    They're freaking plants! They get pollinated by bees and then spread their seeds!

    Seeing as how they are plants I would assume pollination, maybe in the same way as some plants where the spores of the "male" enter the "female" and the "female" releases seed pods which then start to grow, perhaps through the insect life native to the Floran home world? That would make colonization of other planets difficult as they would have to bring the insects with them wherever they were intending to colonize. Unless they still attract insects on other planets. Maybe we could forgo the complications of plant sex and just do things the way we do.

    As a side-note I voted for MAGIC, because I read a comment saying no one did and I had to defy that.

    Mating should be the 4th stretch goal.

    As florans are monosex race, in my opinion, two florans are needed to produce... Er-r... Another floran. In my opinion.

    No. florans have always been unisex. They just wanted a female one because of customization.

    But in all seriousness, take a look from a critical examination of how they're drawn. Don't florans obviously have their flowers (technically their genitals, yanno) on their heads, and would simply germinate like any other plant and just drop off a bulb that grows into a newly budded floran, possibly even having a temporary plant-like phase where the young is rooted in place before developing mobility?

    :V Ridiculous pre-mating rituals in a feigned attempt to mimic society aside.

    Addendum: THIS WOULD TECHNICALLY MEAN THEIR ENTIRE MATING RITUAL INVOLVES -HEAD- RUBBING.

    WE'RE THINKING FROM THE WRONG END OF THE BODY HERE!

    Also...
    What about interracial relations?
    Can floran ma... Er-r, have relations with another race?

    Normal intercourse doesn't work, because there are no genders in the Floran species.
