Flowers guide (ACWW)
From Animal Crossing City
Flowers in Animal Crossing:Wild World are much more interactive than in Animal Crossing: You can plant and move them, and hybridize them to get new ones.

[edit] Planting flowers
[edit] Flowers from seeds
Basic flower seeds (tulips, roses, pansies, cosmos) can be purchased at Tom Nook's store. You do not need special tools to plant seeds. Stand on the spot where you want to plant your the seeds, open your inventory, select the seeds, and choose "Plant," and the flowers will appear beneath you. If you continue to plant seeds, the flowers will appear around you until all eight spaces are filled.
[edit] Picking flowers up
If you stand in front of some flowers that are growing in the ground and press the B button, you will pick them up, and they will appear as a flower icon in your inventory.
You can then plant them in any spot you want by standing on the spot, opening your inventory, selecting the flowers, and choosing "Plant."
You can also place them in your house. In your house, open your inventory, select the flowers, and choose "Place in room," and they will appear in a planter and occupy a floor spot.Note that when you drag a rose to yourself, you keep it in your mouth, but anything else, goes to your hair.
[edit] New flowers
Occasionally, new species of flowers will appear in your town. Some may be due to hybridization (see below). The dandelion will appear randomly. The Jacob's ladder will also appear randomly, though it is believed that your town must be perfect for this to happen.

[edit] Maintaining flowers
Flowers do not require constant maintenance. However, they will on occasion begin to wilt and turn a dark olive color. To save them, water them. Go into your inventory and equip the watering can. Stand next to the flowers, facing them, and press A to water them. The flowers will return to full bloom the next day.
Be careful not to press B, because you will yank (like pulling a weed), destroying them!
[edit] Hybridization
[edit] How to hybridize
If you plant two different examples of the same species next to each other, on the next morning, there is a chance they will hybridize and create a new flower in one of the spaces next to either of the parents. For example, red tulips and white tulips can produce pink tulips. There are a few guidelines to follow to do this.
- The parent flowers should be adjacent, either right next to each other or diagonally.
- There needs to be at least one space open next to each parent. Do not completely surround either parent with anything, including items, patterns, dig spots, or other flowers.
Even if the hybridization conditions are met, there is no guarantee it will occur. Only 3-5 new flowers appear in a town in a day, and most hybridization pairings can produce a non-hybrid child, so it may take a while for any particular hybridization to occur. There are a few things that are thought to increase the chance of hybridization.
- Perfect own status
- Luck from positive feng shui
- Presence of Jacob's ladders next to either parent
- Watering dried out flowers that meet hybridization conditions
Once a hybrid is produced, it can reproduce quickly by crossing it with any other flower.
