• Wow, this fountain is just perfect for waterlilies :D This is exactly what I missed whenever I looked at it, but I realized it only when I saw your post :) Brilliant idea :love:
    By the way, a little garden pond would be just lovely as a new special area :love: Then we could grow waterplants as well :) White and yellow waterlilies, calamus, reed, and forget-me-nots around the pond :)

    Please help them grow faster! Thank you! / Bitte hilf meinen Blumen, schneller zu wachsen! Vielen Dank!

  • Thank you lorimmel! I like your idea of a pond as a new area very much. :love: Growing waterplants would be fun! (I'm still working on getting my first area, the atrium ;) )


    Yay, you will get both the Atrium and the Winter Garden at the same time, in 2 days from now, because one of your very first "plants" is St. Patty :D
    Sorry for off-topic, everybody ;)

    Please help them grow faster! Thank you! / Bitte hilf meinen Blumen, schneller zu wachsen! Vielen Dank!

  • I think a lot of the ideas above would go well in a separate area, like a potting shed area, for tools, rain barrel, and such, need one for the green house actually...no place for gardening tools, edging stones, etc. :P
    Love all the ideas for water plants, and the wooden arch for vines and i,too, would love a little box turtle

  • Das sehe ich auch in etwa so, Caitlingal. Die Basis ist ansich mit Freiland und Indoor schon mal sehr gut. Aber es fehlt Platz. Breitere Fensternutzung bis hin zum Widescreen wäre die Lösung. Aber das könnte Nephele so ganz königinnen-allein nicht schaffen. Kräfte für Vor- und Zuarbeit wären nötig. Man sollte grafisch was drauf haben und helfen können. Die Serverleistung ist beachtlich. Bei Nutzung eines Grafikpacks könnte das schon mal ohne Aufstockung vorab durchaus OK gehen. Deutlich mehr User würden angesprochen. Die könnten dann die Klickleistung erbringen... Aber insgesamt wäre der Schritt enorm und sicherlich ein nicht unerhebliches Wagnis.

    -----------------------------------------------

    So I see it also in possibly in such a way, Caitlingal. The base is already very good with open land and Indoor. But place lacks. Broader window using till to the Widescreen would be the solution. But so Nephele it could not master so queen-alone. Forces for preliminary work and preparatory work would be necessary. One should have graphically what on it and can help. The server achievement is substantial. With using a graphic stack that could already go without heightening to begin with absolutely OK. Clearly more users would be demanded. Then they could produce the click achievement... But all together the step would be huge and absolutely a not unimportant venture.

  • caitlingal, or anyone else, if you would like to put things in some sort of order, please be my guess. I think I'm a little overwhelmed at the moment. :wacko:

    Maybe we could have heading such as areas and then underneath each suggestions for each. However, I think people will want some things in more than one area, so that would mean double (possibly triple or more) listing of these things.

  • *dusts thread* cough, cough... :S

    I just had a look at my atrium and thought when we can breed our bunnies again this year it will soon get a bit crowded in my atrium and the bunnies don´t really fit in the greenhouse or winter garden.

    So I thought I would love an own area for my bunnies. Maybe a little meadow with a little bunny house and also some spots for all those wild flowers we already have, like dandelion, clovers, bears garlic, daisies, and everything else that would fit in a meadow. Additionaly maybe a little pond or stream. :love:

  • Die Breite der Gärten hatte bisher immer technische Gründe (deren genaue Begründung bei mir den gleichen Weg nahm, wie jeglicher Versuch mir doch noch Binomischen Formeln zu erklären: Direkt in den Orkus hinein. Ich kann mir auch keine Telefonnummern merken), wenn ich mir aber so ansehe was die Progger für Ergänzungswünsche haben, dann würd ich mal sagen: Würde mich nicht wundern wenn künftig Gärten breiter werden.
    Es werden aufjedenfall Gärten dazu kommen.
