Seymour Krelboin, a nebbishy lad who works in Mushnik's Skid Row Flower Shop, is in love with Mr. Mushnik's daughter Audrey. By crossing a butterwort with a Venus's-flytrap, Seymour creates a new plant type, which he calls Audrey Jr. and which, it happens, feeds on human blood.

...fruit of the Ombu tree, remove its outer layer and allow the seed to germinate. The tree grows, plays host to a moth that fertilizes the Amela tree-upon which the island's economy depends. Will the London plutocrats get their way? Will Zenkali perish? Will Peter entice Audrey into his sleeping...
