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!

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.

[jocosa]

Thank you! :)

Let me know on your iris needs. I have a few colors, from what I can see from mobile. Plus those darn pesky seeds.

[dancing_serpent]

Looked for my chart online - I'm still missing the dark blue and dark pink Iris. And the pink miniature roses, white Gerbera and light pink ???, but I don't have much hopes for those. Seem to be rare, the way other people are constantly searching for them on the forum.

[alicit]

You sent me pink roses yesterday! I don't have any in my garden now, but I'll keep looking.

[dancing_serpent]

*g* I know. But I mean flowers sent to me, because I'm not sure if we can actually keep our gardens later, or if only the vases + cards will stay.

[alicit]

I hope we can keep the gardens. Have you received a dragon head? I have a grown one in my garden.

[dancing_serpent]

I hope so, too!

Yes, I really have all flowers except those five I mentioned. Had a very productive day at the forum yesterday. *g*

Are there any you really need/want at the moment? I have lot of grown up flowers to give away.

[alicit]

I am not really concentrating on getting all varieties/colours, just on planting the flowers I like and gifting them to random users mostly.

[alicit]

My son just sent you an Iris. Is that the dark pink you were looking for?

[dancing_serpent]

Oh, that was your son? Nice! I just sent a thank you back. *g* And nope, that was the dark red one.

[alicit]

His scroll name is Slitheen (in case you are receiving flowers from several random people). I am getting confused with all the colours. Which ones are you missing from the link codyne posted in her comment? Third comment from the top, I think.

[dancing_serpent]

Second row from the bottom, no. 4 and 6 from the right.

Also, yay for Doctor Who. *g*

[jocosa]

Holy moly!!! I feel asleep watching TV and woke up to a flower explosion!! Thank you soooooooooo much!!!

Once you figure out what you're missing, let me know and I'll sort through my garden. I wish we could send seeds as well.

[dancing_serpent]

Only four flowers left missing, so I'm good. *g* Anything you still need or want? My flower garden is full at the moment.

[jocosa]

As far as need, I need a lot. Because I was thinking we would keep our gardens I was trying to keep as much there of my faves as I could, and use the other half for sending. So I did not collect specific things beyond my faves for the ones being sent to me. Oops! :P

Someone in a forum thread said TJ said the white gerbera and pink ??? are not obtainable. So those are off the list. I need most the roses, a dragon's head, and a dragon's breath and a sunflower. Thanks to you flooding me with flowers I have most the others, at least as what I am missing and like. I'm missing a lot of others but I don't like them all that much anyway. :P

What 4? I stopped sending in case I had something you still need.

ETA - I do have a sunflower, from you!! :) How did I not see that one come through, I adore sunflowers!

[dancing_serpent]

Is there official word now on if we can keep our gardens or not? Because I assumed not, for whatever reason.

Well, if the white gerbera and pink ??? are off the list, I only need the pink roses, then I have all.

I don't have the dragon's head/breath at the moment, but I can totally flood you with roses, too. Have a couple grown up right now, and some more already planted.

[jocosa]

I'm not sure if there has been word or not. I did the opposite of you and assumed we could. :P I wish we knew for sure, because I am hoarding all my shrooms, bats, gerberas and biters right now and could be gifting them instead.

That is the one thing I don't have right now, but if I get a seed I will grow it and send it your way.

Argh, so many gorgeous pretties, and your cards are cracking me up! Thank you so very, VERY nuch!!!
