I found the flower field handy for setting up liasons between a specific couple that I wanted to get together for genetic reasons. I'd drag the girl to the field, then the guy. They stay calm and relaxed while I click on "Breeding" in details. Then I let them out of the field to embrace. Once they've succeeded in creating a baby, I quickly drag the guy back into the field and click "Breeding" off or he starts running around embracing everyone.
