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. The address of our greenhouse is: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Dreamworld%20Panda/151/96/22

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:

Today PlantPets is 6 years old! To commemorate this occasion we will exclusively release a limited number of the plantpet Eleusis *Glamorous* which was created especially for the 3th birthday of PlantPets in December 2010. Three years ago we released 70 copies of Eleusis *Glamorous*, each with a serial number. This year, from today to the end of December, we will give a copy of Eleusis *Glamorous* to every avatar who satisfies the following condition:

For the third time PlantPets are participating in the Breedables Fair at the RFL Christmas Expo in support of Relay For Life of Second Life and the American Cancer Society. The Fair will opened on Dec. 1st and will close on Dec. 15th.

We are very excited to announce that today we are releasing 11 beautiful Caladium PlantPets. They were built by Roxy Bergiere who also decorated the PlantPets kiosk at the RFL Christmas Expo 2013 which started yesterday (more about the expo later).

Following the PlantPets Q&As session, which took place last Thursday at a LiTTLe BiT of EVERYTHING by NECK, we are releasing for purchase the limited edition Petite Rose *Pilgrim* which was given away to all avatars who attended the Q&A session.
