1988: Brush 'n' Grow Ponies

BOUQUET

White unicorn pony with yellow, pale pink, blue and red-orange mane and tail, red and blue hat symbol.

The first thing that I must strongly emphasise is that, pretty as my Bouquet's hair is, her pink streak has faded completely to white. The second streak of hair SHOULD be a nice pink colour.

The next thing to discuss is that symbol. Many collectors still wonder about the hat versus the floral name, because in a lot of ways it really doesn't make a lot of practical sense. However, there were creative thinkers in the world of backcard story and comic story production - and so the hat is fully explained by a combination of the two.

Bouquet, it was written, had a special magic hat on which she could fly with the help of her unicorn magic. It was such a special hat that it could support not only her weight but weight of other ponies too - and she could often be found flying around Ponyland.

And if you believe that, you'll believe anything ^_^.
