Well it has been a while since I posted in here. For anyone who is new in here recently, hi my name is Isabela and I’m the owner and shop manager of the flower shop Madrigal Blooms.

So I was thinking about a project that I have been working on for some time. I know that we do have a garden at the Residential District where people can plant and harvest different types of fruits, vegetables and flowers but what I have in mind is a little different. I have been trying to see if I can start on making a garden where we don’t just showcase the best flora that Songerein has to offer but it also will feature plants native to our worlds. Maybe seeing something familiar from home could at least make being far away from our worlds and loved ones in a realm of dreams a little less somber. It’ll be seasonal in nature so each plant and flower species can have the spotlight on them every season.

In addition I have been trying to get some ideas of what I can include in the gardens. So far I have trying to incorporate flowers and leaves that are used for tea to enhance the senses but I’m always open for more ideas. If you have specific plant life you have been thinking of in your world, I’ll do my best to add that in. I could sure use all the help I can get for this one. Although I won’t mind having suggestions for me to consider to my shop’s offerings too.

Bringing a little home into this world? I approve! I don't really know how to bring in plantlife from my timeline, but there's this type of flower you should definitely know about!

It's all blue and thrives in springlike weather and can repeat the last thing anyone says within a certain vicinity. It's called an Echo Flower. There's tons of them around Waterfall from where I'm from.

What do you think about plants that explode?

[Bomb flowers are totally valid flora to import.]

Good afternoon, Isabella-san!

I think that that project sounds wonderful. Someone told me that there's a garden here, and I think that they've given some of what they've grown from it before, but... if you still need help beyond that, or anything else, I'd love to help in any way that I can.

This is a good idea. Thank you for arranging it.

I would like to add a flower from my home called a fire lily. They are well-known for their beauty, though they only bloom for a couple weeks each summer. Some parts of the country even celebrate the fire lily season with festivals in its honor. Even if their beauty is short-lived, fire lilies are important to my people and unique to the Fire Nation.
