Item #: SCP-3561-JP
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Seeds of SCP-3561-JP are to be contained in a standard seed depository at Bio-Site-103. Once every ten years, about ten personnel are to be assigned to grow SCP-3561-JP instances on a rotating basis to collect the seeds; this must be conducted in an indoor radio-opaque plant growth area to prevent the spread of radio waves.
Description: SCP-3561-JP is a species of morning glory (Ipomoea nil) with anomalous properties. The plant body of SCP-3561-JP constantly emits an electromagnetic wave with a wavelength of approximately █ μm (designated SCP-3561-JP-A), the intensity of which increases in the order of seed < leaf/stem < flower. In addition, the number of flowers SCP-3561-JP blooms depends on how many humans have stayed within a ten meter radius of it for a prolonged period of time.1 Therefore, SCP-3561-JP instances surrounded by more humans bloom more flowers in proportion, and SCP-3561-JP-A emitted is also enhanced accordingly.
Addendum: SCP-3561-JP was discovered in 19██ by Agent Beeko, who had stayed in Japan for intelligence gathering objectives, and its seeds were recovered.2 Agent Beeko's field research indicated that SCP-3561-JP was developed by █████████, a civilian parabotanist in Hiroshima, and later widely circulated among the civilian population. In Japan, then in wartime, it was reportedly recognized as "a morning glory blooming as many flowers as people loved it," and was actively grown for ornamental purposes in flowerbeds in urban households and other places frequented by people, where it was favorably received by the public.
Due to the fact that SCP-3561-JP-A was easily detectable from the sky by radar, and that areas with high emissions were considered densely populated by the United States, SCP-3561-JP is not currently present in Japan, with all related documents also presumed to have been destroyed.
