Miniature Sunflower

I asked about a miniature sunflower I had that was wilting, and was told that watering was doing no good, as there was probably root damage, and it would not survive.
I put it back in its pot, but back in the spot where it had been planted.
After work today, I noticed that most of the leaves had perked up, and only a few looked sad.
I was very happy, and planted it back in the soil.
The two pictures below show the difference.
(sorry about the quality of the first one.)

I'm glad your sunflower had a good drink. maybe it will grow better now it's in the ground.

well glad there isnt root damage but your last question on this suggested that it wasnt taking up water hence my response. Glad it did respond.

Watering didn't seem to be working. I never said it didn't take it up, I just said that it wasn't helping by watering.
Glad it finally brightened up, and it has finally opened.
I wil post a picture later on tis blog.
