Can someone remind me how flower harvesting works? Do they just harvest after a set amount of time? Or only if you water them enough? I am getting them harvested, just no idea how/why it happens...

I'm a bit dodgy on the actualities so I'll let someone else answer that quimby!
But talking of flower harvesting - 6 weeks ago I synched fetch to Garmin and bizarrely all my flowers reset themselves to having been planted on 31st October and went back to 1000 points. A bit disturbing at the time, but the good news is that this morning they've all been harvested. As I'd continued running the same route, most of them were back up to 5000 value - my account has just been boosted by around 400000 points  I'm number 15 on the Leaderboard Get me!
All's well that ends well....

We had hills session at club last night and during the winter months there are only two places we use for hills. Looked at my fetchpoint map before heading to club to see a Goreilla sitting at the bottom of one of the hills. Just my luck that the session was at the other one!!

quimby - flowers are harvested six weeks after planting so long as they've been watered sufficiently to keep them alive for that long. If not kept watered, they die four weeks after planting or their last watering.
In practice that means
If you plant a flower on 'Day 1' and don't visit it again it will die on 'Day 28'
If you water that same flower before 'Day 14' and don't visit it again, it will die before harvesting. For example if you water it on 'Day 6', it will die on 'Day 34'
If you water it on or after 'Day 15', it will survive until harvesting on 'Day 42'
All of this assumes, of course, that nobody else comes along and picks it in the meantime. Hope that helps

perfect explanation CA
btw, if you're thinking of coming down to R4Rshire for a bit of flower picking, there are none on the beach or in the woods. All our dog-walking flowers got harvested or died this week - the dog died 4 weeks ago
Plenty more on the streets though

I had a flower harvested this morning - I can't believe it's 6 weeks since I came back from holiday!

My OCD to clear my area suggest I need to cycle down the dual carriageway this weekend. My sense of self-preservation suggests not. Saturday's hangover post office party may decide!

Thank you CumbriAndy, great explanation. I'll keep watering, I generally tread the same territory around work.
Nice harvest, Alice!

Cheers R4R - sorry about the dog
I will be down your way at some point over the holidays and will run on the beach - I'm sure I can manage to revist the streets of my childhood as well though in order to actually pick up some points
