Looking at Botania's newest generating flora, the Dandelifeon! It's based on Conway's Game of Life. I cover the lexica entry, then show a partial setup for the flower, as well as a pattern that seems to produce a good amount of mana.
Can you find any good patterns? Let me know in the comments!
I also give my two cents on the issue with passive flowers. Hopefully, I won't regret that. But you're civil, mature individuals. Right?
