Pollinator $100 - Pollinators include bees, birds, bats, butterflies, moths, and beetles—they move pollen between flowers, enabling plants to produce seeds and fruit.

Blossom $75 - Blossoms are the adult stage of the flower focused on reproduction through pollination, often relying on insects, wind, or water to transfer pollen.

Bud $50 - Buds are the early, protective stages of the flower, setting the stage for reproduction.

Germinator $35 -Germinators facilitate the conditions under which, the seed absorbs water, the shell splits, and roots grow downward, while a shoot pushes upward, using stored energy
