It almost seemed to harmonize with the yellow tone, but just on the edge, like the harmony could fall apart at any moment. Not sure how this is going; what will the red tulip add--will things come together, or fall apart? SPOILER!!: Rajesh and Lola Quote:

Hopefully she didn't mind him offering to work with her without actually asking. Tapio had been walking from one staging area to another, observing the students' progress. Blue, purple, and green--a promising combination, though the purple tulips were notoriously picky about whick colors they chose to harmonize with. Well, they'd see soon enough. "Don't forget, you need to touch each tulip with your wand to get them to trill," he commented. SPOILER!!: Brandon Quote:

He just got the sense that they should be comfortable. Then he gently touched their stems with his wand. Then, he waited. The blue tulip slowly began to trill, just barely vibrating at first but eventually turning into a deep, soothing tone with a steady rhythm. The white tulip chimed in sooner with a clear, pure tone that barely trilled; it came in somewhat above the blue's tone as they blended in a tuneful harmony in a somewhat minor key. Success! These two tulips can be planted together in the next step. SPOILER!!: Maxine Quote:

The sound of the red tulip trilled forth immediately with a rich, passionate mid-tone, and continued vibrating, as if it were just waiting for another tulip to join it. "Very good, very good so far," Tapio said as he walked around the class. "You have some classic and some more unusual combinations. As some of you have been wondering, the matching is based both on color AND meanings. Don't be afraid to experiment, and don't be discouraged if you don't get it right the first time. Matching Trilling Tulips is a notoriously tricky business, not only because there are so many things involved, but because the tulips, like many magical things, sometimes have their own ideas about which colors go together. So sometimes even colors that you think should match for sure get stubborn and refuse to harmonize. But that's why we try them out here, before planting them permanently. And remember--be sure to tap the tulips to get them to trill." [OOC: This is great, keep going--you have another day or two to test the colors. Try to get at least 2 colors matching and ready to plant (but don't worry--points don't depend on success in this, just how well/interestingly your student tries)
