And yeah, Alphys is shocked when PAPYRUS talks about a tiny flower (not a talking flower), but why wouldn't she be? She knows that she injected a flower with a bunch of DETERMINATION and is guilty about everything that she's done. There's no recollection of a talking flower before or after the boss fight which heavily implies that Alphys didn't know it was sentient. I'll post lab entries here related to "the vessel" so that no one has to search for them. The flower is gone. Definitely implies something is up, so I can assume Alphys did know the sentience but still questioned about it. Of course, Asgore could've picked it. Maybe someone else did.

Going really deep into this huh lol. ... Do you think Alphys mentioned it to sans? Or was she a total steel trap about what went wrong with DETERMINATION? There are a few ties between sans and Alphys (here's looking at sans and the dogfood...).

Flowey also has a hatred of Smiley Trashbag (here's him talking about sans) because sans has made him reset so many times. I think Alphys may have mentioned the vessel to sans and sans may have connected the dots between anomaly and a sentient flower thing.

We operate in a timeline where Flowey reset and waited for the formula to change because he was bored. So, sans may know of a sentient flower existing and wants us to know that its been talking to his brother. I mean, come on - how could what he's describing be an echo flower? And I believe sans has the instinct to search for what is messing with his brother... Hmm...

All speculation. ^^ Though, I am a bit more interested in seeing if this helps determine how Chara came back to haunt us.
