MOVED TO RD FOR DISCUSSION
Alright, here are my suggestions:
Boquet of Roses:
Resources Needed: 100 grams of Roses, 10 grams of string
Tools needed: Scissors
Days Needed: 1
Boquet of Daisies:
Resources Needed: 100 grams of Daisies, 10 grams of string
Tools needed: Scissors
Days Needed: 1
Boquet of Buttercups:
Resources Needed: 100 grams of Buttercups, 10 grams of string
Tools needed: Scissors
Days Needed: 1
Boquet of Tulips:
Resources Needed: 100 grams of Tulips, 10 grams of string
Tools needed: Scissors
Days Needed: 1
Assorted Boquet:
Resources Needed:25 grams of Roses, 25 grams of Daisies, 25 grams of Buttercups, 25 grams of Tulips, 10 grams of string
Tools needed: Scissors
Days Needed: 1.5
I also think that the rot rates should be very high with no possibility of repair. I think the regular boquets should rot completly away within a Cantr year, and the Assorted Boquet in 2 years. This would cause the items to be a novelty, and keep people making more of them to give away or sale. I am sure there would be some florist shops opening up...

Did anyone mention, that they should be visible, like a telescope for example?

Looks good to me. How does this compare with the flower requirements for the vase?

I agree, they should be visible to others.

The ony Vase I see that uses flowers is the "Rose in porcelain vase". It uses 10 grams of rose, but that us because it is a single rose. 100 grams would be about 10 roses which is what these projects use in their boquets...

Elros, just make sure that you spell it bouquet, not boquet.
I also agree with the very high rot rate.

Are the scissors really necessary? I'm pretty sure I can rip a piece of string apart with my hands. Or cut it with a bone knife.

Well the scissors are used to cut the stems of the flowers as well. Not only are scissors realistic since flower shops use them, but they also it make it a little harder to make these. We want these "bouquets"(
T.A.F.K.A. Surly ) to be novelty items that are actually meaningful and a little hard to get. We don't want bouquets being passed out like loin cloths.

I see. I assume you could cut the stems with a knife, too, but if you don't want savages to run around with flower bouquets I'm okay with that. After all you can still pass around unarranged flowers.

Aren't flowers already rare and take long to gather?

Depends on the location. At least when flowers are put in water, then the stems should never be cut with scissors since it crushes the cell structure and the flowers can't get enough water. But if they're not put in water then I guess it wouldn't matter. I'd still rather they used a knife. Primitive people have very little things they can make.

Well, you can gather the required flowers in less than a day and since they can be grown in gardens they will be available everywhere sooner or later.

Yeah exactly, poor people as you call them can pass around plain flowers and richer people(which just means they have string and scissors) can pass around bouquets.
Also, the project only takes like 1 day worth of flowers, so they are not that hard to make, and as you pointed out, with herb gardens growing, they will become even more popular.

If you wanted them to be fancy, you could use silk cloth for a ribbon. They're deteriorating items anyway, I find it silly that artificial limits are placed just to make something luxury.

Ok, I added a Rose Bouquet into the database under awaiting approval. As soon as Celesb takes a look at it and lets me know if it looks good then I will make the other types of boquets and implement them.

Using silk ribbon would eliminate flower bouquets from the one island that has the most varieties of flowers, as there's no silk at all in the Kasparov archipelago.
