Breeding and wilting
- Plant two flowers of the same kind next to each other (diagonals count) and leave empty ground around them; new flowers appear at 6 AM.
- Watering every day improves the chance of a hybrid and stops flowers wilting.
- A flower that goes a day without water or rain can wilt; water it the same day to save it. Picking up a wilted flower destroys it.
- Gold roses: let a black rose wilt, then water it with the golden can. It blooms gold the next morning.
- Jacob’s ladder appears on its own only while your town is rated perfect, and can’t be bred.
- Four-leaf clovers turn up rarely among ordinary clovers.
Perfect town

- Ask Pelly or Phyllis about “the environment” to hear your rating.
- A town needs at least 8 perfect acres, and every other acre must be acceptable.
- Perfect acre: 12–15 trees and at least 3 flowers (2 more flowers for each tree over or under).
- Acceptable acre: 10–17 trees and no flowers needed.
- Any acre with more than 2 weeds or more than 2 items left lying around fails, so pull weeds every few days.
- Keep the town perfect for 15 days in a row for the golden can.
