Q: Where can I read more about cross pollination and known plants?
A: You can do so here: http://uo.stratics.com/content/basics/crosspollination.shtml
Q: Where can I see all available plants in all available colors?
A: You can do so here: http://uo.stratics.com/content/basics/plantcolors.shtml

A: You can do so here: http://uo.stratics.com/content/basics/plantgrowing.shtml#resources
Q: Are there more sites where I can learn more about plants?
A: Sure there are, you might want to try these for starters:
Lady Willow's "Little Garden"
Casey's Plant Hysteria
UO Craft's Gardening Troubleshooter
Tower of Roses - Gardening
Here are pictures of all current available plant types:
That makes a total of 17 plants, from left to right:
Campion Flowers (1st Gen)
Poppies (4th Gen)
Snowdrops (3rd Gen)
Bulrushes (4th Gen)
Lilies (2nd Gen) (previously known as White Flowers)
Pampas Grass (4th Gen)
Rushes (3rd Gen)
Elephant Ear Plant (4th Gen)
Fern (1st Gen)
Ponytail Palm (4th Gen)
Small Palm (3rd Gen)
Century Plant (4th Gen)
Water Plants (2nd Gen)
Snake Plant (4th Gen)
Prickly Pear Cactus (3rd Gen)
Barrel Cactus (4th Gen)
Tribarrel Cactus (1st Gen) (previously known as Cactus)
The point of the post you are about to read is to have the proper plants to make anything you (or your customer) wants in one week.
I have read some people are storing one of every single plant type and color, and that is fine if you have tons of free space in your house and you are one of those "I cant be bothered with it" types.
For the rest of us, we have limited room in our house, and want to maximize the storage to as few as possible.
Note, this was written under the assumption that there are 17 plant types (over 4 generations) and colors are limited to dull/bright plain/blue/red/yellow/purple/orange/green and white/black mutants. If that info changes, this guide is likely null and void.
<blockquote><hr>
The nine plants you will be storing are: TriBarrelCactus, PricklyPearCactus, Waterplant, SmallPalm, Fern, Rushes, Lillies, Snowdrops, Campion. (9 plants)
You store one for each of the major 6 colors [NO plain/white/black] (9plantsx6colors=54 total "fathers")
You store mothers of Cactus & Campions of all 7 colors [Plain too]. (2plantsx7colors=14 "mothers" per set)
IMHO four sets of mothers is perfect. (54fathers+(4setsx14mothers)=110 total)
<hr></blockquote>
Why do you need multiple sets of mothers?
If you had one set of mothers and you used a blue cactus as a mother, you no longer have the ability to make more of any desired blue at whim. Sometimes you will have multiple orders, or multiple plants you personally would like. You should have a few mothers, and when you are down to your last of any mother, have it self-pollinate. Better yet, have the father cactus&campions pollinated to the same color and type of itself and let the father grow to produce 8 seeds and don't take the seeds till you are running out of mothers.
Why do you pick four sets of mothers and not three or five?
The goal in my mind was to squeeze the entire production into one measly secure container[125 items max]! A total of 110 plants leaves you with enough room for arranging them within containers, which IMHO is necessary. If you do have a lot of space, feel free to add as many sets of mothers as youd like.
For those of you who still need more info, this guide was written assuming you know how to cross-pollinate.
An excellent quick referance is available from Willow at: http://www.celticmoon.com/plants/uogcheatsheet.html
I will not answer Q's like "How do I keep a plant in a state where it can still be pollinated to?", as that is answered in other FAQ's.
Anyhow, I will answer some other Q's you may have.
How can I make plain plants with this system?
As long as one parent is plain, it doesnt matter what the other parents color is.
Using this system, you only need plain colored mothers, and use any color to cross-pollinate it.
Do I store dull or bright versions of these plants?
You can get dull/bright children exactly the same regardless, so it does not matter whatsoever.
How do I make bright/dull of any color?
To make a bright child plant, use the same color parents.
To make a dull child, cross colors using a chart.
I know I can cross blue/red/yellow parents to make dull orange/green/purple, but how do I make dull blue/red/yellow?
1st gen seeds: blue/red/yellow
2nd gen seeds: orange/green/purple
Crossing any 1st gen color with any 2nd gen color will result in a dull 1st gen child.
[ie. Dull Blue=Shiny/Dull Blue+ any shiny/dull orange/green/purple]
Um, but how do I make [insert any plant type] here with your system?
To make anything between a fern and a cactus you use a Tri Barrel Cactus for a mother.
To make anything between a fern and a campion you use a Campion as the mother.
1.Cactus = Cactus + Cactus
2.[Single Barrel] Cacti = PricklyPear [Cactus] + [TriBarrel] Cactus.
3.Prickly = Water + Cactus.
4,Snake = Small Palm + Cactus.
5.Water = Fern + Cactus.
6.Century = Rushes + Cactus.
7.Palm = Lillies + Cactus.
8.PonyTail = Snowdrops + Cactus.
9.Fern = Campion + Cactus.
10.Ears = PricklyPear + Campion.
11.Rushes = Water + Campion.
12.Pompas = SmallPalm + Campion.
13.Lillies = Fern + Campion.
14.Balrushes = Rushes + Campion.
15.Snowdrops = Lillies + Campion.
16.Poppies = Snowdrops + Campion.
17.Campion = Campion + Campion.
Q. What is up with that little symbol in the top right of the gump?
A. <font color=red>!</font color=red> : missed last check (due to beeing in a secure container)
