Flowers.... growing and harvesting

I think that growing flowers has already been suggested (and I like this idea) but what about harvesting nectar from the flowers?  We could use them for drinks, special potions, powders, and even put flowers in salads (there are edible flowers, not just dandelions...)

  • +1, also herbs, herbal  teas could give different buffs.

  • Absolutely!  I'd also love a flower arranging skill (ikebana!) -- even if it just makes bouquets that I could give to people it would be fun, and if one could make flower arrangements to decorate houses it would be the dreamiest.

  • I love it. Teas, Ikebana, salads, drinks - it all makes perfect sense to me. But then again, I have a deep love affair with flowers.

  • Flowers, herbs, tea stuff-- would give better end-game options for people...

    I could imagine perfume causing different buffs (Like making wild life 'favour' you more for a short time.) Or as it happens in real life, causing bees to be attracted to you.. eep!

  • Maybe the bees follow you home and you can start a hive.  :)

  • Additionally, if we could make perfume from flowers/nectar maybe it also attracts the Giants who give us special favors (a.k.a. regular stuff, and rare stuff.  And Super Rare Stuff).

  • Flowers, bees, hives, honey, tea, perfume--so many possibilities. Love this idea!

  • I think the different kinds of flowers should have different personalities, ala Alice in Wonderland. This one might bite you, that one cries if you leave it alone for too long, the other one over there bullies the other flowers and takes their spots/rearranges your garden... but the bitey ones make the best perfume, and the weepy ones give awesome honey when they're happy, and the bully ones attract the most bees to the garden overall.

  • I love that the link that Lord Bacon-o posted has Stoot himself with a +1.

    What if there were pollination that could happen? Maybe if the trees get pollinated properly, they can sow some new trees? Or even just drop new beans? And flowers could drop new seed packets!

    @WhizGidget - I love the idea of perfume attracting a special Giant's favor. Maybe it could be Botany I combined with Intermediate Admixing I to make IA II, or Perfumery?

    @Jennyanydots - I would love it if there were flowers with personalities and specialties.

    Makes the best use of my magical new ability to stack honey to 40.
