Story
Once upon a time, flower spirits lived in peace and harmony with people, but when people became greedy and cruel, the spirits decided to leave the earth and went to live on a small planet hidden by a rainbow cloud, which they called the "Star of Flowers". However, their legacy has been preserved among people who really know the meaning of love and kindness. Two angels of the Flower Star, Nuvo and Koto, were sent to the earth in the form of talking dogs and cats to find the Angel of Flowers, a descendant of the Spirits of Flowers, able to find a magical rainbow flower, a symbol of the kingdom of the Flower Star. The finder of the flower will become the new king.
In France, they meet a young orphan Lulu, who lives with her grandparents, who own a flower shop. On the day of her 12th birthday, Lulu discovers that the blood of the Spirits of Flowers flows in her veins, and Nuvo and Koto ask the girl to join them in search of the coveted flower, and having received the blessing of her grandfather and grandmother, she agrees. Trinity sets off. They travel around the world in search of a flower, helping people at every opportunity.
Lulu, Nuvo and Koto are followed by a clumsy pair of villains - the selfish sorceress Tobi and her servant badger, Boris, who want to steal a flower and rule the Flower Planet themselves. Whenever Lulu and her friends try to help people, Toby and Boris try to send them back on the road with the help of force (causing the wind blowing Lulu and her company away from the scene, which every time reveals the true age of the witch, covering her face with wrinkles for a week). They also meet Seli, a mysterious photographer who helps Lulu and gives people bags of flower seeds. These seeds have different meanings in the "language of flowers." For example, the thistle , meaning independence, was presented to the son of a farmer who vowed to follow his dream and return home. All these people send seeds of gifts of flowers to grandfather Lulu in gratitude for the selfless help of Lulu to everyone who met on her way.
At the beginning of the series, Lulu receives from the Queen of Spirits of Flowers a Flower Key, which was passed to her by Nuvo and Koto. When the key is hovering over the flower, when the latter is reflected in the mirror of the key, for a short time Lulu's outfit changes to what she wants (for example, climbing equipment). Approximately in the middle of the series, the Flower Key breaks: Lulu falls from a branch of a tree hanging over a waterfall after Toby sends a wind at her. After that, Lulu receives a warning that if she ever ever loses or breaks the key, her life on Earth will end and she will not be able to return to the Flower Star.
