Plot summary

Linh's new friends

Outside the Tenoo Jedi Temple, Linh works in the Temple garden. Kai Brightstar comes with a bag of soil and Linh talks about her love for gardening. She also mentions that Nubs is an avid gardener. When Brightstar asks about Nubs, the Poobian rushes over with a datapad. He shows them the image of a barelia flower, a rare flower which Linh is familiar with. She says that there is only one such flower on the planet Tenoo. Consulting the datapad, they find that it only thrives under specific conditions and blooms once a year when both of Tenoo's moons are full, producing one new seed.

Nubs tells his friends that the barelia flower is expected to bloom tonight. Brightstar invites Linh along to watch the barelia flower bloom. Linh is wary of leaving the Temple gardens but Brightstar convinces her to explore her new home surroundings. Linh reluctantly agrees and leaves with the two fellow Jedi younglings.

While walking through the Tenoo tree forest, Linh is startled by the cawing of a Karnis bird. When she asks if it is safe here, Brightstar reassures her that the forest is safe. Reaching a waterfall, Linh admires several large colorful birds but is startled by a pair of sciuridi, prompting her to ignite her lightsaber. The three Jedi reach the coordinates of the barelia flower but discover that it is missing. They find a mound of earth on its spot. Linh fears that if the plant is uprooted, it would not be able to sprout a new flower.

The missing plant

The Jedi resolve to recover the barelia flower. Nubs spots several square droid footprints. The Jedi follow the trail. Linh is nervous but the other younglings encourage her. The three reach a greenhouse. Brightstar figures that whoever is inside could help them explain where the barelia flower is. The younglings also find a pair of farm droids pruning several plants. One of the droids eyes the younglings as they hurry past. The three Jedi younglings find the barelia flower in a pot on a table inside the green house. Linh notices that flower is drooping.

The three younglings are soon confronted by an elderly human woman with bushy white hair named Prue Canti. Canti attempts to shoo them away with a broom but Linh manages to speak to her about the barelia flower. Canti regards the barelia flower as the latest in her collection of fragile flora. She explains that her droids brought it to her this morning and believes she knows what is best for the plant. Before she can shoo the younglings away with her broom, Nubs explains that it is a barelia flower. Canti can understand Poobian but insists that the plant was taken home because it was sick.

Linh explains that the barelia plant is sick because it has been uprooted. Nubs and Brightstar attempt to reason with her but she is unwilling to listen to the children and sends a loadlifter droid armed with a fork to drive them. Brightstar fends off the droid with his lightsaber while Linh and Nubs attempt to recover the flower. Canti dispatches a second loadlifter droid that is armed with a shovel. Nubs trips up the droid while Brightstar tussles with the first loadlifter droid, causing a cupboard containing plants to shake. While Canti attempts to her plants. Linh runs past a tree and attempts to recover the barelia plant. However, she is stopped by Canti, who attempts to force her to give up. Brightstar and Nubs have been captured by the droids.

Reasoning with Prue

Linh spots a pot of ferns and runs out, sliding under one of the droids. Canti follows her but is unwilling to step outside the greenhouse. She demands that Linh return the fern. When Linh reiterates their demand for the barelia flower, Canti replies that outside is not safe. Linh tells Canti that she can understand her love for plants and compliments her greenhouse. Linh shows Canti a datapad explaining that the barelia plant only thrives in its natural habitat and blooms when Tenoo's two moons are full tonight.

Canti apologizes for her mistake and orders her droids to release the younglings. After returning the datapad to Linh, Canti looks at the barelia flower one last time before returning it to Linh. She allows Linh to leave with her fellow Jedi younglings. Linh invites Canti to accompany them for the barelia plant's blooming. Canti is reluctant until Linh convinces her to explore her surroundings and promises to be there for her.

Later that night, the younglings and Canti watch as the barelia flower sprout under the two full moons above Tenoo and produces a purple seed. Canti describes the sight as amazing. Linh says that the Jedi Temple gardens are amazing but that Tenoo also has natural beauty outside.
