Backbiting Dandelion [spoilers] / Verleumdungs-Löwenzahn [Räuber]

Hahahaha this is so hilarious Thank you for sharing this, lamoxlamae, it will give so much new thrill to dandelion breeding

Thanks for sharing. Sadly a try by myself has to wait until Halloween is over.

Yay! Got my post-pixie-dandelion!

Yay congrats Elixir I'm going to start breeding my dandelions next week, I hope to get a parcel soon

lorimmel, have you already (in the past) bred them?

Here I have been picking up the seeds - I think I'm going to start breeding them instead so I can get the message too! Thanks for telling us!

Not Lorimmel, obviously, but I got a backbiting through breeding before the parcel, but it was only on the 10th or so that I bred that I got the backbiter.

My first one was a normal-looking dandelion seed i picked up in the wild garden. (thanks to "nobody" for abandoning it )When it sprouted i got a package from the post-dixie with a second seed which grow up also as a backbiting dandelion. Now i have two of them

Tru, in the past I was trying to get a backbiting dandelion through breeding, and I succeeded after a few attempts.
Now I'm going to try for a parentless one, delivered by the Post Pixie And yes, I'm almost sure the seeds have to be bred.
But first I'm going to get both new sprites (parentless). After that I'm launching my breeding program

I don't think so.
I received my post pixie yesterday. And I had 13 dandelions when I got it.
Possibly it takes into account the overall number of dandelions you've ever had?
We can try it. Howe many dandelions do you need? I can PM you some....

Honey I have 12, and I used to have many more. It looks like the gifted ones don't work.
The ones I had in the past were bred (not by me), regular variant 1 dandelions. There were at least 12 in total (+8 parentless ones). So I had 20 or more at one time. And nothing happened. So I gifted the bred ones away and decided to start again.
I'm not 100% sure if they have to bred or not (I think they have to), but I'm pretty sure they have to be raised in your own garden.

Edit: Right now I'm goint to get parentless new sprites. They will be growing up in the next week. Then we can see how it works. I'll do it for the science, lol

I'm not really sure. I've sent you 3 dandelions. They are all bred. Let's check if it works

Thank you I accepted but it doesn't work. Sending them back to you
So, my results of the dandelion experiment so far:
- gifted dandelions don't work, one has to raise them in one's own garden
- dandelions bred and (auto-)abandoned don't work: I bred and abandoned 15 a while ago, no post pixie
- dandelions picked up from the Wild Garden - : We will find out soon (experiment in progress)
- dandelions BRED and RAISED in one's own garden - We will find out, but not so soon Unless someone else is running the experiment as well

Dandelions I raised to adult by myself: 8 or 9 (including one Backbiting Variant)
More growing up next week.

I had about 10 dandelions in my garden when the post-pixie showed. I don't think I bred more than 8 or so.

Hmmm... Right now I'm leaning to the hypothesis you just have to raise a certian number (8-10 or maybe more, but no more than 15 ) of dandelions in your own garden, no matter if they are self-bred or picked up from the Wild Garden (parentless or bred by other people). I'm very, very curious how it turns out .

I just had my second post pixie (but hit me with a stick, I can't for my life remember how many dandelions have I bred so far) and also one of the sprouts grew into a biting dandelion. All this when I'm mostly looking for the one new variety of dandelion that I do not have.

So, it means you can get at least 2 post pixie parcels?

That's what I've been doing too. But then I found this thread and now have decided to try breeding for the backbiting one.

Lori, I will be doing that same experiment just as soon as the dandelion seeds I have sprout.

My 8th (or 9th) self-raised dandelion just grew up, and no post-pixie. So I can say for sure 8 is not enough. Unless of course only self-bred AND self-raised ones count
Two more will be growing up this weekend, so I can also check the "10-hypothesis"
This is getting really exciting

I´m planning too breding my dandelions. I want to have this special one.
