Or just fun little items, maybe made using Arts, that could be sold and worn/hung as decorations/whatever, that take chunks of flowers to use. A few different types of things, each using a different amount of flowers, maybe that could have a specific look if you used all of one type of flower (to perhaps make those "less desirable" blossoms more likely to be sought). I don't know, it would be nice to have SOMETHING to do with them, doubly so if it was something fun.

Maybe the solstice gnomes can show us how to build wreaths and laurels.

That is if we survive this December...

Make perfume require flowers and not just spices to make?

This is what I was about to suggest! Maybe a denizen who when you give him flowers and ask nicely, he'll make a bouquet and wrap it in paper? (comms needed - letter, flowers, with a flower limit) and then it just becomes "a bouquet of mixed flowers" or roses... etc. Or maybe just able to use roses, and then have another skill in Arts/jewelry/artisan where we can make wallhangings and such that use flowers and also those brooch-y things that people wear at weddings and prom that are made of flowers...

Corsage.

A corsage is just "wear "

I meant one with multi flowers. :( Corsage yes. But with more than one. I suppose, jewelry brooches could be designed for that...

Don't let Tully get you down on your corsage dream Kayte...keep fighting.

I think I've lost. :(

Is there a compelling reason why flowers couldn't be riftable? There are only about 15 kinds of flowers and they don't have a creator's mark or any sort of customization, IIRC. I am aware that I'm speaking in ignorance here, but wouldn't making flowers riftable be an agreeable and simple solution?

I didn't mean to "get down on anybody", just that a corsage might be considering redundant if you can wear all sort of flowers. If you wear 7 flowers is it a corsage?

But I can definately see combinations like wreathes.

Market it as a flower basket, equivalent to a rift.

edit: We're kinda taking over the tweets with what should be in the ideas thread...

I think they said that decayable things = no rifty.

Right, because you could reset their decay. Introduce a picnic basket type parallel for them? Vases (pronounced vaaase, of course, long a).

The thunderbird is as large as a giant eagle, with head feathers that spread around his neck like a
mane and tail feathers that flare out behind him. His broad, translucent wings are twice as long as
the length of his body tip-to-tip and surrounded by golden lightning. With each beat of his wings,
the sound of a small thunderclap echoes around him. He preens and cleans his cerulean blue feathers
with a long curved beak, golden eyes alight with a magnificent intellect.
It has 507 months of usefulness left.

Daaaang.

Rivius:

I think they said that decayable things = no rifty.

But that is extremely easy to fix, just like how herbs work; once it's been rifted, if you pull it out (create it from the rift) it can never go back in again. Flowers just have a 12-day decay time on their own, so not many of them will exist out of the rift at any given time.

At that point, who cares if you reset the decay time when it comes out?

Or let flowers be rifted only at max decay.

Sidharta:

Or let flowers be rifted only at max decay.

They decay when in the garden or pot, which means that you would have to go check them every 12 hours...

Please don't go there.

I feel like I should have more of a stake in this as a Mayflower.
