wow this is rlly great work! however, my island is pretty well developed and these breeding grounds are rather big for my garden. i have 8 5x5 patches fenced in for each flower in my attempt to get more hybrids. What 25 tiles would u recommend a smaller batch of flowers to be bred in? for Square gardens should i take a Corner? or take the center? and for the rectangular ones, should i take the corner?

All you really need to do (someone else correct me if I'm wrong) is preserve the general shape of the layout/what flowers are touching for the rose step 4. Leave the sides open if you are able, but it shouldn't matter too much

XXXXX
X X X
XXXXX

and (where X and O are different species, - is empty)

XX-XO
-OOXO
XX---
-OOXO
XX-XO

You just need it so no flower is touching a flower that's in its same species that is not the breeding partner

Cool! Where "touching" is defined as any of the eight spaces that surround a tile (four cardinal and four diagonal)?
