User blog comment:GamerNerd i/Piecing Together Plant Ancestry (PvZ2)/@comment-24997934-20160226130644

Sorry in advance for the really long comment. Here are my thoughts so far: 1. Blover should be descended from Hurrikale, as they both have a pushing wind aspect to their use. 2. Sunflower and Twin Sunflower should be switched, and Spikerock should be descended from Spikeweed, in the same line of logic as having Tall-Nut being descended from Wall-Nut. 3. In Kernel-Pult's PvZ1 Almanac entry, it's stated that he's the oldest of three brothers, and it is revealed that Melon-Pult is the middle child in his PvZ2 Almanac entry. Perhaps those two plus Winter Melon are descended from Cabbage-Pult, with Kernel-Pult appearing first, Melon-Pult second and Winter Melon third, which fits the timeline aspect perfectly. 4. Tile Turnip should be descended from Gold Leaf, as both create a tile type. 5. Marigold is descended from (or at least related to) Sunflower, since they're both producers of something. 6. Perhaps Infi-Nut is descended from Wall-Nut and not Tall-Nut, due to similarity in shape to the former. 7. The as-of-yet upcoming plant Gold Bloom should be descended from a sun-producing plant (for the obvious reason) and Power Lily (since both are instants that produce something the player can use rather than killing zombies). 8. All of the freezing/chilling plants should be related to each other, same with the fiery plants. The two groups should also be connected at Snapdragon+Cold Snapdragon (who are cousins according to the latter's Almanac entry) and maybe at Fire Peashooter+Snow Pea (or at least their most recent common ancestor). Also, it's not exactly clear in the current diagram of which plant is Melon-Pult's and Winter Melon's ancestor. Please fix this! As for including PvZ1 plants, I think: 1. Gloom-Shroom should be descended from both Fume-Shroom (since they both use fumes to attack) and Phat Beet (as both attack in a 3x3 area). 2. Cattail should be descended from both Lily Pad (both aquatic) and Homing Thistle (same attack method). 3. Flower Pot is somehow related to Lily Pad. 4. Gold Magnet should be descended from Marigold (they're both money-related) and Magnet-Shroom (obviously). 5. Gatling Pea should be descended from Repeater, but separately from Threepeater. Maybe the lines could join back up at Pea Pod. 6. Plantern should be related to the sun producers (since it glows) and maybe descended from Lava Guava (as both emit something).
