Garden with Insight v1.0 Help: Plant draw flowers female group


Female flower bud 3D object: The 3D object used to draw the petals of female flower buds.

Female flower bud petal front face color: The front face (facing in) color for the petals of female flower buds.

Female flower bud petal back face color: The back face (facing out) color for the petals of female flower buds.

Female flower bud petals are radially arranged: If 'yes' the 3D objects used to draw the petals of female flower buds are drawn rotated at different angles to make them form a circle around the stem. If 'no' they are all drawn at the same angle (and usually there is only one oddly-shaped 3D object).

Female flower bud 3D object scale at full size: The scale for the 3D object used to draw the petals of female flower buds when they are full-sized.

Female flower days until drop: The number of days between the appearance of female flowers and their abscission (falling off).

Female flower maximum days for inflorescence to create bud: The number of days an inflorescence will accumulate biomass towards creation of a female flower bud before it gives up and creates a smaller flower bud. This simulates the plant's concentration of resources on newer meristems.

Female flower maximum days to grow: The number of days a female flower will accumulate biomass towards maturity before it gives up and stops growing. This simulates the plant's concentration of resources on newer meristems.

Female flower minimum days for inflorescence to create bud: The shortest number of days in which an inflorescence can create a female flower bud, no matter how much biomass is available. This simulates physical limitations on the rate of growth.

Female flower minimum days to grow: The shortest number of days in which a female flower can grow to maturity, no matter how much biomass is available. This simulates physical limitations on the rate of growth.

Female flower minimum fraction of optimal biomass needed to create: This parameter is not used in this version of the simulation.

Female flower minimum fraction of optimal biomass needed to open: The smallest fraction of the optimal (best) amount of female flower biomass that must be accumulated before a female flower can open.

Fruit minimum fraction of optimal biomass to create fruit: The smallest fraction of the optimal (best) amount of female flower biomass that must be accumulated before a female flower can set its fruit.

Female flower number of petals: The number of petals on a female flower.

Female flower number of petals on bud: The number of petals on a female flower bud. (This is the same number of petals as on the female flower in reality, but for the purpose of drawing this number may be different.)

Female flower optimal biomass: The biomass (dry weight) of a complete or best female flower.

Female flower petal 3D object: The 3D object used to draw the petals of female flowers.

Female flower petal 3D object scale at full size: The scale for the 3D object used to draw the petals of female flowers when they are full-sized.

Female flower petal back face color: The back face (facing out) color for the petals of female flowers.

Female flower petal front face color: The front face (facing in) color for the petals of female flowers.

Female flower petals are radially arranged: If 'yes' the 3D objects used to draw the petals of female flowers are drawn rotated at different angles to make them form a circle around the stem. If 'no' they are all drawn at the same angle (and usually there is only one oddly-shaped 3D object).
