The Floracle
iPhone / Style de vie
Each session pairs flowers from a database of nearly 400 North American
wildflowers. You choose — by instinct, by beauty, by something harder
to name — and the plants you're drawn to shape the oracle reading you
receive at the end. The reading is written in second person, present
tense, and grounded in real plant biology. The flower doesn't represent
a human quality by metaphor. The flower is the metaphor, immersed in
science. WHAT'S INSIDE
The Floracle — a 10-round botanical oracle game. Each round presents
two wildflowers. Choose one. At the end, the plant you chose most often
in its category becomes your gift — a new flower added to your garden,
with its own oracle reading and full botanical profile.
My Garden — your collected plants, organized and browsable. Each
flower's botanical note describes the real mechanisms behind its
biology: how it pollinates, what it eats, what eats it, how it
survives fire or salt or altitude. Tap through to its iNaturalist range
map.
22 Botanical Challenges — a field botany education disguised as a
collection game. Unlock challenge categories by encountering enough
plants that belong to them. The Aeolians: wind-pollinated species. The
Chemists: plants that deploy allelopathy and phytohormone mimicry. The
Grifters: flowers that deceive pollinators with no reward. The Flame
Outs: species whose seeds require literal wildfire to germinate. Each
category is its own short course in plant biology. Each unlocked
challenge reveals a tarot Arcana card.
Plant of the Day — a different wildflower every day, drawn from the
full catalog.
THE BOTANY IS REAL
The oracle readings are written in the voice of a field botanist who
also reads tarot. The botanical notes describe actual mechanisms —
buzz pollination, myrmecochory, cleistogamy, karrikin response — in
language that doesn't require a glossary but rewards curiosity. Every
plant in this catalog has been selected and described with taxonomic
accuracy. The metaphors earn their place.
Nearly 400 wildflowers. 22 botanical challenge categories. 22 Major
Arcana tarot cards as rewards. One question per round.
