Herbert George Wells (1866 – 1946) was a prolific English writer of science fiction stories and novels, and is frequently credited as being the father of science fiction.
"The Flowering of the Strange Orchid" is a creepy horror story about an orchid collector who buys an unknown species from the Andaman Islands.
