Alternate Birth Flower Ponies
Alternative Birthflower Ponies were international versions of regular Birthflower Ponies. They were available in Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Iceland, and Denmark. The Australian editions were packed in regular cards, the other ones were sold in horizontal cards. They were available from 1986 to 1988. Unlike US release, each pony had different body and hair colour and multicolored symbol. Their hair was straight and shorter than their US counterparts'. All of them had blue eyes and came with light purple flower brush and a white ribbon. All of them shared the same backcard which listed all backcard stories of regular Birthflower Ponies (Australian release) or their names (Danish). [1]
