“Bacon of Hope” Hunt at New Toulouse

Besides the Relay Weekend, Gemma Cleanslate has also been at New Toulouse in the past few days for their "Bacon of Hope" hunt. In the game, using a HUD, you look for plants of a particular kind of invasive species considered a threat to local ecology, which can be exchanged for bacon. At the end are some boxes of gifts. But one possible complication in the hunt for the flowers are the hippos that have somehow found their way into the swampland, and running into one could be bad.

Cartoon of the Day: Flowery Prank

Taken at the Fantasy Fair. I stumbled across a live podcast by Draxtor Despress, and hopping over, this guy was sitting down, and his AO would occasionally put him in this position. That's Tantari Kim in the corner. And no, she would *never* pull a prank like this (crosses fingers behind back).

New Species of Lindo Virtual Flowers

Today our newest writer, MajikVixen, writes about a game in Second Life called Lindo Virtual Flowers. The game is designed to give the gamer a few Lindens, while increasing traffic to locations taking part in the game. One can also buy seeds for bonuses, and the top scoring players get a bonus in the number of Lindens they get. So where can aspiring green thumbs find one of these plants?

Laura Liberty’s Valentine Town

Valentine's Day is almost here. And that means getting some gifts for a loved one, or perhaps just walking around in a place with a romantic atmosphere. DrFran Babcock found one such place at Builder's Brewery: Valentine Town. There, one can get some candy & flowers, or a card, or just browse around the sights where love truly is in the air.

Press Release: Gairdin na Sidhe Flower Shop in Trouble

Dear flower lovers,

The sim-owner is experiencing bank issues since he moved to Ecuador, which is making it difficult to transfer money to the Lindens. If we can't raise the tier money for this month, the sim will disappear on April 23rd and with it Gairdin na Sidhe.

To help raise the money, I've set all the vased flowers at half price and put a donation box out for those who want to help support us. All sales and proceeds will be going towards the tier for this month to keep the sim and the store alive.

If we don't make it, I'd like to thank all of you who've visited and enjoyed my products. Let's hope this isn't our final goodbye. :)

Thanks for all the help and support! <3

Editor's Note: For those who don't know, Euranna was the manager of the defunct STA: a place in 2007 which besides its purpose of helping arrange trips abroad also served as a hangout and a starter place for newcomers. Following the STA's vanishing in Jan 2008, Euranna eventually founded the flower shop, where she continued to do business up to now. It really is a nice little flower shop, with gifts for all occasions.

Looking for an egg tree, or a bunny wishing Happy Easter? As usual Vickijo Rivera is way ahead of you with a myriad of Easter trees, bunnies, flowers and much more! You will find some delightful bunnies, large and small, eggs of all varieties, egg trees, arches and so much more.

The best thing about this place is that as usual it is all free. Sweetsister Silverstar and Saucy Loire, at Vickijo’s direction outdoes themselves at every holiday making sure you will get some wonderful decorations for your homes. I walked across a few emitter rugs that threw out some cute bunnies. I tasted a cake and some candy and found a sweet pair of bunny slippers to wear.

Be sure you get there in the next week to pick up your fun items. Look up in the air and you will find some low prim floaters you may like.

The decorations are available at Tranquility Harbor (50, 150, 22)

Arctic Greenhouse

Grey Lupindo takes a look at the Arctic Greenhouse. Not only can one look at the plants and flora in this refuge of greenery in a place of ice, but one can play the games as here as well. The prize: one gets to take home one of the plants.
