I woke up this morning wanting to know more about the sentient roses who built the AI.

How did they become sentient? Cross breeding gone wild? Genetic experimentation? Cosmic rays? Radioactive fertilizer? Viral manipulation? Genetic potential waiting to be released? Was it the Chinese again?
Were they already sentient and we didn't know?
Did they form nation states? Were knockout roses the most aggressive? Was there racism based on color?
What happened to the bees? Did young roses post polination pictures on their bedroom walls.
Why did the roses need an AI?
Why did the AI kill them?
Did the AI kill the humans, the roses, both, everything?
Was the AI developed as an instrument of war?
Did roses and mankind coexist?
Was man still sacrificing roses a dozen at a time in love offeripngs to their mates?
How did the roses feel about that?
Did they consider that their ultimate destiny??Or was there outrage>
Did the AI piggyback on AI advances of man, or did they build their own?
Did some rose rudely uprooted and placed in a software development office get the idea for AI?
How thorny did it get before the end?
Did pot play a role?
Were most roses still grounded?
Did the roses build giant greenhouse cities?
Did they have a system of government?

Why did the cosmic beings take such a long time to say anything? Was it that anything worth saying was worth taking a long time to say it?
