Starting from today the old and rare Lucky Bamboo *Green* (new name *Elegance*) joins the gene pool of the other lucky bamboos. That is, the seeds given by it can be any lucky bamboo and it may come as a baby seed of any other lucky bamboo.

Today we release 14 new lucky bamboo plants. These are 7 common bamboo plants named after the days of the week and 7 rare ones named after the Seven Lucky Gods of good fortune in Japanese mythology and folklore. They are:

In anticipation of releasing 14 new lucky bamboo plantpets we are changing the catalog name of Lucky Bamboo *Green* to Lucky Bamboo *Elegance*. Breeders don't need to take any action. The seeds named Lucky Bamboo *Green* will deliver the same plant but with the new catalog name.

Today we released the limited edition plantpet Easter Egg Factory! It belongs to the species Wondergarden but it has the same genes as our Easter Egg Tree. That is, its baby seeds will be among the plantpets with the Spring gene. The included particle effect of rainbow coloured butterflies makes use of clipart textures created by http://jassy2012.deviantart.com.

Calla Lilies have been in the plantpets catalog since the very beginning of PlantPets. Now we have decided to update our calla lilies by releasing a new version. The new calla lilies are 12 and all can be seen in our web catalog. Six of them are common and six are rare. The six common ones can be purchased at the PlantPets Main Store L$595 each and the six rare ones will come as baby plantpets of them. You can also get the six rare ones with the PlantPets Yule mission.

We have started a 25% off sale of Christmas trees, poinsettias, Xmas cactus and the new Christmas caladium plantpets in the PlantPets little greenhouse at the wonderful breedables market a LiTTLe BiT of EVERYTHING by NECK.

I would like to thank all PlantPet breeders and friends for having PlantPets nominated as a Favorite Breedable at the Avi Choice Awards 2013. We did not win but it was honour to be nominated and participate in this event. I uploaded a few pictures from the awards ceremony which took place yesterday afternoon SLT. I’d like to apologise for the grey spots and unrezzed objects in the pictures. The awards venue was very hard to load in its completeness.

Due to a faulty system by Naughty or Nice, we removed the Naughty or Nice box from our Christmas pavilion and also disabled the gift card button on some vendors in the main store.

This year, PlantPets participate in the OOAK auction at the Christmas Breedables Fair with one-of-a-kind version of our white orchid. There are a few unique features in this item:
