Flowers

Flowers are decorative items in Littlewood. Picking flowers in the Endless Forest contributes 1 Gathering skill experience. Once planted in, flowers will spend 1 day as a bud before blooming on the second day. They do not need to be watered to grow, although flower crossbreeding requires a Watering Can.

All flower species and color variations are required for completion of the flower exhibit in the west wing of the Museum.

Species
There are currently six species of flower in Littlewood. There are three natural generating ones that can be found in the Endless Forest, and three to be unlocked via crossbreeding.

To breed for a new type of flower species, you must have two different flowers of the same basic color (yellow, red, or white).

Colors
There are currently eight types of flower coloration in Littlewood.

To breed for a new color within a flower type, you must have two of the same flower species.

Crossbreeding
To reliably breed flowers, you need a Watering Can. It can be obtained as a gift from completing the first page of Bubsy's house requests.

Once a watering can is obtained, you can use it to water your flowers in a 3x2 area in front of you. Watering flowers does not cost energy. Rain will also water all your flowers.

Only watered flowers are able to breed. Make sure to leave room beside the flowers you are breeding so that new flowers may bloom. Flowers always have a chance to duplicate themselves instead of creating a new hybrid so you may not crossbreed the flower you need right away.

Flower placement can be done via the nature tab. Unlike in the Endless Forest, collecting flowers in your village requires you to remove them in build mode.

When a flower is first placed from build menu, and when it successfully produces an offspring, it will first be a bud for 1 day before blooming.

Credit for crossbreeding combinations goes to u/jhellen158 and their Reddit post.
