I guess I never expected the story to go the way it went. Well done, you!

Very well written.
Are you going to go further with the story?

This is a plausible, relevant story. Well done.

It's so important to try to see things from different angles and this is such a potent image of a homeless person.

This is really heart touching. I love it.

This is such an interesting perspective, and I think you maneuvered it extremely well. My only suggestion is more variance of length in sentences, otherwise it was lovely!

This is a good fusion of science and allegory. I see the parallel between seed an immigrant, but there is some botanical truth here as well. Plants many people think are native were introduced long ago by humans, and it has been said 'a weed is only a plant where you don't want it.' There is a risk, in this kind of allegory, of imposing too many human preconceptions on nature. You have avoided that here.
