In science fiction, beings with Bizarre Alien Biology, or in fantasy, magical beings, which would then overlap with Nature Spirit, don't have to be created through typical biological processes. This trope is when beings are grown out of plants. It's a form of magical, non-sexual birth, in a similar vein to Delivery Stork. The beings may come from flowers, fruit or vegetable plants or trees. The beings may look like regular beings or they may look different and/or have different powers or abilities. As well, the plant-grown beings may be good and benevolent or they may be evil, malicious beings. The idea may come from the fact that in nature, fruit is born from flowers, so this trope basically applies this concept to sentient beings. Compare Plant Person, who may or may not be born from a plant, but does show plant-like characteristics, and Grows on Trees, which is for things that grow on trees, specifically. This may also be how a Wonder Child is created. |

The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter: A bamboo cutter finds a tiny thumb-sized, glowing baby inside a bamboo stem. He takes her home to his wife and they name her Kaguya-hime. She grows up to a normal-sized, unearthly beauty who many men, including the Emperor, fall in love with. She ends up returning to whence she came, the moon. This space alien subtext is stronger depending on the variation you read. | |

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978): The body snatchers take the form of flowers that touch a person, and then form a pod from where the original dies when their emotionless duplicate emerges, making the "kill" part of Kill and Replace, essentially automatic. | |

Momotarō: The titular boy is discovered by an old couple inside a giant peach, taking the place of the peach pit. In older versions of the story, Momotaro was their biological child, and eating the peach instead made the old couple young enough to have children. | |

Mushishi features this with Setsu, a woman who was born from a bamboo shoot in a forest where the Magaridake mushi resides. To some extent her life force is tied to it as well, since the water she drinks from it is what keeps her alive, and constitutes most of her body. Killing it kills her and her daughter after only half a year. At the end of the chapter, both mother and daughter have been reborn in the bamboo shoots that grew over their graves, since a new Magaridake took residence in their bamboo thicket. | |

Urikohime and the Amanojaku: Urikohime is a woman born from a melon. Technically "uri" means any cucurbit, but the common interpretation is specifically a melon. Her Evil Counterpart, the amanojaku, rarely is also born from a melon. | |

Everquest II: The Fae are born from a special flower in a nursery not far off from the city of Kelethin. The race's affinity to nature means that whenever they pass away from natural causes or old age, their spirit is deposited into the flowers where a new Fae is born in a cycle of reincarnation. The Dark Elves of Neriak managed to steal away some of those flowers and used magic to corrupt them, leading to the creation of the evil Arasai race. | |

This is how everyone is born in the world of The Twelve Kingdoms. Special magical trees grow in every village, town and city and when a married couple pray to the heaven's before one a fruit may bud that when grown to a large enough size will split to produce a human infant (with individual branches marked to tell which fruit belongs to which couple). Not just people either, animals as well with similar trees being kept in villages for domestic livestock while ones deep in the woods produce wild animals and youkai while a single tree on a holy mountain gives birth to the Kirin for all of the twelve titular kingdoms as needed. | |

In the Mabinogion, the perfect woman Blodeuwedd is created from the flowers and growing things of the earth: her hair is effectively made of flowers. Later, for her sins and heartlessness, she is turned into the first owl and fated to haunt the night — the flowers that became human hair now mutate into feathers. | |
