The image has a great simplicity about it, with the image of the plants being absolutely clear even when drawn with crayon. The little shapes in the soil give a good implication about the different minerals that make up the dirt. The roots overlapping via one extension is an interesting touch that gives depth to the inanimate plants.
However, the image's uneven line work and colors outside defined boundaries make the image seem a little too off. The overlapping colors are not so far over the lines to implicate subtle artistic license, but instead an unsteady hand or unwieldy crayon. Unlike many of the other pictures, this one also offers a rather vague situation that seems to rely more on the author's creativity in story formation than the artist's own ability to invoke imaginative thought. There may be a greater freedom on the writer's part, but it comes at the expense of the artist's own storytelling.

A simple sketch, but effective. I have to give other pieces in this round higher ranks for creativity, and some things will have to go in my lower tier accordingly; nothing personal. Thanks for creating it, Artist!
In which plants grow. (And it's a long stretch, but I would like to point out how wistful it is to see a piece about plants drawn on paper.)
On the alt text: Quite touching. I don't have much else to say other than that it feels like a quote some famous or wise person would say.
On the picture itself: Traditional art always rings nostalgic to me especially because a lot of things done these days can also be done digitally—you can say I've been spoiled by pony fan art, but enough about me. This picture is pretty and easy on the eyes. Sadly, I would have to give this a pass from the top of the pack with the same reasons as Grey.
Have a good one anyway, kind creator!

Root Causes
After that intro post of mine to this round, I wanted to include one pic that was hand drawn. I sketched this with colored pencils the night before everything was due. I had nothing in mind save that plants can form underground networks by which they can 'learn' things from each other.
