Stagnant design predicted demise 20 years before extinction, while another discovery points to link with Flora Futurus
April 21, 2018
Toronto, ON - The final piece of the Florasaurus mystery has fallen into place, according to researchers looking into the remarkable decline and eventual supposed extinction of this once popular and thriving creature.
"Over the past few weeks, since the discovery of the lone surviving Florasaurus, we've been researching through her habitat," said a spokesman for the Florasaurus research team tasked with piecing together the history of the Florasaurus.
"We came across stacks of large binders, many so worn out they are barely held together. These binders contain hundreds of images of floral arrangements, and bear dates as old as the late 1970's. What's truly remarkable here is the lack of evolution displayed in the style of the designs. This discovery has given us a priceless archive of information and paints a precise timeline of events. The stagnation in design correlates directly with the decline in prominence of the local flower shop."
The Florasaurus team has also stated that a comparative look at the work of the Flora Futurus shows a consistent trend towards innovation and experimentation in design. "As with any evolutionary process, there are many "fossils" of missing links, attempts as evolution that failed and died off. However, we can see that the majority of those who opted for innovation succeeded in drawing to themselves the segment of the increasingly fractured flower buying market who were not siphoned off by alternate purchasing methods. This, along with the increasing pressure from new types of competitors left Florasaurus without a sustainable client base."
In related Florasaurus news, a link has been discovered that seems to point to the speciation between the Florasaurus and Flora Futurus. A document was found in the office of the Florasaurus referencing an event that is well documented in Flora Futurus history as being foundational to their evolution. Many indicators show that the Flora Futurus began to thrive around this time. While scientists are unable to reveal the contents of the document at this time, they expect to have further information in two days. "For now, all we can say with certainty is that it there is a hand-written note on the document that says, 'Maybe next year?'"
