Raising Experiments - Confirming information/ Flaming Katy

  • Greetings, everyone !

    Since Shelybear is valiantly fighting the many-headed exams-monster while still trying to ride as many witch brooms as possible, I decided to help out a little. That's why I hereby open the next experiment, and proudly present
    The Gathering of the Flaming Katys !
    (Usually I'd welcome Burning Katherines, Sparking Kates and Smoldering Katrinas as well, but since experiments have to operate very professionally, it has to be Flaming Katys only.)

    The purpose of this marvellous adventure is to confirm (or negate) the information in the wiki article about which variant(s) of this flower is/are bred only, and which one(s) is/are not.

    Here are the rules, as they were laid down by Shelybear:

    • Go to the wild garden and grab some parentless seeds for the Flaming Katy and grow them.
    • Post the plants (please provide BBCode) here and I'll add them onto the list. 50 specimens will be tested (more if we get to that number in a short enough amount of time). Existing and already grown ones will count as well, as long as they are parentless (and came from nowhere else but the wild garden).
    • If none of the parentless specimens are grown into 'bred-only' variant, then I'll consider the information confirmed.
    • If one of the parentless specimens is grown into 'bred-only' variant, the information is incorrect. Please provide the link of that plant.

    Some of you might have been around here for a long time (and maybe have already seen enough specimens to confirm that) but...just take this as a game ! I'm not asking you to fill all your pots with the same plants, but if you can try as much as possible, that would be awesome ! Thank you in advance !

  • I picked up some seeds last night, but once they're grown I'll start helping. You want parentless, right? Maybe LN should do the bred-only experiment for the Flaming Katies in conjunction with yours. I'm not saying she has to, but it would be a good complement to it. :)

  • MiaSkywalker:
    Yes, this one is for parentless plants only. But grown ups are accepted as well - as long as you are sure that they came from the wild garden once. So you could probably post some of those that you already have. :)
    I'd be fine with a bred-only experiment in conjunction, but since this isn't a holiday plant it might be better to do them separately. (Since you can use your pot(s) only for one experiment or the other it could stretch the duration of both if you do them together. I wouldn't mind, personally, but I wanted to point it out.)

  • My five (all were parentless from the wild garden):

  • Thanks for opening this one, Chevalier de Lis (is it French?)
    You're much better in wording than me. xD

    I went through mine and only found one so far:

  • Added all to here.

    Shelybear:
    It is French and means "Knight of the Lily". The lily being the symbol of the French kings, a heraldic symbol in general (Fleur-de-Lis) and a flower (since, well, this is a game about flowers) seemed fitting to me. As for the knight, well, I imagined my garden as an enchanted one, in the middle of some mysterious forest, with some beautiful lady tending to it and a knight to guard it (and her, of course). ;)
    And the wording... - the really important things I copy-pasted from your post. :)

  • Got two new seeds:

    Yeah I meant those words before my 'rules'. I like nicks 'Burning Katherines, Sparking Kates and Smoldering Katrinas' xD
    Btw, I like what you describe as a 'mysterious forest' and garden, and drew a picture of 'mysterious of fluorescent forest at night with a glittering garden in the middle' in my mind.

    Would have four, but I just bred a nice lineaged one to try for one of the bred-only variants. :)
