The swampgrove flowerworm replaced its ancestor, the pink swamp flowerworm. Many of them suffocated under the mud and oxygen depleted muck. Those with taller roots survived and became swampgrove flowerworm. Along with having a taller stronger tongue-root its trunk and wing-leaves got lighter. It also grew more leaves on each branch to absorb even more sunlight.
Like its ancestors its eggs grow around the base of the roots. Once they hatch they drop into the water or mud and drift until they reach a new location to root in. Like their ancestor, their attractive flower has a bright pink color and an attractive smell. The sweeter nectar, attracts nectarivores such as the xenobee.
