A core idea of Richard Dawkins's second book “The extended phenotype” is that genes can also select for anything affecting the environment of the organism - i.e. genes for characteristics/behaviours that are external to the organism itself.

So there could be a gene selecting for getting watered by humans (e.g. via wilting or colour).

This can also create a connection between genes and memes e.g. a new flower characteristic could be genetic but affect popular memetic choice.

The concept is hard to grok & explain, so beware that there's a good chance I've misunderstood and mistranslated the idea.

Why should it be hard to grok? Selection just happens, it doesn't "care" if it's natural or based on human preferences. Even human-free selection doesn't guarantee a long run since genes can paint themselves into a corner (see natural extinctions). Iow, it's what it is.

Pretty sure natural and artificial selection have distinct properties. As do self selection and symbiosis, and even symbiosis/parasitism.
