Sunflower!

It did turn out to be a sunflower pet! :) A replica from the game Plants vs. Zombies, which has its own mini game within Cataclysm. It's sooo cute... has about five different sing-song emotes that it plays.

Off Topic....

I know this isn't about WoW, but I stumbled across this really cool game that requires teamwork and cooperation with a randomly assigned group. You perform little memory (and other) tasks, and how well you and your teammates perform increases the other teammates' lifeline.

Try it out! :)
