how should Florans mate?

I. Pre dance plus butt rub ritual
II. Then mating either self or cross pollination based on their status
III. Finally the seeds produced are placed in the sacred sprout garden
IV. Emergency action to ensure survival of species. Well they are flowering plants and if no mates are available they can reproduce asexually. If they some how get major damage to the flower they will snap off limbs and plant them. Then root in the ground regrowing parts using ground nutrients and photosynthesis.

seed garden idea: Wataru
butt rubbing: Rho
Self/Cross polination:Most people
Emergency limb plantind: Fox Soul/Waturu/Serenity

 

I think they should... (a little bit NSFW so don't click show until you are sure ceiling cat is not watching)

jerk it onto each other, and then spore dust flies out and pollinates the flowers on their head, then like a bud appears and then a tiny floran shows up a few months later

 

As goddang silly it is, everyone can keep their exotic butt dance but it should have no part in the actual combining of DNA. That part would be VERY plant-like no matter how you slice it. I can see them surviving through plant clippings, cross pollination, and asexual pollination.

 

That is why it is a ritual.

 

Butt rubbing How do you people even come up with this stuff ?

 

I'm terrified into believing a good number of the people in this thread believe it actually DOES something.

 

This is the origin.

 

Indeed they are living and moving plants, but considering how evolution works we might very well need to know what species they came from and whether or not they reproduce in the same way as their ancestors did. Personally I would assume that it was different in a few ways, less necessary to utilize insects and more then likely they would be able to do it more similarly to us as a result of having more freedom of movement.

 

I think the topics in this thread have gone far enough. Locking it up.
