FAQ
Where did that plant come from? I sure didn't plant it.There are a few possibilities:
- It's a weed. If you have weeds turned on, they will grow by
themselves. There are thistles and dandylions. You can turn
the weeds off or left click on them to pull them.
- It's a baby flower. If your garden has been running for a while, the flowers will seed down.
- If it came up about the same time as other flowers, you might have planted it and not remembered. (OK, probably not, but some of the seedlings are hard to see.)
After the flower blooms for a while, the bloom dies. Then the plant produces seeds, buds, and prepares to bloom again.
