Well, this is my first SCP. Any and all suggestions welcome. I do have more planned, but I didn't want it to happen too quickly.

I want to have a garden full of this.
That'll show those damn deer eating my azaleas.
As much as I enjoy the concept…
Further examination has revealed the prevalence of the plant throughout North America.
This really isn't the sort of thing that could be loose all over in the wild for a long time without attracting some sort of widespread attention. "Oh, a crazy, physics-defying carniverous plant. My, would you look at that. They seem to be all over the country."
There also doesn't appear to be anything checking its growth or hunger; it would depopulate and cover surrounding areas extremely quickly. It sounds like a fairly dangerous completely uncontained Keter from the way I'm reading it. I'm surprised nobody else has already said this.
"Burned until only ashes remain" could be better expressed as "incinerated", along with the other instances of "burn" in the article. The author even uses the word "incinerated" once at the end of the Incident Report.
I second that… Year old suggestion…
Edit: Sorry about necroposting (which is a killer word btw) it was unintended. Dr. Nostrand just said exactly what i was going to say.
Yeah, this has that Old SCP smell (just like that "new car" smell, only different, and bad). It's not a bad idea, but needs cleanup. A few things:
Tone in general, as Djoric said.
Please get rid of the "Agent randomly saw it" bit. One of my pet peeves. Yep, I took a walk in the park last week and hey, wow, anomalous carnivorous plants all over the damn place.
The idea that this thing makes some kind of "plant people" out of its victims…OK, cool. The idea that the Foundation burned them immediately, instead of containing them for a while to see what interesting thing they might do…lame. This is where there was a chance to write up a really good effect, and the author threw it away.

This SCP has been put up for review as it has not had very much attention since it was posted back in 2008. Please take the time to read it and see what you think.

I think the concept itself still has charm to it. It fills the "keter plant" category better than a giant venus flytrap.
The concept's fine, and I like the tale that goes with it, but I think the tone could use some cleanup.
