Change flower arrangement to require 5 x any flower.
By default it will be a worse inspirational however when made with certain combinations it will be much better, and introduce some variety. ie an arrangement of the right combination with Red Trillium will give higher M&M, Sun Flowers will give more S&C, Trout Lilys H&H.
Now we have lots of flower types there would be a massive number of possibilities and it will take people a while to find the special combinations.
Don't include what they are made of in the tool tip to make it harder to discover the best combinations. Introduce a chance in which arrangement you create that decreases with A&C (thus creating the first artist profession, more to come).
Change the graphic (and maybe the number of uses) for special combinations. The more special combinations there are the harder it will be to learn them all and more rewarding for finding the combinations that produce the best results.

In my opinion some flowers are harder to obtain so should be used in the best arrangements and increase the chance of producing a good arrangement:
Beaming Proud Sunflower
Dehydrated Rose
Lilypad Bulb (can't be potted must be foraged)

But I realise you have already had all the good ideas so I am just reminding you that this would be a really good one for newbies so should be in the next patch

I like it.

Perhaps using 5 may apples would make a 2x more potent inspirational (but as good inspirational efficiency-wise) regarding SnC with perhaps 3 or 4 uses.

Guess that depends on your Arts and Crafts

Oh, I forgot to mention, if my suggestion of party feasting at tables was also implemented then the arrangements could be used as table decorations.That suggestion can be found here.

Love it. FABULOUS!

at the very least you could use this to make a way to store the flowers better.
say make 5 of the same flowers into a 4 use inspirational of exactly the same proficiency count.

Love this , along with this month's bees/butterfly

Great suggestion. Might i add that 1 fibre would make sense when crafting such an object? FLOWER POWER!
