Specimen exhibits photosynthetic behavior in complete darkness. Petals are not petals. They are modified leaves with thorn-like serrations along every edge. The stem twists in a double helix — not genetic mimicry, structural preference. It grew this way on purpose.
Central disc contains a single ocellus. Red. Pulsing at 72 beats per minute. Matches the observer's heart rate within 30 seconds of visual contact. Coincidence has been ruled out. Three observers. Three matching pulses. One observer left the room. The flower slowed down. Waited.
The green luminescence along petal edges does not fade when removed from light sources. It is not bioluminescence. It is bioluminescence's angry cousin. The smoke tendrils wrapping the stem are not vapor. They are root systems that got bored underground.
