Welcome to ~*Petal Storm*~! User Image

This is a charity about flowers. We currently are able to help questers looking for just flowers or bouquets though we wish to expand to other floral items. Our current inventory gets updated monthly or bimonthly in Petal Storm Bud's journal. Please continue reading for our rules and how to have us donate to you. This all being said, it's wonderful to have you here and we hope you enjoy your stay!

~Story~

"I've been wanting to start a charity for a while now. I'd been thinking and thinking about what kind of charity to start but nothing had come to mind. A few days ago I got my frist seed catalogue of the season in the mail and it dawned on me, why not have a floral charity? So I looked around to see if anyone was even questing for flowers and flower themed items. Since there were, I decided to start this." - Freya Rose, January 2007

User Image

~Mission~

We are here to help those who are questing for a certain number of flowers and others who have a bouquet in their quest. We also accept requests for non-game floral and plant related items. Please note that for some of them, namely evolving and donation letter/monthly collectables, we may just give a gold donation instead of the item if it's far out of our reach. We're the florist that's here to help and would like to help in any way we can.

~Rules~

1. Be polite. I can't stand rude people and being rude will only get you ignored.
2. No begging. I understand that if you're here you probably want a donation. Therefore, there is no point in begging.
3. Please don't advertise. It gets rather annoying. One simple link in your application or a banner in your signature, I understand those and they're fine. They're not what I'm talking about though. I'm talking about the large, colorful ones that people put in their posts as a bump. Please don't do that here.
4. Bumping is allowed if there's noone here to talk to. If there is someone here, talking is encouraged very much.
5. I know sometimes some people seem annoying, but try your hardest to keep from fighting with them. Everyone has their own opinions, respect that.
6. Please do not PM me unless I PMed you first. I will PM before I set up a trade and I will PM if I have questions about your quest. (This rule stands unless otherwise noted in a contest)
7. Post. It makes remembering who is who alot easier. It also helps in getting your item(s) to you faster. If I talk to you, then I know you a little better and I'm more compelled to give. This does not say that if you don't post much that I won't give you anything, I understand that you have your own quest thread that you need to bump.
8. Please stick to the Gaian TOS. This should be self explainatory.
9. My staff and I will review the applications, but we reserve the ability to refuse donations based on activity in the thread and the rules above. If for some reason we refuse, we will give you a valid reason.
10. You may apply to recieve a donation once per month.
11. Cheating in a contest in this thread is an automatic disqualification from the contest and an automatic black listing.

Please copy/paste the following and post it here in this thread for review. If I don't send you a PM telling you that I've seen it after 3 days, then you may PM me with the page number. If things start going fast, I might not have seen it. If something happens and I, Freya Rose, am not on for an extended period, please PM one of the staff members. The Reason for questing part is for you to tell me a little more about your quest. We do give monthly donations only to those questing floral game items.

In Victorian times it was normal to see flowers on anything and every one of those flowers meant something. These meanings were taken from various sources and books. This list has been made for Gaian flowers. If you have any questions or wish to know about other flower meanings PM me and I will send you the links to the sources I used.

Daffodils: Chivalry, Regard
White Daisies: Innocence
General Daisies: Loyal Love, I'll Never tell, Purity, Beauty
Pink Carnations: Gratitude, Woman's/Mother's Love
White Carnations: Sweet & Lovely, Innocence, Pure Love, Good Luck
General Carnations: Fascination, Devoted Love, Beauty
Sunflowers: False Riches, Pride, Haughtiness
