By the time you've entered Tier 3, you will have amassed a considerable pile of [[Seed]]s. You've just unlocked your [[Planter Box]] and you've been challenged to "grow flowers".

The flowers in question are Amethelis Flowers, and they're formed of flower stalks ([[Vine]]s), topped with a flower made up of a [[Gold]] center surrounded by [[Amethelis]] petals - another valuable source of [[Gold]], and those [[Amethelis]] petals are going to be useful too. So, how do they grow?

== Preparing Your Seeds ==
[[File:seed-wetting.png|right|thumb|Moving seeds through water with Clearing Frames]]

As any gardener knows, seeds need water to grow. So the first thing you need to do is to add water to your [[Seeds]], which results (unsurprisingly) in [[Wet Seed]].

You're familiar with this process from [[Sand]], but things are quite as simple here - [[Wet Seed]] is lighter than [[Seed]], so it will rise to the top of the pile. But worse than that, [[Wet Seed]] are exactly the same density as water, so you can't just drop [[Seed]] into a pool and let a conveyor pull them out at the other end.

As with every process, there are a thousand different approaches to this - [[Launcher]]s throwing everything up and [[Filter]]s to pick out the [[Wet Seed]], dripping [[Water]] onto a pile of [[Seed]], dropping [[Seed]] slowly into a pool of [[Water]]. It really is up to you.

Personally, I prefer the simple "pool of water" approach. Because [[Wet Seed]]s float rather chaotically, I use [[Clearing Frames]] to slowly push them over to the exit [[Launcher]]. It's not the fastest or most elegant solution, but it mostly keeps up with my [[Seed]] production, and it's easily duplicated if that becomes an issue.

== Planting your Seeds ==
[[File:planting-seed.png|right|thumb|Seeds dropped onto planting boxes, grow flowers]]

Now you have your [[Wet Seed]]s, you need to drop them onto [[Planter Box]]es. The seeds need to touch the planters, so there's no direct benefit to dropping a huge pile of them on a single planter. If possible, you want to spread them out across multiple planters, to grow as many flowers as possible.

Plants grow a length of [[Vine]] stalk, end eventually form an Amethelis Flower on top. At this point, the plant growth stops.

It's worth noting at this point that under some circumstances, [[Wet Seed]] landing on a growing plant can produce new growth, causing them to grow further and further into the sky. If you don't want to be chasing flowers all over the world, box your planters in - plants won't grow through buildings so you can control how far they grow this way.
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
== Harvesting your Flowers ==
[[File:harvesting-seed.png|right|thumb|Burning flowers is a quick and easy way to harvest them]]

Once your plants have flowered, it's time to harvest them. They are like any terrain in the game - you can dig them, shoot them, or blow them up. Because [[Vine]]s are flammable, you can also burn them with [[Fire]] which is the best method; the fire will spread along the vines and jump from plant to plant, clearing the whole growing area in very little time.

The [[Vine]]s don't drop anything. The flowers, however, are a [[Gold]] centre surrounded by [[Amethelis]] petals, and these will drop once the flowers are destroyed. The [[Planter Box]]es will allow both of these materials to fall through them, so you will get a rain of [[Gold]] and [[Amethelis]] cascading from beneath the planters.

[[Amethelis]] is light and blows around in the wind; you ''can'' move it as normal with conveyors and launchers but its wispy nature makes that complicated.

[[Gold]], of course, is the heaviest element in the game and is easy to catch.

Catch the [[Gold]] and send it to your [[Collector]]s.

And as for all that [[Amethelis]]... well, that's a whole new process!
