The original post for day one was going to be an introductory post to the format, explaining how me being ill has hindered me from making any before now, and a brief walk to the corner shop three streets from me. However, after I set off I noticed how many more flowers had been planted since I last played a week ago.
When I left, there was only three planters in my area:
-Me
-The Mystery Planter (more on them in Day 0 when I write it) to my north
-Someone to my east, who started planting the same day I fell ill
But now, the whole place is absolutely covered! I could see the epicenter of the planting, an INCREDIBLY densely covered area with 3 flowers, and I knew I had to see it myself.
I hadn't taken this particular route before, and WOW it was beautiful. The city I live is one of The Big Old Cities in England, and this part had some beautiful architecture, along with a great view over my area.
Anyways, I got to the area and found out it was the local park! As mentioned before, I'd never taken this path before so I didn't even realise until I saw the place. Most of the large flowers were in bloom, but there was one with only 10 flowers left until it was fully grown. It was a plaque about how the real measuring stick of a great city is it's public spaces. Honestly, the self-important poetic waxing writes itself.
On my way back, I went through a lesser-used side path, and came across another epicenter of flowers. This one was in a far less obvious spot, just right outside a half-abandoned train station that sees like 20 passengers a day. I think it's really cool that Bloom highlights both the obvious congregation points, and the not so obvious.
I also found a Purple Pikmin and I named him Reggie
