A few things in Rune Factory 5 that may catch you off guard, especially if you have played other farming sims. One of these is the lack of a flower shop at the very start of the game. This isn't something that was overlooked, though; you just need to do some work to unlock it.
The flower shop will not unlock until the character Ludmila comes to live at Rigbarth. Before that, you will have to buy limited flower resources. The only way to unlock Ludmila and the flower shop, Flowerstruck, is to progress through the story.

Once the shop is open, you can visit on weekdays from 9am to 6pm. This gives you plenty of time to pick up any seeds you need and interact with Ludmila to raise her friendship level. If you are trying to play the life-sim side of Rune Factory, then you may want to concentrate on the story first to unlock all the characters and shops.

I start my day by exploring Teyvat in Genshin Impact and end it after reorganizing my apartment in Final Fantasy XIV. I am a diehard fan of N64 era games and will forever feel betrayed that Megaman Legends didn't finish. Outside of gaming, I have spend my time collecting manga, collecting anime figures, and watching anime with my naked cat.
