A tribute to a true Sci-Fi master...
"In the morning, the orchid was fringed with a series of eight dangling tendrils, almost reaching to the ground. They must have developed inside the plant and emerged with -- for the vegetable world -- explosive speed. Hercules stared at the phenomenon with amazement, and went very thoughtfully to work." (From "The Reluctant Orchid" - first published in Satellite - December, 1956; later collected in Tales from the White Hart. )
Sir Arthur, this one's for you!
