Stop by Iridessa's Glade in Sunflower Gully and ask her if she has any quests. If you have completed Playing Talent Games, the quest should pop up immediately and you'll be able to begin. Upon starting the quest, Dessa will greet you:

Iridessa: "Pixie Name Here! I've been wondering when you'd come by! Isn't my sunflower field looking just so -- so -- sunshiny?"
"Oh! I have a surprise for you! Stay right there -- don’t move, just watch!"
"Add a touch of yellow, and... oh no!"
"I don’t believe this. I do NOT believe this! I was going to make you a rainbow, but I’ve run out of colors!"
"Sometimes light-talents get Color Drain if we make too many rainbows in a really short time. I’ve been practicing a lot for your rainbow -- I guess I got drained!"
"I know what to do, though. Would you mind helping me?"

Editor’s Note: The original text of this quest included these lines of dialogue, which were changed.
"Pixie Name Here! Hi! I’ve been wondering when you’d get a chance to visit again."

Iridessa: "Shimmerific! I need to fill myself up with the three primary colors of light. Those are blue, green and red."
"Let’s start with blue. Can you get me some Blueberries?"

Gather 15 Blueberries and bring them to Iridessa's Glade in Sunflower Gully.

Step 2

Iridessa: "Excellent! Now we need to peel one. Blueberry peels are really thin, so getting them off in one piece is tricky. I can’t do it, but Tinker Bell can!"
"Take the Blueberries to her and ask if she can peel one. She might need the extras in case the peel tears while coming off."

Fly to Tinker's Nook! You can get there from Cottonpuff Field.
