talent in bloom?

I can't get the hang of exactly when this becomes available and when you have missed it. I've had 4 run through's now and only managed to pick it up once despite always being on the look out for it and also making sure to do the pre-requisite quests with Quina.

Currently, Quina is at the abbey, I have checked back with her several times after having completed the quests for maximilian, spoke to the duke, got rid of the stupid hat etc, I then completed the gold idol quest, the trial, slayed the griffin etc all the while checking back at the abbey. I am now in the second round of quests and am halfway through the wyrmking ring one.

Have I missedf it at this point, is there only a small window to get it active?

This quest should be avaiable after "Come to Court"

You did do "Lost and found"? (Assisting Quina in the Witchwood)

Otherwise you could try to raise her affinity with gifts, if the quest is somehow locked behind a affinity mnimum with Quina.

Yeah all the prerequisites, and she she lights up like a bulb when I talk to her but keeps cycling through the same dialogue. The last playthrough it just activated straight away but like most of my runs this one isn't working again.

This quest will lock-out if you go to far in the main story. best to do it before finishing the first set of quests provided by Aldus. I'm not familur with the lock-out point in the story but i've seen it happen on one of my PS3 saves (likely when you finish the first set of quests for Aldus or after finishing Reward and Responcability).

In order to trigger this, you seem to need to kill the xombies outside the abby at night (the ones in the grave yard). Not sure why but i've never been able to have Quina offer the quest to me or plant flowers untill all zombies are killed at least once. When they quest becomes available, you'll see her and another sister standing around a newply planted grouping of flowers to the right of abby's door (opposite side of the rift strone). You can loot these flowers with no detrament to the quest but once she is standing there amung flowers, she should offer the quest.
