The cardiaflorm split from their ancestors. Without predators they have be able to balloon in size. They get their name from the heart shaped budding and their incredibly enduring nature, needed for surviving in the mountains. They live near the river, creating buds every spring when the river swells that float down river with the thawing mountain snow. Each year millions of buds die by being washed out to sea, but enough survive to continue to next year. If necessary, the cardiaflorm are able to produce spores that are taken in by others during the fall, allowing the buds to have greater genetic diversity come springtime. Like most purple flora, they photosynthesize with their purple chloroplasts and convert yellow sunlight. They act as a secondary successors to the biomes of the Gec river basin.
