Ui, I catched the ghost again and then I got something from the post pixie.

Hihi, wieso hilft jammern bei mir immer. Ein gezüchteter Löwenzahn ist endlich ein Beissender geworden.

The post pixie brought me another packet with a Dandelion seed today.

But none of my bred dandelions turned out backbiting...

No, i just felt sorry for all those lonely plants.

I just looked for the oldest gardens.
and no, I won´t look up the oldest plan either.

Coming soon: Gardens 581-...

Hehe, yes I remembered.

That´s the St. Basil´s cathedral at the Red Square in Moscow.

Thank you.
I loved the landscape, especially the steppe. I almost cried when we had to leave again.

Veilchen/ Stiefmütterchen. Ich dachte auch zuerst das es ein Veilchen ist, aber dafür wars mir irgendwie zu gross. (KA ab wann es ein Veilchen und wann ein Stiefmütterchen ist)

Violets/Panyies: I also thougth of a vilet first, but it seemed to big for me for a violet. (I have no idea when they are called violets and when panies. )

Hello everyone,

As some of you know I´ve been to Siberia this August. It was a wonderful trip, exhausting sometimes though (especially the looooooong flights and busdrives). But anyway I´m glad to have seen this great country (Russia is big) even if I was practically in the middle of nowhere. I made a lot of photos, landscape and flowers mainly, and on request I´d like to show you some in this thread.

In spring I applied for an archaelogical expedition to Siberia hosted by the Russian geographical Society. I was selected and on July 31st my plane took of from Vienna to Moskau where all the people met. We stayed a few days there and did some sight-seeing. On August 3rd a 5 hours flight brought us to Abakan. from there we had a 5 hours busdrive to our camp in the most southern part of the Krasnojarsk krai which belongs to the region of Siberia. i was very close to the Mongolian and Chinese borders. Lake Baikal was not far either, but we didn´t go there.
Sadly the excavations were not what I expected. But the landscape was great. Our camp and excavations were in the Russian taiga region. The temperatures were very unusual for me. It was mostly very warm at day (20-30°C) but after the sun went down it got quite cold. Sometimes in the morning we had up to 2-5°C minus, but 25°C at day.

It´s very mountainous there, the only trees growing are birches (a lot) and needle trees, mostly Siberian pines.

Pine tree with interesting roots in a national park we visited. sadly I didn´t catch the name of the park.

The rivers are very broad, but shallow, the water is crystal clear but cold as ice.

Same for the lakes.

there were a lot of little creeks in the park. Around the creeks and lakes were often marshes.

Some flowers:

Geraniacea

Wild Pansy

Other flowers I don´t know the name of

Yep, that grew there too EVERYWHERE.... don´t worry I didn´t try it, I´m not into that stuff.

Sunset over the taiga
At that day (it was the last day before we went back to Moskau again) it was raining most of the time, but short befor sunset the sun came out again and not only one but two rainbows emerged behind our camp right over the mountainridge in two perfect bows. I think that were the two most beautiful rainbows I´ve ever seen. The ridge and rainbows were too close though and I always only got one half.

We also made a trip to Tuva, an autonomous republik of Russia near the Krasnojarsk krai. The landscape is totally different there. After a short transition zone the land turns from the green mountain region to a stoney and very wiiiiiide steppe. There are hardly trees growing there, if then at the river banks. Most of the land is covered with grass. It´s also very windy.

If you look closely you can see a lot of tiny flowers growing

Because the land is so wide the streets a quite straight and a few hours driving doesn´t mean anything. Mind that I come from a very small country, we don´t have such streets in Austria. For someone living in the American midwest it´s probably normal too.

In Kyzyl, the capital of Tuva, is also the geographical center of Asia..... and I was there.

That´s it for now. There are a few more pics in my photobucket account: http://s587.photobucket.com/albums/ss312/R…Siberia%202012/

If you have any questions, shoot and I´ll try to answer them as best as I can.

No problem.
btw, you have to enter your password and confirm the trade.

Not about a real flower, but maybe it counts:

Wolfgang Ambros - Blume aus dem Gemeindebau.

It´s in Viennese dialect.

btw, is it allowed to post more songs at once? I still have a few.

Yeah, I can try that... when I´m unlocked (tomorrow) and when my Purples are ready again (maybe tomorrow).

Hello and welcome to Flowergame. I hope you have fun.

About the pots.... what Elixir said.

You get gold by clicking other peoples creatures. Not only eggs and hatchlings but also adults. You get one piece of gold for every click, but you can click the same creature only once every 24 hours.
I like to go here for gold mining: http://mshatchery.comlu.com/, posting your creatures in the click threads helps them grow und you get also gold for every post you make.
And I stronly advice to use Snaplinks or Multilinks.

btw, I sent you a litte welcome gift on MS.

I´m also on DC with the same name. If you or someone else needs something bred just tell me and I´ll try. Most of my dragons are CB. I´m a CB fanatic.

Hello and welcome to the forum and the game.

I like the new feature. Thank you.

Yay, congrats to Nisha and the baby. I hope both are fine.

And don´t worry about the event. We can wait.

Bei der Adblockerdeaktivierungsaufforderung:
"Wir möchten das Flowergame kostenlos bleibt."

Da fehlt nicht nur ein Komma, sondern auch ein s bei dass. (Oder so'n komisches Zeichen, das nur die Deutschen kennen).

Die Österreicher kennen das auch :P, aber seit der Einführung der Neuen Deutschen Rechtschreibung wird das "dass" nur mehr mit doppel "s" anstatt mit "ß" geschrieben... zumindest in Österreich.

My first 3 bred roses just matured and I got one lilac-white and one black.

Gibts vielleicht einen klitzekleinen Hinweis wann ungefähr das Event starten könnte? *ganz lieb schau*

Can you give us a tiny little hint when the event might start? *puppy dog eyes*
