Rayne,
Jimmy's Boat

## Information

### Item ID

681, 1170

If the player talks to Rayne after raising her relationship to 2 ♥️♥️ hearts, she will gift the player a Plant Book called Flora.

Note: *This is the only plant book she will gift to the player.*

 With the *Bloomin' Spring Update*, Jimmy now sells the Plant Book. He claims it is *an original book*, however the artwork on the cover is different. The name of the book is Flor and there are more petals on the flower.

## Usage

Equip the book to the tool bar and use it on a plant. The book will inform the player how many days remain until the plant "matures" or produces.

*For Watermelons and Pumpkins, use the Plant Book on the spreading vines and not where the seed was planted.*
