The Winter Gardens' name is a bit of a misdirection - there are flowers here that bloom at many different times of the year.  It's almost the size of an entire town square, and it has almost every known flora of the Continent in it.

the princess
I am the daughter of the king. I am third or fourth in command. I do not like the jesters.
It's so beautiful here in the Winter gardens. My father is king, I don't know if you know that. Aren't the flowers perfect? Ah yes, my princess.  As you maid, of course I am privy to that, but it is such an honor, yes, such an honor indeed that you mention it.  And how could the flowers compare, my lady, when they stand in your presence? I would be much happier if only my father would fire these annoying jesters. I hate them!  Ah, my princess, it pains me that something distresses you.  Could I not.. that is.. discretely... I know there are certain flowers here that... if ingested... would cause the jesters to trouble my most beautiful and glorious princess no more. You always have my needs at heart. What do I do, do I eat it? Oh, tell me, I'll eat it now! Oh no, fair princess, this bloom must never touch your perfect, rosey lips!  I shall but take it and slip it into the jesters food.  They would but pass in their sleep as gentle as lambs.. for as my maid, anything that distresses you, distresses me tenfold! Ahhhhh....I am royal, but you are wise. I would be lost without you at my side, my loyal maid.  But of course, my princess.  I am ever at your command, and your slightest whim is my deepest desire!  Is there anything else that troubles you, my fair lady?  Anything at all? I'm a little lonely. Do you know any fair princes looking for a mate? Ah yes, but of course, my princess!  I did intercept a .. ahem.. a missive from the fairest prince in the land.  It appears he searching for his future queen.  I did take the -ahem- liberty of composing several unflattering letters and portraits of the neighboring princesses, so you need not fear any competition.  Not that any who look upon you could see that you are the fairest of all! How have been so fortunate to have your loyal graces? I am indeed blessed. I hope that this prince you speak of is ready to meet? Ah, my princess, my heart leaps at your kind words to one as lowly as I!  Indeed, I can compose a missive for you this very day and send it speedily hence.  I have no doubt he can be yours within the week, should you so favor him with your dulcet tones.
