Overview

"Such Blooming Talk" by L. Major Reynolds is a science fiction short story written in the early 1950s. The narrative revolves around a scientist named Henderson, whose innovative experiments lead to the unexpected development of talking and walking plants. This whimsical tale explores themes of scientific curiosity and the humorous consequences of discovery. The plot kicks off as Henderson is engrossed in his work, successfully creating a small plant that can walk and talk. This moment of triumph is quickly interrupted by a series of comedic events when other plants, including his mother's geranium, gain the ability to move and express themselves. Hilarity ensues as the geranium ventures out to answer a persistent doorbell, and a rose bush outside the door complains about having been picked. The story humorously captures the chaos of Henderson's revolutionary scientific breakthrough, blending elements of absurdity and charm as the plants express their personalities and frustrations.
