a nice little addition but feel once you have the plant should be able to make it into a seed or get it as a flower in a little pot so you can store and move ones you don't want. Only option right now is to just leave them sitting there taking up space (which if you want to keep even just 1 of each type is like 72 squares just to store one of each) or delete them and try to recreate them again if needed.

Not sure how many recipes around the farm may eventually need them but seems like they are needed for all the customised wing designs and maybe to buy some of the dye pallets as well. Beyond that think they are just meant to look pretty (wish there was options on how to display them at least).

Have begun this process and already have a bunch of the hybrids, problem I'm facing is once you have made the hybrid though that's it, they just sit there taking up space. No option to pot and store them, turn them into seeds. Given there is 6 different flower types and 12 different colours for each if you want to keep 1 of each that's 72 spaces on your farm just for them, very quickly getting silly if you want to keep 2-3 in case they are needed for something. Even worse if you want them on any other farm area have to create the hybrids again there...

Exactly this, I love the idea and was having fun with it until I realised can't move them, store them or even (main thing I expected) put them in a little pot and use them as decoration inside and outside the house :/

Worked out how to move them early but given there is 72 different types of flowers, and only 6 you can buy as seeds, was expecting to be able to store them instead of having to just destroy them or leave them out taking up space

I would also love flower seeds i want to move my home to one of the other houses but then i have to re make the flowers i want.

[Katenic]

You need flowers to purchase new colour palettes. Lots of reviewers went crazy about unlocking colours and being able to customise all the house objects in detail. I guess some people value this more than others

[Erin the Angry]

I'd really like to see the flower seed merchant begin to stock seeds for those flowers after you bring them to her so you don't need to keep them forever in case some new piece of clothing or gear or dye you discover needs them after you reclaimed the space.

[catbaloo]

If I pick the flower it leaves seeds. If I then go into build mode, I can reclaim the seeds and plant them anywhere there is a flower bed.
