Premium contest/2022-03 - Beautiful Blossoms

Have you ever shopped for a particular flower but couldn't find the right one?
Well, now's your chance to design some.

Here are the requirements:

1. Design a description of the seed packet (15/15/15 or long description <60 characters).
2. Long description for a plot of flowers from said packet (multiple flowers as one object <60 chars).
3. Show description for the same flower.
4. Design another description for another seed packet (same rules 1.).
5. Long description for a plot of flowers from the seed packet designed in 4.
6. Show description for the flower designed in number 4.

Example of a Submission:

1. a bright pink packet
2. A plot of bright pink carnations in full bloom
3. Each of these carnations is in full bloom, their petals drifting lazily on a barely-felt breeze.
(and again for 4. 5. and 6.)

Entries that do not include all requirements and follow the guidelines will not be considered eligible.
Contestants have until 11:59 p.m. PT on March 31, 2022 to get entries to me.


Ten winners will be chosen from the submitted entries.

Like all Premium Monthly Contests, entries are subject to change based on the discretion
of the GMs and QC. Entries will be judged during the first week of April. Zoelle
will not judge this contest except in the rare case of a tie. The winners will be
announced as soon as possible afterwards. Zoelle reserves the right to make any changes
to items that she, or QC, deems necessary.

Entries

Arianiss

1. a flashy packet written with "Brother Green's Miracle Grow"
2. a plot of flowering Luukosian deathwort
3. The haphazardly growing Luukosian deathworts are rather plain looking for such a dangerous herb.  Though, as you lean closer to inspect one, you take notice of its intoxicating aroma.  Perhaps it's not so plain after all as you ponder the symmetrical design of its petals and thorns.  As you casually reach out to pluck it you pause, taking notice of a thin layer of murky goo sheathing the stem.  After what seems like a long moment of indecision, you manage to pull away and decide to admire them from afar.
4. a non-descript rainbow colored packet of seeds
5. a long plot of various flowers
6. The plot contains many different types of flowers: a red rose, hyacinth, stargazer lily, jasmine, lilac, and magnolia.  The flowers are properly spaced with plenty of room to grow and the plot appears sectioned to be able to cater to the need of each one.

Gespry

1. an ethereal,blue seed,packet
2. A plot of blue iceblossoms with delicate ethereal petals
3. Each of the ethereal blue iceblossoms glistens as if they were dusted with translucent ice crystals
4. a bright,yellow seed,packet
5. a large plot of blooming yellow snow lilies cover the area
6. Each bright yellow snow lily turns back upon itself into a resemblance to a shooting star, which is replicated to perfection by each of its neighbors all around it.

Kalyrra

1. a deep purple packet secured by a shadowy grey wax seal
2. a plot of scarlet-tipped black nightshade
3. The pure white, five-petalled blossoms of the black nightshade sway gently in the breeze, almost as if trying to tempt passersby to partake of the glossy black berries. A touch of scarlet highlights the tip of each petal, serving as a subtle reminder of the harmful nature of this flower.
4. a crimson-edged smoke grey packet
5. a plot of crimson-hearted black lotus
6. Each lotus rests delicately along the surface of the water, gliding back and forth in the gentle breeze. The velvety black petals gently curve upward, perfectly framing the contrasting crimson found in the center of the blooms.

Leafiara

1. A purple-gradient seed packet with a yellow tearing stripe
2. A plot of blossoming lotus flowers in vivid purples
3. The purple lotus blossoms bask in the light as they stretch their large, layered petals outward and upward, appearing like an organic monument inviting attention to their contrasting yellow cores.
4. A vivid packet colored with a spectrum of pinks and reds
5. A plot of thriving zinnias in vibrant hues
6. A sprawling array of petals rings each zinnia in an almost excessive display of elegance and grandeur.

Obelin

1. a small pink packet covered in deep violet orbs
2. a dense plot of moonflowers in indigo and claret hues
3. This particular blossom is the soft gradient of deepest sunset, from a blue so dark as to be almost black to a razor-thin white lip on the edge of each petal.
4. a brilliant yellow packet with scattered brown dots
5. a plot of thick-stalked enormous yellow sunflowers
6. The plate-sized lurid yellow bloom seems to be making a truly valiant attempt to earn its name, surrounding a lush amber disc of pollen.

Starletdawn

1. A luminous silver packet embossed with a full Liabo moon
2. A plot of waxen silvery-white moonflowers (nighttime bloom only)
3. As you look closely at the full bloom of a silvery-white moonflower, you see faint iridescent veins that spiral outwards to form a delicate five-pointed star.  The waxen glow of the gently under-curled petals seems to mimic that of the overhead Liabo moon.  The vines of each flower sprout heart-shaped, verdant green leaves that are dotted with twinkling drops of dew.
4. A fiery red packet emblazoned with a golden sun
5. A plot of vibrant orange-red Phoen’s poppies (daytime bloom only)
6. Each tall stalk of dark cyan foliage boasts a single cup-shaped flower, ablaze with radiating shades of yellows, oranges, and reds. The four silky, flame-tipped petals of the poppy waver slightly in the breeze, creating a swirl of sunny colors.  A small burst of bright yellow stamens, laden with golden pollen, leaps from the fiery red center of the flower.
