All instances of SCP six twenty one are to be
kept in the Site sixteen greenhouse and watered regularly. Seeds
and pollen from SP six twenty one are not to
be released into the wild. No instances of SCP six

(00:28):
twenty one are to be released for commercial trade, given
as gifts, used as props, used as bribes, or stored
in personal offices. Personnel are advised to not look at
SP six twenty one for extended periods of time. A
dendum six twenty one three personnel are advised not to
look at SCP six twenty one through sunglasses, which has

(00:50):
recently been shown to increase SP six twenty one's mental effects.
Only unfiltered lap goggles may be worn around SEP six
twenty one. It should be of additional note that unfiltered
lab goggles, lap glass, or other transparent obstructions will not
shield SCP six twenty one's effects. Any instances of SCP

(01:11):
six twenty one found in the wild are to be
exterminated immediately. Any instances of SCP six twenty one found
in public are to be confiscated, and whoever is in
possession at the time be taken in for questioning. Civilians
actively watering SCP six twenty one in the wild are
to be detained and the instances to be confiscated be

warned that some may use physical force in order to
protect SCP six twenty one. Cross Pollination of SEP six
twenty one species will require clearance from command level personnel.
No cross pollinations may be done for personal reasons. Description
SCP six twenty one is a series of highly invasive
flowering plants originally released by redacted and Prodacted Flower Shop

(01:56):
that have been in the foundation's possession as of redacted day.
These plants, mainly the plant species Ditteer's tulips, are naturally bioluminescent.
Powered by water and other nutrients, these plants glow a
variety of colors, though most instances glow purple, blue, or green.
This bioluminescent effect can be best seen at night or

(02:17):
in a dark area. The effect is only active while
the plants are alive. SEP. Six twenty one, particularly its glow,
seems to have a hypnotizing effect on humans, with numerous
requests by personnel to store them in their personal offices,
all of which have been denied. SCP six twenty one
has varying effects on other animals. When exposed to bees, hummingbirds,

(02:40):
or other cross pollinating animals, All of the animals subjected
have preferred spreading the pollen of SEP six twenty one
as opposed to other flowering plants, and due to its bioluminescence,
are capable of doing this at night, increasing its rate
of reproduction. However, when exposed to herbivores such as deer
orrel rabbits, all of subjected animals have actively avoided SCP

(03:04):
six twenty one. With a high fertility rate, a natural
defense against predators, and a hypnotizing effect on humans, SEP
six twenty one can be deemed a highly effective invasive
species Adndum six twenty one four. Upon further testing, SCP
six twenty one's pollen gives off a strong aroma. SEP
six twenty one is completely hypoallergenic, and when personnel with

(03:27):
allergies are exposed to up to five grams of SEP
six twenty one's pollen, personnel displayed no allergic reactions when
placed around other plants. SEP. Six twenty one supersedes the
nutrients provided to other plants in order to fuel its bioluminescence.
As a result, it quickly drains the soil of nutrients
and requires more water than all other plants in the

(03:48):
Site sixteen greenhouse. Before being actively monitored by the Foundation, SEP.
Six twenty one had uprooted multiple farming pastures, but because
of its hypnotic qualities, nothing had been done to say
stop them. In addition, sympathizers actively watered the invading plants
during their incursions. Although government agencies such as the USDA

(04:09):
and EPA protect against the source of invasive species, said
agencies have actively defended SCP six twenty one at the
expense of commercial farmers. It may be of note that
these farmers have since accepted the situation, citing SEP. Six
twenty one's esthetic superiority to their own crops and their
desire to protect it. The Foundation stepped in when SEP.

(04:29):
Six twenty one began invading a national wildlife preserve, threatening
several instances of both endangered plants and animals. The EPA
refused to hinder the spread of SCP six twenty one,
despite the existential risk to plants and animals, on the
grounds that it would have made the National Wildlife Preserve
more esthetically pleasing. Although Dittier's tulips are the most common

(04:51):
type of SCP six twenty one, there also exist species
of SEP six twenty one that include other types of tulips, roses,
and a few instances of lettuce as as a result
of cross pollination. However, no D class personnel could bring
themselves to eat SP six twenty one, worried about possible
side effects. When force fed, SCP six twenty one induces

(05:12):
intense anxiety and paranoia on the subject, but no other
side effects. This anxiety dissipates upon digestion. This effect has
been seen on multiple test subjects. Addendum six twenty one
to two. In light of doctor redacted's public apology for
hoarding several instances of SEP six twenty one in his
personal office, personnel are no longer allowed to keep any

(05:34):
instances of SP six twenty one in their offices. Note
to everyone asking me to ask the administration to release
it to the public. This is the very reason we're
keeping SEP six twenty one here. I don't care if
it looks cool or if I had a few in
my office for a while. I know firsthand that this
thing has some kind of hypnotizing effect on people, and
something is telling me this plant has possibly evolved for

(05:57):
that very purpose. If our own government agencies won't stop
these things, we will, doctor Z. You can get all
