    About this ebook

    A whole planet where flowers are the dominant species, and evolved to fill mobile roles as well as sedentary ones. Orchida, an apprentice herbalist in her culture, follows a strange hunch, and finds what may be the cure for her Garden's fertility problem. She finds much more than a cure though.

    Amethyst Stormrider

    Amethyst Stormrider is a 30 something woman living in a small former logging town at the base of a very tall, snowy, and increasingly stirring volcano in Northern California. She has two children, one who is autistic and one that has chronic anxiety and depression, both of which she loves dearly and who both live with her. All money that she generates from the sales of her stories she uses in providing for her children and her daughter's cat.She also writes under Teresa Garcia and as LadyRainStarDragon. As Teresa Garcia she has several books published by THG StarDragon Publishing, and in the Megalithica/Immanion anthology “Women's Voices in Magic.” She must share her room with books she has collected over the years, and her son's collection of Transformers that seem to always be taking over the house – to her daughter's great dismay.

      Please note that the following story does contain sexual elements and is not intended, nor encouraged, to be read by those under the age of 18. All characters involved in such scenes are above the age of maturity. The story explores a planet of thinking and mobile plant beings, and what such a culture might be like, so if you do not feel up to an erotic, literal flower sci-fi, please consider yourself warned. Hopefully my walking flowers are more interesting than one might think at first. They certainly surprised me and evolved much more than I expected.

      The black sky faded to midnight purple, and then to amethyst as the dawn of Jardinia bloomed. The night's rain began to steam and rise again from the ground, though the light still shone bright enough in the thick atmosphere to pick out gem drops beaded on leaves and running lightly off the living, breathing houses of the village-Garden of Zan.

      Orchida woke early, before the others of her Garden stirred from their beds. Eight seasons had rolled by, and none of the Garden's Flos, plant people, had brought forth viable offspring. They were born, sure enough, but wilted quickly, mere months after passing from their mother into the sun and air. A most unusual problem, for this Garden, that at least was not unknown. The Flos of other Gardens across Jardinia all had the
