I've been trying to water friends' flowers while working their facilities, but I don't want to carry on doing it if I'm just sabotaging them.
If someone waters your flowers you can still water your flowers and crops with the red sprinkler and speed up the growth that same day. That information is in the first post of this thread.

After forking out 50 farm cash to purchase the red sprinkler, it has no use whatsoever if a "helpful" neighbour comes along and waters the flowers. It seems to me that the developers need to look at this as it appears to be common thread in this forum. There has to be a way where we irrigate them even when neighbours, who do not have a red sprinkler waters our flowers. It defeats the purpose of having it otherwise.

Two days ago my flower farm (only flowers on this farm) was ready to harvest but the flowers where "dead" and I couldn't harvest them without watering them. I did not want to water them myself because I wanted to half the growing time. I asked a neighbor to come water them for me, she used the bucket because she doesn't own the sprinkler and watered all my flowers. I then harvested them and used the red sprinkler to water them right after that, this all happened in probably a 30 minutes time frame. I do not recall if I got the you can only water flowers once a day message but my flowers showed the w in their name and where reduced to a 2 day growing time. I don't know if someone using the brown sprinkler on flowers will be different then using the bucket or if all the changes they have made the last two days has messed something up but as of 2 days ago it was working just fine for me.
