Bug or No Bug, that is the question..

There are 2 poppy plants in game right now.. one is of the peculiar variety, and the other is of the normal variety.. peculiar is more or less a "Mutant" so it cant be crossed with other plants.. where the normal variety can be.. problem is, there is no way to tell the difference until you plant them in the ground and wait !! 7 Days !! >.<

This is the Peculiar Variety, it cant be crossed, does not produce seeds, but does produce a resource..

This one is the normal variety, which can be crossbred, does produce a seed.. but does not produce a resource..

Before a seed box, this wasnt an issue.. but now that we can identify our seeds, its impossible to know which poppy is which.. when it comes to the seed. :/ I only have one type of poppy seed right now, and since i recently planted some, im guessing they are of the peculiar type.. so i have no way to show you the seed names side by side, but the other peculiar seeds, once identified.. do not say "A peculiar XXXX seed" they all just say the normal name, like below

Maybe you can change all the peculiar & fragrant seed types to to display the name: A Peculiar(or)Fragrant Poppy Seed, after identification. that way the normal seed will just say "A Poppy Seed" (Just an idea)

If i had to guess, it works this way on real UO too.. something that was probably over looked when the ability to identify seeds came to be. Would still be super helpful if there was a way to know the difference between the two, beacuse the difference between the two are significant.

So IF they have newer displays it would have to be coded in here. There is a cliloc for:
peculiar - 1080528
fragrant - 1080529

But I am not seeing any that support arguments too:

If someone wanted to code a prototype custom label I would take a look. Otherwise would need to confirm they display differently on production so I can inspect the items there and see exactly what they are doing.

Like i said, i doubt its a bug, its probably this way on realUO as well.. it would just be nice to find a way to differentiate between the two. I just figured a simple name change would suffice.. Like youve said in the past, why replicate the broken systems and bad designs of production UO.. but do with it as you will.. As i have no clue how hard it would be to change the seed name.

Oh, I agree. I posted where a name fix could potentially go. If someone sees an easy way to do it I would test it out and push.
