  A year after a devastating global meteor shower, botanist Dr. Elena Vasquez discovers something extraordinary in an Amazon impact crater: an impossibly beautiful alien flower with shimmering, otherworldly petals and an intoxicating fragrance. These "Astraflora" begin appearing worldwide, captivating humanity with their ethereal beauty and becoming a global obsession. 
  Marcus Chen, a San Francisco florist, becomes one of the first victims of what the flowers truly are—a sophisticated alien intelligence using beauty as a weapon. The Astraflora's golden pollen contains microscopic spores that infiltrate human nervous systems, causing rapid-onset dementia that transforms victims into zombie-like "Hollows" before their bodies explosively release millions more spores. 
  Despite warnings from Elena and CDC epidemiologist Dr. Sarah Williams, the world remains enchanted by the flowers until it's too late. The Astraflora spread exponentially through cultivation and natural dispersal, triggering a pandemic that collapses human civilization within months. Only one percent of humanity proves genetically immune to the spores' effects. 
  The immune survivors, led by Elena's research group, retreat to remote sanctuaries as cities fall silent and nature begins reclaiming the Earth. The Hollows become gardeners of the alien flowers, tending vast carpets of Astraflora that transform the planet's ecology. Over decades, the survivors learn that the aliens aren't destroyers but cosmic gardeners—an ancient intelligence that travels between worlds, helping species transcend their limitations or removing those that threaten planetary health. 
  Fifty years later, humanity has adapted to coexist with the Astraflora consciousness, developing symbiotic relationships that enhance human capabilities. Two centuries on, Earth has become a living paradise where humans and aliens form a hybrid consciousness, eventually making contact with a galactic network of similarly transformed worlds.
