“I too must apologise,” said Professor Vortechs. “Setting your geraniums on fire with my Solar Refractor was most unsportsmanlike.”

“It will be you,” hissed Stranglehoff. “Your Sentient Sunflowers… genius!”
“No, your anti-slug Detonating Daisies are clear favourites!”
“The winner is…” the Mayor said, “Agatha Potter, and her fine Streptocarpus display.”
“But…” Stranglehoff stuttered. “They’re just flowers… they don’t DO anything…” He turned to Vortechs. “And they called US mad?”
