Hot House Flowers

by John H. Wilson

The story is set in a greenhouse. The flowers there are of all shapes, sizes and colors. The flowers which grow in the wild outside are jealous of the flowers who live in the hot house, so one of the flowers from the outside sends its spores into the hot house to grow there. The flowers of the hot house are wary of the new plants, but some of the flowers castigate the others, telling them to welcome the strangers. Pretty soon, it is obvious that the new plants are weeds, taking over the water and soil of the hot house flowers; however, some of the flowers are still trying to make the weeds feel "welcome." Before the flowers are all choked off by the weeds, the master of the hot house comes home, clears out the weeds, reminds the flowers of all the good He has given them, and charges them with the defense of their hot house. The next time the outside flowers send spores into the hot house, the flowers are ready.
