Gardenia's Gathering of Roses - 2016

[onejoebloggs]

Ok, I couldn't wait. I sped it up and it was a Surprise!

I am sharing it in my CBC. GCID onejoebloggs.

No aura's either in both parks. So officially whining X2. Lol

Me too, been constantly trying in the coop in both parks since event start. Not feeling any luck!

I managed to get a surprise on my island on the fourth try, which I am really happy about. All the fails were reasonably short, however, when I also tried pairing a delight with someone else's surprise in the coop I ended up with a bronze.

Now I wish I hadn't bought Surprise. I bred Serenity and Ire a couple times for some pedestals so I can unlock the final prize tier. Got a Surprise as a fail... well at least I don't have to buy the Surprise Dragon Pedestal.

Hey guys, finally managed to breed one of the Auras! Got Surprise in the EBI with Flower and Flash. I was just about to buy it too! So stoked!

[crumble608]

Instead of Scorch+Swamp I used my Elder Water + Love.
Success in two parks which is very necessary because I couldn't breed a single Aura up to now and don't have enough roses to buy all 5.

Congrats to all who have bred Suprise!

For those of you that have bought or hatched the Surprise dragon, did it count towards the prize count in the Rose Depot? If it did count, what do you think will happen when it leaves at the end of the weekend (i.e., will it remain in the Rose Depot, just grayed out, but still counting towards your prize count or will the prize count go back down)?

I think I saw 2 roses fly out when it was placed in the habitat, and it did count towards unlocking the last level.

Serenity + Ire finally gave me an Ire! I'll be switching for Surprise next.

Wouldn't it be great if the Love dragon is the secret ingredient for the Surprise dragon, due to Valentine Day being on the horizon?

Am I the only person who gets a max error when trying to spin the wheel and enter the arena? I can get roses by hatching etc but can't enter the arena or spin the wheel. I've done everything to try and fix it.

[Mr. Bones]

Nice, Surprise in co-op with Seaweed + Love. Seems pretty easy to breed.

[macizoe]

Got a Surprise in my Cave, double rainbow in the island. Looks like breeding a Surprise with another Surprise opens you up to a ton of possibilities!

I'm having the same issues... Nothing seems to be fixing it!

Firefly and Seaweed (as recommended), 19h12m on the island. Looks like a surprise Surprise

What a wonderful place to be
On a forum with all of thee
My eyes may blur since my roses don't reset
But it matters little with all of you I've met

For how you make me smile and laugh
When these events confound and I can't do the math
Thank goodness for our mods and members alike
Who humbly offer their aid over the mike

May Gardenia grace your vales with roses
As those elusives stop keeping you on your toe-ses
Maybe Valentines Day will bring koalas
Or we may all need to spend some 'dollas

(My apologies for the pitiful last rhyme).

I have been unable to successfully breed an aura dragon during the event, until today - a lovely Surprise - using heat and ice in my EBI. Others seem to be having some luck with this one; I hope it reaches all forum members!

[Mahel]

I got the Surprise too! My first Aura through breeding, at last. I speed it up and I'm sharing it in the coop now. Koala to everyone!

Something strange happens this weekend. On a normal event day, I should have been maxed out at 1445 Roses, but actually hit max at 2445 roses. Maybe we have a Double Weekend but it's just not showing? I'm confused...

[scarreddragon]

Did some math and felt like I could get all or almost all I wanted, including buying Surprise with roses. I might have to skip the last Omnitat, and the second Aura habitat depending on how much extra I can bank and friends gifts, but overall could get all the dragons and decorations.

Then like a silly person I decided to go on a buying spree... without checking my current amount of roses or maxing out first. *sigh*

I only collected the standard 1000. Perhaps you forgot to increase tally yesterday and were aiming for the wrong amount?

You're right, maybe due to my flue, I was one day behind on my spreadsheet. But without you mentioning this possibility I would'nt have realized it. Thanks!
