My son just got his first LYD. He was low level (he just leveled to 12 right before his successful combine due to the exp he got from a couple egg hatches and related goals plus feeding whatever food he had... but was as low as level 9 just yesterday) so the only real combo he had access to was flower and storm - and he just got the storm earlier this morning. They were both only level 7, because he didn't have enough food to get them any higher. He got the LYD on his 4th try, with the others being another storm (5hr) which we burned through most of his remaining gems to clear, poison (30min), and flower (1hr). We just waited out the two short ones. With the deadline approaching, I'd highly recommend this combo (flower/storm) due to the low breed/hatch times on "failures". I think the highest common (excluding moon/sun/rainbow) "failure" you can get from this combo is 5 hours. My wife and I used the seaweed/firefly combo to get ours, but looking back we should have probably went with this flower/storm because we did get a few 9 hour ones... which sucked. Good luck to everyone still trying to get it - my son wasn't even high enough level to even try for this when if first started, so don't give up. Again, I highly recommend FLOWER and STORM (they don't even have to be level 10!) due to the short time remaining to try and breed the LYD.
