the garden grew a little today.
the plants
- sunflowers now hold their heads up: one bloom on a straight stalk, facing out and a little above the horizon, with a domed seed head and two rows of rays rooted around it; roses, peonies, hibiscus, lavender and snowball viburnum turn their flowers outward and up instead of toward the ground
- petals keep their color under the midday sun: a flower now carries a little of its own color at noon the way it already did at dusk, so the brighter tulips no longer wash toward tan in the middle of the day
- the succulent rosette now grows as a true rosette, its leaves rising from the soil, and blooms with three larger star flowers held just above them, so its color reads from across the garden
- a plain seed of a tree, a fern, a grass or a vine that never flowers now shows its color from its first leaf instead of once fully grown, and the kinds with 12 colors to find (the leafy ones, the glowing ones, hosta and the cattail) come up a color of their own about one time in six, half as often as before
the zero-g garden
- the zero-g garden's floating pods can be moved: take one with move and the plants growing in it come along, q and e turn it, w and s lift it, and z takes the whole move back; more pods wait in the planters group, and one set down anywhere drifts at the height you give it
the walkthrough
- 'watch the walkthrough' (under help's first answer and on the controls page) now opens a new recording of the tutorial, made after the color round: the same six minutes of a first dream, from the easel to a postcard, with the seeds panel's one card per color, gather's menu with cutting, settings in two tiers and the flowers as they are now
thank you for tending with us.
