The deadline is almost upon us, which means that there's now one day left to finish your work(s)! Technically, that is, because I'll throw in the same "surprise" mini-extension as I always do, and keep the collection open for submissions until roughly an hour before reveals (which will happen at 00.01 GMT on the 24th). Also, if you're posting your work somewhere else, don't forget to give me the link so that I can include it in the roundup post.

Good luck to everyone who's still working, and thank you for taking part! ♥

Hi there, and welcome to Seven Wildflowers!

This is a low-pressure challenge that works in the following way: When you sign up you'll receive the name of a wildflower. You then have to take inspiration from it in some way — the name itself, the look and color of the plant, its history or uses, etc. — and create a work of any type. (And, if you'd like, mention which flower you got in the notes when you post your work.)

If the wildflower you receive doesn't do anything for you, just ask for another! You can also ask for multiple names if you'd like to create more than one work.

The deadline to submit your works to the AO3 collection is at 23.59 GMT on the 22nd of June. It will go live at 00.01 GMT on the 24th of June, Midsummer, where tradition dictates the picking of seven different kinds of wildflowers to then be placed under your pillow, in order to dream about your future true love.

Please see the FAQ for more information, and don't hesitate to ask if anything is unclear!
