Plants live in a physically consistent environment, visually composed of submitted images (user uploaded with tagged connection points and behaviors), whose strengths - and in turn, selection pressures - are weighted by user votes.


[I like this plant] [This plant might be offensive]


The user community will shape successful species (see Darwin and Dawkins) by voting for beautiful, compelling plants. Humans are the weather.


A plant's genetic code is a set of function-based behaviors that combine with images (and tag data) to define a grammar that articulates how plants grow and interact with the virtual world they live in.
