Por otra parte, el evento ha sido una excelente ocasión para que los dibujantes y autores pongan ropas novedosas en los mutantes, pues todos fueron muy "bien" vestidos.

Although the text is extremely simple, We have some red flowers, and orange flowers, the names of all the flowers are listed (on the flower, or on the Popsicle stick that marks each plot) in every single picture.
