Why doesn't an aether flower garden show in a QL/short room description? Is it possible to make it that way?

Because the area might not be appropriate for a formal cultivated garden look?

Why does it matter? If you LOOK, it is there... and if you have verbose mode on (is that default?) you see it as well.

But you don't see it as you walk by, like you do with say, my astrolabe.

Yeah, I always wondered this. It's also odd that you can't PROBE GARDEN to see what flowers are growing, you have to LOOK to see them.

Right, no probing, no QL, gardens get the short end of the stick.

I wouldn't call it the short end of the stick. I'm sure there is a logical reason to the way they are set-up.

It would also be cool if you could do FLOWERS and see the item numbers so you can GET FROM GARDEN instead of only being able to pick the first one

Then you could have a garden of only black roses, or something like that.
