![]() ![]() Saving seeds reduced cost and increased her efficacy. Gardener Sally Roth wrote in Fine Gardening that she began collecting and saving seeds after losing a favorite flower she could not replace. (One literal version of this is in fruits like clementines, whose seedless version must be cross pollinated by another clementine tree.) But annual and perennial flowers like lilies, roses, and tulips-the stars of Animal Crossing-have everything they need to pollinate themselves, and you can collect and store their seeds. Many real hybrids are sterile, meaning they either don’t produce seeds, or those seeds aren’t viable. The only complication is if you plant more than just the two desired flowers next to each other, you could get more than one combination. In New Horizons, the breeding is passive, but the outcome is almost guaranteed. This results in one of several outcomes, with the possibility that your attempt fails. In that game, you pick flowers to tap together directly. The mechanic in Animal Crossing Pocket Camp gets closer to reality, surprisingly enough. People can isolate plants with traits they want to breed in and then cross-pollinate those plants while excluding others. With plants, there are strict definitions for terms like hybrid and heirloom. Is crossing real flowers as easy as planting them together and crossing your fingers? Well, almost. (Note: Hamdan tells Popular Mechanics the information in his chart isn’t totally complete due to the constantly evolving nature of New Horizons, but he is making frequent updates with new facts he’s learned from outlets like Polygon and various gamers' YouTube channels.) In Hamdan’s chart, he’s arranged the number of flowers you need to end up with the full selection. To get your flowers in the mood for love, you have to water them, have the right two colors next to each other, and leave an empty square where a third flower can sprout. Polygon has a mathematical breakdown of which flowers “add up” to which other flowers. Let’s use what we know to examine how flower breeding in the game maps to reality. ![]()
