flowers for algernon

Indigo finished collecting his very first plant, the Valerian would be useful to any healer than knew half a lick. The pup didn’t know what to call it, didn’t know what it might do if he ate any of it. Though the many healers in the pack had already rid the most accessible poisonous plants the boy still didn’t know any better.

His brother’s idea perked his interest, what if he gave her the big flowers outside the den? Surely if they brought those inside for the bouquet his mother would be even more impressed with his gift. Indy had planned a few more wildflowers, but maybe one big and the plant he’d just collected would do the trick. ”That’s not a bad idea, Az.” Indy mused as he admired the plants he’d just harvested. ”Alright, now the big one.”

Indigo led the way back to the den a few quick strides. The sunflowers were easy enough to spot, after he put his valerian down he tried to decide which one was the biggest. After a moment of thought the boy chose and approached the flower to stunt all other flowers.
