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 and flowers that aren't available in all 4 colors. For red, blue, and yellow flowers, having a majority of that color of flower planted within the radius will cause the Big Flower to grow into that color, provided that it's available for the determined species. For Big Flowers where at least 70% of the flowers planted in the radius are white or where the most prevalent flower color isn't available in the determined species, when the 300 flower goal is reached, the color of the Big Flower will be randomly picked. This means that it is impossible to guarantee a white bloom from a Big Flower. When this occurs the flower species is first determined, and then the color is picked based on odds unique to the species. | 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 and flowers that aren't available in all 4 colors.

The likely eventual color and type of a Big Flower is displayed in the screen that appears when an unbloomed Big Flower is tapped. The color displayed does not guarantee that it will be the final color of the Big Flower, because it could still change as more flowers are planted. The colors "red", "blue", and "yellow" will display in this message if that color of flower is the most common non-white color within the radius, and if the 70% rule for white flowers has not been reached. The color "white" is never displayed here, as if the 70% rule has been reached, the color will be displayed as "???" instead. For example, if there are 40 white flowers and 30 red flowers within a Big Flower's radius, the Big Flower will say it will be red, because there are less than 70% white and non-red flowers. If an additional 20 yellow and 20 blue flowers were planted within, they would contribute to white as they are less common than red flowers, and the Big Flower would display "???" as its eventual color. | The likely eventual color and type of a Big Flower is displayed in the screen that appears when an unbloomed Big Flower is tapped.

===Color Odds Per Species=== | |||
Each species of flower has a unique distribution of colors that will be used to randomly determine the color of a big flower when that species is bloomed and the majority color is either white or a color that is unavailable for that species. The following is experimental data sourced from [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wf1kZCfSxQC4jB--zKRZpgAPhE60zcAfedItqQ5OrbY/edit#gid=1934273914| this spreadsheet], so it may not be perfectly accurate. | |||
