A completely soulless Al-generated cash grab
Every part of the game-the Ul, character designs, outfits, and even the flower artwork-looks like it was generated with the most generic, overprocessed Al model at the click of a button.
There's no sense of artistic direction or human effort anywhere. On top of that, progression is heavily paywalled.If you don't spend money, it's nearly impossible to make meaningful progress. What's even worse is that the Al-generated outfits cost at least $20 each, and there are countless sets being sold. It's honestly hard to believe they're charging real money for such low-effort Al-generated content.

It was great until...
The game was great. This past month they have started ending the benefits of VIP subscription and Ad-free subscriptions one day before they automatically renew. When I look at the in-game tabs for these programs they both say "subscription active" yet both were discontinued the day before the automatic renewal.
Deceptive ads
This game is nothing like it is portrayed in the ads. It’s a good enough game, but if you like what you saw in the ad, give this one a pass.
Game
Saw this game on all social media platforms and just like the other people just scamming away like it’s normal I have played this game for months now even spending money the advertising said you wouldn’t have to spend still no flowers after months of playing consistently this game sucks just like the others all fake promises and no real delivery
Can’t get help from customer support
Care team doesn’t care, neither does anyone on their TikTok/social media platforms. They will simply laugh in your face for their bad fake design. They issue no apology or help. They just find it hilarious. Why wouldn’t they though, just take everyone’s money and never help them when they reach out to customer service. Dont recommend unless you want to also be scammed.
SCAM
Over a month ago, I got a notification that I had won the real bouquet. The date I was supposed to receive them has passed, and the link to track it no longer works and of course they removed the way to track it from the app before the scheduled arrival date. I have been waiting for customer service in the chat for an hour. I will only change my review if I actually receive the flowers, but if that doesn’t happen then this app is definitely a scam.
Never got the bouquet after getting the flower card 2 months aho
Did not get the bouqet i won… its been two months and now my flower card disappeared.. j l already filled out the address and everything 2 months ago so can’t say i missed a step..
They don’t really offer real flowers
I’ve been playing for more than a month and nothing
This game is becoming a racket
When this game first came out you could tell what the intentions of the developers were immediately. To squeeze as much money out of the players as possible. To the point that game is not really playable nor enjoyable.
For example the season pass is 7.49 usd. The first season pass was coordinated in way that you could at least complete one arrangement of the vase. Two flowers in the pass one flower in an event. The last two season pass requires you to buy the pass and in in addition in app purchase flowers.
The way they gouging the players I don’t expect this game to last long nor will I be spending any money on it.

Rigged, Devs are MONEY HUNGRY
This game is fun IF AND ONLY IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF MONEY TO SPEND! Pretty much every move or click is paid, otherwise it'll take you foreveeeeeeeer to get the flowers and materials to cultivate it. If you're very, very patient- great! If not, you'll lose interest specially if you decided not to drop some $$$. RNG seems pretty rigged for pulls as well. They'll really make you spend $100-150 to get guaranteed. Guaranteed flower has 0.10% only! But is guaranteed after 300pulls which will cost you $150.
DEVELOPERS ARE 100% MONEY HUNGRY. Aside from paid flowers that they claim is "on sale"-but prices never change anyway, there are a couple/few event flowers a month that again, will cost you a lot of $$$ to get. They do look pretty I'll tell you that. But the purpose? Just so you can score a little higher for your guild in gcomps. Otherwise, the free flowers you get from playing are all low scoring ones.

Horrible
I never got my flowers. Customer service is terrible. Game is a carbon copy of Cozy Florist. Bunch of trolls running around the chats reporting people and bragging about it in discord. Official server has screenshots of a private server and no actions have been taken. Don’t waste your money on any of the extras, they’re not worth it.
Charging more than expected
Bought a flower for $6.99 and was charged $28 on my card. Game is already expensive enough but to be charged more than expected is just getting ridiculous
Please have a flowers return event
The game is fun, however, due to didn’t play the game from the game just release. It’s not possible to get the flowers release when the game just release. It’s very upsetting due to in the game there’s group orders that requires those flowers. Why not give the players who started late have a chance to buy those flowers?!
No follow up - game fun, flowers never showed
The game itself is amazing. Graphics are beautiful and the storyline is really well written. I joined when I saw the possibility of receiving flowers. Super excited when I was notified I won. I filled out my information properly and waited. I checked the status and saw the day of delivery change a couple of times and the it went to “delivered”. I didn’t receive anything. I tried to reach out on the game via support and email, everything seemed automated and told me to check the status (which said delivered). I even sent a note in social media which was never replied to. I gave it another month, even purchased VIP again. Yes, I did spend a little money on the game. It’s not super relaxing/fun unless VIP is purchased. Even then, lots of ads. I may or may not continue. Just disappointed.
No point to game, & no customer support
There is absolutely no point in playing this game as no instructions are provided if you contact customer support they never respond It’s just a waste of time and whatever you do don’t spend money on any type of booster packs!
Lost my account
I’ve been playing for a whole month and invested money and time into my account. I linked it to my Facebook and all the sudden today when I tried to play, it asked me to log in out of nowhere. Then when I logged in the Facebook account way, all my progress is gone. I tried reaching out to manual customer service and was waiting for 3 hours with no help! They kept putting me in a queue and it did not go down from 8th in line. I just want assistance to my account back and if I can get it, I will change my review.
No recommended
Bad customer service since I played the game for a week and I have some issues with the system and emailed them with the support team but they read the message and never responded back
to me. They just want to pay money for the game. Don’t recommend it and don’t purchase anything.

Loss of game
I tried to get my game back after it logged me out. I will never spend another dime on this game. Customer service wouldn’t even speak without an ai bot
Good game
So, I only rated this lower because I haven’t gotten far yet of harvesting for a real bouquet, so far Life Blossoms Bouquet is live and, I decided to check it out and seeing lilies in it by looking up the bouquet itself on google made me slightly disappointed, I’m like the other reviewer, I have cats and if I could win one then I wish no lilies. If I do win them we’ll Idk because where I’m from there’s cats around and my neighbors even have a cat… So far so good, takes slow to continue more if you stay up longer. Most people in chat are okay but the chat goes so fast and… also be cool to have a turn off comments section because they’re all talking about pregnancy… not too bad but it gets a lot. Been about a month still no flowers at level 21, I get it’s a lottery like system but it sucks when you expect at least one as you do win a real bouquet, especially if you have ADHD. Still a good game as a F2P though it takes more grinding. I hope for flowers soon. I see people with V.I.P and no V.I.P get one up to two flower bouquets it’s getting boring ngl and I’m now level 26.
Pay to play
It’s fun and has a lot of potential. But you’d have to spend so much money to fully play and enjoy the game
Gotta spend money
The game itself is lovely and calming. However if you want the cute stuff or certain flowers, you will need to pay real money. Current faeries, $150 to guarantee one. This isn’t a game for longevity, like any game you spend money. Sadly, there is very like balance between p2w and f2p. It’s your typical “gacha” game which takes away from the loveliness.
Fun game but...
If you're looking to farm some cute little flowers, it's a good game. There's a ton to choose from, many of which are free and acquired via "grind". This is getting 2 stars from me though because how heavily it pushes spendy packs for everything. Want flower fairies? It's $150 USD MONTHLY to get one. That's not including the blind boxes required to actually unlock those fairies. Need ingots (in-game currency) to draw "free" flowers from events or purchase cultivating supplies? You don't get very much unless you either save for months or buy the actual ingot packs with real money. Which, again, are extremely expensive and don't get far. It would be nice if the devs were a bit more realistic with their pricing and realise it makes their game quickly not so fun. Even their guild quests for boat comps have all the highest rewarding quests where you HAVE to buy the newest flowers with actual money to complete them. If you aren't the P2P type, this isn't the game for you.
No real flowers yet???!
Have been playing since the launch have even upgraded and paid for features yet I’ve still not gotten any real flowers about getting ready to stop playing!!!
