Ancestor:Descendants:

The sky balloon split off from the sea balloon. It has left the restraints of roots in the soil and has gone into the skies. Its hydrogen filled sacks keep it aloft in the air, and the leafs on the outside of them collect sunlight. A bubble has turned into a bowl and now collects rain water for it to drink, but if there is too much water, the roots work like pipes and empty out the excess water (or hydrogen, if it needs to get to a lower altitude). These same pipes can suck in moisture from their air in dryer environments. The plant has also adapted to cope with low minerals and gets as much as it can from the dust particles in the air. Like the sea balloon, it will make bubbles about the size of its predecessor's bubbles, to float off and make new offspring. It can be found globally in the atmosphere.
