Spectacular Interactive Growing Flowers & Plants, in Second Life!

"Our PlantPets are interactive plants which can grow and express happiness if you take care for them. Each copy has its own behavior depending on how much attention it gets from its owner. It consists of a changeable pot, soil, an optional moisture meter stuck into the soil, and the actual plant which is temporary rezzed above the pot and gets refreshed once in a minute. You add water to the pot by a menu, and the plant grows according to the moisture level and the specified speed of growth. In any case, the growth of a plant is slow and normally you should allow at least a couple of minutes before you see visible change."

You can find plants in many categories, such as Fantasy, Spring, Garden, Roses, Winter, Hibiscus, Pansies, & Exotic.  Get one for yourself or a gift for a friend.
