And it's greyed out still, heh. Probably just too soon; I'm not complaining yet.
I haven't been able to be around much at all this weekend (combination of busy + sick, good god I hate vertigo), and I just wanted to say somewhere public and with love: Thank you, all of you who have given me flowers. I really, really appreciate it because I can't be around so much right now and I have a lot to buy from the shop still. *hugs to all*
grr... something to complain about: I got two flowers in quick succession and couldn't get the second one because of the NOT SO SOON error. I thought that was supposed to be gone?

Give 50 flowers to another user.

I'm really not sure how you guys have managed to get so many. Admittedly I haven't been around as much as I'd like - some RL drama going on etc - but I still feel like I've checked the site for flowers fairly regularly, and yet.
It's still bothering me that I was certain I had old easter tickets saved somewhere, too.
The frequency of flower-finding seems to have slowed for me, when you'd think it would be more common as the event's nearing its end. I'm actually a bit confused about when it is going to end, because my understanding from Keith's comment was that it would be ending at midnight tonight, but it seems to still be continuing. So midnight on Monday night/Tuesday morning? I managed to snag all of the adorable new bunnies, so I'm happy either way.

That's odd, I feel like I've been finding them more often since yesterday. Maybe not!
Made it to 50 flowers sent, but even after spending too much on coins I still need to buy 15 items from esther's shop. That's... 75 coins? Iiiii think I'll try for the prize next year.
I've only bought 9 items from the shop so far, and there's still a bit I want, most notably the leg and body stencils. I don't think I'll be able to get both tonight, especially since I'm in school until 6:30 subeta time and will get home about an hour or 90 minutes after that, depending on the train I take. :/
Yeah, I'll have to wait for next year to get these achievements.

Yeah -- I got to 25 by buying the Woodland Following, the Single Fig Leaf, every Calla Top (15 coins), every Flower Basket (5 coins), and a couple of other random things that caught my eye (7-15 coins). I wanted all of these things, if only moderately in the case of the flower baskets, but it was gruelling.
I still need about 15 or so. If I bought enough coins for everything I wanted in the shop, and then enough extra to get the last achievement, I'd be spending about 9 million all together. I'm cheap, I'd rather not spend that much. I didn't work out the math to see if it'd save me any money from just buying the items themselves from the shops. :/
Well, it's over but the site could have fooled me. What's with the events never have any good posts (or any at all) when they end. It's not terribly hard to think of something festive and slap that in the news when the event is over.
However, I am at least glad that we got an official warning in the news that the event was ending yesterday, and not some comment on Twitter or forums. Yay for progress!
I was able to get the glady, yay! I was six items away from the last of the Esther achievement so I just bought a bunch of the flower baskets. I wanted them anyway so it worked out. I got everything I wanted from the shop except for two things. I don't have enough tokens for both of them so I think I might buy one and then save the rest of the tokens for next year.
In all this was a fun event! I must admit I am relieve not to have the urge to check the whole page of every page for a flower. It'll make quests a lot faster. I got so in the groove of it I found myself scrolling up and down the forum looking for a flower. ^-^'
