Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-XXXX are currently kept at Bio Site-103, in a standard greenhouse environmental cell. A therapist is to be assigned once every week for consultation.

Description: SCP-XXXX refers to a variety of flowers that are from a plant nursery located in Detroit, Michigan.

When left unobserved, an SCP-XXXX instance will call out for attention by mumbling the phrases “where are you” and “come back” in a high pitched voice. This will continue until a human being is within its radius.

SCP-XXXX instances have the outward appearance of common tulips, however they are shown to have miscellaneous organs and appendages embedded into their roots. These instances do not absorb nutrition from soils, instead consuming organic foods. A mature instance is able to expand it’s popularity through a form of mitosis. On random occasions, it will look for its “owner” by expanding it’s roots and sprout a new plant.

When a human being is near an SCP-XXXX instance, it will attempt to converse with them. These conversations last from 5 to 10 minutes. Should an instance feel threatened, they will attempt to hide.

SCP-XXXX was discovered in a residential block after rumors of a “talking flower” had surfaced.

Addendum XXXX-1: As of 11/3/18, there are 35 instances contained within Site-103.

Addendum XXXX-2: If an SCP-XXXX instance is sad, it will begin wilting. This will last for approximately 30 minutes.
