Well... I've been playing on and off for the past few weeks.
Done a blossom only run. I hadn't delved into any mixed techniques so this feedback is for pure blossom. (basically vow of blossom run)
I really enjoyed the new setup, the way every blossom halves itself for decay and the later abilities to earn more decay for a slow but very powerful fungal build up is better than it how I used to collect over 300 frags for a finisher.
That being said, a few things need either fixing or reworking.

**Fatal Flora: ** Starting with the big one. Fatal Flora for me for some reason it only focused on preventing Iron Blossoms from halving. I have no idea if I'm doing something wrong here, and if there's a way to direct it into another type of blossom, or if it's meant to go to irons first for some reason. Either way, it doesn't match the description, or it's bugged. Not that I minded it that much, having iron blossoms locked in the 90 allowed for an OP Crushing undergrowth, and a cross Pollination spam for a sweet 90 razors...

Vicious Bloom: I don't know what that technique is doing at the pillar creation level, it's beyond useless. even fully upgraded, I don't see any usage for it. It gives 3 razors and 3 toxics and at pillar creation that just weak. At a full upgrade it gives either 5 razors or 5 toxic and 3 from the other which again... too weak. I'd get more output from an upgraded Cross Pollination (+17 each x3=51) and an upgraded Seed Razor Rose (+7=58) with a Toxic Petalage finisher than I would from a full stance of Vicious Bloom and Toxic Rose (+5 each x6=30) with an upgraded Seed Toxic Rose (+8=38). I can't think of a single stance that makes it worth using. Even ending it with a Toxic Petalage, I still get less than a Cross Pollination... It's beyond useless, and it needs a buff or a change.
Optional suggestion: Make Vicious Bloom double toxic/razor petals like cross pollination, and change cross pollination to iron/radiant petals.
