If a player is [[flower planting|planting flowers]] within the Big Flower's radius, it will contribute towards blooming the Big Flower. After 300 flowers are planted in the radius, the flower will bloom and reward players who plant flowers nearby with an [[expedition]] to collect a [[fruit]] from it. (If a player has not yet unlocked the ability to do expeditions, they will not get a reward from a Big Flower.) The nectar provided by the fruit depends on the type of flowers that were planted in the radius. | ||

When a Big Flower blooms, the type of flower it becomes depends on the flowers planted inside its radius. The color of the flower (and therefore the type of fruit it provides) depends on the color of the planted flowers, and the species of the flower (and therefore the species of nectar the fruit provides) depends on the species of the planted flowers. | |||
=== | ===Color=== | ||
{{clean}} | |||
A Big Flower's eventual bloomed color is determined by the color of the flowers that players plant within, with additional complexity added by white flowers. For red, blue, and yellow flowers, the rules are simply to have the majority of their color within the Big Flower's radius to change it to their color type. For white, however, it requires over 70% of the flowers to contribute towards it, but it will also count any red, blue, or yellow flowers that are not the majority towards itself. For instance, if there are 40 white flowers and 30 red flowers within a Big Flower, the Big Flower will say {{transcript|will be a red flower}} in its description because white has not reached 70%. If an additional 20 yellow and 20 blue flowers were planted within, they would contribute to white as they are less than the number of red flowers and the Big Flower will change to {{transcript|will be a ??? flower}} because white, blue, and yellow altogether would then be over 70% of the contribution to the Big Flower. If the Big Flower has a chance to bloom white, the description will say {{transcript|will be a ??? flower}}. If it remains undetermined (continues to say ???) until it blooms, the Big Flower will bloom randomly into a white, red, yellow, or blue flower. | |||
===Species=== | ===Species=== | ||
There are 2 categories of flower | There are 2 main categories of flower types: basic flowers (from standard petals), and rare flowers (such as pansies, camellias, and roses). If only basic flowers are planted within the radius, the Big Flower will most likely be some color of basic flower, with a small chance of being a rare flower. If mostly rare flowers are planted within the radius, the Big Flower will most likely be the most common type of rare flower, though with some additional complexity and randomness. The chances of different flower species blooming has varied throughout the game's lifespan, and [[event]]s have frequently added temporary boosts to certain probabilities. | ||

A player can perform strategies to increase the odds of obtaining difficult-to-get nectar from Big Flowers. They can use any 2-3 red/blue/yellow pansies combined with white petals to bloom a white pansy or a third color pansy which they may not have with the random color selection of a white flower being chosen. | |||
A player can use unwanted petals when purposefully blooming a scarce color like blue by planting over 100 blue flowers within an empty Big Flower and then filling the rest of the amount with less than the blue in red and yellow (e.g. 110 blue, 95 red, 95 yellow). Doing this correctly will bloom a blue Big Flower, and it is easier to perform with a larger amount than 110 Blue flowers planted. | |||
It may be possible to do this strategy using normal, pansy, and rose flower types in order to only plant 110 roses within a Big Flower in order to make it bloom as a rose. | |||
