I have a feeling this month's HPUD will be quite different. @traciyork has been tied up in real life in the past few months and @arcange is probably still busy on restoring Hive SQL which was hacked a few weeks ago. They are both the driving force behind HPUD every month, hopefully they will be back very soon.
That said, their absence shouldn't stop everyone from powering up today. HPUD has become a nice habit for me every month. Hopefully it will be for you as well, and you will continue to power up to increase your stake on Hive. That's the easiest way to grow your account and influence on Hive.
Some of you may know I like my round figures and last night I powered up 190 HP to get to 114k.
March HPUD Guessing Contest
Now onto my monthly HPUD Guessing Contest. Do you like my orchid plant? I bought it a few weeks ago and it's bloomed beautifully, so beautiful that I thought it deserves to be the star of my HPUD Guessing Contest. This month I would like you to guess
How many flowers are there in this pot of orchid?
There are two branches potted here, and if you zoom in, you will see a bud at the top, please include that as well as it will bloom soon. You can see most of the flowers in the photos, and there may or may not be some hidden behind them. What do you think? Let me know your answer in the comments below.
The person who guess correctly or the nearest to the correct answer will get 100 Hive powered up to your account. If there are more than one winner, you will share the 100 HP. And if you win and powered up on HPUD I will double your win. However, if you are powering down or have powered down in the past month you will not be eligible for any prizes. It's pointless for me to power up to you to help you grow your account if you're powering down.
As usual, I will upvote your entry and the % will be based on your level of engagement as the whole reason I started this HPUD Guessing Contest was to drive up quality engagement on Hive. Good luck everyone!!
My Three Favourite Posts Challenge
This month I started a challenge for you to share your favorite Hive posts with everyone. I know many of those who have entered have enjoyed going down their Hive memory lane. Perhaps you would like to take part as well? Details can be found in this post below.
https://peakd.com/hive-100848/@livinguktaiwan/my-three-favourite-posts-challenge
What a joyful contest for this month! My guess is 16 flowers in the orchid. I also have 3 orchids, but mine aren't blooming yet... The temperatures aren't that cold here, but I think i haven't pay them much attention... Shame on me!
It is good to know that the community is together in Powering Up even if the usual post haven't been published due to the attack that hive SQL suffered.
I have to check your challenge about the three favorite post! I have to make it this weekend!!!
I cheated a little, coz this pot of orchid was already blooming when I bought it the other week 😄 I thought orchids like warm weather? They should like it where you are
Look forward to seeing your three favourite post
I must research my favorite 3 posts... "Running" around in the weekend with a lot of things to do. I didn't had the chance to see it on WE. I hope that this week is a little bit relaxed... 🤞🤞
I very different HPUD with everything that has happened. Your correct in saying it shouldn't stop us from doing our monthly part of powering up today 😊 I felt I scraped through February, well hoping I will break that trend now that we are in March now. Hopefully a better month ahead for all of us!
Nice looking orchid plant. I'll guess 15 flowers. I'll keep it odd thinking 8 flower blossoms are shown and 7 are facing away. Have a great HPUD and weekend ahead!
Scraped through as in on Hive or real life? I'm sure things will be better in March, spring is coming!
A bit of both, I'm happy February is in the rear view mirror. Oh bring on Spring 😊
Hi, the right choice of theme for these days when nature is slowly awakening. Well, almost, it's lucky that there are oranges to sweeten our days while we wait for spring 🙂As for your HPUD Guessing Contest, I'm going to guess that it's 19 🌸. Have a nice weekend!
That's so true, nature slowly waking up. It's really nice to see flowers starting to bloom when I go out. Hope you're enjoying your weekend
You know what they say, I'd rather have a bad weekend than a good day at work 🙃 It's raining here all the time, but we still managed to do at least a short walk around the neighbourhood. I wish you a nice rest of Sunday and a successful week! Best regards
Yes, I so love your orchid plant. How I wish I could bring that home. Hehe. So beautiful! Congrats on launching the Three Challenges community! Blessings to you and more power.
By the way, I guess there are 15 flowers in the pot. Happy Hive power up day!
Thanks for supporting the Three Challenges Community @pinkchic and good luck with your entry
I am gonna say 28 cheers
ha ha!!! Nice one!
hanging on every word just waiting for the result!!
The orchid is very nice. My ones died a long time ago, just one survived. It has buds and in a few weeks, it will bloom too. My guess is that your plant has 16 flowers + one bud that is still not open. 🌸
I hope your orchid will bloom soon, all your other plants like the succulents are do lovely
So 17 is your answer? Good luck!
Yes, then it is 17 :)
I love orchids, those are beautiful! I'm so bad at these guessing games and although I only see 15 (the one bud included in that number) I think there are some hiding in the back, so I'm guessing 17!
Congratulations on your awesome growth @livinguktaiwan 🌟
Thanks Lizzie. It's all part of the fun, and that's what matters!! Thanks for your entry!
That is a beautiful looking orchid. So tall!
Are we including the bud as a flower? lol I thinking yes, so my guess is 17 including the bud.
I picked the tallest and the one with the most flowers in the shop, get my money's worth as they're all the same price!! 😂
Good luck with your guess
That's a good strategy. Orchids often re-bloom again after they drop all of their flowers and if you wait a little while. I love that about orchids
Power up day is when I do my biggest power up, I am part of the 1k club apart from that I power up some hive every day so my account is growing nicely.
I think 16 flowers for my guess.
Nice one! What's the 1k club? Do you power up 1k every month? That's incredible 👏
Yes, it’s 1k hive every month, I am almost at orca level.
When I counted for the first time I got 18, but now I don't see them anymore 😂 It doesn't matter as I go with my first guess 😉
They do play with your mind don't they? It's like now you see them, now you don't 😄
Indeed! Can't wait for the reveal, although I don't qualify since I started powering down as I want to increase my HBD savings 😊
Well, my guess is that there are 16 flowers and one bud on the top. Which collectively makes it 17.
And I have read about that my favourite three posts challenge, expect my entry soon in there.
Stay blessed until then.
Look forward to your three favourite post challenge. And good luck with your entry
I was going to guess 15 or 16, but it looks like a lot of people have thrown those out there already. I am going to go with 13 just to be different, even though it probably isn't accurate!
Haha! It's nice to be different, you never know!
Congratulations on your Hive Power Up! This time is/was different... I didn't feel the buzz around the #HivePUD and it will be interesting to see who did it... :)
Regarding the orchid, I would say that there are 17 buds... 🙂
I hope you will have a great weekend!
Hive SQL is finally back up again!!
Hope you are enjoying what's left of your weekend
I was thinking that the HPUD recording could be messed up, but I also added some anyway as I plan to buy some $HIVE each month for that. When HiveSQL is back it will interesting to check the stats.
Hopefully the sync will be finished very soon, I think it's a lot of transactions every day
I'm telling myself for ages that I need to start my little apartment garden, but as usually... procrastinating! :P I'm going for 18 flowers! !LUV
Procrastinating, that's my speciality 😄
I finally sowed some veggies seedlings today. 3 days into March and only because I promised my sister I'd do it so it will be ready for when she comes back from holiday, otherwise I would have left it ....
Veggies were my main idea, as well as aromatic plants. Soon... hopefully! 😅😅
19 orchid flowers.
and four oranges for good luck. 😎
Yup, the mandatory oranges when visiting people! Hope they bring you good luck
Here, we say huat ah.
Good. You have a beautiful orchid plant. Here the orchid plants are different, so your plant attracts more attention to me. For me it must have about 19 flowers. Thanks.
I think there are many different orchid variations, this type is commonly sold in shops here.
Good luck with your entry
Thank you, best regards
I was overlooking these contests.
I'm glad I stopped and read.
I count 16 flowers. Although first I counted 15.
Good luck for all of you. This plant is very beautiful.
I run this every month on HPUD day, hopefully you will drop by again in future
Ah OK thank you very much. I will keep it in mind 🙋🏾♀️
This orchid is really beautiful. I absolutely love it cause it's similar to the was once at my parents'house.
Going with 17 flowers.🌺
I think it looks really nice in my room, hope your parent's orchid looked equally nice at your home.
It's more beautiful than an orchid. My orchid did not bloom this year. I counted 16 flowers on the orchid. One bud. 🌺
I bought this a few weeks ago that's why it's blooming so nice, I hope it will repeat next year.
Is your answer 16 or 17 including the bud?
16 🤗🌸
Hi! congrats with another successfull #hpud. Noticed your guessing game and could not but give it a try. My guess is 19. 😎
Thanks for dropping by and good luck with your entry
Happy HPUD.. I can finally participate in your guessing game hehe..
I guess they are 18, if not, 19 hehe
Pretty white moth orchids. We usually buy the purple one for Buddha here..
!PIZZA
Yes, you made it Jane! So is your answer 18 or 19?
Just 18 hehe
I had to power down last month so let me just wish you a decent engagement here, fun round btw, very creative :)

Upvoted 👌 (Mana: 34/54) Liquid rewards.
That's unfortunate, but I'm sure we all have needs sometimes. I had some entrants that were in constant power down which goes against the whole power up idea, so it wasn't fair on others. Thanks for the tip
Power Up is a routine for me, I will continue to do it on the first day of every month. I have been trying to earn the Power Up Month badge for a few months now, but I always forget a day and miss the badge. It was frustrating. Anyway, thank you Pauline for your commitment to this event!
My guess is that there were 19 flowers there. It wasn't easy to count and I'm sure I made a mistake, but we'll see :P
PS: I have a list of posts to share and on Monday I will post about my top 3 posts.
The badge is fun, but the most important thing is the act of power up, so don't kick yourself if you miss the badges.
Look forward to see your favourite posts!
As I like to be different, I'll go for 18 although I count less flowers. BUT, I often hear from friend I should look better, so guess it could be reasonable :p
Thanks for this contest! :D
You never know, you could or could not be right. Good luck!
Ah yes, I always love these contests!! I will say 18 flowers altogether.
Thanks for your support @ablaze and good luck
It's imprecise to determine the exact number, but let's try, I would say 16. Good luck to all participants.
And good luck to yourself!
My guess is 15 blooms :D I just joined this month's HPUD Yay!
Great timing this month and good luck
Thank you so much. :D
Happy HPUD Pauline 🥳🥳
My guess is 17 flowers 😊
Have an awesome weekend!
Have a great weekend yourself Jackie!
Thank you so much 👋🏻😊
Happy new week!
Hello maam good day, actually this is my first time participating to your guessing contest. I like it because I don't need to squeeze my brain inorder to answer the correct one 😁. I hope I am welcome here although I'm just new, and my answer is 17. Because I think there was another bud on the back portion. And also I want to power up my 13 hive to increase my power and perform well someday. Thanks for initiating this one!
Welcome! It's always nice to see more people join my monthly HPUD Guessing Contest. I've deliberately made this contest quite easy as part of the objective is to meet more people and drive up engagement, as well as having some fun. Hopefully we can al meet these objectives every month.
For sure I've waited this contest every month.
Greetings @livinuktaiwan, orchids are beautiful, years ago I had the opportunity to see a beautiful garden with a great variety of these flowers, in fact the national flower of my country is the orchid; I think there are 19 orchids in the pot.
Thanks for the information about the challenge of the three favorite publications, I will try to participate.
Happy day!
You must have lots of beautiful orchids in Venezuela, lucky you!! Good luck with your entry and I hope to see you three favourite posts soon
Beautiful flowers, I imagine it must have about 18 flowers.
Good luck with your entry!
I guess it's 18 :)
We shall find out in a few days time...
