Long

Heirbloom is a garden game for phones about breeding flowers. Every flower carries real genes, two copies of each, one from each parent. You see the stronger copy; the other waits, so two plain parents can give you a striped seedling if both were hiding stripes.

There are over a dozen species, from daisies that bloom in minutes to a queen of the night that takes days, and about twenty genes for colour, pattern, petal shape, size, doubling and more. Each new kind you grow gets a page in your Florilegium, a book of flower portraits. Nothing in the garden wilts or dies, and plants keep growing while you're away.

The garden looks like a tabletop model shot close up: a quiet, low-poly world of stone, moss and weathered wood, where the flowers are the only bright things in it. Heirbloom is made by one person, Tyson.

The bloom is split rose and apricot down the middle: one flower carrying two parents. Please keep it as drawn: don't recolour, stretch or add effects to it, and leave space around it the height of the "H". On a photo, put it on a paper plate.
