It's time for the Cultivation Convention in Trotlanta. Applejack's usual partner has dropped out, and her other friends aren't interested. As it turns out, though, she won't have her hotel room to herself.

Nice bit of science to unite roses and apples. Works.

This doesn't quite feel complete to me, somehow.... It's a great start, but I'd have liked to see a little something else come out of this before it ended. Maybe that's just me, though.

Very good. I wouldn't mind a contiuation of this either.

Good lil story although Applejack felt kind of out of character, having her not understand the significants of seeds seems weird to me since her family grows zap apples and were given their land because Celestia was impressed with their seeds.

She understood the significance of seeds, just not the different sorts of /flower seeds/. She's an apple farmer, not a florist.

It didn't really come off that way, at least to me. I got the impression that she didn't view seeds as special at all.

I think the author meant that she can't see the difference between these seeds and other rose seeds. Not that she can't understand that seeds can be important. But it's hard to get excited when she doesn't even know what the plant they grow into is supposed to look like at this point, other than some vague complimentary phrases from Rose.

My plan was to point out that Applejack wasn't knowledgable enough about rose seeds to understand the significance of that particular breed. I suppose I could have clarified it a bit better though.

Just because one person didn't get it doesn't make it your fault. That's their failing as a reader. Those of us who also weighed in understood it just fine.

Great story. Interesting pairing. Thumbs up and a fave.
