Sunday Weekly HSBI and DUO Token Giveaway, Week 60!
It's Sunday again, that came fast! That mean it's time for another giveaway post. This will be the 60th week of this fun, weekly event. I have seen a lot of growth over the last year every Sunday after Sunday. As a result I've added in extra prized to increase the odds that everyone who participates will win something every now and again. This week we only had 34 participants, down from the 40+ a couple weeks back, which makes last week's participants odds of winning a little higher!
This week I will add a one time only prize to the fourth place spin (not the fourth bonus one though.) Today the lucky winner will get the usual 100 BBH and one UNICOIN from my personal stack. This is a new project by @cryptounicorn420 that is still in testing stages but should be live soon. Delegating HP allows you to tip others and receive one in return. Once you collect a full UNICOIN it will be tradeable for an HSBI unit. For more info check out @uni-coin !
And as always I will give out some of my DUO coins, some of my BBH coins which is a project by @bradleyarrow , and some of my CCD coins which is a project run by @powerpaul and his @cryptocompany !
Last week question was about your favorite morning beverage, so lets go over some of those results before posting the next entry question.
Coffee
hemargaritaqueen.blogspot.com
Not surprisingly the winner by a long shot. It's my favorite as well, especially a nice dark roast without cream or sugar. I love the complex taste of good coffee! We did have a few categories in preferences, those who like coffee black included: @monsterbuster , @beelzael , @gatet and @geneeverett
Black coffee with sugar: @ekavieka
Americano: @dewabrata
Coffee with milk: @borniet and @bitandi
Hot latte: @silvertop
And unspecified preferences of coffee: @henruc , @ladyaryastark , @ladymisa , @geneeverett , @sylmarill , @tengolotodo , @okarun and @longganisan .
Water
iaspaper.net
Believe it or not the second in line was simple H2O, water. This was the pick of @olaf.gui , @angeluxx , @mytechtrail and @gwajnberg . Less caffeine and easier on the stomach!
Tea
wisegeek.com
Ok, honestly probably more picked than water, but there were so many varieties I miscounted. @melinda010100 enjoys strong black tea which I like too! English Breakfast was the favorite of @ronnie10 , which always has a nice bright flavor to it. We also had green tea picked by @middle-earthling . Peach tea by @neblomax . Black or green tea with fruit flavor by @flummi97 . @jmis101 has a special preparation for her "tea", but in the form of dry full cream milk, chocolate, and ginger flour.
Also chamomile tea with honey was the favorite @ckjcn22 , not exactly tea but close enough I'll include it here to finish off!
Orange Juice
insanelygoodrecipes.com
Orange juice was popular with two participants. It's good for you and has lots of vitamin C. I love fresh squeezed orange juice, nothing quite like! Thanks to @florakese and @tortangkahoy for this recommendation!
Milk
medicalnewstoday.com
A nice healthy glass of mild was picked by two participants. Both regular and chocolate. Than to @hatdogsensei and @lumpiadobo . Great choice!
Mate
spaanstaligewereld.nl
Yerba Mate are leaves that are rich in caffeine and a very popular beverage across southern South America. It is really good, although it is a little expensive to buy here in the US. Normally it is prepared in hot water and you use a metal filtering straw to drink it. If you haven't tried it, it's good stuff if you ever get the chance! Thanks to @bigorna1 for this recommendation!
Fruit Kefir
cuisine.journaldesfemmes.fr
This one I have to admit is new to me. It's the favorite of @servelle and even provides us a recipe in a post. It's a fermented fruit drink that is said to be good for the immune system. I want to give a try here at some point, but will need to buy the right bottles first! Check out the post if you're interested:

Thanks @servelle !
Now moving onto the question for this week's entry.
What is your favorite kind of flower?
The Giveaway
I will be giving out one prize of five (5) HSBI. Second and Third prizes 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. Fourth prize is 100 BBH tokens. Fifth prize will be 250 CCD tokens. 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.
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.

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: What is your favorite kind of flower?
HSBI

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 and third prize will be two DUO tokens. Fourth prize will be 100 BBH tokens. Fifth prize will be 250 CCD tokens. 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 May 11, 2025 at 8 A.M. California Pacific Time.
Now to choose last week's lucky winners!

Favorite flower? 🌹
I don’t really have one but as a kid I thought blue roses were cool cause I had seen red & pink and thought blue were super rare and just thought the blue color was cool.
Only problem is their fake, they're died blue (bastards.) The closest they've come to genetically producing a true blue rose is the suntory blue rose:
that's from Wikipedia.org
People are still trying, it would be cool if they could make one truly blue or black!
Wikipedia is bogus. I’ve seen blue ones in the ground brother. Unless my memory fails me 🤣 eh I’d bet on Wikipedia 🤣
Congrats to the winners!
My favorite flower is Nymphaea / Water lily
I love water lilies too, just such pretty flowers!
!BBH
My favorite flowers are and always will be Orchids. They are beautiful, unique and comes in a wide variety of colors and shapes.
They are gorgeous flowers aren't they? I've never grown them before but it looks like a fun challenge!
!BBH
My grandma had a couple orchids on her garden and they are very delicate, but I think they aren't that difficult to take care of.
I'm back in the game and happy to take part.
That's an easy question this time; it's 🌻
Altough there are so many beauties like orchids, roses and tulips my favorite is sunflower
!ALIVE

My favorite flower is Bird of paradise. It’s hard to get from most florists, you have to typically order them in advance.
They are pretty, I have a neighbor who grows some in her yard, I've never tried to grow them myself!
I won two DUO! You made my day. That makes the two I purchased today half price and brings me that much closer to my next DUO goal! Thank you!
My favorite flower is probably lilacs.
I adore the smell and it's lilac season in Wisconsin right now.
You ended up with the two for one special with that win! lol I love the smell of lilacs, my mother had some in her yard for years as did my grandmother. Don't they smell great?
I don't like flowers. If I have to choose, I will go with my mom fav which is Orchid
Orchids are beautiful and can be hard to grow. I've never any though!

Awesome thanks for the 250 CCD tokens!🤗
Favorite flower………
So many to choose from, I will go with Marigolds simply because you can deadhead them and they bloom all summer long!😊
Very nice planted along the sidewalks for color for the summer months!👍
Marigolds are classics aren't they? Very pretty and grow pretty much anywhere!
Even at 8000 feet in Colorado they bloom all Summer long!😎👍😊
I am in!!! My favourite flower is sunflower of course 🤭. But I Aldo like of every little wild flower, the simpliest ones
I love them too, such awesome flowers. I know you like them too!

I’ll go for Lillies as that was a favourite with our family.
Lilies are pretty flowers! Funny how families have a flower that's always the favorite. Sunflower from my family!

Wooow I won! Nice! To keep it going, I'll send 5 HSBI as well to 5 other participants who haven't won anything. I don't know how this spinning wheel thing works, so I'll just go by instinct :-D
My favorite flower is "La flor de un día" aka Tigridia Pavonia - I have a lot of them in my garden, they just grow sporadically everywhere.
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigridia_pavonia
I only love it best because it grows in my garden. But there are so many beautiful ones - artichoke blossoms blew my mind, so did Granadilla-flowers.
That's nice of you! It's always good to give here on Hive, that's why I keep this post going every week!
That is a pretty flower, I've seen them before in South America but didn't know what they were called. That's a great plant to keep in your garden! Found the picture on Wikipedia.org!

I had a ton of pictures of mine, they're red and orange. But I guess I deleted them in the last make-space session. I'll see if one blooms this week, but I doubt it, it's raining too much!
Said and done. Have a good night and thank you for your content!
I don't have a favorite flower, but I love to look at Orchids. It just gives me vibes that it came from another planet. I really love appreciating its uniqueness compared to other flowers
Here's a photo of the flower of an orchid of our family friend. It looked like an insect.
Tulips for speculation !LOLZ

great to also have !UNI as a price! ;D
I really like the twin trumpet like flowers of the honeysuckle. love the fragrance and brings me many nice childhood memories.
rose
Congratulations to all the contestants, and congratulations to all the winners.
I have many favorite flowers, some are orchids, another is the desert rose, but I also have my favorite and favorite as the Sunflower, and I have even grown it in the hallway before entering my apartment in a pot.
Congrats to all the winners, it seems that there are so many coffee drinkers here. ;)
my favorite flower is orchid.

Never heard of Mate before so that is something to look out for!
I never thought how to specify how I like my coffee! Generally it is with milk. Although when I lived in Spain, and when I was part of the tsu platform my coffee and beer combination got dubbed the tengolotodo🤣
Favourite flower now that really is a tough one. I am a houseplant person, and Mrs T many many years commented that she did not like receiving flowers as they died whereas a houseplant keeps on living. So whenever I see a discounted houseplant I will buy it for her as I am sure you have seen in some of my blogs.
I think tulips are gorgeous as are big daffodils.. but today I am going to say a blue orchid flower...
This is one I rescued!
Blue is my colour and that one got me brownie points too!
Have a great new week my friend
The orchids have a beautiful color and a unique tone that makes me see how beautiful plants and life are.
My favourite flower is sunflower
Thank you for the prize!
I like the almond blossoms. They create a very beautiful effect when there are many almond trees together in blossom.
The black Dahlia, just to be different obviously
Thanks for the award. My DUO pile keeps growing.
Although it may seem a little strange, my favorite flower is the broad bean. When I ran around my grandfather's garden, I was always fascinated by them, and now I have the same feeling in mine.
