How the scoring works
Each candidate flower gets scored against your source flower across five dimensions:
- Curated substitute — encyclopedia editors marked it as a manual alternative
- Same role in composition — focal, filler, line, or greenery match
- Price tier — budget / mid / premium alignment
- Colour overlap — how many colours the two flowers share
- Seasonal overlap — how many peak months coincide
The result: 3-8 alternatives, sorted, each showing which dimensions matched. Not magic — just the same reasoning a working florist does mentally in 30 seconds, made explicit.
