Replacing its ancestor, the '''greater sporeflower''' is both very similar and very different then the [[sporeflower]]. In order to better spread its genes, the greater sporeflower gains a bright red color during fall, that attracts the [[Sporivorous Dartir|sporivorous dartir]], which feeds on the spores released from the
In order to support its large size and spore production, the greater sporeflower has a wide, but shallow, root system that breaks down organic material. These roots commonly wrap around those of larger flora nearby, breaking down the outer surface of the roots while they are alive, and decaying them completely when they die. Should the flower be eaten, it can be regrown, but will usually not produce spores for a year, however, in order to prevent this from happening, the flower produces a slight poison that causes the throat of plents that eat it to swell, not causing death but certainly unpleasant enough to deter most would-be consumers (sporivorous dartir, not being plents, are immune to this).
