Oh true, mounts cannot be traded. How about this: You grow like some item that is hard/rare to grow, it becomes a tradeable item "baby rafflesia hatchling" in which can be traded between players (but not market board), then you take that hatchling item to a NPC in a green house, and then several days later you come back and you get a achievement that grants the mount (or the npc has a quest for it with the reward)? I'm sure it could be made to work.

I think it should be more of a quest/task than some item to be sold. It's no fun to just buy it, the people with them should feel attached to it since they took part in growing it (like your chocobo or magitech story mount).

A Free Company could hold a raffle or just use it as a incentive for players to help their FC. Everyone can water it, fertilize it, but then they can decide who gets it. Maybe it should take up a whole gardening patch or something.
