Plants that might kill you

Petal didn’t start out menacing. She was just a little sprout in a sunny windowsill, humming to herself and keeping mostly to her own pot. But one day, a fly buzzed by and—snap!—Petal discovered her purpose. It wasn’t hunger exactly. It was justice. Since then, Petal’s reputation has grown. Neighbors say she whispers to dust bunnies, warning them to behave. Others claim she hums lullabies when the lights go out—soft, sweet, and just a little unsettling. When she was adopted by Riley, a self-proclaimed “serial plant killer,” everyone was skeptical. But Petal thrived. Within a week, Riley’s other houseplants were suddenly perky, as if… motivated. Petal denies any involvement. She just smiles that toothy little smile and says, “Encouragement works wonders.” Now she sits proudly on a bookshelf, the undisputed queen of the greenery, keeping watch with her sly pink grin.
