I honestly want to celebrate awesomeness but the fricking blue stick is better than the sunflower. And what's with the massive pot! But you are awesome Pou and your blue stick.

I had thought (possibly incorrectly) that the bigger the pot, the bigger the plant. Assisted by my handmade watering device, I was confident I was on to a winner. But it is a bit shit, I suppose.
