We have been revamping our very old dendrobium orchids. Hernesto Kayo of Zpr created a set of very beautiful new textures to fit our original 3D build of the dendrobium orchid. He has created 9 different colors. On the 28th of November we will release 2 versions of each color: one with 3 stems and a second one with a single stem. That makes 18 new plantpets in total.

With the release of the new dendrobium orchids, the 3 old ones will become limited editions, i.e. while they will still give baby seeds they will never come as seeds of other plantpets.

We are looking for someone to decorate the PlantPets Main Store for Christmas with up to 160 prims. To apply please send the following to Bruce Liebknecht by Saturday:

1) at least 3 pictures of your work as a decorator;
2) a notecard with links to products on the SL marketplace which you intend to use.

Please note that the Evil Broccoli plantpet has only one gene at the moment. It is the gene "potato head" with strength 50%. That means the baby seeds of the Evil Broccoli plantpet will be any Potato Head in 50% of the cases and any other non-limited plantpet in the other 50% of the cases. Please also not that we have united the Evil Broccoli with the Potato Heads in species Vegetable Heads.

The Evil Broccoli and Mission have been released today at midday SLT. Initially, 250 copies are available for purchase in two vendors. Vendor A with 100 seeds will sell only one seed per avatar (if the avatar has not purchased any broccoli yet). Vendor B with 150 seeds will sell any number of seeds to any avatar.

Please NOTE that the Evil Broccoli is mesh and may be counted as 5 non-temporary prims on your land! This is our first mesh plantpet too! The Broccoli mesh was created by EntecMedia especially for PlantPets!

This Friday, the 26th of October, PlantPets will release a limited edition (LE) Evil Broccoli PlantPet as well as an Evil Broccoli Halloween Mission. The mission will consist of feeding a hungry evil broccoli 10 growing plantpets. It will eat any plantpet and once it has eaten ten, it will award you with a LE plantpet which is randomly picked from the following plantpets:

We have just released the October 2012 PlantPets Mission! It will be sold at the PlantPets Main Store until the 22nd of October, 1 pm SLT. The cost of the mission is L$250.

Nine Sunflower plantpets have just been released, 6 common ones and 3 rare ones! All nine are listed in our catalog. Please note that they share the asterales gene with the asters and the daisies! All common sunflowers will be 25% off for members of the group PlantPets Premium until tomorrow, Oct 1st, 3 pm SLT.

We would like to warn all our customers that this September we will be implementing the annual scheduled update of the prices of the PlantPet boosters. It is expected that the price of boosters will go up by about 10%.

Some people have point out to me that our discount policy is not very clear. To make it clear to everybody, we will do the following. Starting from this Friday, all vendors in the PlantPets Main Store will have a 10% discount for members of the group PlantPets Premium, except if specified otherwise. The discounts apply to avatars who wear the group tag.
