I seem to find a flower, every 21-55 pages (I've counted).
Is it just me, or does anyone else have issues with the frequency of flowers? I seem to remember floating items being a lot more frequent. It was never this few and far between.
I'm having no issues with frequency. In fact, sometimes the flowers annoyingly show up when I don't want them to (like when I'm trying to clear my inventory so that I can use the zapper). :)
Could it be that you're just having a hard time spotting them? I'd highly recommending adding the below coding to your Custom CSS. It's not mine, but I've had it through several events now, and it is extremely helpful in making the floating items easy to spot. It puts a thick yellow border around it and fixes it on every page, except pet profiles.
* {box-sizing:border-box;}
.floating_item {display:block!important;position:fixed!important;top:100px!important;left:500px!important;right:auto!important;bottom:auto!important;box-shadow:0 0 6px ;opacity:1.0; border:12px solid gold;}
.floating_item:hover{opacity:1.0;}
.floating_item center {display:block!important;}
they seem okay to me? They've always had a time-limiter, maybe you're clicking faster this year. The price of the Vesnali Coin has dropped quite a bit, which is unusual.
A lot more of the possible flowers are useful in bouquets than before, so flowers you might grant for coins now you might choose to save and build a bouquet with yourself? This might make it seem like you are getting less.
I've been monitoring the flowers I've found for the past hour, and I've come to the conclusion that the number of pageviews has very little to do with frequency. My pageviews between flower sightings range from 10 to 103 (very few pageviews while doing battle quests; very many pageviews while doing regular quests).
So I started monitoring time intervals as well, and I found that this was much more consistent. I found a flower every 1.5 to 3.5 minutes, with 2 minutes being the most frequent interval. There are other things that confirm that this is the more accurate measurement of flower frequency, such as two pages loading at the same time, both with flowers on them, right about when I would have expected them.
I'd still highly recommend the coding I posted. It makes it so much easier to spot them. :)
