Gardening/Cross-Pollination

In order to obtain rarer and different color seeds, a player must cross-pollinate various flowers together. Cross-pollinating is done by taking an existing harvested flower, tapping a fully bloomed (but not harvested) flower patch, and then select the cross-pollination option.

There are several seed results which can happen after cross-pollination depending on the flowers selected for cross-pollination, and it is even possible to fail cross-pollination.

To better understand why certain flowers are recommended for cross-pollination or why the expected results are what is stated, it helps to have knowledge about flower genes, mutations, and other breeding mechanisms. However, this knowledge is not needed for cross-pollinating flowers. See Flower Pollination Details for more.

The Catalog Completion Quick Guide section outlines the cross-pollination steps frequently recommended within the ACPC player community.

Last Steps

You have finished preparing the Tulip Seeds necessary. Outline below are the final steps needed to complete the Tulips Series for Total Catalog Completion:

1. Plant and harvest all seeds obtained from the previous Sets and trade them in with Lloid in the garden.
   • Because the above guide is based on averages, you may be short of Red or Orange Tulips. If this is the case, purchase, plant, and harvest a few more.

Bonus: Complete the Happy Homeroom Courses: 11-2 Flower-Garden Lounge and 11-7 Flower-Garden Lounge 2.

• Any part of this series will be a perfect substitution of one another. You do not need the Pansies Series to get 3 medals.

Pansies Quick Guide

A guide for efficiently obtaining all Pansies needed to trade in for the Floral Series (Pansies) is currently in process.

Flower Pollination Details

A large portion of the flower breeding mechanisms in ACPC are similar to genes in real life. Every flower and seed has two genes, and even if a flower has the same color as another, they could have different gene combinations. Flowers that look the same (i.e. phenotype) will stack together in the player's inventory, regardless of their genes (i.e. genotype).

Flowers bought from Lloid in the garden always have the exact same gene combination.

Tulip Details

Dominance

The appearance of a flower is determined by color dominance, with the more dominant color being the appearance color.

For tulips, the color dominance from strongest (1st) to weakest (8th) is:

1. Red
2. Yellow
3. Orange
4. Black
5. Pink
6. Purple
7. White
8. Blue

For example,

• Tulips with (Red/Orange) genes will appear as Red Tulips because Red is dominant over Orange (1st > 3rd).
• Tulips with (Black/Purple) genes will appear as Black Tulips because Black is dominant over Purple (4th > 6th).

Note: Blue Tulips will always have (Blue/Blue) genes, since any other color combination would make them appear non-blue.

Mutations

When cross-pollinating results in specific gene combinations, mutations may occur.

There is a 70% chance that when the player creates the following gene combinations, a mutated seed will result:

• → - Red Tulips with (Red/White) genes may instead mutate into Pink Tulips with (Pink/White) genes.
• → - White Tulips with (White/White) genes may instead mutate into Black Tulips with (Black/White) genes.
• →- Black Tulips with (Black/Pink) genes may instead mutate into Purple Tulips with (Purple/Blue) genes.

Note: If a flower seed mutates, a small red "Rare!" banner will display while receiving the seed.

There is also a chance that cross-pollination can fail, resulting in the player not receiving a flower seed:

• 20% failure chance when cross-pollinating using Purple Tulips.
• 10% failure chance when cross-pollinating using Red Tulips, Yellow Tulips, Orange Tulips, Black Tulips, Pink Tulips, White Tulips, or Blue Tulips.

Lloid's Seeds

You can purchase Red Tulip Seeds and Orange Tulip Seeds from Lloid in the Garden. These seeds will always have the same genes:

• - Lloid Red Tulips will always have (Red/Yellow) genes.
• - Lloid Yellow Tulips will always have (Orange/White) genes.

Knowing the genes for flowers from Lloid can allow the player to better predict what cross-pollination results are possible.

For example, cross-pollinating Lloid Red Tulips with Lloid Orange Tulips, will have the following possible outcomes:

	Genes	Red		Yellow
	Orange
		22.5%		22.5%
	White
		6.7%	15.7%	22.5%

Table Notes:

• There is a 10% chance that cross-pollinating will fail.
• There is a 15.7% chance that Red Tulips with (Red/White) genes may instead mutate into Pink Tulips with (Pink/White) genes when cross-pollinating.

Pansy Details

Dominance

The appearance of a flower is determined by color dominance, however flowers can have co-dominant (tied) colors which results in a new appearance color. For pansies, the color dominance goes:

1. Red / Yellow / Blue
2. Coral
3. Purple
4. White

Due to the co-dominance, pansies have the following gene combination per appearance:

Flower Color	Gene Combination
Orange Pansies	Red/Yellow
Red-Blue Pansies	Red/Blue
Red Pansies	Red/Coral, Red/Purple, Red/White
Yellow-Blue Pansies	Yellow/Blue
Yellow Pansies	Yellow/Coral, Yellow/Purple, Yellow/White
Blue Pansies	Blue/Coral, Blue/Purple, Blue/White
Coral Pansies	Coral/Coral, Coral/Purple, Coral/White
Purple Pansies	Purple/Purple, Purple/White
White Pansies	White/White

Additionally, some pansy colors have a higher chance of being inherited:

• Coral gene = 80% priority
• Yellow gene = 70% priority
• All other genes = 50% priority

Mutations

When cross-pollinating results in specific gene combinations, mutations can occur. There is a chance that when the player receives the following flower genes, it will result in the mutation:

• 70% chance Yellow Pansies with Yellow/Yellow genes = Coral Pansies with Coral/White genes
• 60% chance Coral Pansies with Coral/Coral genes = Blue Pansies with Blue/White genes
• 30% chance Red-Blue Pansies with Red/Blue genes = Purple Pansies with Purple/White genes

If a flower seed mutated, there will be a small red "Rare!" banner when the player receives the seed.

There is also a chance that cross-pollination could fail, resulting in the player not receiving a flower seed:

• 20% fail chance when cross-pollinating using Purple Pansies or Red-Blue Pansies
• 10% fail chance when cross-pollinating using Orange Pansies, Red Pansies, Yellow-Blue Pansies, Yellow Pansies, Blue Pansies, Coral Pansies, or White Pansies

Lloid's Seeds

When bought from Lloid in the garden, the seeds will have the same genes:

• Red Pansies = Red/White genes
• Yellow Pansies = Yellow/White genes

Knowing the genes for flowers from Lloid can allow the player to better predict what cross-pollination results are possible.

For example, cross-pollinating a Lloid Red Pansies (Red/White genes) with a Lloid Yellow Pansies (Yellow/White genes), has the following possible outcomes:

Chance of Receiving	Flower Color	Gene Combination
29%	Orange Pansies	Red/Yellow
21%	Red Pansies	Red/White
29%	Yellow Pansies	Yellow/White
21%	White Pansies	White/White
