How do we increase the quality of our big blooms? I notice that if I plant 300 sunflowers or red jamaica on a single bloom it typically gives me that nectar back.
Is there a way to make big blooms give higher-value nectars? How do the bloom type calculations work?
I found this and I think it’s a significant improvement over anything I said earlier.
Now what I said, I think, is accurate, but the link goes into greater depth on how things will sometimes act differently than you’d expect.
To summarize for anyone else wondering:
If you plant between 50-70% (151-209 flowers) with the flower type you want in white, and the rest in basic flowers of the color you want, you will usually get that type in that color.
If less than 30% (91 flowers) of planted flowers are one of yellow, red, or blue, then the color is random. Not purely random, though, each type of flower has a weighted scale for color.
During special events the flower type may be overridden by the event flower.
I was able to test the first part myself on three fresh sprouts, and successfully bloomed all three into blue dianthus by planting ~170 white dianthus and ~130 plain blue petals around each.
