    fertilize by transfering pollen
    Biomimicry follows Life’s principles that instruct to: build from the bottom up, optimize rather than maximize free energy use, self-assemble, cross-pollinate, adapt and evolve, embrace diversity, adapt, use life-friendly materials, engage in symbiotic relationships, and enhance the bio-sphere.
  2. mimesis
    imitative or realistic representation in art and literature
    Biomimicry comes from the word bios, meaning of life and mimesis, meaning to imitate.
