There is a sale in Family Farm Seaside that offers a new Friendship Flower named the Ice Cream Friendship Flower. The concept of the Friendship Flower is a good one, but the likelihood of obtaining one naturally through crossbreeding is very rare, evidently. With all the crossbreeding I have done, I never created one. Apparently the developers have realised this and given us the opportunity to purchase a new type. The rewards when the Flower is crossbred are greater than those given by an ordinary Friendship Flower or the Macaron Friendship Flower. For example, where the Macaron Friendship Flower gives 1900 Coins, 1 OP, 1 Organic Fertiliser, 1 Yellow Mystron, 1 Electric Saw, 1 Macaron Road and 3 RC, the ice Cream Friendship Flower gives 8 RC. That is the only Reward, but it is a good one!
To crossbreed an Ice Cream Friendship Flower, you first must tend it until it matures and then crossbreed with one of your own Level 1 Flowers. You and the owner of the Friendship Flower then should receive a gift bag containing 8 RC.
Incidentally, at the same time that the Ice Cream Friendship Flower was released, a new Level 1 Flower appeared in the Mystery Store. It is the Colourful Plumeria and it costs 500 Coins, It appears to be the fastest growing flower in the game at present. It does not appear in the Book yet and the vacant spot that did exist now has disappeared. I have brought a number of them to maturity and crossbred them but they transformed into Level 2 super Viola Flowers. I think the beautiful Colourful Plumeria may have been a temporary item, as I now am not finding them in the Mystery Shop any longer, sadly.
Remember that you can sell any Flower in your Garden, even one that has not matured yet. Sometimes, one sacrifices a new Level 2 Flower to be able to place a new Level 1 Flower, especially if a Neighbour has a mature Friendship Flower in your Garden waiting to be crossbred. If you have the same Level 2 Flower or have had it in the past, it will be in your Book... you do gain more Stars if you bring the Flower to maturity and selling one that is not mature yet gives you nothing but 2000 Coins. It will not be registered as a 'sale' in the Book. Even so, with limited space in the Garden, it can be worth doing in my opinion.
Note that the Flower Book has the following:
Sell (up to 3 Stars)
Coins (up to 3 Stars)
Crossbreed 2 (up to 3 Stars)
The categories are:
Level 1 Flowers
All can be purchased from Mystery Shop
Level 2 Flowers
Crossbreeding
Level 3 Flowers
Crossbreeding
Neighbour Flowers
At present, the Book contains the following entries:
Level 1 Flowers
Epiphyllum
Chrysanthemum
Venus Flytrap
Viola Tricolour
Level 2 Flowers
Super Lily
Super Viola Tricolour
Super Epiphyllum
Super Venus Flytrap
Super Chrysanthemum
Super Jagger Lips
Level 3 Flowers
Mega Chrysanthemum
Mega Epiphyllum
Mega Rafflesia
Maga Rose
Mega Viola Tricolour
Mega Venus Flytrap
Mega Lily
Mega Jagger Lips
Neighbour Flowers
Super Cupcake Flower
Mega Cupcake Flower
Cupcake Flower
Lollipop Flower
Doughnut Flower
Super Doughnut Flower
Mega Doughnut Flower
Mega Lollipop Flower
Blank entry (could become the Macaron Flower?)
Blank entry (could become the Ice Cream Friendship Flower?)
Super Lollipop Flower
The only reason that the Macaron and Ice Cream Friendship Flowers might not be entered in the Book is the fact that they were time-limited. How could one obtain all Stars if they cannot be obtained again? The Colourful Plumeria, on the other hand, should be an entry at some point. Whether flowers we have matured before the entry is made will be counted or not is another matter.
I believe that the item obtained by crossbreeding is entirely random. On my lower level farm, I obtained one of the rare Jagger Lips. On my higher level farm, where I have planted, crossbred and matured MORE Flowers, I never obtained anything unusual!
This was discussed in an earlier post, but I might as well repeat the information here. Recently, there was an offer for a special Macaron Friendship Flower. It was a Neighbour Flower like the Ice Cream Friendship Flower but there were items that could be received if you met the requirements. These were the Spoon Shovel and the Macaron Flower Decorations. To obtain these, you first had to buy 8 Macaron Friendship Flowers (for the Spoon Shovel) and a total of 10 for the Macaron Friendship Flower. In other words, you would meet the requirement for both by purchasing a total of 10.
Registration of Macaron Road:
1 Medal, 8 Organic Fertilisers
Registration of Spoon Snovel:
2 Medal, 15 Green Mystrons
Registration of Macaron Flower:
3 Medals, 20 Green Mystrons
Collection:
Includes Macaron Road, Spoon Shovel and Macaron Flower
3 Medals, 200 OP, 1 RC
There is a Collection called 'Macaron Friendship Flower' as well. This is time-restricted, unfortunately. At the end of June, one has only 15 more days to complete the Collection.
The problem here is that you will not receive the Decorations until you have opened the required number of Gift Bags. In other words, your Neighbours have to bring a total of 8 Macaron Friendship Flowers to maturity in order for you to obtain the Spoon Shovel. It has to be placed on the original Seaside Farm for registration. Only when you have opened the 8th Gift Bag will you obtain it. Two more Gift Bags for a total of 10 will give you the Macaron Flower Decoration. You need to register the Macaron Road, the Spoon Shovel and the Macaron Flower to obtain the Collection Reward.
This is of more interest to farmers who want 100% Collection than other Farmers. You can gain all the Achievements for Gallery Registration with only a few Registrations!
A note finally about the expanded Mystery Shop or Store. In the past, there was only the options to use Green Mystrons or Yellow Mystrons to purchase random items that changed daily. Now there is a Coin Shop and a Blue Mystron Shop. You will find that the Blue Mystron Shop contains Decorations usually that were obtained only when a time-restricted Quest was completed. The only way at present to earn the coveted Blue Mystrons is by completing EVERY Order Board Reward. Once this has been done, you will begin to earn Blue Mystrons when you complete Orders. This means, in effect, that it is a rather advanced game option.
The Order Board has been expanded, however, to give you a greater number of Daily Orders to fill, making it easier to earn the various Rewards that are in a specific sequence. The ones that appear as wrapped Gifts are the various Sheep that provide Farm Aids for a limited time. Register these in the Gallery. I warn you, however, that it takes DAYS to complete a Registration of any one of these special Farm Aid-dispensing Sheep!
Finally, the Coin Mystery Shop is one that offers a number of interesting items, including Materials, Crops, other Products, Farm Aids and Seafood. It is the source of your Level 1 Flowers as well. You have a total of four screens filled with different random items. Once you have exhausted these, you need to wait for time to pass in order to be able to find new screens with new items. For those of us who do not love the fishing option, the Coin Shop is a wonderful way to keep our seafood in stock!

Neighbours' Day Quests
A new time-restricted Quest has been released in Family Farm Seaside.
At the same time, there is a special purchase in a sale that requires access both to the Island itself and to the Garden there, which means that it is available only to fairly advanced Farmers.
At present, you can purchase a Macaron Friendship Flower through your provider and place it on a Neighbour's Farm, provided you have unlocked your Greenhouse. I think this sale has been released because it is so slow to advance in the Garden to the point where you can breed your own Friendship Flower. The Friendship Flower that can be purchased must be placed first in your Greenhouse and then on a Neighbour's Farm.
The whole procedure is a little vexing as Neighbours do not always have an unlocked plot available for your Friendship Flower. You first have to find an unlocked plot on a Neighbour's farm and then hope that the Neighbour is an active player.
At the same time, in the actual market, you can purchase, under the Decorations Category, a Duck Habitat which is involved in the Neighbours' Day Quest. Evidently, this quest will run until 3 June.
The Duck Habitat, once placed, must be built with the following:
100 Duck Habitat Leaf (Leaves) (Request from Neighbours)
10 Duck Habitat Lotus Leaf (Random item inside Cooking Stand Bag)
5 Duck Habitat Lotus Flowers (Quest reward)
Once completed, the Duck Habitat will become a Cleanable Decoration that yields a Silver Gift Box
Incidentally, as the Duck Habitat Lotus Leaf is a random result and you have a limit at present of 42 Cooking Stand Gift Bags, I obtained only 5 from all 42 of mine. Evidently, you CANNOT buy the Duck Habitat Lotus Leaf materials, as 'Finish Building' is applicable only when you have all the materials. It is very annoyiing to discover that OTHER Farmers were able to complete theirs in a single day. I have 'eaten' the maximum number of Neighbour Dishes at their Cooking Stands for the day and only have half of the required Lotus Leaf materials for the Habitat. I suppose the entire point of this Quest was to force Farmers to visit their Neighbours to eat their Dishes... but still... Later: It took me two days to complete the Habitat and I had to use all 42 of my Cooking Bags each day to do so.

New Gallery Registration Items
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
This is kind of important if you are the sort of player who wishes to have all Gallery Items. There is a sale running through 1 June that offers the Macaron Friendship Flower that can be placed on a Neighbours' Farm provided all requirements are met. For those players who think that a single purchase suffices, think again. If you wish to earn the Sppon Shovel Decoration, you must purchase 8 of these. To earn the Macaron Flower Decoration, you have to purchase 10 of these. Furthermore, purchase is not enough to earn the Decorations. You will earn them only when you have OPENED a total of 8 and 10 packages respectively. A Macaron Friendship Flower package cannot be opened until you have a free spot in your Greenhouse. The number of spots depend on your Garden Level. I try to interact with my garden constantly but I only have 1 spot in my Greenhouse so far. At Level 15, one gains another spot... As of 31 May, you still have 31 days to complete the Macaron Flower Collection, but I think that lower level players and even mid-level players like myself may be hard-pressed to do this. The developers erred where this particular goal is concerned by making it far too difficult. Perhaps I will contact them. After all, they listened when I begged for the return of the Iris, albeit they brought it back as a temporary Crop once again!

Crossbreeding Neighbour Flowers
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I should have sussed this out long ago but failed to do so, as I continued to tend my Neighbours' Friendship Flowers on my farm without ever crossbreeding them. I thought that one had to crossbreed between NEIGHBOUR Flowers, which is not the case at all. You crossbreed a Neighbour's Flower with one of your own Mature Flowers. Unfortunately, the Flowers MUST be of the same level so if your mature flowers are Level 3 and your mature Friendship Neighbour's Flower is Level 1, you will have to wait until one of your Level 1 Flowers matures.
I think many players have missed this as my Friendship Flowers on Neighbour farms matured long ago and nothing has been done with them. Great pity.... Ah well, live and learn!
Decoration Warehouse Changes
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
This has nothing whatsoever to do with the Neighbours' Day Quest or sale but I encountered it while attempting to clear a few Decorations temporarily from my farm today. With 190 Slots in my Warehouse, I had thought I would have no trouble, but in fact was allowed to store only 5 under the new system!
Note: I had noticed the change in the Warehouse some time ago but did not realise that, even with my Warehouse maxed out at 190 Storage, I could not store more than 5 Decorations! In order to allow storage of more Decorations, you now must expand the 'Decoration' part of the Warehouse by requesting Goods Shelves from your Neighbours or paying 1 RC for each of these. You need 5 to expand from the original 5 slots to 10 and 20 to expand from 10 to 15. To expand to 20, you need the following:
20 Goods Shelf (Request from Neighbour or pay 1 RC for each)
2 Fire Extinguisher (3 RC Each)
5 Wooden Panels (Craft on Island or pay 1 RC each)
10 Nails (Craft on Island or pay 1 RC for each)
At the same time, there is a special purchase in a sale that requires access both to the Island itself and to the Garden there, which means that it is available only to fairly advanced Farmers.
At present, you can purchase a Macaron Friendship Flower through your provider and place it on a Neighbour's Farm, provided you have unlocked your Greenhouse.
