homestead

[rigid oxide]

no these are pale white.

[karmic axle]

Uhmmmm, this picture my mind went into the couch with 5 black "flowers" behind the purple one.... I gotta head to bed. Cya tomorrow

[knotty ingot]

Wait I can make a black rose with a black tulip?

How does that even work my brain cant not compute

https://tenor.com/view/think-deep-gif-8192534208822008216

If that isn't the most game logic I have ever seen lol

[vale sundial]

fr?

[lavish ferry]

Question after I get enough black flowers how do my 2 roommates collect 15 for the achievement?

[vale sundial]

hydrangeas and roses can pollinate off of tulips?

[knotty ingot]

Thats what someone said above?

Idk why im asking

[rigid oxide]

just have them plant around your black flower as you did for the achievement as well

[rigid oxide]

yes all plants pollinate from each other (didn't expect it either)

[knotty ingot]

Omg that is a huge game changer I can get all my black flowers rn

Thought I had do to weeks of trial and error but this speeds it up

[rigid oxide]

If you really want max price homestead coins don't go for black directly. Look at page 4 of this spreasheet. I have the highest priced hydrangeas and their tulip counterparts.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oQeh3xKwLLgIdPFfFx_ecmGCMerFv_FVDrrceGZ3UzA/edit?gid=1651120241#gid=1651120241

So basically just go until you see one that is decently high priced up on that and then use that to parent the black hydrangeas if you just want max coins.

But also only go for hydrangeas if you are lvl 5 homestead and use the advanced fertilizer.

[karmic axle]

omg. I gotta have to replant my tulip then... the one I have is not even a near perfect its semi near perfect....

Whelp gotta restart I guess

[clever jolt]

I think these are black. I would love to have more opinions please!

[karmic axle]

so If I want the tulip gene 12, do I just restart the entire cross plot or do I keep my semi near tulip in the center again?

[karmic axle]

yes 2x

[clever jolt]

Thank you! Finally!!

[true nest]

hello, sorry to bother you, but are those black flowers?

[karmic axle]

no

[true nest]

alright, thank you~

[rigid oxide]

Just 5 last flowers till fully max price hydrangeas.

[karmic axle]

oh wait nvm the semi-near perfect tulip, I got can be used to create a perfect rose instead which is the dark blue one, so not everything is bad

[gray turtle]

are these all black?

[forest glacier]

Is this black?

[rigid oxide]

yes

[rigid oxide]

yes

[forest glacier]

Thanks!!

[knotty ingot]

I am only going for black k for each flower as a collection and will breed the others to sell tho

[gray turtle]

much appreciated (they're not mine but me and a friend are trying to cultivate em together XD)

[frozen musk]

is black?

nvm im blind

[rain abyss]

Omg I think i got one!

[rigid oxide]

yep

[compact coral]

is this black?

[quartz inlet]

Is it one ??? I really can't tell

[north saffron]

no

[north saffron]

yes

[proud folio]

black?

[shut zephyr]

Thxx

[rigid oxide]

pale white

[thorny shale]

is this black? i have bad eye

[long drum]

Left is red and right is pale red/pink

[thorny shale]

copy thanks!

[north eagle]

hi, can someone tell me how do I get the flower pollen? sometimes I have the option to but other times I dont

[jovial crescent]

Is this a black flower guys?

[sleek wigeon]

are these black?

[rigid oxide]

Pollen is a manual mechanic only doable by roommates. it's annoying because you must be online during the last 30min before the flower grows. The majority of flower pollination is done just by doing the basic cross formation.

[rigid oxide]

yes

[sleek wigeon]

thank you

[rigid oxide]

Camera -> settings -> Enable time freeze -> drag to middle.

[sleek wigeon]

i already did that for the pics

but if you think theyre black then i think we're good

[north eagle]

so if it goes past that I wont be able to collect it anymore?

[rigid oxide]

you collect it from fully grown, but you can only pollinate flowers during their last 30 min cycle.

[north eagle]

ic, thx I will try it next cycle

I only got here 15m before fully grown

[jovial crescent]

so definitely not black right? :/

[rigid oxide]

that is the growth stage, so pollination stage should come in 6 minutes although with that setup manually pollinating won't accomplish anything as they are already pollinating off of the center flower.

[rigid oxide]

yeah pale white it seems.

[north eagle]

ohhh

gotcha gotcha

[tired marlin]

How do you see if they are black?

[rigid oxide]

mostly just by sight If you are colorblind you can go through and try to find the ratios using a screen color picker like this: #homestead message

[tired marlin]

But these don’t look black at all? They are all red blue lavender?

I’m very confused I’m not colorblind

[rain abyss]

The game calls them black but they are not really black colored lol

[rigid oxide]

the very front one matches the black ratios.

yeah they are pretty much just a pure gray color

[tired marlin]

lol so it’s gray omg ok

[rigid oxide]

with slightly less red than green/blue

[lucid holly]

Black flower right?

[rigid oxide]

put it in the survey suggestions to make them actually black they would look cooler and be less confusing.

[rigid oxide]

yep

[tepid kelp]

are these black

[obtuse osprey]

hey guys is this black?

[lucid holly]

nope

[tepid kelp]

ty

[rigid oxide]

pale white

[obtuse osprey]

NOOOOOOO

[candid cove]

gray?

[lucid holly]

black i think

[rigid oxide]

yeah black (gray) flower

[candid cove]

ty

[north eagle]

mind tell me rarity of each or do I have to pick them up to know?

[rigid oxide]

surrounding are all greens, middle is either blue or purple (probably purple).

[north eagle]

so the color is somewhat related but not exactly one color

[rigid oxide]

Its a Gene thing where rarity is essentially how close they are to black, and the color they have is based on which genes are recessive (cc) vs dominant (CC/Cc/C_).

[north eagle]

oh thx that actually helps a lot

[rigid oxide]

just beware the colors of the icons don't directly match the colors when they are in the ground.

they mostly match but can be several shades off due to lighting

[north eagle]

but if I use this it should be quite accurate right?

[severe lava]

black?

[rigid oxide]

The shades from the icon itself doesn't perfectly match them in the ground. (Few shades off generally). But that camera does help in identifying them.

[rigid oxide]

Middle is probably dark blue, right is pale white, bottom is light purple.

[willow pier]

Are these black flowers, or are they too dark to be black (which doesn't make sense, I know) 😅

[rigid oxide]

Black

[willow pier]

Thanks! Finally got there

[modern epoch]

Black?

[short pendant]

yes

[hallow hazel]

hello are these black?

[hardy warren]

My eyes aren't betraying me right

I see 2 black flowers, one on the left of each center on the left 2?

[tepid warren]

Are the left and right ones black flowers?

[short pendant]

i think no

missing the blue-ish tint

[short pendant]

ye

[tepid warren]

ty

[haughty cairn]

Is this black??

[hardy warren]

this is black so I don't think so

[haughty cairn]

Okay ty

[daring quartz]

hiHI, is this black?

[hardy warren]

Unfortunately not, it looks like 5 or 6

black is a lot darker of a color

[daring quartz]

Ok thanks, this will be a pain for people who can't see colour well like me it seems 🥲

[hardy warren]

you can use this as a ref, this is black fs

[young citrus]

I think I finally have 2 that are black!

[rigid oxide]

yeah

[rigid oxide]

yes

[jovial crescent]

guys, if i share homestead with my friend the fields will be share too? like all of us can harvest the same crop?

[fickle seal]

thats my question too lol. i'm alr done with the achievment but my roommate isn't

[rain abyss]

Only the person who planted it can harvest

So you can set it up and leave empty fields for them to plant in

[fickle seal]

ohh okay

thanks

[fickle pebble]

is this black

did time freeze and everything

[jovial crescent]

so, its bad for black flower achievement?

like, just one of the five members can plant at once?

[rigid oxide]

no, white or light purple.

[rigid oxide]

yeah and the number of fields is limited on the homestead level, not by the amount of people in the homestead.

[scarlet burrow]

how to get homestead EXP apart from daily commission?

[shut gull]

doma is a legend

[safe fox]

is that the black flower

[rigid oxide]

no

[rigid oxide]

Camera -> settings -> Enable time freeze -> drag to middle.

[rigid oxide]

nope light purple and light blue though, so if the light purple was the parent in this last growth cycle, then it should be able to make a black flower.

[safe fox]

I did not havest the purple in the middle

and let the sides grow

[rigid oxide]

then keep it up, very likely to get a black

[safe fox]

so I do the same thing? havest the sides?

[rigid oxide]

yep, just harvest and replant

[safe fox]

alright thanks

[fallen juniper]

https://i.imgur.com/Xnix2gD.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/r7yhhOw.jpeg black?

[rigid oxide]

just pale white

[fallen juniper]

cooked

[hasty pendant]

this time plus having to pay when crafting them yourself is wild. dont think ill build in this game.

[pine talon]

is this a black flower tulip?

[rigid oxide]

light purple

[pine talon]

I have the enable time freeze on at the middle

fkkk

this is not fully grown im assuming thats white right

[vagrant prawn]

is either one of these a black tulip?

[rigid oxide]

the color it shows during that pollination stage changes when it grows:
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1427671944437956638/1431687260092370985/brave_QPZpScBdck.gif?ex=68ffa3aa&is=68fe522a&hm=2ee78c5ae08dec323b5eb5abb2a910ebab9dca97d91226f43e25e373fa6d9a97&=

[pine talon]

ahh ok so wait for it to fully grow then try again

[rigid oxide]

right one

[dense ingot]

Is right one black or nop?

[rigid oxide]

pale white

[dense ingot]

Thank you

[vagrant prawn]

thx

[white knot]

after having a black flower in the center, should I keep replanting the others flowers seeds or recycle them and get new ones?

[scarlet burrow]

not black, right?

[rigid oxide]

pale white

[rigid oxide]

just replant, they get closer to black over generations

[white knot]

ty

[buoyant fern]

🥹 black?

[rigid oxide]

yes

[pine talon]

must be nice... i have like 5 purple plots now no black flower..

i see no hope

no hope at all

[raw charm]

around how many hours does the polination stage happen?

[rigid oxide]

its the very last stage. 30 min for tulip, 1hr for hydrangea (not sure on rose).

[scarlet burrow]

45min for rose

[raw charm]

Thats time remaining right?

[rigid oxide]

no, its after growth.

[raw charm]

Or after?

Okay thanks a lot

[short pendant]

can I fertilize the plots around my black flower?

or will that ruin the process somehow

[knotty ingot]

Let's go first try and got black roses

Without cross breeding

[pine talon]

must be nice

[hallow hazel]

this isnt black or am i wrong?

[clever jolt]

Started with 0 today. Now i have 7! i think xD

[rigid oxide]

yeah, so long as the center flower is fully grown already you can use fertilizer on the surrounding.

[rigid oxide]

pale white

[short pendant]

thanks

[sturdy ether]

Rename the chat to farm land at this rate o.o

[silent basin]

are these black flowers?

[livid venture]

The one on the right is

guys, so after i have 3 black flowers, i can start harvesting?

[silent basin]

oOOOOOo thank you! time to make some black flower babies

[livid venture]

or should i leave it? till all of them are black

??

[silent basin]

i think you gather all the non middle ones to make more iirc

(not an expert)

[raw charm]

Whats cross breeding?

[cyan oyster]

When i grab the black flowers it doesn't add to the achievement? is there any other way to track it?

[vapid comet]

hello is the middle black?

[jaunty crescent]

no

[vapid comet]

ok ty

[pure dove]

glad to see everyone here getting all their black flowers. Unfortunately.. Im on my 7th gen and no luck. Serious question, how long did it take for yall? hagd! o/

[swift wren]

I got lucky and my first purple flower had a black « child » which then made a bunch more

If you keep getting nothing you can always scratch your center flower and put a new purple rarity one in

[quick igloo]

this is the color you're looking for, remember to not pick it up if it appears as they don't give seeds

[pure dove]

nice.. and yea, thats what I did. for my 7th gen I try to switch up the middle and see if the outcome will be different, fingers crossed it does. Thank you for the tips!

[jaunty crescent]

does anyone know if genetics can be passed from tulips to roses? first batch 😭

[jaunty crescent]

would you happen to know if you can just take the black pollen from someone else's homestead

[fleet gust]

i think im blind, but isn't the one in the middle black?

[oak marsh]

double checking

[ripe sail]

is this a black flower?

[rigid oxide]

yes

[lofty atlas]

ye fk it i reset my field

[rigid oxide]

Need to see daylight time. (camera -> settings enable time freeze -> slide to middle.
(But based on the color at night it is probably white/ pale white).

[lofty atlas]

pretty sure i did have proper flowers but they were just bad juju for me

[rigid oxide]

pale white

[lofty atlas]

like what is the probability of losing 12+ generations with an aabbccddEeff flower

[rigid oxide]

yes

[lofty atlas]

nope

[fleet gust]

it looks very white now

ty

[lofty atlas]

keep fishing

[ripe sail]

[quick igloo]

yes

[rigid oxide]

12.43%

(to be exact)

[lofty atlas]

really that high? fk

i guess ive lost worse odds than that

idk i kinda lost my mental and reset the field put both flowers aside and fishing for a purple rarity ee flower to repollinate it

gonna start fresh and try to maybe temporarily ruin it by introducing a diff dominant to fix that one cause im scared i mislogged it at this point but thats high enough to just be a normal outcome even with a proper flower

even if i do make like a CcddEeff flower again though wouldnt be too hard to get it back to purple rarity hopefully

[rigid oxide]

that is worst case where it assumes you start off with EE children, if you start off with Ee, then its 6.4%

[lofty atlas]

im most likely starting off with EE children anyways cause it takes multiple generations to usually breed out the dominants in CcDdFf as well (50% chance each time) and thats just more odds for the children to either be EE or Ee

so hard to get out of EE once you're there too

[carmine bone]

are these black flowers?

im blind so probably not right

it looks like grey or white

[lofty atlas]

not it

[native wave]

please help me confirm that both pictures have black in the middle and identify which blacks I got atm

2nd pic

[valid terrace]

what does manually pollinating do?

[valid terrace]

all look white, sorry

you are looking for a slate color

[native wave]

thank you for helping, I saw some examples I really don't know how you guys figure them out

[valid terrace]

I haven't obtained any of my own yet, I've just seen enough flower experts say which is right

although hopefully I should get some soon, I'm not sure how genes work

I know I want them all to be recessive but I don't know what would make them recessive

[mystic aurora]

omg is this it?

its like blackish

[valid terrace]

the black flowers are slightly blue

check pinned

[mystic aurora]

i checked but i have color deficiency

Hi I'm new, how do I unlock homestead? I have to give him the materials, but how do I get those materials? Please help, thank you

[umbral zinc]

No

[quartz raptor]

Quick question - can I replant the seeds after I have a black flower pollinating and non black grows? Or do I need to destroy/re-plant new seeds around it each time?

[umbral zinc]

If u have a blck flower that polinates just replant

The black flower will "tint" all flowers black over few generations

[umbral zinc]

80% sure its black. But lighting makes it hard for me to say 100%

[rain cave]

Which one is the black one? Goin' crazy trynna guess

[umbral zinc]

None

Black flowers are grey. Not blue, not purple and not pink

[rain cave]

The grind continues

[clever dirge]

Hii, im a bit color blind, if someone can help lol

[umbral zinc]

None

[clever dirge]

thank you!

[valid terrace]

what's the difference between these?

is the curved one better?

im just going to assume the curved one is the one I keep since it's worth more

[umbral zinc]

Yes..kinda...doesnt really matter

[valid terrace]

I don't see why they'd be worth different amounts if they didn't matter

[umbral zinc]

Because the price increases with more recessive genes. The right one has recessive a while the other dont. But for making black ones ot doesnt matter. I assumed by asking if one is better u meant for making a black flower

[valid terrace]

ohh I see there's more genes than just the colors

well after I make black flowers I'm planning on changing it to money farm

[umbral zinc]

Ye
aa = curved
AA = straight

bb = no leaves
BB = with leaves

So. Curved, no leaves black woild be worth the most

[valid terrace]

do the a and b genes affect the rarity

[umbral zinc]

Idk

[valid terrace]

hmm

[dapper radish]

None

this is the color of black flower

[velvet narwhal]

do i just keep replanting till i get black? everything is purple tier now

[ocean hamlet]

You can either gather materials to craft the items or buy them from their craftsmen in town. If you click the item in the quest log, a menu will come up where you can see how to obtain it as well.

[hardy warren]

No it doesn’t

[grim reef]

Thank you

[urban yacht]

are these black flowers

[wind silo]

They are

[scarlet burrow]

no black, right?

[wind silo]

No black flower yes

[visual plume]

Are black flowers just a chance? Or is it a specific pattern you have to use to get them?

[velvet narwhal]

do i just keep replanting?

or new seed

[valid terrace]

Ty

[noble fjord]

Is this bottom middle one or top right black?

[rigid oxide]

top right

[noble fjord]

And would it be on subsequent harvests that they are black or is it just "higher chance"?

[rigid oxide]

you don't get seeds from black flowers.

[noble fjord]

I know, I mean from the adjacent plots

Or can they just not pollinate at all?

[rigid oxide]

if you surround it with 4 in a cross setup like the above screenshots, then you will eventually make all the child flowers black

it will take multiple generations unless you get very lucky

[noble fjord]

So the seeds remember what they were prior?

[pine talon]

On mobile cuz at work is any1 able to tell of that's a black flower

[humble vessel]

any black flower

[noble fjord]

No

[visual plume]

I'm so confused

How do I get my first black flower

[pine talon]

just double checking thats a black flower right shade looks right to me

[frozen musk]

explain these letters for me pls like why is it c d e ff etc? im illiterate

[rigid oxide]

yes

[pine talon]

ty doma ❤️

[rigid oxide]

basically 4 genes make up color. capital letters mean dominant trait (further from black). Genes can be dominant/recessive i.e. Cc where they show as dominant color, but can breed recessive children.

[frozen musk]

thank you very much

[frozen musk]

so if i understand i need to rebreed till i have more recessive genes? so in my case i keep replanting my purples?

[sharp canopy]

Making sure that these 3 are not black flowers ? x.x

light purple

[rigid oxide]

yes

start harvesting for the achievement? (leave at least the center so you can create more).

[sharp canopy]

Thank you ;-;

alright ty

[mystic aurora]

Any black flower? Im on mobile

[midnight bluff]

hey, sry im colorblind, are these black or are they counting as blue?
-# I wished the game would tell me what color it is before harvesting T-T

[rigid oxide]

no mostly light purple and white/pale white.

[rigid oxide]

light blue

[mystic aurora]

Sad. Thank you

[modern crow]

please tell me these are black flowers

im kinda blind

[rigid oxide]

yep thats them

[midnight bluff]

ty

[carmine gazelle]

is the right one black ?

[rigid oxide]

no looks like light green (purple rarity).

[exotic crypt]

are these black

and those right ones also maybe

[rigid oxide]

yes and yes

[scarlet burrow]

Doma, have you seen your RGB trick ever fail for l ight white'ish flowers? G&B > R

[exotic crypt]

So do I just put on of them in this center and the other one in the center of the other cross?

[hallow hazel]

these are not black, are they?

[carmine gazelle]

ty ty

[rigid oxide]

white

[rigid oxide]

those ones right there are the closest to failing it but at their brightest spots, the red is higher than blue.

those are like red=green > blue so fail the test.

[scarlet burrow]

haha, Deer's is the first that i noticed not applying. been checking for a while. like you say, must be lighting

[exotic crypt]

now im balling

also got this

[rigid oxide]

Basically always go to the highlight/reflection of the sun. if red ever > green or blue its not black. And Black is typically green/blue = red + ~10

[rigid oxide]

yeah then just plant and replant till children turn into black flowers

[exotic crypt]

[ocean stream]

when decorating the expanded interior, the staircases are not as tall as the walls. How are people building getting around this to build up to the second floor?

[ocean hamlet]

You can sink your walls into the floor.

[ocean stream]

that was my first thought, too, but I was concerned it would make the second floor have a strangely tall ceiling as a result. but, if its the only way...

[peak furnace]

yes

[ocean hamlet]

You can also place the ceiling underneath the top of the partition to maintain steady height across floors.

After many unsolicited messages, I've received permission from enough people to create a video showcasing homestead creations. Now that it's happening for sure, I want to open it up to anyone else who wants in

If you have any decorating you want to show off, let me know so I can include it. It doesn't have to be a lot--no one has had the time or resources to create the homestead of their dreams yet.

[ocean hamlet]

16 fields is normal. You start with 8, then have 12, 16, 20.

[ocean hamlet]

No

[proper thunder]

weird I thought it was 15 max, but I see it's because I only do groups of 5 where my confusion stemmed

my heart sank when I saw the extra field. I was like welp GG

[eternal drum]

help pls, black?

[frigid token]

is there a point to having black flowers after getting achievement (aside from roommates ofc)

[frigid token]

compare with pinned image

[olive trail]

i think the slightly longer pillows fixed the bed somewhat

[vale compass]

I need to get around to decorating the inside of my house

Just focused on getting the homestead leveled to 8 first, by just planting flowers etc

[olive trail]

i only got mine to level 3 rn lol

level 8 seems so far away TwT

[vale compass]

I'm like 100 points from level 4

But I'm planting roses now, so I can make get a few black roses to plant around etc.

I just hope they do something with the homestead where we can get trophies from bosses that we kill. Like they have a small chance to say drop a piece of their hide or a weapon, which you can hang on your wall.

[olive trail]

i was hoping they'd give us more figurines when we beat the field bosses

my shelves are looking kinda empty

[ionic barn]

this one is black right?

[urban mist]

is anyone else having the homestead achievment bugged? Yesterday I had 8/10 black flowers and today I harvested 4 but it stills says 8/10

[fossil bane]

yeah I just harvested 4 and still have 0/10 on the achievement :(

[urban mist]

aw 🙁

[twilit sinew]

chat I'm colorblind are those black

[urban mist]

I'm not 100% sure can u get a photo with time freeze? and more close

[fossil bane]

they definitely are black, don't worry

[twilit sinew]

sa

[urban mist]

Yeah okay!

[twilit sinew]

oh bless

finally

ty

[mystic aurora]

Any of this are black? Im i doing something wrong

[vital isle]

black?

[ancient aspen]

is this color right?

[marble vapor]

Hello everyone, can anyone help me? If so, I just need to move it to the center and never harvest it, right?

[forest sonnet]

where do people get this and what is it?

[heavy dust]

these aren'tthe black ones right?

[forest sonnet]

and is there a way to preview furniture before crafting/buying the recipe?

[forest sonnet]

nop

they have to be muted gray-blue

[spare berry]

last tulips finally is black..
time to upg to Rose now~

[exotic crypt]

🤤

first gen after getting my black flowers

4 in this cross 2 in the other

[dark sorrel]

black?

[fossil bane]

Yup

[minor obsidian]

ive invited em but its bugged and i cant reinvite

what do i do

[magic creek]

are they apparently dark, are they black?

[chilly lark]

Hii can I get a confirmation these are black??

[steel ether]

None of these are black right?

[fossil bane]

not black, sorry!

[fossil bane]

those are black!

[fossil bane]

correct, no black flowers there

[trail pawn]

🙏

[velvet narwhal]

hey everything is now purple tier. do i just keep replanting same seed?

[earnest halo]

CHAT behold, the highest single selling flowa

[radiant cape]

SO IVE BEEN PLANTING FOR 4 DYAS

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG GNG

[simple lark]

i got that because i bought the seating item from the seabreath shop. but i dont understand how to use it either.

[forest sonnet]

Was it freeze the moment?

[keen dirge]

It is done

[neon ocean]

Any?

[simple lark]

I think so. I'm not online rn. Looked like a romantic 2-seater with a wooden ceiling

[scarlet burrow]

i think i just got my 1st black tulip (right side), yes?

[round cedar]

u got it!

time to put them in the middle

[scarlet burrow]

one down, many to go

[neon ocean]

Am I overcooking?

[round cedar]

the others are easier to obtain, and each collection can give you 1-3 flowers

[thorny shale]

can i recycle those non white/black flowers? (i still dont get how this flowering works)

[scarlet burrow]

only recycle if all 5 fields have the exact same flower color

[sweet tartan]

is this what i think it is

a two in one

[round cedar]

yes it is!

[sweet tartan]

never stop gambling ❤️

[round cedar]

[thorny shale]

how to make them same color? i always get red/blue but barely white not sure what im doing

[sweet tartan]

now that i have 2 black flowers

i should be getting more black flowers even faster right

if i put them in the middle

[tacit otter]

is there black flowers

[scarlet burrow]

if i have a black flower in the middle, i can fertilize+water the 4 on the outside of the cross, right?
since the black in the middle is already grow, it will pollinate the outside faster?

[round cedar]

yes

[round cedar]

they are not :c

[thorny shale]

if i achieved same different visual color do i just replant them and not touch them? (i have purple quality in the middle already)

[round cedar]

yup! u can make two crosses and be very fast

[round cedar]

what do you mean by same different visual color?

the ideal is to always have a purple in the middle and blue quality on the sides.

[oblique shore]

any Black?

[thorny shale]

different flower color. because on the guide it didnt say if its different color just replant or recycle etc.

[fleet gust]

is it black?

[round cedar]

replant only if they are all the same color

[round cedar]

it is a black one!

I advise you not to collect those two blue ones and the white one

[fleet gust]

is it okay if i dragged the black tulip away?

so i won't mess it out

[round cedar]

AAAAAA

[fleet gust]

DID I SCREWED OUT?

[thorny shale]

i just did lol xd

[tacit otter]

thank you 🙁

[round cedar]

You must always put they in the center, they do not give the seed back

[fleet gust]

oh but uhh

i can still do that, right??? i just wanted to move it away

[round cedar]

yes but make sure to have a purple one in the center and blue quality on the sides.

[fleet gust]

idk if the black one is a purple-blue tier tho...

i do have one nearby but that means that i have to move that one too

[round cedar]

black one is a yellow/gold quality

[fleet gust]

so it's okay if i move the blue one?

[round cedar]

yup!

[fleet gust]

tyty

just in case, cuz im kind of dumb

[round cedar]

Wait! You mean you didn't collect it? You just moved it the field?

[fleet gust]

right one gave me a blue tier earlier in the morning

[fleet gust]

yup

[round cedar]

OMGG u scared meeee

[fleet gust]

LMAOOO

[round cedar]

AJAJAJA

u all good! put that one in the middle

you can move it without any problem

[round cedar]

When you finish your achievement, you can use the tulips to make black flowers from other seeds and generate more coins.

[fleet gust]

im quite sad that there's a placement limit

i would loved to have a flower field full of black flowers

[round cedar]

yeah right?

[fleet gust]

this is how it's looking so far

[round cedar]

today I paid for a 60k expansion and I didn't notice any difference! I feel cheated

[fleet gust]

sad days

[round cedar]

[autumn island]

Hi i have been growing flowers for about a week and im just struggling can someone dm and help guide me bc i am lost 😭. I got up to blue tulips but they weren't producing black so i restarted and now i have the white purple rarity and they are also being difficult.

[nova wasp]

any other culinary chad willing to inform me what this actually does cause it does not boost growth

[karmic axle]

Got a perfect rose now, so now I just need perfect tulip and mandragoa

Oh and I collected a perfect legendary rose by accident, but oh well XD

[karmic axle]

Its litterally getting lucky with the purple rarity in center, not much else to do tbh

[maiden wren]

https://gyazo.com/2b1581962fb381439133fe3197e56e83

8 plots worth!! woot

[fleet gust]

huge!

[glossy plaza]

im only getting purple flowers now </3 what should I do?

[ocean hamlet]

There's no true preview, but just about all furniture exists in the game world somewhere. If you have a specific piece you want to see, I can probably find it.

[karmic axle]

replant and restart keep the center

[glossy plaza]

ive replanted like 2/3 times I think

2

[scarlet burrow]

is that all?

[glossy plaza]

still only purple :( not even green

is it normal?

[scarlet burrow]

i got first black flower on 6th generation

[karmic axle]

Welcome to RNG

Got mine after 4th generation

Black Rose got after 2 generation with a semi near perfect tulip, Was curious to see the gene and it was pure perfect so RIP XD

[scarlet burrow]

move highest rarity to center (purple rarity of flower, not purple color of flower)

[glossy plaza]

yeah im only getting purple rarity flowers

[forest sonnet]

: o, ill keep it in mind!

[scarlet burrow]

better than green 🙂 keep going

[karmic axle]

Actually now that I think about it, I think you need to plant new seeds

Won't 2 of the same flower beside each other to become the same again?

[scarlet burrow]

new seeds onlyif all 5 in cross are identical color

[glossy plaza]

my first black flowers were 1st generation but i didnt believe it so I harvested </3

[karmic axle]

If left is the same as center it will just become the same again no?

[pure heath]

this is black flower right?

[rigid oxide]

yes

[pure heath]

🙏

[small drift]

that should be it, right?

[rigid oxide]

yes

[small drift]

god bless

[compact coral]

is this black?

[karmic axle]

yes

[compact coral]

yoo tyty

[clever dirge]

Hi! I’m colorblind I need help

[karmic axle]

Right is yes

Oh you color blind sorry let me just make sure there is no mistake

[clever dirge]

Thank you so much!

[karmic axle]

Inside circle is black

[unborn basalt]

just wondering, can i take the black flower pollen and use it on my other cross ? will I get a black flower in the middle ?

[scarlet burrow]

i would continue until the cross with the black flower gives another black flower and then move it to the center of another field

[daring quartz]

hiHI, can any tell me if any is black. Is hard for me due to partial colour blindness 🙏

[scarlet burrow]

wait for second opinion but i don't see any black

[unborn basalt]

ah I kinda dont want to touch my friend's cross haha

she gonna be angry 😂

[rigid oxide]

none

[daring quartz]

Ok ty

[rigid oxide]

you can its just annoying since you have to be there when they allow pollination. And its not guaranteed can take several cycles before you get a black flower.

[unborn basalt]

if I do that way, do I continue with replanting the 4 fields around the middle until I get a black one ?

[rigid oxide]

I mean just pollinate all 5 with the black flower and then if you get a black just move it to middle.

[ancient aspen]

this is not black right

[karmic axle]

no

[north eagle]

top-right seems to be black right?

[rigid oxide]

yes

[north eagle]

so now I move that one to the center? or keep purple rarity there

[scarlet burrow]

black moves to center

don't harvest black by accident. replant the outside 4 and water+fetilize the 4

[north eagle]

yeah Im aware trying to avoid that, I have collected one purple by accident today tho

is the middle one here also a black one btw?

I believe it should be the same logic for all the 3 seeds

[rigid oxide]

yes

[misty merlin]

Most blacks I've gotten in 1 run

[tranquil swan]

what colour are these? black?

[native wave]

hey guys on last harvest I harvested 1 black can you help identify this two groups

2nd

[north saffron]

none of those are black flowers

[finite willow]

are these? and what do i do if i have 2

[north saffron]

yes

[north saffron]

yes, move them to the center of the cross to get more

[finite willow]

and i just claim the other one right

[north saffron]

its faster with 2

but up to you

[finite willow]

oh like to the other cross ok ty

[magic iris]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbUWFAPctd8

In this video he says if one has 5 of the same flower in the cross to destroy the whole cross. But should I not keep one of my purple flowers to try breed new ones instead of destroying all? Or is the destroy all only if all are of green rarity?

[sharp rose]

is the right one a black flower?

[scarlet burrow]

yes

[neon ocean]

4 Total now?

[frigid sundial]

is this a black flower guys? the one in front

[velvet narwhal]

yep

hey chat my flower have all been same color for few cycle now...

[velvet narwhal]

hey my flower has been the same color for 4 generation now. how long do i need to wait or do i restart everything now?

[scarlet burrow]

only reset if all 5 flowers are of identical color in the same cross

[north saffron]

you can probably keep one of them and try with new seeds

[velvet narwhal]

both cross are same color 😂

[north saffron]

thats fine keep a purple rarity in both of them and plant new seeds around them

[rigid oxide]

keeping one to breed new ones might give you back a purple faster, but it also significantly increases the chances that the purple will be the same (dominant) which will never be capable of creating black flowers.

[scarlet burrow]

hey Doma!
these 3 are black, right?

[velvet narwhal]

what the hell

[slender crow]

can someone make sense of my arrangement? The middle flowers in each cross are purple. Am I on the right track?

[scarlet burrow]

if the rarity of the flower in the center is purple, keep on going. each cross is not fully same color, no need to reset

[slender crow]

ok nice

[rigid oxide]

yes

[keen dirge]

sorry guys i am testing something

[night pivot]

can we get rid of this if i only want to plan rose?

[mossy perch]

is this BLACK?!!?!

[austere tinsel]

re-re directing my question here: Anyone else that is very into decorating the homestead finding it increasingly difficult to get items to sit flush against walls without having to use the fine-tune option (directional arrows)?

[rigid oxide]

can only get rid of them by planting them in a field, then recylcing the field and re-placing it.

[rigid oxide]

light purple/ pale white (left)

[mossy perch]

so none is black?

[rigid oxide]

yeah top/center/bottom light purple. left is pale white and right is red.

[orchid moon]

is this black?

[rigid oxide]

yes (bottom right one)

[ocean hamlet]

Yes. It's fine tune or bust. The editor gives a lot of power but it is not convenient or easy to use.

[thorny shale]

is dis black?

[rigid oxide]

no, purple or light purple.

[gaunt dew]

Is this black or white

[rigid oxide]

pale white

[gaunt dew]

kk tyty

[austere tinsel]

It almost seems as if I'm going outside of hidden parameters or something- like, the more we expand and try to decorate in new spaces it breaks the system. It slows down, lags- items no longer move as they're being moved. It's definitely "fine tune or bust". I hope this is something that can be fixed. There is no way it's going to be able to keep up. There is just so many decorating items, and I'm trying to be there for them.

[velvet narwhal]

yeah it suck

[valid terrace]

I'm finally flower expert

[velvet narwhal]

like i dont even understand how they mess up something like snap function]

[valid terrace]

oh I'm gonna dread trying to decorate with the fine tune

[velvet narwhal]

if the system is this unfinish then i rather have everything on a grid like old mmo

[glossy plaza]

IS THIS IT

[hot musk]

these aren't black right? I'm just coping?

[ocean hamlet]

Not black at all

[velvet narwhal]

yeah im cooked

[valid terrace]

pollination isn't the end!!

I think

I checked my flowers during pollination and then came back later I'm pretty sure they were different colors

[manic pond]

hi guys is dis the black flower?

[rigid oxide]

yes

[manic pond]

LETS GOOOOO

[spice barn]

Black? (Top left)

[daring quartz]

I finally got a black flower but didn't notice because it looked blue (the one time I didn't ask) 🥲 . Do I need to start over from scratch? It wasn't the center flower

[fleet gust]

yeah

[mystic aurora]

No black right? Do i have to recycle the whole plot if all same color right?

[pine talon]

yay

[valid terrace]

I mean if you don't wanna think about it too hard you can just recycle the plot but yeah there's no blacks

I would get a second plot of flowers with a different purple tier color and then I would mix them together

[mystic aurora]

Thank you!

[valid terrace]

although I haven't tested this strategy yet, since I already got my black flower

[hidden mesa]

what should i do after got black in middle?

[valid terrace]

I assume you just keep replanting until they turn black

I don't know though

[craggy path]

replant the outer ones, keep the black one there don't replant that and only water (do not fertilize the outer ones). VERY IMPORTANT: do not harvest the black one only the outer ones

[hidden mesa]

sadly i am already fertilize outer

[valid terrace]

why shouldn't you fertilize the outer ones?

first time I'm hearing about it, so I'm doubting it

[craggy path]

actually maybe you can for black flowers but normally it's so that the purple ones grow first to pollinate the others

so now that I think about it should be fine but if you're not getting black flowers from fertilizing then maybe try without

[valid terrace]

yeah the only reason you don't use fertilizer is because the pollinator needs to grow first

so if the pollinator just sits there then there's no point not using fertilizer, since the pollinator is already grown

[daring quartz]

If I accidentally harvest black flower do I need to start from scratch? It wasn't from the center that flowers still purple

[valid terrace]

if you harvest black flower you can probably continue with the other flowers you have

if a black flower was created then the middle flower is capable of making more black flowers

[daring quartz]

Ok ty

[hidden mesa]

thanks

[spark island]

Are these black ?

[valid terrace]

it does look like two black flowers to me

[spark island]

I cant tell

[valid terrace]

these two

[spark island]

Thank you

[slender crow]

this is a before and after. both middles are purples. am I doing okay?

i know some of the flowers in the mix are purples, i dont know which ones

[rigid oxide]

the light purples are purple rarity right?

or are they the blue rarity purple flowers

looking closer I think they are the blue rarity purple, which is not the best. Still could be possible to create a black, but much less likely.

[copper falcon]

is this it?

[slender crow]

idk, i just know the mids are purpls

[rigid oxide]

light blue

[copper falcon]

oks ty

[slender crow]

ok so ive confirmed all those light blues are purple quality and the two purple colors are blue quality

[rigid oxide]

yeah i mean give it a few generations at least. But did the two light blues come from the same parents?

[slender crow]

probably

[rigid oxide]

should really try to avoid swapping cross planting. It wins in the very short game but loses overall due to possibly getting 2 with full dominant last genes.

[slender crow]

i remember when i first got the purples they were in two seperate plots though

should i try exchanging the two middles? i harvested them all and replaced the seeds

[rigid oxide]

wont change anything at this point. Just have to hope you have one of them dominant/recessive and get lucky

[slender crow]

ill just let these grow and see tomorrow i guess

[queen summit]

what are the cons and pros with diagonal fields, i see people not recommending it, why

[slender crow]

cross pollination happens cardinal first

or thats what takes priority at least

[queen summit]

huh

[slender crow]

they look at whats right next to them for changing genes before looking diagonally

[queen summit]

oh yeh i gotcha

[signal shell]

Puzzled about the black flowers

is this black flower?

[rigid oxide]

yes

[signal shell]

How does one go about propagating that flower?

[cursive sand]

[fleet gust]

replace the center with the black tulip, and start the rng

[rigid oxide]

dont harvest it, move it to the center. Then just plant and replant around it until the child plants are black

[heavy dust]

black flower??

[fleet gust]

yup

[heavy dust]

https://tenor.com/view/thank-fuck-finally-it-has-happened-to-me-ce-ce-peniston-singing-gif-16147896

[vagrant dune]

black?

[glad arrow]

sadly not

[vagrant dune]

😭

[glad arrow]

also im like maybe certain these are, but i need verification for my sanity

[rigid oxide]

brighter than most i've seen, but the colors match the ratios

[glad arrow]

Guess I'll find out when I make more, it's been put at the center of the cross for now.

[misty maple]

They are black for me yep

[rigid oxide]

yeah guess they were just slightly brighter because they were on a different monitor, obviously black on my main monitor.

[glad arrow]

One less thing to worry about. Not the unluckiest I bet, by a mile, but I would've had to start a 5th batch if these didn't produce. It's a funny coincidence cause the dark blue flowers always kept their dominant gene, but my first purple flower immediately gives it to me

[frozen musk]

did black flowers come home?

[loud spindle]

are these black flowers? 😄

[pure dove]

PLEASE TELL ME THESE ARE BLACK FLOWERS!? CUZ IMMA BOUT TO LOSE MY MIND.

[rigid oxide]

90% sure (mobile colors are a struggle)

[rigid oxide]

yes

[rigid oxide]

yes

[loud spindle]

Thank you!!

[toxic musk]

How to get rid of fertilizer?

[lyric cloud]

oh kind flower identifier gods are these black flowers or bait?

[rigid oxide]

same as seeds, but worse. You have to plant something fertilize it then recycle the field and repeat. Ideally you just stop doing the blue fertilizer commissions.

[rigid oxide]

pale white

[toxic musk]

Damn.... I have 79...

Well gotta go to work

[lyric cloud]

thank you ❤️

[pure dove]

Im gonna cry hahahahaha after 1 million years. 😭 this batch was the 14th one

[somber plover]

guys instead of asking if it is black flower, why dont you just pick/replant it?

In the logs you will see if it is green/blue/purple/gold quality

Gold = black flower.

use a piece of paper to draw your result and recycle/move in one go.

done.

[glad arrow]

Yknow, the fact you can't replant black flowers?
Most people are doing it for the achievement so it's important that the black flowers are left alone for a pollination source

[somber plover]

this was genuine question 🙂

thanks for answering

[glad arrow]

Ah fair

[pure dove]

🫣

[somber plover]

i dodged a bullet then haha

[glad arrow]

Yep

I long for the day black flowers have a very distinct color

[somber plover]

and when done with the achievement, is there an optimal way to make money? i remember there is something like aaBBccdd that could be a good candidate? (not the correct letter sorry)

[glad arrow]

By money do you mean the homestead coins? Think I heard somewhere hydrangeas will be the best way when unlocked, but I'm not sure what before that. If I were to guess, black flowers for roses.

[somber plover]

i already have them hydrangeas

and yes i talk about homestead. that a very good source of material/craft exp.

[glad arrow]

I'm sure there'll be a guide soon for getting max profit from hydrangeas soon

[rose void]

hi guys, am i allowed to harvest the middle black flower, then replant + fertilise (leave surrounding only watered)?

or must i keep the middle black flower grown for it to spread?

[rigid oxide]

keep it, you don't get seeds for black flowers.

[rose void]

thank you

[daring quartz]

morning, are any of these black?

[rigid oxide]

no

[daring quartz]

Ok thanks

[late crest]

These arent black flowers right?

[gentle tangle]

I need workers in my plantation

[sharp canopy]

Question, all 5 are the same colour, do I need to recycle all and re-plant ? Purple quality, if that makes a difference

[late crest]

i think u need the purple rarity not the quality

[sharp canopy]

I guess by quality I meant rarity, as in, when I pick them up

[rigid oxide]

not black

[sharp canopy]

It's purple background

Like this

But they're all the same visual colour

And Idk if I need to recycle this whole cross now

Or if I can continue

[rigid oxide]

rarity/quality are the same. Just farm it maybe for a few cycles after they all become the same purple rarity. Then if still no black, its unlikely that its possible to get a black so should restart fresh.

[sharp canopy]

Alright, so I farm this for a few more cycles

And hope for the best

Ty

[dense ingot]

Is right black flower?

[gaunt island]

~ah shiiiiiiiii xD

" Its clearly not the black one ill just harvest it "!

@dense ingot Its more like the left one than the right one

[dense ingot]

Oh, I thought it looked purple

I'm blind

I took another screenshot with high settings, could you help me verify once more?

[scarlet burrow]

yes, right is black

[gaunt island]

See my black was a rose and it looked exactly like the prev pic left side flower.

[umbral zinc]

no flower in this picture is black

maybe the left one...

[dense ingot]

Okay thanks guys!

[gaunt island]

Is it normal for hydrangeas to show they need water but when you water it doesnt work?

[scarlet burrow]

walkaway from the flower and return to ensure the menu refreshes.

[umbral zinc]

thats normal for every flower...u can water every 6h

[gaunt island]

Only recently unlocked hydrangea and it shows the water icon but when i do the action it says they are not dehydrated, doesnt show for the other flower types.

[frozen musk]

imma have to wait till i get home and ill try again

[unkempt nexus]

is this one black?

[cunning stone]

Is the bottom one a black flower?

[umbral zinc]

yes

[umbral zinc]

yes

[cunning stone]

I don't harvest that one and put it in the middle right?

[umbral zinc]

yes

[unkempt nexus]

they look like same color to me and more light blue than black... are these really black flowers?

[umbral zinc]

these are not blacks

black ones look like blues but with way less saturation

[vagrant vault]

Is this a black flower?

[scarlet burrow]

yes RGB match

[vagrant vault]

Yay, thank you!

[scarlet burrow]

put it in center of cross (don't harvest it). and then you can fertilize the 4 outside to speed up the process. center black is already grown and will pollinate outside

[mortal slate]

this a black flower guys?

[scarlet burrow]

too dark... CAMERA > Settings > Enable Time Freeze > Day and Night slider = 11 (middle)

[mortal slate]

a comparison, cuz 2 of the same color grew..and its nighttime in homestead xd

[scarlet burrow]

enable the setting above and retake pic

[mortal slate]

both of them

[mortal slate]

^

the center of left cross, and the right of right cross, seem the same color, and the center of left cross was purple last generation, so i think those 2 can be black

the center in right cross seems more blue-ish

unless thats the color of the "black" flower, thats in the center of right cross

i'll let someone else answer since i'm not 100% sure and don't want to waste your time.
my guess is that center of left is not black (lacking blue'ish tint) and center of right is black BUT i could be wrong

[mortal slate]

i mean, both were purple on last generation ;/

i could try to harvest one of the 2 and see if a black pops in achivments xd

[scarlet burrow]

if you do, harvest center of left cross first. i'd bet that it's not black, lacks blue tint. don't harvest center of right cross until someone else replies, could be black but maybe not (may be a little too dark)

black has a blue tint like this

[autumn island]

so my white? purple rarity is only making whote flowers... Should i restart? ive done this twice

[scarlet burrow]

i'd only reset if the entire cross (5) produces the exact same color of flower. i had 4 identical and 1 different and eventually got black

[autumn island]

so should i just arrange the white seeds in the cross and see what happens?

[scarlet burrow]

ensure that the center is the highest rarity flower in that cross (purple if the flowers on the pic are from the same cross).

[autumn island]

yeah they are

so i should keep the purple rarity in the center and not have any other purples around it

[scarlet burrow]

rarity of outside 4 doesn't matter. just have highest rarity in middle,
harvest outside 4 (leave center purple rarity, do not harvest).
then you can fertilize&water outside 4 to speed up process since center is already bloomed and will fertilize outside

[autumn island]

ok thank you sm sorry if i was difficult

[mortal slate]

so that would be more like the center of the right cross i guess

[scarlet burrow]

all good. it's supposed to be a simple process but i still find lots of questions, RNG 🙂

[mortal slate]

on the other hand, mine seems a bit tooo blue-ish

[autumn island]

i just dont know at what point i shoul start over LOL but yeah rng is rough

[scarlet burrow]

i'm on the fence with the center of the right. RGB rules indicate that could be black but looks a bit too darkto me. was hoppig someone else would reply. maybe repost a pic of the right cross so that its orezoomed in

[drowsy iris]

how strict is the exact prozess for breeding a black flower? bc I had double purple cross and swapped them around 2 times plus with some left over purples. no idea where exactly I stand atm but is it fkd or can I still get them?

[scarlet burrow]

i would only start over if all 5 give the identical same flower. took me 6 generations to get a black and i have 4 identical and 1 different... but RNG

[rancid narwhal]

Any black?

[scarlet burrow]

i'm not familiar with the detailed genes but never swap flowers between crosses unless you understand the details. only swap to different cross if black flower.
within same cross , swap highest rarety to center

[mortal slate]

so this is the one im wondering about

the other 2 turned out to be blue seeds xd

[mortal slate]

mine does seem a bit darker tho

[scarlet burrow]

this one looks very blackto me

[mortal slate]

ill leave it for now and see what happens, other 2 crosses have purple/blue only, so i think in next gen or 2 i should get a similar resoult

then ill harvest 1 and compare

[scarlet burrow]

can you take a pic of the cross to your left zomed in, need more pixel detail

[proud folio]

is the one on the right black?

[scarlet burrow]

looks like black but fuzzy pic

[mortal slate]

like, why couldnt they make the black flowers literally be black -_-

[thorny shale]

black?

[north saffron]

yes

[thorny shale]

thankyou

[mortal slate]

what about this one? if u would pls lend ur assistance

[north saffron]

black flower

[mortal slate]

thx ;D we werent sure earlier xd

[plucky grail]

is it necessary to delete seeds (green/low rarity), even though I have the one mutating (middle) close enough to black, like blue/purple (purple rarity)

[north saffron]

no keep replanting them around your highest rarity flower

[plucky grail]

ye should be enough right they still mutate towards middle ig. Thank you for confirmation ^^

[north saffron]

no

[left yew]

bottom or righjt black?

[north saffron]

none

[left yew]

D:

[signal yoke]

how tf u identify black flowers

[north saffron]

none of those are black

[mystic aurora]

Anyone can adopt me on their homestead? I give up on this black flower

[drowsy iris]

once I got purple flowers in the middle to I replant blue and purple and destroy green?

or do I always destroy and never replant?

[scarlet burrow]

highest rarity moves to center. no need to destroy others unless all 5are identical flower color.
just keep harvesting the outside and replating in the same field, don't mix.
if center is mature, don't harvest, so that you can use fertilizer on outside 4 for faster cycles

[drowsy iris]

I already mixed them few cycles ago

[scarlet burrow]

kept in same cross?

[drowsy iris]

no

[scarlet burrow]

umm. stop it 🙂 i think you can continue with what you have but don't move between crosses unless it's a black. it can be fine to move or not, depends on genes but too complicated for me to understand

[cerulean wigeon]

my friend and i share a house, and my friend growing the flower, but when i go to bloom flower only can polinate, cant harvest . so whats the purpose of polinate a friends flowers? does anyone know?

[green crag]

Your friend can let you plant the flower so you can harvest it, you can’t harvest other people’s flower if they planted the seed

[scarlet burrow]

only the player that plants can harvest.
maybe you can plant 1 cross and pollinate your cross from his black flower?

[cerulean wigeon]

ohhhh i see, thankyouu guys for the info!

[green crag]

I’m not sure what the pollen does but you could harvest a pollen from an already finished flower that’s not yours, and use it on a pollen phase field that’s still processing

I’m pretty sure if you pollen that growing phase flower, it has a chance to inherit traits or rarity bonus from where the original flower was harvested from

[north saffron]

lets say the right field is your friends and the left one is yours
if he has a black flower but also wants to grow flowers, you yourself cant pollinate passively from his flower so you have to collect the pollen to get black flowers in your field

[daring quartz]

hi all, is there any black here?

[daring quartz]

Omg really? I can't see it I'm partly colour blind xD

So I swap one to center and move one to center of other cross?

[scarlet burrow]

correct

[daring quartz]

Ty!!!!!

[cerulean wigeon]

do you mean by growing phase flower is :
we give pollen to the seed we planted first , or do we give pollen it when 30 minutes before the flower blooms?

[scarlet burrow]

never harvest the black in the center, and you can water/fertilize the 4 outside

[green crag]

30 minute before, it should say the flower is in pollen phase or similar

[cerulean wigeon]

if im not mistaken, 30 minutes before that, it looks like a baby flower that hasnt bloomed yet, right?

[green crag]

I think yes

Even if it already grew colors from it, you can still pollen it and it’ll change

Just make sure it’s not fully grown into harvest yet

[scarlet burrow]

yes. plus the tooltip tells you if it's growing or pollinating, when you approach the field

[cerulean wigeon]

okay i will try first, thankyou so muchh for the detailed info sir

[daring quartz]

Are the flowers useful for anything other than recycling?

[scarlet burrow]

maybe decor? i recycle for coins to buy mats for weekly lifeskill quests

[daring quartz]

This is my intention just didn't want to brick anything. Thanks again!

[autumn island]

well ....

[arctic folio]

That's cute

[exotic sand]

can use these to make cabinets

[vagrant lynx]

I would love a separate channel for homestead decorating!

[mystic aurora]

Can Anyone adopt me as their room mate for black flower? Im active

[autumn island]

how you all getting all the money to buy this stuff im broke 😭

[vagrant lynx]

Buy all the homestead coins at the beginning of the week from all the shops & craft the other stuffs. Also neglect any real content. lol

[exotic sand]

just farm golden flowers and have roommates u can shake down coins

[autumn island]

That's so real. I have been upgrading the homestead and flower farming (no black flowers yet btw) so I'm drained

[mystic aurora]

Same

[autumn island]

trying but my flowers hate me

[vagrant lynx]

This too! Have roommates - promise them a bedroom if they buy you the 30k stairs 😂

[exotic sand]

promise them this

work in progress all the lower trim will be done

[fickle pebble]

do these fkrs look black to yall

or this one?

[vagrant lynx]

No black there unfortunately

[fickle pebble]

none of them???

[peak furnace]

none.

[exotic sand]

they look more grey than black so keep an eye out

[knotty ingot]
