Ahh about the wilted flower. I never had a wilted or black flower, so now I know. It's weird though. I know I watered it when I planted just a few hours ago. Oh well.

Will the rain water it back to health?

Yeah, not as big of a deal - but if you make a big deal of planting them you can still have a pretty decent haul for little work. Now you've got the island and other things you make going online much more worth it. Today I had a 60k sale of my perfect/foreign fruits, which while is much less than an island one but is no effort for a nice little pocket of change every few days.
If you have access to a different town, perfect fruits are quite efficient. An orchad of 30 trees means 270k twice a week, faster than the island for the same amount. You just have to replant them each month.

And you can easily have 100+ trees, so possibly several millions a week for very little work.

So Redd didn't show up for me at all on Monday/Tuesday.

Unless he doesn't always park on the Tree Plaza and I just missed him somehow.

Here's a guide to flower hybrids.

You can get a black rose from
  • Red and Red Roses
  • Red and Orange Roses
  • Blue and Red Roses
  • Black and Black Roses (Best combination)
I got my first black rose yesterday, and it appeared in the middle of a red and yellow rose bed. No red roses were touching, though it did appear between two red roses, which is very weird. I'm still trying to work that one out.

I take it there's no easy way to start the perfect fruit train rolling, is there?
I had a perfect orange on my first day which I accidentally ate and haven't had one grow in any of my harvests since.

I suppose I could always trade for a perfect orange from someone else.

Possibility: remember that a parent can act as one of its ancestors in a cross, and that flowers can spawn themselves. So (and this is quite a bit of a long shot, admittedly), consider a yellow spawn from a red/yellow pair, acting as its red parent to cross with another red to make a black.

...I'm not sure this is the right explanation, but maybe? I don't believe I've seen a child spawn between parents.

This has got to be the most complex game system Nintendo has ever invented. :lol

My Gyroid problem is going to come to a head eventually. I'm going to bankrupt myself if I keep having to expand my house to store them all.

Get some exhibit rooms at Museum 2F! In my view that is basically what they are for.

I think I'm going to have to trade this game away. Not that I don't enjoy it, but I just got my 3DS recently and have lots I want to play, and instead I keep playing AC because I feel like if I don't I'm falling behind/missing out/etc. I know this is my own mental hurdle, but it feels like if I have the game I need to try and get the most out of it, but I was having more "fun" playing Theatrhythm last night, yet stopped because "Oh god not getting the max bells I can!"

Or maybe I can be less psycho.

Help me!!!

Someone wanted me to serenade his Mint, so I sent her a love letter.

Spearmint is green.
Peppermint is blue.
I prefer pepper,
'cus it's hot like you.​

Okay. Now explain that again in English. Who knew breeding flowers could be so complicated? I just get happy when stuff pops up. I have a black tulip and a purple rose. I'm happy.

That's dedication!

"Dedicated." I like it! I'm dedicated to ACNL, not obsessed. Sounds much nicer!

Yeah, I just need Redd back so I can donate some art.

I ran away from him the first time he showed-up because I was afraid of getting a fake.

I could always just give my gyroids away.

Coquette, will you be around for a while? I have to get to the store first but I'd like to come by later in the afternoon if you can :)

I remember reading that if you water a wilted flower, you'll have to wait until the following day for it to be brought back to health...

I'm not entirely sure about rain, but I read that rain will prevent flowers from wilting. It's odd that your rose wilted...

Play at your own pace. If you're stressing out over this game, you might be playing it wrong.

I always get this way with these types of games, where if a day goes by where something could in theory be constructed, or money could be earned, or something, then I feel I'm wasting time if I don't ensure it happens that day. It's definitely my issue. Oh well.

That's what I assumed happened. It's impossible to keep track of which flowers have been bought and which have been bred now though. It's not something I want to spend time thinking about. I'm happy with the odd surprise!

Except for my purple and orange rose beds though. I've got my beady eye on those bad boys.

arggh cannot find katie to take to klaw's

sorry colnip gimme a bit

I got an error while in Klaws town as someone was joining, I was stuck in convo with wart directly in front of the train station door, dunno if that was the cause :(

Oh yeah and like I was trying to say in your town I was surprised cause I bought that painting on a whim and it ended up being the same one (only one I've donated so far) I stuck in the museum, or at the very least it's the fake version of it lol. But as I said I just wanted something to put up in my house anyway :p

Anyone have Katrina today? I just found out about having to talk to her 20 times just to get her shop to open -_-.
Pattern mule characters are handy for triggering this sooner.
Only needs 5 visits to every one of your villagers instead of 20 just to the mayor.

Will also make it quicker to raid Saharah's inventory (provided you've upgraded them from tents to houses).

The bought vs. bred variable only comes into play for red roses, correct?

It's actually possible to do this? I was thinking about making a mule character or so for storage purposes but now that I know about this is might really help. I'm just worried about my mules taking up space set aside for other various things in my town.

Also if it's possible, how would I go about getting one of the New Leafs on my avatar. I'm still a bit new to this place, but I'm in love with this game and will probably be playing it for awhile. Would be nice to have that bit of representation on my avatar. Huggytar

Also, increased storage space is handy, and you can design more rooms.

And store patterns, 10 is far too few (I've used all of them for the roads and the flag).

But what is the best way to exchange things between players? Leaving items on the floor?

Red pansies, too, AFAIK.

Supposedly, yes. I water them anyway, though, because paranoia. ;)

Thanks guys. I'll just water it in a few minutes when I can get on the game. I'll go ahead and just water all of the hybrids while I'm at it.

I was wondering that too actually. I'm very much graphic stuff challenged. :(

I haven gotten two black roses. One off an orange x orange pair and on off a pink x pink pair.

I'm making a Japanese styled house a well! As far as the roofing, there isn't a "zen roof" that I've seen, but the black one that you've mentioned is what I'm using. It looks great. I just remodeled my house to the "zen castle" renovation, and I love it.

I'm quite interested in your paper tiger item. Where did you get it?

Sorry. I didnt see this until now.
I believe I got the paper tiger from Redd.
 
I can't be the only one who misses the shopping card aspect of the previous game, can I?

I mean, it's not like you have to spend a lot of money, but it's better than carrying bags of money around.

EDIT:... On second thought, now that I remember what the card is meant for, maybe it's for the best it's gone.
