Just as we predicted, this weekend's FarmVille update brought with it the many Mardi Gras themed items that we brought you sneak peeks of last week. This first duo of items comes in the form of the two Mardi Gras Trees that look similar to last year's release, but are in fact entirely new trees.
As you might expect, the normally sized tree costs just 5 Farm Cash, while the giant version costs 10 Farm Cash. You'll be able to master both trees by harvesting them once every two days, and you'll reach the first star of mastery for each tree after 75 harvests. Remember, if you'd rather just purchase one of these trees, in an effort to save some Farm Cash, just purchase the normal Mardi Gras Tree and then place it into one of your Orchards, as you'll then have a chance to spawn the giant tree as a Mystery Seedling.
Both of these trees will be available in the game for the next two weeks, so make sure to purchase them fast and throw a Mardi Gras celebration now while you still can.
What do you think of these two new trees?

FarmVille Mardi Gras Animals: Carnival Horse, Carnival Foal, and Carnival Pig
A trio of new Mardi Gras themed animals were released as part of tonight's FarmVille update, with two of these being available in the game's store. These two animals are the Carnival Horse and the Carnival Pig, both of which are unfortunately only available for Farm Cash.
First, the Carnival Pig costs 18 Farm Cash, and can be harvested from once every two days. You'll gain 1800 experience points for purchasing it. Meanwhile, the Carnival Horse costs more at 26 Farm Cash. You'll gain 2600 experience points for spending more on the horse, which can be harvested every three days; that is, unless you place it inside the Horse Stable, where it can be harvested once daily. This is also the way to create the third animal in the game - the Carnival Foal - as you'll have a chance of breeding a foal when you have the Horse and a Stallion in your Horse Stable.
Remember though - as exciting as it might be to breed this horse to create a foal will only be sharable to your friends, and you won't actually get to keep one of your own. To have a Carnival Foal on your own land, you'll need to look out for wall posts from friends that have bred their own horses and received one at random.
Both the Carnival Horse and Carnival Pig will be available in the game's store for the next two weeks, while of course the Carnival Foal will continue to be available for long after.
Which of these two animals is your favorite? Do you think either is worth the high Farm Cash price?

FarmVille Mystery Game (3/6/2011): Spring-themed items clear away the snow
While the FarmVille store may have been packed full with Mardi Gras themed items in tonight's game update, there is one area that is entirely different - that being this week's Mystery Game. This week, we clear away the cold chill of winter for a set of new Spring-themed items, including the Yellow Unicorn we brought you a sneak peek of previously.
This week's Mystery Game luckily returns us to the "normal" price tag of 16 Farm Cash per single dart thrown at the board. For that price, you'll have a chance to land one of the following six items:
Hummingbirds
Butterfly Fountain
Fawn Deer
Baby Alpaca
White Kitten
Yellow Unicorn
You'll likely also recognize the Fawn and Baby Alpaca from previous posts here on Games.com - The Blog!, so it's great to see these items officially find a place in the game, even if it is without a guarantee that you'll actually end up with them if you want them. Still, any of these items would make a great addition to your farm, so I don't think the disappointment will last.
As usual, you have a week to try and earn all six of these items in your game, as next Sunday the game's items will rotate, and these six will no longer be available, and likely won't be available again for some time, if ever.
Which of these six items are you most hoping to win from this week's Mystery Game? Would you pay a flat price for any of these items if they were released in the market, or do you like that Zynga makes a game of it?

FarmVille Mother's Day Animals: Kangaroo & Joey, Polar Bear Cub
While they may not immediately scream "Mother's Day" at first glance, two new animals have been added to FarmVille's equally new Mother's Day item theme, and they come in the form of the Kangaroo & Joey (both for the price of one!) and the Polar Bear Cub. So, how do these animals relate to Mother's Day? The Kangaroo & Joey is the more easily explainable item, as it clearly shows a mother protecting her baby - something that most of us can relate to from our childhoods. For the Polar Bear Cub, I think the connection is a bit more abstract. Perhaps this is a way for us to adopt a Polar Bear Cub and serve as its virtual mother?
Either way, these two items are cute as can be, but come at a high price point. The Kangaroo & Joey is surprisingly the cheaper of the two items, at 16 Farm Cash, while the Polar Bear Cub (which happens to be a re-released item from the Earth Day event of 2010) costs 22 Farm Cash. Luckily, this is the same price as when the cub was first released, so at least Zynga didn't pull a fast one on us there. Also, for those with a keen eye - yes, a Kangaroo was also released during the Earth Day event last year, but that was a solo Kangaroo (sans Joey), so they are technically different items.
If you plan on purchasing either one of these animals, you'll need to do so quickly, as the Mother's Day theme is set to expire from the store in just a week. Will we see more items released in the theme before all is said and done? We're not sure, but we'll make sure to let you know if we do.
Let us know what you think of these animals in the comments. Do you think they fit properly with a Mother's Day theme? What animals would have been better suited to celebrate a bond between a mother and her child?

FarmVille Mother's Day Building: Outdoor Spa
While tonight's FarmVille update may have brought with it plenty of items, perhaps none is more soothing than the Outdoor Spa building. This new structure costs 20 Farm Cash to add to your farm (or to send to your mother's farm, if she happens to play), and it is one of the most heavily detailed "cottages" we've seen released in some time.
The Outdoor Spa itself has a large outdoor, two-story patio connected to a larger building. On the top floor deck, you have two lounge chairs, while underneath lies a hot tub (what I wouldn't give to have one of those right now). If you're looking for other items to decorate with, alongside this new Outdoor Spa, why not try a few flowers, or even a Magnolia Tree, which can also be given to your mother to complete the package.
This lovely Mother's Day building will be available for the next seven days, so shop fast!
Do you know of a mother that deserves her own spa day (at least virtually)? Will you purchase the Spa for your own farm, or keep to the idea of giving it as a gift?

FarmVille Mother's Day Decorations: Dahlia Flowerbed, Mom Day Gnome, Mom's Gift Basket & More
While tonight's FarmVille update brought with it new animals, trees, a building and even a new crop, the largest set of items came to the store's decorations section, as six new items are available to purchase, either for your own farm, or as intended - giving them as a gift to the mothers in your life.
Four of the six items are premium, but not all of them actually scream "Mother's Day," giving you a chance to outfit your own farm with some lovely decorations in the process. For Gnome collectors, the Mom Day Gnome serves you breakfast in bed for just 10 Farm Cash (that's actually a cheap price, compared to the normal 15+ Farm Cash price of other Gnomes). If you're more of a gardener, you can also pick up the Humming Birds for 12 Farm Cash.
Meanwhile, the other two Farm Cash items are specific to the holiday, as a Mom's Day Sign costs just 2 Farm Cash and a Mom's Gift Basket costs just a single Farm Cash. Why so cheap? Well, the items must cost Farm Cash to enable in-game gifting, according to the current store setup. In this way, you'll be able to spend just a couple of Farm Cash at a time, and still give those mothers in your life something truly special (and exclusive in the game).
Interestingly, one of the most Mother's Day-centric items in tonight's theme goes for coins. While the Dahlia Flowerbed is another generic decorative item, going for 5,000 coins each, the Mom Day Sign II is mind-bogglingly priced at 80,000 coins. Don't get me wrong - the sign is lovely, and while it doesn't actively say "Happy Mother's Day," the sign does have "Mom" in bright red letters. I know my mother would love to have this sign on her farm, so why am I not allowed to give it to her? Yes, she could purchase it for her own farm (and likely will), but that just isn't as special, at least in my humble opinion.
Either way, whether you purchase these items for yourself, for your own mother, or just for your friends who happen to be mothers, you'll need to do so within the next week, as these items will expire (likely until next year) after that point.

FarmVille Animal Sanctuary Items: Melaleuca Tree, Zebra Unicorn, Zoo Lodge and more
Whether you're growing tired of the Animal Sanctuary theme in FarmVille, or if you've been eagerly awaiting more, the market has been updated this evening with even more items in the theme for your shopping (or just browsing) pleasure. There are new animals, trees and more available to choose from, and as usual, we're here to give you a breakdown of each and every item released this evening, so you can make the most educated shopping experiences possible (because, let's face it - that Farm Cash doesn't come cheap).
Trees
Eucalyptus Tree - 7 Farm Cash
Melaleuca Tree - 15 Farm Cash
In this case, the Eucalyptus Tree is the level one tree, allowing you to save those 15 Farm Cash and earn a Melaleuca Tree (or two... or ten) for free via Mystery Seedlings either grown in your own Orchards, or claimed from friends' wall posts. As usual, both of these trees can be mastered, with the first star coming at 75 harvests (each).
Animals
Zebra Unicorn - 30 Farm Cash
Sloth Bear - 12 Farm Cash
Yes, I said it --err, typed it. A unicorn is available with tonight's update, which should make horse and unicorn collectors alike really excited. As with most other unicorns, the price here is pretty high, but I suppose that's the price you pay for a zebra-striped unicorn with a baby blue mane. Also, if you happen to login to your game and see prices that are different from those mentioned and pictured here, keep in mind that Zynga likes to "price test," to see just how high they can price an item and still have users pay the fee. You may have just come across one such test, so don't be alarmed - a single price will be decided upon soon enough, I'm sure.
Buildings
Zoo Lodge - 20 Farm Cash
This building doesn't necessary scream of being perfect for a zoo, but it has the "lodge" portion down. This fairly large building has an angled ceiling with skylights that make it an interesting sight to say the least. You'll receive 2,000 experience points for purchasing one.
Decorations:
Aviary Fence - 5,000 coins
Koala Bear Gnome - 15 Farm Cash
Crocodile Pond - 16 Farm Cash
Hummock Grassland - 10,000 coins
Alright, let's just take a moment to look at how cute the Koala Bear Gnome is - adorable, isn't he? Now that our moment is over, we can get back to the topic at hand: at least there are two coin items here, unlike previous releases, but unless you plan on creating some farm art with these fence tiles, you'll likely not feel that counts. Still, the pieces of Hummock Grassland look really nice next to one another, so if you're looking for a way to change the appearance of a large section of land, and don't mind losing the ability to place anything on top (say, if this land were in a garden or animal pen), feel free to buy them in bulk.
All of these items will be available to purchase from the game's store for the next two weeks. Hopefully, in that time, we'll see even more coin items released in this theme (or even in a new theme), and we'll make sure to let you know if that's the case.
