I only have one bluebell not on cooldown, so all four seeds and the sprout in my signature are from the Wild Garden. We shall see what they grow into.

OK, my bred one was an "old" variety, so I now have 4 empty pots and with at least TWO new variants, off I go to the Wild Garden to fill them. *Excited*

My bred one should be maturing sometime this evening. Finally figured out how to edit my siggie, too. XD

I have a bred one and a WG one, but neither have grown yet. Has anyone gotten a new one?

Yes, and yours wasn't a one-off, I saw several whilst looking for bellflowers yesterday.

They are only available and breedable during Christmas. Perhaps the wiki people overlooked that because they are actual real plants and not the fantasy ones we also get at Christmas/New Year (trees, wreaths, fireworks...).

Still need 5 Audreys and 3 Stumps and the two more realistic-looking Jack-O-Lanterns (I had all of them at one time, the two I'm missing are the newest ones). I guess if I get 2 new varieties each year like I did this year it will take 1-2 years to get the Stumps and Jacks and 3 or 4 more to get the Audreys. If they don't add any more. Not a complaint, just an observation.

I got 4 Stumps and 4 Audreys. Two of each have grown up and I got one new one of each. The other four (two of each) sprouted yesterday morning, so we shall see. I was very far behind in Hallowe'en plants for some reason (were several added in just a year or two?), but I have almost all the Christmas/New Year ones, so that event will be far less frenetic for me (as well as usually being longer, if memory serves).

The sun shows clouds if you need to pick "make those clouds go away" from the pixie games. Or you can get sun from clicks. I just make sure I top up my sun at least once past "sunny" every day with the games to be sure.

I got 8 seeds, but I think it was just because I jumped on them right as soon as they started dropping. Someone starting even 8 hours later wouldn't get the second batch. My first four just matured and I got one of my missing Audreys and one of my missing Stumps. The other two I already had. My second round just sprouted, so we will see.

I need more tree stumps than anything else. Audreys next. I'm content with having a jack or two still missing at the end.

Yep, just came on about half an hour ago and saw them! Yippee!!

I've been popping in every couple of hours for the past 2 days, but still no Hallowe'en plants.

I imagine that the initial lineart is more costly than re-colored versions are, so perhaps we got two linearts now and will have more colors for each later (buying variants on the installment plan, essentially). There might also be frugailty in the face of Halloween for a new variant of one of those plants. I think the breeding might just not have gotten turned on. I believe there were other plants with the same problem in the past. Maybe it just slipped the mind with Halloween coming up. I'm going to have empty pots as soon as all my seedings grow. Have 4 empty seed slots right now. To get prepped for the Hallowe'en plants to start dropping. Going out of town for a week, anyway.

When I was here before I remember Halloween being near the actual date and lasting only a week or so. You can breed jack o lanterns, but you'll want to save room to get Audreys and Tree Stumps, too. I recommend getting what you can from the Wild Garden first thing, then breeding whatever you want as soon as the pots are empty and can accept seeds, as I believe (if I remember correctly) that bred seeds will continue to grow even after the Wild Garden drops are finished.

Edited to add: From last year's thread it seems they dropped from Oct 24-Nov 1. So it is short.

I was disappointed because they come in all colors in the real world, and to have only 2 so similar...perhaps there are more colors to come.

My compendium is complete with these two. Wish I could get the forum to accept the links to show the images. It's been 8 years since I made my signature and it seems things have changed (or I've forgotten).

For those who don't speak American English as a first language, a "hot potato" is something you have to get rid of as soon as possible (like a literal hot potato that's burning your bare hands). It could also be something that could get you into trouble. As a kid, we played a game called "hot potato", where kids stood in a circle and threw a beanbag as quickly as possible to anyone in the circle randomly. So you had the beanbag in your cupped hands and shoveled it to someone else, who had to shovel it off to someone else as soon as they caught it, etc. If you didn't catch it, you were out. Last one left wins.
So perhaps this slang is also common in other countries. And just perhaps you have to treat this as a "hot potato" and gift it, then having the next owner gift it, until it is passed around to a few others before coming back to someone who has owned it before, whereupon it becomes "baked". Worth a try, I guess.

Here's my best shot in my limited German:

Yes, I've found that the hare is the brown one (I remember it by thinking of brown hair). The rabbit is grey (like our wild cottontail rabbits). Bunny is any, including the snow bunny. They are both greyish-brown (the hare) or brownish-grey (the rabbit) instead of pure brown and pure grey, but the color is obviously different.
