A hidden treat is yours to seek!

So take one home, don’t be shy,
Before the sun dries them all dry!
April showers bring May flowers — and two brave little explorers. Cisco held the umbrella steady while Alice counted raindrops, one by one. After all, no cloud could ever dim a friendship like theirs.
Deep blue flowers cradling a big-eyed black and brown chihuahua. Small but fearless; thrives in rocky gardens.
Pink petals with turquoise tips and a smiling bull terrier face. Blooms blast a tiny celebratory "woof" at noon.
An energetic orange blossom with an eager Boston terrier center. Bobs in excitement when storms approach.
Ten pink petals shimmer around a snow-white Persian head. Found near peaceful ponds. Flowers often hum softly.
A burst of 24 violet petals around a bright orange-and-white cat face. Smells like honey and rain mixed together.
Soft white and yellow daisy with a cheerful gray tabby center. Sways gently even without wind. Said to bring lucky naps.
A six-pointed star of red and yellow petals cradles a loyal golden retriever face. Attracts happiness like a magnet.
Bright yellow-orange petals flecked with red, guarding a sly black cat face. Glows faintly at dusk. Loves warm, windy fields.
Rare orange blossoms with tough petals hiding a mischievous dog face. Thrives after heavy rainstorms. Best approached with caution (and treats).
