Wii Flowers and Hybrids; Weeds and Clover

Every town will start out with a few random flowers growing wild and scattered throughout. One of the first jobs Tom Nook will have you do is to plant more flowers and trees. Flowers make your town look more inviting and are also a great way to increase your odds in making a perfect town.

Flowers may be brought inside your house where they will never die or require water. They can also be carried in your inventory and then worn in your hair or carried in your mouth (roses).

Flowers are fragile and must watered when they wilt or they will die and disappear. Running through a wilted flower or picking it up will destroy it. If you run through any other flower more than once or twice, it will destroy it

In the Wii game, it appears that watering will keep flowers from ever wilting. Research has shown if you take the time to water all flowers daily, you will not have the problem of wilted flowers. More research is being completed and updates will be added as they are available.

Both rain and snow will water your flowers for you making it unnecessary for you to do it.

Weeds and Clover

Every day at least 2 weeds will appear in your town. Clover may also appear in any season but winter. Weeds should be pulled on a daily basis by standing next to them and pressing the �B� button if you are trying to have a perfect town. Clover can be picked the same way. Occasionally, when you pick a clover you will get a luck 4-leaf clover. Put this in your house or wear it for luck!

Obtaining Flowers

A few flowers will appear each new day at 6:00 am in your town. You may also buy flower seed packages from Tom Nook, trade for them with your friends on WiFi, or have your flowers produce new ones from breeding (two flowers producing a spawned flower).

Flower List

This is a comprehensive list of flowers that you may have growing in your town. Some may be available for purchase from Nook's store; other are hybrids and will have to grow on their own.

Special Flowers

There are some flowers that you cannot buy from Nook. They will only appear in your town based on certain criteria or by chance. These include: Carnations, Hybrids, Dandelions, Dandelion Puffs, Jacob�s Ladders, and Rafflesia.

Carnations

Carnations are new to this game and are not available as seeds from Tom Nook. On Mother�s Day you will receive a Pink Carnation in the mail from your Mother. On Father�s Day you will receive a Red Carnation from your Father. When planted side by side or in a diagonal plot these flowers will spawn more Pink or Red Carnations as well as possibly a hybrid of the two. Shown below is a pink carnation.

Hybrids

One of the fun and time-consuming features of this game is the ability to create new flowers or hybrids (ones that are not red, white or yellow), by crossbreeding. Hybrids are not guaranteed even when the conditions are optimal make them a challenge and quite rewarding when they do appear.

In order to get two flowers to cross, you must have two flowers of the same type (ie, two pansies, two roses, etc.) adjacent to one another. If two flowers successfully produce offspring, their child will appear in any of the nine squares that surround either of the two parents. It is important to note that flowers will not reproduce if all of the nine squares surrounding both parents are blocked by obstacles such as trees, rocks, or patterns placed on the ground. As a clarification, it is perfectly okay for some of the spots to be blocked. In fact, to increase the probability of successful hybridization, we encourage users to arrange flowers so that that each flower touches multiple potential breeding partners. Examples of basic successful spawn diagrams are shown below. Red squares indicate parent positions, and blue squares indicate possible children spawns.

You do not need a perfect town to grow hybrids. The best way to maximize hybrids is to eliminate non-matching parents. For example, two white tulips should never be placed adjacent to one another; this will only yield non-hybrid spawns. Hybrid plots should be placed away from obstacles, signs, river edges, and buildings. Maximizing the number of spawn points maximizes your chances of getting a hybrid.

Dandelions and Dandelion Puffs

Dandelions appear randomly in your town during any season other than winter. If you do not pick them after a few days, they will turn into Dandelion Puffs. If you pick a Dandelion Puff and equip it, you can blow on the puff by pressing the �A� button. These flowers do not count as weeds in your town. They do not reproduce.

Here is a photo of a Dandelion:

Jacob's Ladder

Jacob�s Ladders will appear randomly in perfect towns. Often the first indication that you have a perfect town is to come across a lovely Jacob�s Ladder. Jacob�s Ladders will not reproduce even if placed side by side with another. They do count a flowers in your town.

Here is a photo of a Jacob�s Ladder:

Rafflesia

Rafflesia appears in towns that are full of weeds. It is a large smelly red flower that cannot be picked or killed by running over it. It does not wilt. Your villagers will complain about this eye sore until you get rid of it. This large smelly flower is only good for attracting flies. The only way to get rid of a Rafflesia is to pull your weeds. Once you have pulled a good number of them, the plant will be wilted the next day and should disappear entirely the day after that.
