*Hamnet and Factor like yellow and purple flowers, respectively, but they both like the white ones. Sophie would speak up when she saw some nice blue ones, sitting a little off to the side, where she can lean back against something*
*there was a wide variety to be seen, in all kinds of colors, including small, dense shrubs that had their outsides completely covered in tiny colored flowers, and little fruit-bearing plants that produced a wide variety of berries*

0u0 it can be good... after the seeds have been cared for, and have had their growth assured. ^u^ I personally like strawberry, even if its... difficult to tend to the seeds... Sometimes I... ^u^ ... 0_0 ^u^ um. never mind...
