Ya, that is how it has gone. Except now I no longer am getting a gem in the market. That's new. At least for me.

The gem market vision doesn't always show up all the time, if you don't see it then try again a few hours later. One thing I've noticed with it is that if I do all my other visions first, it's usually gone until later. If I check it first, it's almost always there and then I do the other visions. So always look for it before doing other visions.

My experience too, exactly. 
And as viviane said, leave the Tolzar visions until after you’ve reached your rose limit, if you want gems instead 🐨

Bad news, after spending up to 15k in the rift for the past 2 days while trying to get the 2 new dragons, it appears that they were hot fixed and can no longer be bred. Check the Breeding Hints, they've been removed. They were there yesterday. Another bug, fixed without notice to us, and I've been wasting my caves trying to get them. Lucky we saw this now, it could have been days or weeks of wasted attempts.

Back to running just co-op for it, and without breeding options this event became a lot less interesting. No rift version will be possible either.

Here's a tip: If you do the Tolzar thing before you reach the daily max, you get 50 roses per vision and they don't count against the max. However, if you do Tolzar after you reach the daily max, you get 1 gem per vision.

Just put a link to the event FAQs page in the OP. Found this there:

Community Rewards

During Gardenia's Color Guard, all Roses you collect in your park will help to restore the color to DragonVale, and earn prizes for everyone in the DragonVale community. You can see how many Roses you've earned for the community at any time by tapping the bouquet of Roses underneath the Rose counter icon on the left side of your screen. The progress bar there represents the actual contributions from DragonVale players around the world.

Each time the community collects enough Roses, the color will be returned to one element and a reward will be given to everyone who contributed. After a reward is given the progress bar will reset and start counting towards the next goal.

It is important to note that you can continue to contribute Roses towards the community reward after you've reached your daily cap. This additional Roses are not added to your personal total, but will be added to your community contribution.

And looking at the community progress bar, it will probably have the 1st colour back in a day or two.

That explains why some of my games are off from others by multiples of 50 roses. I’ve been going for the extra gem and Ts’Aishen first, and sometimes I don’t get 3 Tolzar visions right in a row. If I get 2 now and 1 later, I’ve hit max before I get the 3rd vision. I need to do Tolzar first. Thanks for mentioning this.

Oh ya, I remember now. I've complained about this before and was told the same thing. And it works.

Welcome to my world. Every day's a brand new day. Hopefully I can hold on to this information for the next time I can't find the gem in the market. I bet I could get trapped in one of those same day repeat loops like in Groundhog Day or Russian Doll and it would take me awhile to figure out it was the same day over and over.

Just something i'm noticing in my park, sometimes I get 1 rose from a habitat and sometimes I get 2. Weird. But I guess that's  better than zero roses which is what BFS has been giving for collecting from habitats lately.

Full, overflowing habitats with gold give 2 roses. The gold icon will have gold spilled underneath it. Icons for gold, but not overflowing, give 1 rose, when the habitat has a lot of gold but isn't full.

That’s what I figured...

[dellinda]

what's the maximum amount of roses for competing at the arena? I get 30, 20. Is it even worth it?

I never noticed that before. Was it always like that?

[Karenglass]

This is by far the worse game in dragonvale ever.  I dislike the lack of color.  There are  no gardenias to find.  It is not as much fun as before.😢

[skeeter622]

I can’t even play. It freezes and I have to restart which is slower than mollases. I’ll sit this event out.

[viviane]

We got a message saying that our joint effort brought back Fire ... next is earth on the community collection bar. No trace though of any color back ..

Okay, scratch that.  Looks like that must have been a bug. Now the roses DO count against the max. But it’s still the case that you get gems after you reach the daily max.

Does delete and reinstall fix it? Refer to Shiny Things in Encyclopaedia Dracontine for the steps. That’s what BFS is rec players do...🐨

"During Gardenia's Color Guard, all Roses you collect in your park will help to restore the color to DragonVale, and earn prizes for everyone in the DragonVale community."

I don't see any color either. And where's our prize?

[Kiwichris]

Close out totally, then reopen, after you get the in game wizards chatting about colour returning, et voila earth is back. Earth skin too, and some decos.
More colour on loading splash screen too. And wasn’t the event island all one thing at the beginning? Now two separate islands, same shapes as on splash screen, divided by briar....the power of Roses 😲

[ukwildcats4ever]

I love this! It is so cool to look through the islands and see bits of color! I was holding my breath - thinking that the game would crash and be gone until Monday! It did kick me out, I had just chosen my prizes from the race track. I'm not sure I got them - but this is still really interesting.

[GladeMaid]

There is obviously a glitch. On one of my parks the Earth habitats have their colour back and the progress bar is heading towards Fire, on the other the Earth habs are still grey and the progress bar is heading towards Earth still.
