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.
My Garden tale
I enjoy the game. It is visible pretty, and the music is calming. And the ads are not forced on you. You can choose to watch them. However, I lost access this morning. I opened the app as usual and found a log in that did not recognize my email. So I had to create a new account. I won’t be playing anymore because I have lost hours of game play and money. I thought I had bonded my email to the game account but apparently not. I am so saddened by this turn of events. I really enjoyed this game.
This game is not fun when you reach higher levels
At first the game seems fun. They sent an actual bouquet to me. You don’t do much accept grow flowers. However, must of the things that you need to get in order to get experience to level up are of higher amount values so it takes forever to level up after awhile. When you reach about 34-36 you will nearly have cultivated all the available flowers.
The biggest issue that I have with this game is that most of the flowers cannot be obtained unless spend money 6.99 and higher to buy digital flowers.
I spent about $300 in the game. I got a fresh bouquet of flowers that would’ve costed me $20 at the grocery store to get and I’m at a point where I can’t get more of the rare flowers unless I pay more money. you can’t even get some of the rare items without at least dropping $150.
The story is really cool so far they have 80+ chapters and unfortunately you painstakingly get only 600 credits a day to go through parts of the story so you don’t even get to finish full chapters in the day.
The game eventually does become boring with the exception of the story picking up.unfortunately, if you level up in your guild, you can get demoted if you. Have enough participation. Because the items in the game are at such a high cost in most cost actual money to get participation has dwindled so good luck trying to build a guild that actually participate after some time.
Total money grabber.

Game not working
Does anyone else’s game load to 99 and stop?
Gambling Addiction Disguised as Cozy Gaming
Technically free to play, but if you don’t want it to be a slog fest, you have to buy things. It lures you in with the free flowers and vases, but then to even use some of those free vases you have to buy in-game flowers with REAL money. Ads everywhere unless you pay for a month of ad free. I’m embarrassed to admit I’ve spent a decent amount of money leveling up. Not to mention the flower fairy mode, which is unlocked with literal gambling with real money. Do not play if you want to be smart with your finances.
Be careful of purchasing
*update* they’ve muted my chat, ban my participation in guild activities, and took my ranking off all because they failed to give me the items I bought and they don’t like that I’m speaking out and giving them a “bad” rating!
I loved this game but after recent purchases, it’s become very upsetting. I purchased the Blossom Jade bundle twice, thinking that the first time did not process since the Jade did not show up on my account. When I tried to purchase a whole page of flowers in the flower shop, it said I had no blossom jades. I reached out to Apple for help since I found that I was charged twice. Then the app took away items that I paid for as a punishment for reaching out to Apple. They said it’s because I’ve received a refund when in fact I have not! Be careful of purchasing, even with receipts they are taking over my account and withholding items from me that I purchased. It’s quite upsetting since I’ve supported the app well. I’ve loved the community and the overall game itself but it sucks that the developers lack customer service a their support is useless.

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!!!
Game is a Money Grab
Typical grow and collect flower game that is fun before you have to start spending money to advance and watch lots of ads. I’d rather pay for a game up-front than feel coerced to make in-app purchases to move forward.
The flowers I won
The first flowers I’ve won from this game. I just got them today, March 10, 2026 and they were almost dead when I got them. I want them over two weeks ago and FTD could not find an order or anything.
