The Strange Orchid by HG Wells - Full Audiobook | Sci-Fi Short Stories

A full unabridged audiobook of the classic science-fiction, "The Strange Orchid", by HG Wells - complete with sounds and visuals.
After an orchid-enthusiast complains of a lack of excitement in his life, he is persuaded to buy a mysterious flower from a dealer. Before long, this new orchid begins to display signs that this may not just be another run-of-the-mill plant.
The story was first published in the 2nd August 1894 edition of the Pall Mall Budget and subsequently included in The Stolen Bacillus and Other Incidents (1895) and The Country of the Blind and Other Stories (1911).

Your diction is lovely and clear as well as expressive. Thank you.

[@classicaudiobookswithelliot]

Thank you Ruth! It’s a cracking little story, this one ❤️ 🎧

WOWZERS…I just noticed the surreal layering of the orchid on the video in movement…🎉

[@classicaudiobookswithelliot]

Such a strange tale this one…

[@evelanpatton]

@@classicaudiobookswithelliot oh yes, I love it. In fact, I was just talking with my friend earlier in the day about how difficult the orchid is to maintain & get to flower, so I had to rewatch this story.
I really enjoy how innocent the main character is, so much that he is lamenting never having anything AWEsome in his life (good or bad), and then the perils of nature nurture his need.

Brandy and pink extract of meat ! oddly my local would not serve me that particular drink.

[@classicaudiobookswithelliot]

Yes you have to know the publican very well to ask for that!

I suppose this was the inspiration for "Little Shop of Horrors"?

[@classicaudiobookswithelliot]

Quite possibly! Certainly a macabre tale
