Part 1. Introduction
==============
Well here is my very first guide ever and it's on breeding flowers
in Animal Crossing: Wild World since I've gotten pretty good at it.
Anyhow the two main reasons to breed hybrid flowers are 1) to sell
the hybrids and make money and 2) to make your town look nicer.
In this guide I will list all the flower types and their prices to
sell them at Tom Nook's and how to get each type of flower. I will
also give you some ways to plant your flowers to get the most out of
your flower breeding.

==============
Part 1a. Growing Flowers
==============
Every day 3-5 flowers will grow in your town. A few flowers are
completely random and will only be one of the three basic colors.
Sad to say there's no way to stop this. The rest are flowers that
grew from parent flowers and will be either the color of one of the
parent colors, or a hybrid color. You may not get a hybrid color
every single day but as long as you care for your flowers and keep
only hybrid producing flowers touching you will get a hybrid sooner
or later (Usually soon. :D) Also, Hybrids will appear in an empty
spot directly next to one of the parent flowers that spawned it.
The same applies to flowers that grew from parents but are just
basic colors. The random flowers can appear anywhere in your town.

Also The more flowers you have in your town increases your chances
of breeding a flower greatly.

==============
Part 1b. Caring for your flowers
==============
Every day you should go through your town and water your "dying"
flowers. (And also pick up and move any new flowers that appeared)
These are the flowers that have turned brown and look wilted. They
only need to be watered once, but multiple times do not hurt. When
watering try to make sure the water goes to about the middle of the
flowers. If you unsure whether or not it got watered, just water it
again but maybe do it from a different angle to be sure. Also note
that watering does not increase your chances of making a hybrid but
if you do not water your flowers when they wilt, they will die and
disappear. Watering does not affect non-wilted flowers in any way.
Also (again lol) If it is raining in your town, you do not need to
water your flowers for that day. The rain counts as watering your
flowers.

Part 3. Flower Breeding
==============

In order to breed flowers, Two flowers of the same type
must be touching, either horizontally, vertically, or
diagonally.

Horizontal      Vertical        Diagonal

XXXXXXX         XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
XXFFXXX XXXFXXX XXXFXXX
XXXXXXX XXXFXXX XXXXFXX

When breeding flowers the parent flowers have a chance
of producing either 1)a normal flower that is the color
of one of the parents or 2) a hybrid flower that is a
special color. This means you can breed a hybrid flower
with another hybrid of the same type to get more hybrids.

Example.
A Red Rose and a Yellow Rose can produce either:
a Red Rose, A Yellow Rose or an Orange Rose.

Whereas an Orange Rose and a Red rose can produce
either: a Red Rose or another Orange Rose.

also, An Orange Rose and a Pink Rose can produce
either an Orange Rose or a Pink Rose.

==============
Part 4. Optimal Flower Breeding
==============

Here are some examples of how to plant your flowers so they
will have a better chance to breed a rare flower. when placing
flowers try to keep only flowers that have a chance of spawning
a hybrid touching. like let Red and Yellow Cosmos touch each
other but try not to let Yellow and White cosmos touch each other.

I would recommend going through your town and putting all your
flowers like this making it so that only flowers that have
a possibility of producing a hybrid are touching.

Now you'll notice these plots all have a row of red then
either a row of yellow or white then another row of red,
then a row of yellow or white again, with the Yellow and
white colors alternating. And you'll also probably notice
there are no rows of Red touching. Ill explain this later.

For these grids R = Red version of flower, W = White,
Y = Yellow, and B = Boundry of your garden.

Basically you want to plant all your flowers like this,
touching diagonally. Also make sure only the same breeds
of flowers are touching.(Roses,Tulips etc.)

You'll probably want to do another plot of
diagonally touching flowers just like those except
using white pansies only.

Planting your flowers like this will give you optimum results
for getting most hybrids. Except for the hybrids you get from
same color flower breeding, Like Red roses and Red roses, or
White pansies with White pansies.

For the colors of flowers that produce hybrids with themselves,
like most (but not all) red flowers I would recommend planting
them around your neighbours houses in the spots they randomly
plant flowers. This will keep them from planting random flowers
and give you more chances to get hybrids.

EXAMPLE

F = Where you should put a Flower, H = Their house,
O = The open spot where their door is.

FHHHHF
FHHHHF
FHHHHF
FHHHHF
FFFOFF
FFFFFF

Remember to use only one type of flower per each house, (Red Roses
only or Yellow Tulips only) The Flowers you would want to
surround your neighbours houses with are:

Red Roses
White Roses

Red Tulips
Yellow Tulips

Red Cosmos

Red Pansies
White Pansies

==============
Part 5.Frequently Asked Questions
==============
Q: I have found a flower not listed in your guide, Its called a "Sun Cosmos"
A: A Sun Cosmos Is what the Yellow Cosmos are actually called in the game.

Q: Ive planted my flowers but Im not getting in hybrids why?
A: A, either you waited one day or B, You waited at least a week and still got
no Hybrids. As I said before, It can take many days to get a hybrid so have
patience. If you have waited at least a week, Then you must have flowers
touching that can't possibly breed hybrids  So check your gardens for
different species flowers touching and also for colors touching that dont breed.

Q: Do Jacobs ladded or Dandylions count as weeds?
A: No I do not believe so.
