Val event

[jocosa]

What do you all think of it so far? What are your fave flowers?

I am enjoying it for the most part, though in the beginning seeing all those empty rows still to be filled was a bit discouraging. I'm torn between wanting to send as many as possible, to being sad to seeing all those empty spots that causes. :P I've stopped sending for the moment because I'm close to being done and I want to see it totally full, with everything grown. Then I'll start sending again and probably at the end start hoarding again to close it out on a full garden.

My faves are the gerberas (My fave rl flower), biters, mushrooms and fly traps. And I'm sad that I have no fly traps in my garden. If I had not been sent one (THANK YOU! :) ) I would not have known they existed. I keep hoping each new seed I get will be one but so far, nope. I want more mushrooms and biters too. :)

ETA- Hahaha the ???'s are invading! Thanks to you both!

I'm having lots of fun! I'm not worried about what my garden looks like. I just send out flowers whenever I can think of someone to send them to, and I send a few random ones now and then.

I don't know if I can pick a favorite! They're all so pretty. I've been sent a really nice assortment, I think I have most of the different types, although not all the different colors. I'm surprised I got sent as many as I did!

[jocosa]

Me as well, as far as how many I've gotten. It's not a ton, but far more then I expected. I know a lot come via the random option, so I'm super grateful for that! :)

I just got a dragon head seed. First one, and now I'm curious as to what it will grow into.

[codyne]

There's a picture on the forum with all the flowers and their names, if you're curious. I won't post it in case you'd rather be surprised, but it's here if you want to look!

Oh, I just noticed there are water lilies! I hope someone sends me one before it's over.

[jocosa]

Thanks for the link! I'll peek after it's all over, you were right, I like to be surprised. I'm avoiding all sites and the forum till my 2014s have grown up as well. :)

Also, ask and ye shall receive. :P Make sure to feed its little buddy too. :P

[codyne]

Yay! Thank you! I love the goldfish bowl, too. Is there anything in particular you're looking for that I can send you back?

[jocosa]

I caved and looked at the types. :P So the ??? seed grows up into a ??? plant. That's ... different.

[codyne]

I have two of them in my garden, but none sent to me yet.

[alicit]

I think my favourites are the blue pansies, although the black roses were a nice surprise too. I stopped sending flowers for a while, and my garden is all planted - although not everything has grown yet. At the moment, I am collecting seeds and when I get an interesting one I check my garden - if there are areas with too many flowers of the same type or of the same colour, I gift a couple of them and plant new ones there. Of course, I cannot really choose the colours of the new plants, but that makes the event more interesting.

I just wish we could gift seeds as well as the plants.

[jocosa]

Oh, I like that idea! I'm going to start doing that as well. That way I can still send, but my garden will still grow and I may get more variety. I keep getting a lot of some types, and I'd like to get more new things in their place.

[nakuru]

My favorites are the colorful mushrooms; luckily I already got them all ♥

I started planting and waiting until I had enough flowers to send, and now I'm back and planting and waiting since I sent pretty much everything~
I guess tomorrow I'll try to complete my collection and then I'll see what can I do to make my garden look pretty while still sending some flowers every now and then.

[mondat]

I am having a blast!
I don't care how my garden will look like after the event and I do not care about collecting all plants. I send plants away as many as possible.

I write short & bad jokes and fandom related messages to people on the forum & to random users. I got 110 flowers and many hilarous messages up to now :D

I've been out both days this weekend, so it's been hard to hit my page often enough to both plant and harvest.

If anyone can send me either a water lily in the goldfish bowl or a blue iris in the Bluna pot, I'd be incredibly happy. I think I've sent the latter combination out twice now, and it just tickles me.

[novembermond]

do you still need a water lily in a goldfish bowl? I have lilies, a pinkish and a bluish one.

[kshandra]

I don't have either the pink or the blue water lily yet (my checklist is here if you're curious), thank you!

[novembermond]

aw thank you for the red rafflesia. the checklist says you have the pinkish and I don't have the third, so I am sending the blue one and then check what else I might have for you.

[kshandra]

...they all look totally different on my monitor at work, now. I do have that third one, so we're good there. :D Thank you! (I'll update my checklist on break today.)

[dancing_serpent]

Had a couple of flowers on your chart and sent them to you. Will wait for an updated picture now. *g*

[kshandra]

Here. Anything you need at the moment?

[dancing_serpent]

Oh, in that case I'm going to send you all the mushrooms and biters I get. I hate them quite a bit, but I get seedling after seedling of the things. *G*

I joined the "Send a flower to someone" thread on the forum and by I pretty much got all the possible ones. Only missing five from the list, won't be too heartbroken if I don't get them.

[jocosa]

Oh my gosh, yes please!! I am getting none of those, it is sending me lilies and hyacinths and irises non stop. My last 3 seeds, iris. And still, not one fly trap. I just sent a lot of my plants away, freeing up spots, hoping for some variety. I have 7 seeds that could be planted but it's all hyacinths and irises.

[dancing_serpent]

All right! I have a purple and a pink biter in the last stage before growing up, and a green and a red mushroom, likewise. A purple mushroom waiting to be planted, as well.

How about a Blue Bonnet for a start, though?

[jocosa]

I now am at 4 iris seeds, I think I am jinxed. :p I feel bad for not planting them all, but argh, I do not want them. I don't have a bonnet, so that would be great!! What things are you liking? My garden is a bit sparse, because I just went on a mass sending spree, up spots, hoping for desired seeds.

[dancing_serpent]

Okay, for the sake of variety I'm going to send you a couple of other things, too. *g*

I'm pretty good, got tons of flowers, most of them twice or even thrice. Still missing two colours of Iris (don't know which ones, haven't got my chart here at work), though.

[novembermond]

I think we won't be able to keep our own garden, only the gifted flowers, so I'm sending out everything.
As I woke up to a nicely grown garden, does anyone need something special?

I still don't have most biters. I have no Rafflesias, Lavender, or Titan Arum. I also lack red roses, Lily of the Valley, Tigerlilly and Dragon's Breath. :)

[kshandra]

Red rafflesia coming your way!
