The Unicorn Chronicles: Going Solar

 

Solar panels, solar generators, solar cookers, solar tomatoes, solar unicorns… haha. Lots of solar things, but let us focus specifically on solar flares of the tomato and unicorn variety. 



A solar flare from our sun:







Cool, but that’s not the kind of solar flare we’re looking for. Let’s let’s try again:







A-ha! We’ve found the solar tomatoes. This is a variety of tomato called Solar Flare due to it possessing streaky sun-like hues. I have at least 34 varieties of tomato seeds, but I don’t have Solar Flare. Need to buy some Solar Flare seeds now. They are pretty tomatoes, but we still need to search for the correct solar flare. Oh look, found him! Here he is, Solar Flare (#712398) the solar unicorn:












Breyer did a good job on the colors with this guy. Mine doesn’t have golden hooves, but that’s fine. I was excited for Flare’s arrival and was not disappointed. It’s refreshing to have a unicorn that isn’t dressed in the typical unicorn uniform (white, purple, pink, or rainbow). Breyer has done a few out-of-uniform unicorns, such as the traditional mare and foal sets of Bellatrix and Spica, and Mira and Antares. Some of the Stablemate unicorn blind bags (such as the dark green walking TB and the raspberry Alby) strayed from typical unicorn colors as well. Lookout, here comes a Solar Flare!!!





















Oh, and here are some photos of Solar Flare on a Home Depot bucket. You know, for… no reason.













Here are some photos of Solar Flare looking all posh and not hanging out on work buckets:








One of these days I will have to do a side by side of Solar Flare and Solaris, who is a similarly colored unicorn on the Walking Draft Horse mold. Solaris’ color resembles Solar Flare’s, but I think Flare’s color is richer and and has a heavier gold sheen to his coat. Solaris also has to dreaded glitter in his mane and tail, which Flare (thankfully) lacks.
