After my very first attempt planting flowers and only catching a couple butterflies successfully, I knew this event was going to be a pain in the derriere and didn't bother trying. None of the rewards were that great imo, not worth the struggle. Also, why a butterfly event in the middle of winter? Everything just spells disappointment. I'm much more happy with the winter sports event.
I don't blame you for skipping it, but I think it's the cutest furniture released so far, and thanks to generous friends, I was able to complete it without spending a single leaf ticket.
