Rooftop Growth: | Description |
---|---|
1 - Singular Cuttings | The entry [...] is short and inconsistent. [...] each specimen is [...] idiosyncratic. [...] there are some commonalities. You chosen project [...] thrives in the shade and grows better if tended to by a 'person of unusual talent'. No gloss is offered for this latter descriptor. |
2 - 'Dawn-Yodeller' Mandrakes | The entry [...] is long, and concerned largely with how to get the bl__dy things to shut up. You chosen project seems to be a plant that thrives in direct sunlight, specifically bred after the Fall to function as a replacement for the dawn chorus. |
3 - Prize-Winning Peppercaps | The entry for Prize-Winning Peppercaps has been annotated by the owner. 'Do they become a different species if they fail to win a prize?' You chosen project seems to be a fungus that thrives in complete darkness. [...] seems to be very competitive. |
4 - Recusant Marigolds | Where the page concerning Recusant Marigolds should be, there is instead a paper-thin sheet of glass. [...] – there are words etched upon it. You chosen project seems to be a plant that thrives in the shade and flourishes around the white walls of Hell. |
5 - False-Cantigaster Hybrids | The entry [...] has been heavily redacted by at least three Ministries, as well as the Department for Parks and Game. [...] You chosen project seems to be a fungus that thrives in the shade. That's not the only reason to keep them in the shadows – they are [...] illegal. |
6 - Millennium Roses | There is no entry for Millennium Roses[...], just a handwritten scrap of paper folded into the back cover. 'From the Continent – a myth?' [...] You chosen project seems to be a plant that thrives in direct sunlight, if it is not simply an elaborate hoax. |
7 - Tomorrowspore Ortcaps | The entry on Ortcaps is riddled with spelling errors, and – atypically – dated. It must be an error; that date hasn't happened yet. You [...] project seems to be a fungus that thrives in complete darkness and feeds on the stray memories of its caretakers. |

Description summary:
The first paragraph is the same as the regular success. The second paragraph depends on if you have Cryptobotanical Rosette.
Have it? | Description |
---|---|
No | Back out the window once you're done. You notice a verdant green rosette, framed on the wall in pride of place. The owner here must be a fierce botanist. |
Yes | You notice a familiar rosette framed on the wall as you leave – the owner is a fellow champion of the Tournament of Lilies! |
