Environmentalists will be all over this because discarding these covers all over the world will upset the 'ecosystem' of countries that don't have Sun flowers as native plants./sarc/off

a cell phone cover that will grow into a sunflower when thrown away

I once had a sweet, pretty, girlfriend who turned into a lying, money-sucking, cheating b****. So I imagine it was only a matter of time for this next evolutionary leap.

> why anyone would want to do this. It's the typical leftwing answer: "Because we can."

And then there's the typical right wing answer: "Because peopel will buy it and we'll make money." I'd make tie-dyed "I love Gaia" t-shirts if I thought I could make a big enough pot of money off it.

Why does it have to be a phone? Why can't it be something that people through away with greater frequency, like packaging of some kind or a piece of camping gear?

You sound a mite bitter. A cell phone that grows into a sunflower will cure that. Have a nice day!

Yeah, how about a tent that grows into a venus flytrap?

What if the phone gets rained on, or what if it is a damp day?

LOL
Depends whether it is full grown or seed.
They grow wild around here so never thought about it
