[center][img]http://i.imgur.com/Xu7vNoP.gif[/img] [i][color=brown]You approach a wooden and rather creaky stall that stands by the festival ground's dusty road. The stall's owner doesn't seem to be present at the moment, so you take a moment to examine the desk that's littered with small dry stem parts and leaf shreds. Then you look up and see a curtain at the back of the stall, moving in the wind and exposing a large shelf stacked with vases. "Hey yo, just a minute!" The shout can be heard from an overgrown ditch nearby. The foliage shakes wildly for a while before an autumn colored Imperial fights it's way out of the bushes.[/color] [/i] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=2811836] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/28119/2811836_350.png[/img] [/url] [i][color=brown]"Welcome, traveler! I'm Helianthus, the owner of this stall. Are you here to see my plant collection? Sorry for the wait. I was looking for some herbs." Helianthus tilts his sedge hat in greeting and shakes off some dry leaves that had stuck in his fur. He swiftly moves behind the table and turns to face the shelf hidden by the curtain, grabbing something from the vases here and there while mumbling to himself. Then he takes an empty vase, fills it with water and drops a bunch of different plants in it. Helianthus places the vase on the table and sits down, looking back at you again. "There you go! The game is simple - name the plants on that vase. If you're lucky you might win something nice. Take your time..." The dragon humms while stroking the hair of his chin.[/color] [/i] [img]http://i.imgur.com/LwSd5oC.png[/img] [right][size=2]Thanks Charliex8 for the graphics![/size][/right] Click the banner to visit the Greenskeeper Gathering festival hub!

Participating is free to everyone except for Nature users. We have similar game in [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?board=fl10&id=1028185&p=mb]Nature's private forum[/url], so if you like to identify plants for fun then that's the place for you. New set of pictures are published every day in the third post. Each picture has a point value, depending on how challenging the plants are to identify (for example, full picture of a common flower will have low value, while an obscure picture of a rare plant will have high value). Correct answer gives you full points, close answer* half points and wrong/blank answer 0 points. (*For example, if there's a misspelling in the name, or if I ask for full name (genus and species) but you can only get the genus right. There doesn't exist half a ticket though, so if you get total of i.e. 10.5 points, then it'll be recorded as 10 tickets in the raffle ticketsheet). Participating gives you +1 point/ticket every day, no matter how you score with your guesses!

The user with the most points each day wins the daily prize. If there's a draw between two or more users, the winner will be decided using [url=http://www.random.org/]random.org[/url]. You can win more than one daily prize, and also win a prize from the raffle on top of the daily prize/s you've won during the week. [b]Raffle Prizes:[/b] The points you earn from the game are turned into tickets and recorded in the ticket spreadsheet. After the game is closed, winners will be drawn using [url=www.random.org]random.org[/url]. You can win only one prize from the raffle - unless there's more prizes than there are participants. After the winners have been drawn, each winner then may create a prize preference list and post it. Prizes will be distributed in the order the winners have been drawn. You have 24 hours to take your pick. If I don't get your list in time, you'll be bumped down the winners list. If you don't answer my 2nd ping in 24 hours, your place will be given to someone else.

Have a wonderful festival week! :D

I got some questions about the terms "Genus, species and variety" via private message. I try to explain them here as well.

If the picture description asks to "Name genus/species" I'm expecting the participants to name the genus/species of the plant in the picture.

Genus and species are taxonomic ranks. Together they form the scientific name of a living thing. For example: Helianthus annuus is the scientific name of sunflower. (Helianthus = genus, annuus = species).

"Variety" is the same as cultivar. Ornamental plants often have many different cultivars, that do not occur in nature, but are created by human (selective breeding). For example, Helianthus annuus 'Prado Red' is a red variety of sunflower.

The game looks awesome @Ikunoche! I'll be interested to finally see all the other pictures that were submitted

@Ikunoche
What a fun initiative! Will certainly take part ^^

Some of the pictures are a bit small and really hard to see though (please keep in mind some of us are from different countries and unfamiliar with certain plants, so identifying them without a clear picture will be impossible since I have never seen them). Is there a way to get a close-up or full sized picture? In particular, I mean 9, 10 & 11.

@Velocirosie Thanks! I'm so glad you all guys could sent me such wonderful pictures. ^^

@Byou Sure! Just click the icon and it should show you a larger image. This thread is pretty image heavy so I figured icons would help with that. n_n;
