Blooming Flora Clutch -- 16 eggs, with 1 queen
Sunflower Egg – Obviously the queen of the clutch, the sunflower egg is a glorious piece of work. When not in Aslath’s protective claws, this egg stands proudly in the center of the clutch, radiating the aura of one that is proud and mighty. Oddly enough, when girls flock her egg, she lets them remain for a short while, then urges them to other eggs to give them all a fair chance. She knows how jealous some of her siblings might be, and doesn't want them to be left out. The shell is a soft shade of gold, slightly more metallic than the color of the petals of a sunflower. However, speckled along this smooth piece of work are little brown speckles, making it appear almost cute. A good size for a queen, she is neither tall nor short, keeping the tip of her egg above the others, but doesn’t loom over them. Perhaps this is a good omen for the Weyr, with a queen egg that doesn’t appear too dominating, but then again, looks can be deceiving…
Birch Egg – As glittering as the queen egg, this egg might have proven to be competition—if it had been gold, anyway. Rather, this egg is a glowing silver shade, trying to compete for attention with its golden sister. This egg is just as shiny, just as metallic, and just as beautiful. It doesn’t seem to understand why people are attracted more to the big ugly gold egg. Obviously, this small, beautiful silver egg would be the better choice! It absolutely cannot stand how the gold is stealing the attention away from itself. Therefore, it sends lots of warm emotions toward anyone who tries feeling this egg. However, if it feels that it has touched the Sunflower Egg, it won’t send a single warm emotion towards it. Anyone who has touched that stupid gold egg is a traitor, the the Birch Egg wants nothing to do with someone who is shallow enough to pick the queen egg over itself.
Poison Ivy Egg – Undeniably bizarre, this poor little egg doesn’t mind attention in the slightest. Unfortunately, people just don’t seem to be attracted to it. Not only because its light green shell is unremarkable, but this small egg holds some odd powdery substance (though unnoticeable) on the shell that must have been born with it. Whenever a curious candidate touches the shell and the undetectable powder, they find that the hand that touched it suddenly itches as though it is on fire. The powder is unknown, so people probably will need to be treated by the healer if they touch the Poison Ivy Egg. But to anyone who does, even though their hands will itch for days afterward (and turn red, or maybe even get blisters), they will receive undying devotion from this sad little egg.
Daisy Egg – Among the larger eggs of this clutch, this egg tends to stick to the middle, near the Sunflower Egg. It seems almost protective of its queen, hovering so close by. However, it certainly won’t deny any attention it receives. It seems to bask in the attention. In fact, unless it receives attention, this egg always seems to be anxious, so anyone who touches it will get a warm, welcoming sensation in their fingertips. The coloring of this egg is quite pretty to look at, as well, perhaps an aid to attraction. The background is a solid blue shade, the color bright and vivid. However, placed evenly throughout the shell are white circles of varying size, and inside the white circles are even smaller, yellow circles. These lovely dots are very appealing to the eye, attracting many to this egg.
Pansy Egg – Petite and bright, the Pansy Egg also has a sweet disposition that beckons many gentle souls to it. It seems to prefer males to females, but gives everyone who touches it equal love. One automatically feels this love when they brush it with their fingertips, and even the loneliest candidate will get attached to this egg. The color of the egg is gently bright. It is a soft yellow, but on the tip of this egg is a splotch of brown. But also in this egg is an odd, hidden sense of insecurity. Even though it spreads its love to anyone, it also seems unsure that what it is doing is the right thing… Yet it ignores that feeling for the most part, determinedly spreading the love.
Lilypad Egg – Halfway buried in sand, one might think that this egg is small, but it isn’t necessarily so. It is a medium sized egg, with a base coat of a deep green shade. However, most people don’t see the majority of the green. Rather, they mostly see the tip of this egg, which is a beautiful shade of a pink so light that it could look white. Naturally, as this egg is mostly hidden, it contains a certain air of mystery, luring for some, yet repulsive for others. If people like to know how eggs feel toward them, this is not one to comfort them. It betrays no emotion, nor works to attract any particular kind of person. This egg simply exists, buried in sand, being either secretly devious or bored with the options it has. Only time will tell what this egg truly feels.
Honeysuckle Egg – Though the color of this egg isn’t very bright, the sheer determination it radiates is both eye-catching and amusing. It is a medium sized egg, sitting boldly close to the queen egg, which definitely makes it obvious that this egg isn’t at all shy about being near authority. However, it doesn’t seem to be pushy, even when it is up front. It is gentle, appearing to be similar to a good-hearted leader. It wants absolutely everyone to come touch it, and would never give any negative emotions to anyone. Its shell also shows the peaceful happiness, with the surface being different shades of a light purple. The color almost looks like they were smeared on with fingerpaint, for it looks messy and the shades are uneven. This egg is surely a favorite among every candidate, and undoubtedly holds a dragon that could easily match with anyone.
Rose Egg - Rapid brushings of color paint the shell of this egg as though dozens of fabrics were wound neatly around it, twisting and overlapping until the color is best described as red. Near the bottom and the top are lighter hues, as pink as the sky at dawn. The shades of pink bleed into a white with an almost pink sheen, visible only when available light reflects from the egg, and at the very center of the egg is the darkest, most rich shade of red imaginable, darker than blood, darker than fine wine. At first inspection the egg looks as if it might have a velvety texture, with different bumps where the colors blur together, but this is not the case - the egg is smooth from top to bottom, and surprisingly firm. To the touch, it may seem as if there is no dragonet within, and this egg is likely to leave anyone who touches it yawning and wanting to curl up and sleep somewhere - perhaps from boredom or something else entirely. As far as size goes, it's one of the smaller eggs in the clutch, though thanks to the vibrant shades of scarlet that make up the outer shell, it is near impossible for anyone to overlook.
Forget-Me-Not Egg -- Small in size and oddly round, this egg is almost startling in color. From the palest blues near the top to almost blue violet shapes that seem to cluster into darker-and-lighter spots, there is no denying that this is a pretty egg. The very top of the egg has a bright yellow color, like the sun at dawn, at the center of which is a dark, brown-black spot that marks the very tip-top of the shell. There are white 'veins' spaced across the otherwise unbroken shades of blue, seeming to give it a more complex coloration. On closer examination, it appears there are yellow spots at the center of the lighter spots that cover the egg, like a miniature version of the large one at the very top of the egg. To the touch this egg appears almost velvety-soft, like rubbing one's hand over fabric, but there is very little warmth; in fact, unlike some eggs, the only feeling that seems to come from this one is an intense sensation of detachment and disinterest. The dragonet within this egg is clearly one cool customer, detached from its feelings; analytical in the way it judges whoever so happens to touch its egg.
Tulip Egg – The Tulip Egg is large in size, clearly housing one of the larger dragons of the clutch. It stands in the inner ring of large eggs, beside the Sunflower Egg and Daisy Egg. However, it is not nearly as confident as the other eggs around it. It always seems nervous, unsure if the place where it lies is the right place to be. It is a dark green at the base of the shell, but it changes into a vivid pink towards the top, blooming from the green bottom. The colors label this egg as a very welcoming one, for it truly is a sweet young egg. Nevertheless, the bold are likely to avoid touching this egg, for the nervousness it radiates isn’t attractive to them. But those who lack confidence will be at home with the Tulip Egg, and might serve as a support for it, and receive love in return.
Venus Fly Trap Egg -- As though some invisible force came and brushed this egg with a thousand feathers, the surface is various hues of green from lime to the color of trailing ivy. Nearly white jolts of light green spread like tiny fangs from the top of the egg toward the bottom, and then from the bottom of the egg toward the top, in a ring around the very center of the egg. Though the markings can appear intimidating, the pale splash of rose-red near the center adds a warmth to this otherwise plain egg's appearance. Small in size, the egg is firm to the touch, though the center is rigid enough that someone who isn't careful might scrape their fingers upon touching it. Perhaps as a direct contrast to its appearance, the dragonet within this egg is warm, friendly and excitable, reaching out to any and everyone who happens to be bold enough to touch its egg. Definitely a friendly dragonet within, with a curious streak a mile wide. No one can say that touching this egg is boring, and it is likely to be quite unforgettable to those who are brave enough to approach it. Which is good, really, since, given the appearance, there may not be many people brave enough to give this egg a try.
Buttercup Egg -- If it was possible to blind with color, this egg would do it. Shockingly yellow, from a vibrant shade on par with the sky at high noon, to a pale shade not unlike blond hair, to other shades that vaguely resemble dust of painting, there is no denying that this egg is - simply put - bright. No other colors break the otherwise perfect yellow hues, and there is no texture or pattern. This egg literally looks as though someone dropped it into a vat of yellow paint, spun it, and waited for it to dry. Shaped surprisingly oval, it is small in size, and to the touch it has a very soft, silky texture, smooth and neat. From the cheery coloration of its shell to the smooth texture, it is likely to attract a lot of visitors -- so it's a good thing that the dragonet within is of an amiable nature, very warm in demeanor and easy going. But don't insult it or its egg near by, or you might accidentally find that it has a shocking disposition. Just because this dragonet is laid back and calm doesn't mean it will take it when others insult it, and insults aren't limited to the obvious.
Lady Slipper Egg – Graceful and serene are two words that can describe this egg. Hidden off to the side, it isn’t the most noticeable egg, but it is certainly attractive to those who do take the time to admire it. It’s a light pink, gentle to the eyes and comfortable to admire. One might expect it to feel silky and soft beneath their fingertips, almost like a real flower petal. It emanates feelings of peace and of a quiet confidence, a good combination of feelings to a dragon egg. Some may consider that all of these positive attributes mean that this egg is absolutely perfect in every way, but is it really? After all, most things usually have some sort of little imperfection, and this egg, undoubtedly, would be among the imperfect, despite this front it is giving out. Nonetheless, people can enjoy it while they can.
Thistle Egg – The largest of the clutch only beneath the queen egg, it gives off the vibe of being naturally charismatic. It lazily sits off toward the edge of the clutch, very well aware that people will flock it without needing to do anything to gain extra attention. The color itself is not spectacular—the shell being made up of different hues of gray—but there is just something about this egg that attracts everyone. The different shades of this shell range from everything, from soft, light grays to cold, dark metallic slate. They seem almost smeared onto the egg like fingerpaints, peculiar Impressionistic artwork making up this calm egg. It seems to not mind the fact that its queen sister is getting more attention than it-- this egg will get even better attention than the queen would get from those shallow girls.
Iris Egg – A bright purple, this small egg is vibrant and attractive. One would think that such beautiful egg would emanate pleasing vibes, but once one places their hands on this egg, they are met with quite a surprise. This egg is, to say the least, sulky. It sits on the outskirts of the clutch, simply trying to grab attention from candidates. This egg is begging for attention, wanting everyone to notice how miserable it is. It wants to be comforted by everyone, but it would never be appeased. It hates attention being on anything else except itself. It is also curious to note that this egg is sitting up very straight, pointing perfectly to the sky. Its shell is also not marred by any imperfection. So why is it complaining? It has no reason to, but it is perhaps one of the most bitter eggs of the clutch.
Dandelion Egg - Fluffy. This egg simply looks fluffy, as though to touch it would be similar to running one's fingers over finely cleaned fur, or perhaps the smoothest of fabric. The color is hard to make out exactly, because while there appears to be a central brown 'core', the egg is covered in what appears to be fuzzy white spots, with only the smallest amount of space between them to reveal the brown in between. Only at the bottom of the egg is there any readily recognizable color, a rich green that seems to spread out and cup the egg into place. The egg is also very small in size, and looks as though it would blow away at the first gust of wind. Despite its appearance, the texture of this egg is not fluffy or soft at all, but smooth and decidedly more sturdy. The dragonet within is as disarming as its appearance, a very gentle dragonet with a sense of curiosity that does not quite over-ride its unending desire to be exactly what the person touching the egg needs or wants most from it.
