Flower order from top to bottom: white flower with red center; red bud plus white flower; red bud, double-leaf stem, plus white flower; then plain red bud, lower-leaf stem, upper-leaf stem, and plain white flower. Read each row left to right, then take the bouquet and stone tablet to continue Day 1. For the optional Ruining the Bouquet achievement, feed the bouquet to the goat before milking it, then give the half-eaten bouquet to Alexandra.
Place the flowers in these four rows
Read each row from left to right, starting at the top. The labels describe the visible petals, center, and leaf traits so you can match the pieces in your own game.
What to do
- 01Open the flower pot in the Day 1 garden.
Inspect the pattern on the pot, then use the four-row layout below instead of sorting by flower color alone.
- 02Place the base row first.
From left to right, place the plain red bud, the stem with lower leaves, the stem with upper leaves, and the plain white flower. Build upward from this four-flower row.
- 03Combine two neighbors, not two matching colors.
Each piece above combines the traits of the two pieces directly beneath it. A leaf stem plus a white bloom produces a white bloom with those leaves. Check the leaf positions as well as the flower color when an arrangement looks almost right.
- 04Finish the upper three rows.
Use the three-flower, two-flower, and one-flower rows exactly as shown. The top piece is the white flower with the red center and both leaf sets.
- 05Collect the rewards.
When the pot accepts the arrangement, take the bouquet and the stone tablet, then continue to the tablet box and the raised flag.
- 06Optional: Ruining the Bouquet achievement.
Before milking the goat in the garden, use the bouquet on it. Then give the half-eaten bouquet to Alexandra; her later comment is the reported achievement trigger. Do this before the milk interaction, which can make the goat leave.
