having recently discovered the ability to speed up or down the game, ive used it extensively to quicken the game's pace
while using this feature, however, i came to realize that the flowers were having a little difficulty catching up
when i selected my flower and clicked on the "plant" button, the little thing started to crawl around the surface of my asteroid -- without ever rooting itself onto the surface!
well, as i had sped things up, it was "crawling" quite fast

only when i slowed the game back to its original speed did the poor bugger peacefully settle down
it's just a minor bug, i believe, and i hope you can tranquilize these restless plants in the next patch!
