The issue of gender and the Flowers is a perennial (if you'll excuse the pun) one amongst members of the PPC. Some hold that Flowers have actual genders, and are bound to them. Others claim that they are mere honorifics, similar to the names adopted by the Firstborn. For example, the Kudzu has been identified by various agents as male or female at different times. This may mean that Flowers may choose or change their own genders, or simply be assigned genders by individuals from gendered races.

  • The issue of gender and the Flowers is a perennial (if you'll excuse the pun) one amongst members of the PPC. Some hold that Flowers have actual genders, and are bound to them. Others claim that they are mere honorifics, similar to the names adopted by the Firstborn. Gender itself is not physical but psychological, and also societal in nature to humans and many binary-sexed species. It is different from sex, which indicates male and female chromosomes, hormonal profiles, and sex organs. Thus, the only real clues to the possible gender of Flowers come from the social cues that they themselves provide—which may or may not be entirely clear. For example, the Kudzu has been identified by various agents as male or female at different times. This may mean that Flowers may choose or change their own genders, or simply be assigned genders by individuals from gendered races. In the Real World, a flower is the reproductive organ of a plant, though flowers often do not have a binary sex; flowers most often contain both male and female organs in the same bloom.
