No one ever heard the official version of the birds and the bees. Instead other metaphors are used for nature and where we came from.

Originally elemental matter is made by nuclear reactions in stars. Before the elements, stars were made by gravity spinning nothingness. About twelve billion years later matter became plants and eventually blackberries bursted with moistful  temporariness before dropping as dried pons into the earth.  From the soil flowering weedish trees sent blooming flowers, colored delicious pinks, advertising skyward inner mysterious folds of  potentiality.

Thereafter all plants have a brief magnificent explosive blooming.  Later hostas emerged which could be easily split with even the smaller half surviving the disruption. Hosatas avoided the sunlight preferring dark low shady ground seldom blooming, being ignored by bees and birds.
