When people write novelty slush stories, they will incorporate one of every mistake they've seen in workshops (one Tom Swiftly, one hero with 2 arms who wields 3 weapons, one ridiculous technobabble, one Jewish Princess joke in a world with no Jews, one unintentional rhyme, etc.), not have the same problems throughout. It will be like one of those puzzles where you circle the hidden words.

Stills from the movie show the garden scene. [1] The garden scene
*as filmed* differs from the earlier Hollywood treatment shown above.
The eight foot venomous vines still appear, but the cane bit got left on
the cutting room floor. The dialogue is more compact in the movie.
The second sentence of my original post should say:
The venomous vine of anger only appears in the Hollywood
treatment, not the 1956 story.

I find amusing that a google search for "alien plants" is dominated by rather ordinary plants growing wildly in new places. A search for "alien plants SF" gave me the TV Tropes link I previously cited, but also had a bunch of articles about rather ordinary plants growing wildly in San Francisco. -- We are geeks.

Per http://io9.com/5102036/science-fictions-deadliest-plants , I suddenly realize that nobody's mentioned tomatoes yet. From the comments of the above link, El Seed from The Tick. Elsewhere in the comments, was a mention of Poison Ivy from the Batman universe. I grew up on the DC side of the comics divide, but never encountered her. -- We are geeks.
