Applying What I Read to What I See
This very psychedelic design of this flower can be explained by Chapter 4 of Survival of the Sickest. This chapter talked about mutations and "jumping" genes. This flower has clearly had some form of mutation within it's genetic code because off the hippie-trippy color scheme. This mutation could have been caused by selective breeding performed by a flower breeder or similar effects could have been achieved through years of the flower surviving whether or not this mutation is actually beneficial to the flower. It has probably taken countless generations of flowers for this flower to get the mutation that it has now.
Using what I learned from reading Chapter 3 of Your Inner Fish, I can understand exactly what happened to this horrifically "freaky" looking hand. The extra digits were likely caused by an excess of skin cells, caused by too much of the ZPA gene. This overall excess of skin cells, led to the development of the extra digits that would likely be deemed "freakish" by modern society; however, this young mutant could possibly possess an extreme advantage over the rest of us. In my humble opinion, I believe that he should be...
...such a clever X-Men reference
