A Rainbow of Orchids!

Unlike regular orchids, which come in a few varieties, pheonix orchids are special. Every year they bloom in different colors. Many vivid bright colors, a symbol of both diversity and hard work. For this contest, we want you to be as colorful as those flowers!


Rules!
1) Your avatar must have AT LEAST 5 separate colors in it. Skin and Eyes do not count towards this count, so please bare that in mind.
2) There are two choices for this contest: A) you may make an avi with no background that has 5 colors or B) you may make a background with no avi that has 5 colors. You may not make a avi and background combo.

2)

Star Crossed Zodiac!

During the festival many Menewshans wear masks celebrating their "Chain Zodiac" sign. The challenge for this contest it to come up with a look that is inspired by one of the creatures found in the Zodiac.

Rules!
1) No use of mask items
2) While not a solid rule, what we'll be looking for is creative use of items and color schemes. If you can successfully convey the creature without using any items named after said creature you'll be getting higher marks than some one covered in "heart face fox" items.
3) Use this form:

Image of My Entry: (your entry)zDescription or Reference



Entries in order are ..... XoGIZMOoX the day flower [a sunflower], Bearzy the day gardener, GummyBearKisses the day bug, Libra the transition from day to night changing flower, Salvete the night flower [a moon flower], Shadami the night bug, Queen_Andais the night gardener/ pest control

Our garden is a 24 hours garden. It's a very magical garden. By day it's your ordinary flower garden. We even have our own pipeing irrigation style system through out the garden. At night it is transformed into a not so normal evil pixie filled garden. The pixies corrupt the garden so we must stay on our game.

Day Gardener Bearzy`s story~ As an old lady I wanted to retire to the country, and a family friend mentioned that he had a sunflower farm he didn't have the energy to care for anymore. I jumped at the opportunity, but little did I know that a sunflower farm isn't so great when it isn't so sunny.

Day bug GummyBearKisses`s story~ I am a YANzee bug. I resemble menewsha`s Baby Yan. We go around and pollinate the flowers. We are particularly fond of the Pansies (panties) flowers. One thing though, we may look sweet and innocent but, as soon as the sun goes down we are very mischievous. We turn into evil pixies.

Night bug Shadami`s story~ Pesky Pixies love the dark and much prefer moon flowers to sunflowers. So every night when they come to life from their sunset transformation they start spreading magic across the land to turn those nasty sunflowers into glowing moon flowers that light up the darkness just enough to see by but don't over power it. Of course, their magic is slightly toxic so the night gardeners tend to try to fight them off.

Night gardener Queen_Andais`s story~ After years of working the night shift in a steel building, the idea of a job working outside in a garden appealed to me. Little did I know that night time out in nature could be so unpredictable and scary. Not sure I will stick with this job for much longer, those pesky pixies and giant bugs are treacherous to handle.

Drop Bear:
This is a Ponicorn. They sort of resemble a unicorn, and they have the enchanted horn on their heads. But that's about where the resemblance stops. Ponicorns are neither as tall or as long as unicorns, lacking the back half of the horse, they're just the front legs and shorter. They also have a set of small and ultimately useless wings. It's almost like after some God made unicorns, he threw all the left over pieces together and thought "Eh, I'm done. I need a beer..." and wandered off without bothering to put many good bits on...

Oh, and they're pissed off about it too! They hate that unicorns are such revered creatures. As a result, they spend a lot of time sabotaging and destroying great things that unicorns make with their magic horns.

But, although the magic in their horns aren't nearly as powerful as their taller and longer relatives, their poop is amazingly magical, and super great fertilizer. So they burn down a unicorn garden one week, and poop on it for good measure, and a week later, there's a an incredible garden back again, but with a vengeance from the magical poop!

This is why you dont want Ponicorns in your garden, just nearby, in your neighbours garden, so you can steal their poop for your own!
Woodlandnymph:
Beatrix B. Sheeran came into work at the Menewshan Arboretum fueled on coffee and her love of all things green. It was her second week at her dream job and she could not WAIT to take care of all the rare plants and flowers. Last night she had the most pleasant dream that because of her careful pruning and maintenance, the fickle giant Amorphophallus titanum bloomed and that visitors and specialists from all over flew in to see the magnificent and pungent flower in its splendor. She woke up, smiling, with reminiscences of the praise of her dream still fresh in her mind.

Rounding the corner into the main conservatory, shovel and scythe in hand, Beatrix could smell the Amorphophallus titanum before she could see it. Instead what she was met with was utter destruction and...oh...oh everywhere......who would...what would do such a thing?!

Eyes watering she dashed out, dry heaving as the scent of feces clung to her. It was a disaster. She'd be fired! As the last person out, Beatrix had locked up tight. She'd be blamed! She fumbled with the keys and burst into the security room. After checking all the video from the night before...there.... she found it. Something had been hiding out in the conservatory behind a vending machine. A unicorn? No...it looked too punk to be a unicorn. This had to be the rare and destructive Ponicorn.

She had to think fast.... She called up her boss and explained what happened. Maybe they could use this to their advantage. If the books were right, the Ponicorn's poo-saster would mean a beautiful, new and improved garden by next week. They called all the newspapers, TV stations, and specialists in Menewsha to come down next Saturday for the grand unveiling....and perhaps with a little luck and a lot of fertilizer, the Amorphophallus titanum would bloom after all...
Linnea:
Description or Reference
Amorphophallus titanum, aka the Corpse Flower. Known for their pungent smell, size, and the rarity of their blooms.

No problemo. Next question: White and black count as colours? Usually they're only counted as accents.

Well i'm not official or anything. xD but during color challenges backgrounds can count against you if they have a color in them that's not allowed. so Pretty sure it would count for you as well. xD
