Primrose Path

Primrose Path is a special, one-of-a-kind Thymed Event for Plants vs. Zombies 2, introduced in the most recent update for the game. Like with all of the other Thymed Events, there are no new plants to unlock (although there are several rewards scattered throughout the levels), but there ARE however multiple new zombies that have shown up for the Primrose Path event - specifically 12 regular zombies and 1 Zombot. Primrose Path lasts for a total of 30 levels and takes place during the day, with a few Last Stand and Special Delivery levels scattered throughout as well.
There's a few gimmicks in Primrose Path that make it particularly exciting:
*Grimweeds: Grimweeds grow on the lawn, and they can be removed with a handy . They block plant placement, and if a plant was already there it will be trapped and take damage until freed. Grimweeds won't be directly targeted by plants, but can take damage and be destroyed by indirect damage such as an explosion from .
*Butterfly Blessing: Friendly butterflies flutter around the garden, occasionally landing on plants and granting them special abilities. For example, a touched by a butterfly might produce additional sun, while a could gain splash damage. All special abilities are temporary.
*Twisted Flowers: Twisted Flowers appear on the lawn sometimes as giant, gnarly grid items. Zombies that walk into them will emerge as another more powerful zombie. For example, a Gardener Zombie might come out as a Landscaper Zombie or Trowel Zombie. It's madness! There is a small chance for the zombie to emerge as a Gargantuar of some flavor.

As with all Thymed Event levels, these cannot be replayed.In addition, no coin bags are awarded for completing levels.I decided against describing special gimmicks for levels individually as there's not really much of a benefit for doing it with a Thymed Event. There's no new plants to unlock, and the gimmicks are recycled from previous worlds, so just the essentials should be enough.

==Dialogue==
===Level 1===
Crazy Dave: Hey, Penny! How about we plant some extra-tall Sunflowers here on the Primrose Path? They'll reach the sky and beyond!
Penny: Calculating optimal Sunflower placement now, User Dave. Extra-tall Sunflowers may attract attention from airborne zombies.
Crazy Dave: Airborne zombies? Oh, they're just looking for a little sunshine, Penny! Nothing wrong with that. Let 'em enjoy the view!
Dr. Zomboss: Ah, the Primrose Path. How charming. I suppose you think you can just plant flowers without consequences.
Crazy Dave: Consequences? Like a garden party with zombies? That sounds like fun! Join us, Zomboss!
Dr. Zomboss: I have my own plans, foolish David. Behold, my Zombot Grim Gazebo! It pulverizes primroses and everything else in its path.
Zombot Grim Gazebo: *ominous machinery sounds*
Dr. Zomboss: It's... not fully finished yet. But once it's done, it'll stomp you out once and for all!
Penny: Alert: Zombot detected. Prepare for combat, User Dave.
Crazy Dave: Time to dust off the ol' cahoonies! Let's show Dr. Zhangus the real power of flowers!
===Level 2===
Crazy Dave: Whoa-ho-ho! Hold on to your pot, Penny! Dr. Zomboss is cookin' up trouble again!
Penny: Alert: Incoming transmission from Dr. Zomboss. Brace yourself, User Dave.
Crazy Dave: But we just talked to that guy!
Dr. Zomboss: Greetings! I hope you're ready for a botanical brouhaha of epic proportions! Feast your eyes on my latest creation – the genetically modified Grimweeds!
Dr. Zomboss: These Grimweeds have a delectable taste for plant energy. Once they latch onto your leafy friends, they drain their life force, leaving them weak and wilted. It's a gardener's nightmare!
Crazy Dave: Grimweeds, eh? Sounds like a real rootin' tootin' good time!
Penny: Analysis: Grimweeds appear to be an enhanced variant of the conventional weed zombie. Exercise caution.
Penny: Alert: Increased threat level detected. Grimweeds are equipped with energy-draining capabilities. Recommend strategic planning.
===Level 7===
Crazy Dave: Hey, Penny! Look at those fluttery things in the air. They're like little flying rainbows!
Penny: Observation: Those are butterflies, Crazy Dave. Native to various ecosystems, they often serve as pollinators for plants.
Crazy Dave: But what if they're not just ordinary butterflies? What if they're... super-duper magical butterflies! Wahoo!
Penny: Caution: Unsubstantiated claims of magical properties may lead to irrational behavior.
===Level 13===
Crazy Dave: Whoa-ho-ho! Check out those gnarly flowers! They're... huge!
Penny: Warning, User Dave. These are no ordinary flowers. Any zombie that steps into them will emerge as a more powerful variant.
Crazy Dave: You mean like... upgrading your brain... but for zombies? That's just twisted!
Penny: Precisely. The transformation is random, but there is a minor chance the zombie could even emerge as something more menacing than we can imagine.
Crazy Dave: Like a giant cat? Oh, great. As if they weren't already scary enough! Time to prune with extreme prejudice!
===Level 17===
Crazy Dave: Whoa! Look at that bush! It's... shooting petals everywhere!
Crazy Dave: Dude should really bring some tissues next time. I don't want to clean that all up later.
Penny: That is the Flowering Bush, a plant that fires flower petals in four directions. This could be highly effective for controlling multiple lanes.
Crazy Dave: Four-way petal power? Now that's what I call going full bloom! You think it smells like tacos?
Penny: User Dave, please stop talking.
===Level 22===
Dr. Zomboss: Ah, the fragrant aroma of flowers! A nauseating scent that assaults my olfactory senses every time I enter this accursed garden.
Crazy Dave: Hey there, Zomboss! You seem to have a real green thumb for someone who's, you know, a zombie.
Dr. Zomboss: It's not a green thumb; it's a highly efficient and undead thumb, thank you very much. And I find these flowers utterly revolting.
Crazy Dave: Revolting? Come on, Zomboss! They're just trying to spread a little love with their petals and stuff.
Dr. Zomboss: Love? Pah! I have no use for such frivolous emotions. I'm here for world domination, not horticultural sentimentality.
Crazy Dave: Well, maybe you'd be a happier zombie if you stopped and smelled the roses once in a while. Or in your case, the decaying zombie flesh plant.
Dr. Zomboss: Hmph! Flowers are nothing more than an impediment to my perfectly orchestrated plans. They distract my minions with their vibrant colors and annoyingly cheerful demeanor.
Crazy Dave: Whatever, bro.
===Level 29===
Dr. Zomboss: My Zombot Grim Gazebo is complete! Give up now, or I'll bury you in the dirt!
Crazy Dave: NEVER!
Crazy Dave: What a shmuck.
===Level 30===
Crazy Dave: Another victory for Team Plants! High-fives all around!
Penny: Victory achieved, User Dave. The Primrose Path is safe once again.
Dr. Zomboss: This isn't over! I'll be back with an even deadlier plan!
Crazy Dave: Looking forward to it, Zomboss! Maybe next time you can bring a Zombot that waters the plants instead.

==Trivia==
*The zombie placement in the level set will be added when there is art for zombies
**Otherwise, all of them would use the same placeholder tile and that would be pretty useless
