Homer Simpson loves to garden and wants to grow lots of pink flowers for his pal Moe. He bought a special Flower Power fertilizer to see if it will help plants produce more flowers. He plants two plants of the same size in separate containers with the same amount of potting soil. He places one plant in a sunny window and waters it every day with fertilized water.
