How to Get the Flowers

The flowers needed for the Hello Kitty Red Bow are all flowers from Merry Meadow. By default, the player gets 1 of the 4 flower types as their Meadow's wildflower, which grows in its default colors when they plant Seeds. The other 3 types of Meadow flowers must be obtained as seed packets from opening Mystery Seed Capsules.

Once you obtain any color of a flower as a seed or seedling, you can obtain more of that color by planting, watering, and fertilizing it. Fertilizer gives a 10% chance of making a new seed or plant in any empty flower plot around it. Watering makes a flower bloom faster. Non-patterned plucked blooms can be turned into seed packets at the Seed Dispenser in order to plant more of the flower.

The Dandelily and Tulias can come in red by default, so red ones of those types can be obtained simply by planting Seeds (if one is the Meadow wildflower) or by opening more Mystery Seed Capsules (if not the Meadow wildflower).

The Bellbutton and Penstemum cannot come in red by default. The color needs to be transferred into their species by crossbreeding with red & patterned flowers. (Refer to the "Primary Transfers" section of the Flowers page for a full details.)

A flower can get a pattern with the application of Fertilizer. The chance of a pattern appearing is 1% with every application. Application of Fertilizer to a non-patterned █ red Dandelily or Tulias has the chance to turn it into a █ red & █ white ombre Dandelily or Tulias.

Red Tulias █	+	Fertilizer	=	1% chance: Red & White Ombre Tulias █ █
Red Dandelily █	+	Fertilizer	=	1% chance: Red & White Ombre Dandelily █ █

With a red & patterned flower, crossbreeding can be done as shown in the table below.

Example Results of Crossbreeding for Red Flowers

Parents			→	4 Possible Offspring
red & patterned flower (Red & White Ombre Tulias) █ █	+	any color Penstemum (Sky Penstemum) █	=	1-2% chance: combination of parents (Red Penstemum) █	1-2% chance: clone of patterned flower (Red & White Ombre Tulias) █ █
				most likely: solid clone of patterned flower (Red Tulias) █	most likely: clone of other flower (Sky Penstemum) █

The most basic setup for breeding flowers together is side-by-side pairs, as shown below. The additional flower one space away from the pair allows for 3 additional breeding opportunities. While shown in a row format, this setup also works if arranged in a column.

Any space with an asterisk (*) is where a possible red penstemum can appear. This setup can also be extended by chaining pairs of flowers together.

Tips for Crossbreeding

1. Always keep the parent flowers plucked and fertilized. Fertilization boosts the chances for offspring to appear and also boosts the chance of crossbreeding successfully.
2. Always remove any newly produced seeds/plants by troweling them up so that they do not interfere with the desired parents crossbreeding.
3. Keep 2 empty plots between any other flower pairs to prevent the pairs from interfering with each other. Any flowers that are touching or have 1 empty plot between them can crossbreed.
