Pink spots. Listening to the wind rustling through the trees and knocking their leaves off. The leaves tumble to the ground and dance in circles and eventually end up in the pool where they slowly descend to the bottom of the pool and plug up the pool cleaning system causing a short circuit and small regional power outage followed by a sonic boom as emergency vehicles converge on the wind but the wind merrily dances away.

Briar Vinca for @ethicaltreatmentofcowplants' Simply Lilac BC

Contestant

Name: Briar Vinca (Brai-err Veen-kuh) Age Group: YA (about the same age as Lilac) Pronouns: She/Her Orientation: Pansexual Hometown: Henford-On-Bagley Occupation: Florist Skills: Gardening and basic cooking Traits: Lazy, Green Fiend, Vegetarian Aspiration: Eco Innovator Life State: Human Likes: Gardening, Spirited Sims, Small Talk, Blue, Green, Pink, Nature Enthusiasts, Singing, Affection, Deep Thoughts, Discussing Hobbies, Discussing Interests, Family-Motivated Sims, Homebody Sims, Singer-Songwriter Music, Cottagecore Music, Romance Music, Pop Music Dislikes: Fitness, Potty Humor, Deception, Arguments, Gossip, Argumentative Sims, Emotional Decision-Makers, METAL MUSIC, Electronica Music, DJ Booth Music, Alternative Music Gifts: A finished cross-stitch piece (1), A painting (2), any flower (3) Misc: A nerd about flowers. She is very knowledgable in flowering plant biology

In Depth: Briar is an environment-conscious florist who was born, raised, and still a current resident of Henford-on-Bagley. She was adopted by a pair of mothers, Estelle Vinca and Madelynn Goth (yes, a descendant of the Goth family). She has an older brother named Oakley, who is a science baby born from Estelle and Madelynn's genetics. He is now a professional mixologist and a seasoned bowler living in Chestnust Ridge, but he and Briar grew up together in the most rural part of Henford-on-Bagley: The Bramblewood. Their mothers ran a farm there (both with crops and livestock) and it was this farm that Briar grew to love gardening and plants. She's not as good as Estelle (who upkept the garden), but she's learning the ropes! Briar is now living in Finchwick, but she's still very much a country girl and loves her life in Henford-on-Bagley. Briar cares a lot about climate change and wants to help save the environment. She makes sure she's wearing ethically-made clothing and one of the reasons why she's living in Finchwick is to be walking-distance from the stores, no car needed! She's also vegetarian by choice because she grew up surrounded by animals and doesn't like the thought of eating meat (though she is ok with consuming things like eggs and dairy as long as they were ethically produced). Briar wants to take her shot at the BC because she thinks she and Lilac have a lot in common, and also because she grew up simple-living her entire life because of her remote upbringing. Therefore she doesn't think the simple-living will be much of a challenge for her

Other: She's my Gen 7 spare of my Vinca legacy and is the niece of Lucian!

That little pink vinca planted itself somehow in the perfect spot.

Look y’all!!! Spring is just around the corner.

My Tiger Lillie’s are coming up, there are purple flowers on the Vinca already, my Quince is in full bloom (pink), and there are buds on my tulip tree.

I also saw buds on other trees, dandelions, and daffodils. Daffodils!!!

So happy. Buh-bye winter.

Pinka Vinca nestled softly in the Himalyan slopes. PBDJ launched an expedition in 2019 to find the Pinka Vinca. We hired yaks and yak herders, tahrs and tahr herders, takin and takin herders, musk deer and musk deer herders, pika and pika herders, argali and argali herders, and a cat, a Himalyan cat, no herder required. At which point we were so exhausted, we took out our cell phone and snapped this picture and went home.

Blissful Reverie

🕊️🦉🌙

In dreams, a house of pink roses fair,

Where love birds serenade my feline, rare.

Fluffy and pure, his gentle mien,

Amidst my jungle's vibrant sheen.

A lush garden, where veggies thrive,

Fruits crisp, mangoes keep dreams alive.

Gardenias, night jasmine, a scent divine,

Bougainville, hibiscus, orchids, vincas, in a graceful line.

Waterlilies, dragonflies, lily pads serene,

Grass blades graze my boat, pristine.

Vibrant hyacinths cleanse waters pure,

For fish and frogs, their joys endure.

Vines entwine, their tendrils reach,

Adorning each corner, nature's speech.

Upon my walls, they gracefully twine,

Adding charm, with hues so fine.

As the fragrant breeze whispers its gentle sighs,

Through the balcony, my silk silhouette softly glides.

In the embrace of the sun's sleepy yawn,

Amber hues drape the sky as day's curtain is drawn.

Cicadas call, owls hoot, insects hum a vibrant tune,

I cultivate the land beneath the moon,

As fireflies dance to night's melodious croon,

A nocturnal choir in perfect sync attune.

I capture a painting of nature's grace,

As I witness stars in their cosmic race.

The moon emerges, its shimmering light,

As night bids the day a tender goodnight.

In hand, a book by the fireplace's glow,

I succumb to the night's enchanting show.

Unbound by city's harsh decree,

In dreams, I wander, wild and free.

Frozen Fever: Elsa's flower mystery: Part 2

I've been thinking about what Elsa's flower is called ever since the short came out. But I never came round to a conclusion nor did I break it down. In part 1, I started seeing the possibilities of six petals pink flowers such as stargazer lilies and river lilies etc. but although they are similar, they're not quite exact or as close to the flower we see Elsa use on her attire. But now I'm going to narrow it down further by looking at flowers in Norway. Sunflowers are in Norway too so Elsa's flower must also be in Norway too and it's the summer so these flowers of Elsa's must also grow in the spring and summer.

Here's a reminder of what Elsa's flowers look like in the vase before she puts them on her attire:

So I've searched up pink flowers in Norway and none of the flowers I've seen look even the slightest closest to Elsa's one. So now then I start looking for red flowers because these flowers look closer to red than purple. But then again nothing.

But taking something away from my research in part 1, the results were mostly of different kinds of Lilies. So that gets me digging for lilies in Norway and then I find this:

Red Asiatic lily.

This lily is red but also comes in pink as shown on the right. Below the flower multiple leaves spiral around it that look like flowers. But it doesn't look close to it.

The flowers we see in Frozen Fever are actually smaller and have slightly straight petals and a small center in the middle. And also though they are small some can be tiny.

So then I do a much smarter thing which I should've done in the first place lol. I do a visual search. I go on Google photos and click the lens which puts the image in the Google search bar in images and finds images that are close to the photo. The results are as below:

Soiree Kawaii aka Vinca (Catharanthus)

It's possible that the flowers shown in the short didn't actually have 6 petals but 5. The leaves too also make a similar flower shape though they're bigger than the flowers. The only other difference is that these flowers don't have printed tips but rather rounded ones and I don't think they grow in Norway.

Ceratopatalum gummiferum Albery’s red

These flowers also have 5 petals and are 'red' and have 3 pointed leaves rather than 6 like Elsa's but they do match closely with Elsa's flower. In fact it's the closest result I've seen yet. This too doesn't seem to grow in Norway.

Christmas Cactus

Though the flowers look close, the leaves are definitely not it.

Azalea starstyle pink

These are close but not quite there. The pink petals are much more than 6. Though they're quite cute and pink it's not the one.

So in conclusion, hehe I don't know what the flower is exactly. There are some 6 petal pink/ red flowers but they don't match up exactly or as close and not do the 5 petal ones. Some are close and some are not so. If there ever is an opportunity to ask a question to any of the Frozen team, I'll definitely ask this question to put a lid on this full filling jar of mystery. If you guys have other alternatives to what Elsa's flower is please do let me know. All I can conclude is that it's most likely a type of lily.. unless all lilies are big in which case then, I have no idea what it could be.

Sorry for the disappointment but at least we got some options to what it could be. We did get somewhere. But I think for now this is to be put on pause until we get closer to the actual flower. Tangled's flower looks identical to a stargazer lily so I'm certain Elsa's flower isn't that. For now I'll put this topic to rest unless I come closer to finding out what to do and I'll make a part 3 which will be linked here.
