I really like the idea of generating Lotus Flowers each turn. It could be overwhelming in  :life due to Feral Bond, though. So, I think it would be best to only keep it in  :water. But, to be honest, I would definitely just use these for Mutation and creature control fodder more than the healing.  :) Which is a good thing, but scary when you can cast Protect Artifact on it. Maybe make the permanent only available to water and the Lotus Flowers it generates are  :life. That way it would be susceptible to Flooding / Inundation. It may cause some conflict because the permanent is Water based, but I think that would balance it out from making  :water too powerful.

I really like it that you are making new cards that produce Quanta because it will make elements more complicated.

Won't blooms need a casting cost in the case of rewind?

The Casting Cost is 0 the same as Malignant Cell.

For clarity, can you add that to the card description (currently summon cost is left blank.)

Interesting. It is a cheap (almost free) creature source for a druid and a rainbow quantum source too. Also heals you.
Are you sure that both healing and getting quanta is wanted?
I think there was some note that healing (stalling) is too rampant already.
Having a rainbow quanta source for 3 life is good enough.

If there was no Healing then the cost would need to come down to make the card playable in the event that you were given all unfavourable flavours. If the card cost becomes cheaper then the maximum potential swings to creature generation.

The balance is the best as it can be as it is. Perfectly Even between cost to get into play and resulting generation in the game swing. I've spent several hours with my cards in playtest and feel confidant as it is. Unless you can proove something to me mathematically I don't think I'm going to change it.

In a rainbow deck, there is no unfavourable flavour.

I would definitely not decrease the costs for removing one of three benefits when the 3 together are OP.
This would support the pillarless rainbow strategy i noticed gone rampant recently.

Show me.

Give me a deck where this is so fast or so strong it breaks the game.
