you should recognize the foliage, if nothing else
i suspect it would have been a pain in the patootie to code the game so that it told you what kind of plant was growing before it was mature if you have already grown it before, because then it would need to specify that you would only know if it was polinated from identical parents! otherwise the surprise of cross pollinating would be gone!
