Flowers and bees, crops and trees
I love the idea of growing flowers for sale and decoration. I am a new player and have only just discovered the forums, so bear with me if I'm repeating old news or otherwise not in the right place.
Am I right that sunflowers are a crop that comes up at higher levels? I live in an area where sunflowers are grown and I have taken pictures of the beehives that are brought to the fields so the hard-working little bees can pollinate the crops. One of my early thoughts was that bees are such an integral part of the farming process that they would be a natural item for Hay Day. Not only would they produce honey which could be used as an ingredient in other products, but the beeswax could become candles for sale. (Gift shop in Town with jewelry and clothing??)
Something that would be more complicated in terms of programming but would be authentic and add a new level of interest to trees and crops would be to introduce a way for the bees to increase or speed up crop yield. For example, instead of the option of using diamonds to get an instant crop yield, a beehive could be used to double a crop yield of something that takes a long time to mature.
There are already a bunch of roses in hedges. It would be nice if there were some way to pick the roses and sell them. I've seen a number of farms where crop fields are used decoratively. I'm picturing rose bushes--or arbors--where you plant the bush and it flowers. These could work like the trees and berry bushes. The hedge roses are smaller than a crop field. I'm sure that the programmers could allow the bushes to produce flowers on something smaller so there wouldn't be too much room taken up.
That's just an example. I can see having special seasonal flowers to plant in a flower bed. Maybe the flower bed could consist of tiny plots that become available at successive levels and grow like crop fields.
I'm getting carried away. Can you tell I'm already a Hay Day enthusiast!!
