I think we are still doing a chain gifting rather than exchange between two people. So the rules apply to this year's plan as well. Unless you want to make it harder/funnier (e.x. having the rules saying which type(s) of flower should be gifted, rather than randomly pick some from your garden) As we can always see who's the gifter from plants' history, it is impossible to be completely secrete. So we don't need the poll again.
For the rules of designating certain breed of flowers, some possibilities could be:
- You can only gift what your giftee doesn't have at all/have less than a certain number.
- You must gift flowers from a certain catalog (must be a rose/must be a purple plant,etc).
- It must be raised within two weeks.
- etc.
And if enough people get involved, we can see if we're having the same rule for everyone, or have different for each.
But firstly, let's hope more people will sign up.
