flower power, stop and smell the flowers, hour of the rose

so a number of interesting facts poped up as i franticly struggled to do research on a different project, i saw this 1st one and a night of derailment ensued, i followed interesting information around and then that transfered to flowers then to ideas for game (mabye not the best or most important)

Flower power i whould like more flowers just ask i can dig up a massive list of native europian wildflowers and uses

Bluebell Root Glue (classiclly used for arrows(mabye super arrows lol) and book bindings)
root is pulled from ground ( rarly while pulling a bluebell mabye a root is obtained) just crush and add saliva and mix in (classiclly it was chewed but is posion so was done with caution sometimes after a bit of fleching with this glue thay spit out blood)

if add more flowers bouquets can mabye become kinda like food (some combos of flowers have different effect on mental weight lp and time)

marigolds
are known to keep bugs away from plants (plant around crops to help with q?)

chickweed
is used as a leaf vegetable, often raw in salads
The plant was used by the Ainu for treating bruises and aching bones. Stems were steeped in hot water before being applied externally to affected areas (treatment for something broken?)

wood sorrow
Kiowa Indian tribe chewed wood sorrel to alleviate thirst on long trips(dare i say a stamina booster)

theres a millions of these i feel i shoudnt post a massive list basiclly but flowers are kinda interesting from food, glue, decoration,medicine, even super flamable gas from seeds(known to anceints even suspected to be moses bush), and perfumes and into my next idea

Stop and smell the flowerscause perfumes was huge in the smelly days of our ansestors

im sure perfumes suggested before but my take is basicly small temp boost (repels boar, attracts rats,animals run sooner/ dont run at all)

hour of the roses

well this is only a thoery people have but the romans (rich romans) during feasts layed rose petals everywhere on ground inches thick (so my idea is if drops a ton of rose hips in a house acts like bonfire?)

+1 for more wild flowers and herbs. I've noticed that the addition of all the new animals has made it more of a challenge to track down specific types of animals. Adding more herbs would do the same for foraging.

More flowers and herbs are always welcome. Thanks for these suggestions!
