Flowers will move to track the Sun through the day. (See “heliotropism.”)
Tonight I went out to the front yard about an hour after sunset, still a bit of light in the western sky.
Down by the mailbox, it was strinking how the flowers were all lined up, all pointing west. It was spooky, like, 1960’s British, low-budget, horror movie sort of spooky.
There were still a few solar photons creeping over the horizon, and by god, they were going to photosynthesize them OR KNOW THE REASON WHY!
I was very careful to not let my shadow fall on them. Never underestimate the potential power of eldritch horror lurking in the innocent flowers at the beginning of a 1960’s British, low-budget, horror movie!
Professor Quatermass taught us that.
