Overview
Flower Corridor is a scenic region on the western side of Starsand Island, northwest of Green Pasture Ranch and adjacent to the Exploration Club. The area features grassy patches, curved roads bordering the western coastline, and scenic views that draw tourists. It is one of 10 named mainland regions on the island. Flower Corridor is best known as a gathering spot for Hydrangeas during Summer and Autumn, and it is also one of the best locations to find beehives and catch bees for the beekeeping system.
Key Features
Feature | Details |
|---|---|
Zephyria's Exploration Club sits at the southern edge of the Flower Corridor, providing access to Explorer profession quests and blueprint purchases. | |
Hydrangea Fields | Blue Hydrangeas and Light Blue Hydrangeas grow in the wild here during Summer and Autumn. Harvested with an Axe; sometimes drop seeds. |
Gazebo | A small gazebo structure in the central part of the corridor. A treasure chest inside contains Hardwood x10, Copper Ore x10, and the Swing Blueprint. |
Projection Screen | A white screen with star ornaments near the gazebo. A second treasure chest location sits near or behind it. |
Beehives | Banyan Trees and White Fig Trees in the area have beehives on their branches. Harvest honeycomb and catch bees with a bug net. |
Pet Spawns | Stray animals including Octa the fox roam the grassy areas near the Exploration Club. |
Hydrangea Gathering
Flower Corridor is one of the best sources of wild Hydrangeas on the island. During Summer and Autumn, Blue Hydrangeas and Light Blue Hydrangeas spawn in flower beds throughout the region. To harvest them, swing an Axe at the colorful shrub-like clusters. Cutting them down yields the flower and sometimes drops seeds for that species.
Hydrangeas are highly sought after for several reasons:
Item | Description |
|---|---|
Gifts | Light Blue Hydrangea is loved by Sylvain and liked by several other characters including Youfang and Zephyria. See the All NPC Gift Chart for full preference data. |
Cross-breeding | Seeds collected from wild Hydrangeas can be planted on your farm for cross-breeding experiments. Plant two Hydrangeas of different colors with an empty tilled plot between them to create hybrid colors. Cross-breeding itself takes place on your farm plots, not in the Flower Corridor. |
Selling | While not the most profitable item individually, gathering Hydrangeas in bulk provides decent early-game income. |
Hydrangeas are used in certain decorative and structural crafting recipes for flower-based furniture and decorations. |
Visit during Summer and Autumn to stock up. Hydrangeas respawn every few days, so make regular trips. Bring extra bag space or access your Realm Box for efficient gathering runs. They do not grow here during Spring or Winter.
Beehives and Bees
Flower Corridor is one of the best areas on the island to find trees with beehives. Look for hives hanging from the branches of Banyan Trees and White Fig Trees in the area. Harvest honeycomb from the hives and use a bug net to catch bees buzzing around the flowers nearby.
Caught bees are used for the beekeeping system. Build Bee Houses on your farm, stock them with caught bees, and they produce Honey over time. Honey sells well and is used in several cooking recipes, making this a reliable mid-game money-making strategy. Combine Flower Corridor visits with bee catching for maximum efficiency.
The Exploration Club
Zephyria runs the Exploration Club at the edge of Flower Corridor. This is where you begin and advance the Explorer profession. The Club sells slingshot and bow blueprints, ammo recipes, and ranks up your Explorer certification through trial quests. You also unlock new Exploration Club cooking recipes at each rank. Bees can often be caught around flowers near Zephyria's house just northwest of the Club entrance.
Treasure Chests
Two known fixed treasure chest locations in Flower Corridor:
Location | Contents |
|---|---|
Inside the gazebo in the central corridor | Hardwood x10, Copper Ore x10, Swing Blueprint |
Near the projection screen (white screen with star ornaments) | Check around the base and behind the structure |
Additional treasure chests may appear through treasure maps pointing to this region. The Swing Blueprint is a useful early-game furniture item, so visit the gazebo early.
Pets
Octa the fox is commonly found roaming the grassy areas between the Exploration Club and the flower beds. Interact with Octa daily and feed her favorite food (Sheep Cheese Block) to build affection toward adoption. Some players have reported Octa occasionally appearing on the map but being difficult to find on the ground level, possibly due to terrain clipping. See the pets article for the full adoption process and all pet locations.
Getting There
Flower Corridor is on the western side of the island, northwest of Green Pasture Ranch and southwest of Green Meadow. From Starsand Town, head northwest past the ranch. The area is within walking distance of the central town, but a vehicle or bus station speeds up regular visits for Hydrangea gathering runs. The nearest bus stop provides quick access from other parts of the island.
Tips
Visit during Summer and Autumn for Hydrangea spawns. They do not grow here in Spring or Winter.
Light Blue Hydrangeas are a top-tier gift for multiple characters. Stock up and store extras in your Realm Box for off-season gifting.
Check inside the gazebo for the treasure chest with the Swing Blueprint. It is easy to walk past without entering.
Bring a bug net on every visit to catch bees for your Bee Houses. This is one of the most reliable spots for bee spawns.
Harvest beehives from tree branches for honeycomb. Look up at Banyan and White Fig Trees for hives you might miss at ground level.
The fox pet Octa spawns in this area. Bring Sheep Cheese Block on visits to build affection toward adoption.
Combine your Flower Corridor trips with Exploration Club visits to check for new blueprints or turn in quests.
