Network flower
The Network Flower (or Internet Rose, lat. flos netaeris), is the only known non-organic species. The flowers are based on copper, various other metals, and synthetic materials. Unlike common plants, network flowers do not depend on the availability of water and sunlight, but on electricity and bits. Both are usually provided by computers, routers, switches, and other devices with which the flowers live in close symbiosis. Fully developed, internet roses provide sweet data in the form of bytes. Little is known about the metabolism and reproduction circle of this lifeform. Network flowers tend to build superorganisms similar to some kinds of ants or fungi. Some scientists believe that the largest of these superorganisms is world-spanning, the so-called word wide web.
