In Depth Quest Guide
This is a full walk through for the quest, so if you're confused by any of the quick steps, hopefully these can help you out.
Head over to Rosetta's Garden in Cherryblossom Heights and ask her if she has any quests. If you have finished the quest Spring-Up Stuff, the quest should appear in the list of quests you may do and you can begin the quest immediately. Upon starting the quest, Rosetta will greet you:
Rosetta: "Guess what, Pixie Name Here? After all your hard work coaching me for the staring contest, I DIDN'T WIN! Can you believe it? Lily won!"
"Of course, Lily can out-stare an oak tree, so I suppose she deserved to win. So you know what I did? I challenged her and Iris to a flappin' contest!"
"You don't know about Pollen Flapping, do you? Okay, one of the things we garden-talents do is spread pollen where it's needed. We do that by Pollen Flapping."
"It's a special sort of flying where we flap our wings real hard but don't go anywhere -- we just spread pollen around."
"If I'm gonna win this contest, I need some serious Flap Training. I'd like you to be my coach again -- my Flap Coach! How about it, sugar?"
Step 1
Accept this Quest?Once you agree, Rosetta is thrilled and gives you the first step.
Rosetta: "Plant-astic! I knew I could count on you!"
"The first thing to do is fly against a real tricky wind. That's a guaranteed wing strengthening exercise!"
"Let’s try Blustery Brush. The wind is always a bit fiddly up there. An’ we can catch snowflakes for the Minister of Winter, too!"
"The wind blows pretty hard up in Blustery Brush, so let's go there and play Snowflake Sweep, okay?"
Fly to Evergreen Overlook. Earn 10,000 points playing Snowflake Sweep. Return to Rosetta's Garden in Cherryblossom Heights when you are done!
Progress: # of 10,000
Story So Far

Rosetta: "Phew! I caught a lot of snowflakes, too, sugarplum! My wings need a rest. While I relax a bit, can I ask a favor?"
"For the contest, I want to wear a top that will let my wings move as quick as possible."
"How about making me a top from Bobbin's Tailoring Nook, sugar? Any style will do as long as you dye it Candy Blue!"
Fly to Bobbin's Tailoring Nook in Springtime Orchard. Use Personal Tailoring to make any top you like. Use Candy Blue Dye from Daisy's Dyes in Cherryblossom Heights. Fly to Rosetta's Garden in Cherryblossom Heights and give this item to Rosetta when you are done!

Rosetta is training for a Flapping Contest, and you are her Flap Coach. Go tailor her any top you like in Candy Blue at Bobbin’s Tailoring Nook!
The first thing you need to do for this step of the quest is to see if you own a Bottle of Candy Blue Dye. If not, fly on over to the other side of Cherryblossom Heights and purchase one from Daisy's Dyes. When you have your bottle of dye, head over to Bobbin's Tailoring Nook in Springtime Orchard. Choose Personal Tailoring and make a top. It doesn't matter which one you make as long as you use your Candy Blue Dye. Just make sure you have the ingredients required for the pattern you select. Once you finish tailoring, return to Rosetta.
Editor’s Note: Originally, this step required you to use Hydrangea Blue Dye instead of Candy Blue.
The original text of this quest was also changed.
"Phew! That was some workout, sugarplum! My wings need a good rest! While I relax a bit, can I ask a favor?"
"You know those tops over at Bobbin's Tailoring Nook? That's what I'm lookin' for. Would you make me one, sugar? Any style will do if you dye it Hydrangea Blue!"
Step 3
I tailored a top for Rosetta!Rosetta: "My, that's nice! And it's perfect for strong wing work. Thanks, sugar!"
"It's time for another exercise. If I can flap my wings hard enough to make something light, like a Sunflower Seed, float up Havendish Stream..."
"Yes, that would make a flaptastic workout! Hey, Flap Coach, go gather me a few Sunflower Seeds!"
Gather 20 Sunflower Seeds and bring them to Rosetta's Garden in Cherryblossom Heights.
Progress: # of 20

Step 4
I have Sunflower Seeds for Rosetta!Rosetta: "Thanks, sugar! I'll head to Havendish Stream right away to do my exercise. While I'm flapping, can you get my next exercise ready?"
"I asked Vidia if I could borrow her palm frond fan. It makes a good strong wind. I can work my wings flapping against it!"
"But you know Vidia -- she wants a big bunch of Buttercup Petals in exchange. I have NO idea what for, she wouldn't tell me."
"Anyhow, can you gather some Buttercup Petals for her?"
Gather 25 Buttercup Petals and bring them to Rosetta's Garden in Cherryblossom Heights.

"Anyhow, can you go find them?"''
Step 5
I have Buttercup Petals for Rosetta!Rosetta: "Moon and stars, I flapped those Sunflower Seeds all the way upstream to the Pixie Dust Tree! Pretty good, don't ya think?"
"Thanks for gathering these Buttercup Petals. I'll go borrow Vidia’s fan and then do more flapping!"
"In the meantime, fly to Treetop Housewares and get a Crocus Bulb Pitcher. I’ll use it to wash the pollen dust out of my eyes!"

Rosetta: "Terrific, sugarplum."

"Oh, wait! How about you visit Silvermist and see if she has any Wing Relaxer. When the contest is over, I'm gonna need it!"
Fly to Silvermist's Grotto! You can get there from Dewdrop Vale.

Step 7
I’m here to see Silvermist!Silvermist: "Hi, raindrop! I heard you're Rosetta's Flap Coach. Hee hee! I knew she wouldn't sit still after Lily won the staring contest. So how can I help?"
"Of course she can have some Wing Relaxer. In fact, if you can help, I'll make her a whole batch! She'll need it, all right."
"Wing Relaxer is like water, but there's no water in it. I use a pinch of pixie dust to combine the ESSENCE of water with soothing Lily Petals."

Gather 10 Lily Petals and bring them to Silvermist's Grotto in Dewdrop Vale.
