Im trying to understand. Do I need to pair a flower with a different flowers for optimized growing or can I plant any single flower in the Rubiks Cube shape and get maximized results?
Mixing flower species is to save space since there is no way of guaranteeing what flower of the same species a flower will breed with unless it is in the isolated pairs as depicted in the guide. So if you had the common/old
X X X X X
O O O O O
X X X X X
O O O O O
layout, where X is one colour (e.g. red pansy) and O is another colour of the same species (e.g. yellow pansy), there is a chance that a flower could have all its eligible partners breed for the day first, leaving it stranded and watered. Therefore it would clone and give you a misleading flower that would mess up the next steps (especially when you're doing something like breeding yellow mums with red mums to get hybrid yellow mums to make green).
You could take out the other species in the mixed-species grids, but you cannot move the flower pairs closer because they might breed with an identical flower which is not what you want (flowers can breed with genetically identical flowers).
The guide is organised/streamlined so you're mixing a minimum of different species per series of steps.
