The roots had begun to demand more.
No longer content within their smaller vessels, the chosen plants of Eldritch Gardens were transferred into greater chambers, black containers vast enough to house the expanding hunger beneath the soil.
Plant #1 — The Fat One — emerged as the largest presence within the garden. Broad, vigorous, and deeply rooted in its new domain, it stood like some ancient green monolith beneath the false sun.
Plant #2 — The Battered One — continued its unnatural ascent through the ranks of growth. Node after node unfolded with terrifying efficiency, each new layer arriving before the others.
The crimson coloration remained. The pale markings upon certain leaves lingered like cryptic symbols written in chlorophyll and flesh. Perhaps the LEDs demanded a price.
Plant #5 — The Red One — Though still alive and developing, Yellow hues now crept softly through parts of the foliage, subtle as old parchment aging beneath candlelight. The red stems deepened further, veins illuminated beneath the cold LED glow like blood beneath translucent skin.
