Ten HSBI and Two DUO Token Giveaway Week 22!

avatar

Welcome back to my Sunday 10 HSBI giveaway. Every Sunday I've been at this for 22 weeks now! It's been a great week for me, good weather, not too much stress, and had some decent earnings here on Hive. I hope you all had a great week as well.

This past week I asked participants in the giveaway to share what their favorite toy was growing up. There were a lot of interesting answers. Two answered LEGOs, which is awesome! I still love LEGOs and buy them at thrift shops for resale. There is a lot of demand for them as well as other aging toys. I'll have to do another toy post here in the next few days!

A couple other responses were a Huffy bike, a kids ticket to freedom back in the olden days. I still remember riding all over with my friends when I was young, but we lived in a fairly rural area. Kids today just don't get the same freedom you could have growing up before the 2000's... It's really kind of sad!

Well, onto to today's contest!

Since it's summer there are flowers everywhere. Living in southern California there are flowers most of the year, but not like in summer (or the tropics.) That got me thinking for the question of the week.

Today's question: What are personal favorite flowers?

Mine have always been sunflower because my mom always planted them all over the yard. They bring back great memories for me. Here are a couple I came across last year in a town in a desert area not too far from here. The desert is actually very close to here, just over the mountains to the east, but the traffic makes it feel like another state....

The Giveaway

I will be giving out two prizes of five (5) HSBI. Third prize will be 2 DUO tokens, the token I recently launched with @bulliontools and @bitcoinman . It offers those who stake sufficient tokens daily curation on quality posts, dividends, and a tipping bot. It also helps to onboard and retain new Hive members. At the end of the post there is a link to the white paper and where to purchase the tokens. There will also be one legendary Splinterlands card as a fourth prize. If you don't play Splinterlands just let me know and I'll send you an HSBI instead. To participate you need a reputation level of at least 25 and bots cannot win. And please one entry per person to make it fair to everyone.

Legendary Splinterlands card up for grabs this next week:


Djinn Oshannus, he's still up for grabs, no recent winners have chosen him so he's still here!

If you would like to be placed on a weekly reminder list just let me know and I'll make sure you get tagged each week. The list so far is rather short:

@hiveborgminer
@kungfukid
@stekene
@elizabethbit

How to Enter

Every week this will change. I'm looking for engagement rather than just saying "I am in". There is no need to upvote or re-blog, although if you choose to do so I would appreciate it. This week's question is an easy one: What is your personal favorite flower?

HSBI

If you are unfamiliar with the prize you can learn more here:

Choosing the Winners

All valid entries will be placed on the Wheel of Names and I will spin it four times. The first prize will be 5 HSBI units. The second prize will be another 5 HSBI units. And the third prize will be two DUO tokens. Fourth prize is a legendary Splinterlands card or one HSBI unit! And since I am spinning the same wheel four times in a row it is theoretically possible for the same person to win all four prizes! Although I have yet to see it happen, maybe this week?

Deadline

One week from today which will be Sunday August 18, 2024 at 12 PM California Pacific Time.

Now to choose last week's lucky winners!

And the first spin!

Congratulations @kungfukid you have won 5 HSBI units!

And the second spin!

Congratulations @khantaimur you have won 5 HSBI units!

And the third spin!

Congratulations @gwajnberg you have won 2 DUO tokens!

Last but not least, the fourth spin

Congratulations @lolodens , you have won your choice of one HSBI unit or the Djinn Oshannus Splinterlands card. Just let me know what you prefer and I'll send it right over!

That will just about wrap up the contest for this Sunday. Congratulations to the winners! I want to thank everyone for their support, without it I wouldn't be able to give out these prizes to help fellow Hive members. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to leave them below. Have a great remainder of the weekend!

And since I am posting this in the #freecompliments community, I just want to remind everyone to take a few minutes to be kind today. Your kindness can make a big difference in someone's life!

Goodness me, finally, my name got spanned. Let's see when it happens there, @bitcoinman :)

Thank you for the Hsbi.

Well, the question is straightforward. My favorite flower is Jasmine. Its fragrance is always soothing. I love them to be in my room, mostly.

10 HSBI is a nice prize 😎
But duo tokens would be nice too. It's at least 1% of the tokens needed to participate
However, I guess it's sunflowers I like most. Especially in summer I like watching sunflower fields

I love giving out the HSBI, it really helps people to grown their accounts. I remember when I started giving them away I had 11 units total, about a year later I have close to 2500!

We're real proud of DUO, it's doing awesome and has been growing faster than we anticipated. I've found that even small giveaways help get the word out!

Sunflowers are beautiful though. I'm glad I found that picture in my phone still, I wasn't sure if I had kept it!

A picture I made earlier today. Sunflowers are the favorite flowers of my girlfriend. Mine are definitely roses, more in particular the red ones.

Congrats to the winners. Some really neat building rewards 😊

I'm with you on sunflowers, my favorite as well. Thinking of which I need some seeds, haha. We have some great big fields of them in the Dakotas.

They really are awesome. Ukraine used to grow more than anyone in the world with a major export of sunflower oil. It's been years since I've been to the Dakotas, it must be beautiful to see fields of sunflowers there!

Hard to say a favorite flower. I like looking at flowers and their colors but I'm not one to take care of them and know about them. I do like Roses because they can have many possible beautiful colors.

Roses are an amazing breed. So many variants and all are beautiful. I know Rose farms are a huge industry in Colombia, they have some giant fields full of them that they ship off by plane to floral shops around the world!

Marigolds!😊
These are the best because they bloom all summer long, as long as you “deadhead “ the old blossoms as they wilt!😊
Never ending color !🤗

Thanks a lot, I pick the Djinn Oshannus pls. :)

My favorite flower is the hibiscus. I have this in our backyard; it's not high-maintenance and it always blooms all year round. The best part is that you can also make it into a tea that you can drink.

I confess, that I have many flowers that I like and could call a favorite. However, among all of them, there is one that gets me excited when I see it. That flower is Digitalis, also known as Foxglove.

The flowers call me (and every bee in the area)! I just want to gather them all up and hold them. However, they are also a heart stimulant, so maybe that's not such a good idea! Back in the day (1800's or so) it was utilized as heart medicine. They come in pink, white, salmon peach, and almost purple. There might be more colors, but these are the ones I've seen in my neck of the woods.

Foxglove is beautiful, just as long as you don't have a dog who likes to snack on flowers! They produce a life saving medication and are pretty too!

They are indeed! I have this almost overwhelming desire to take an armload of them and just hold them, but my understanding is that it can possibly transfer through the skin, so I don't.......but I want to!

Take care! !LADY
