I don''t think that the houseplant literally invented art. But I do find the equivalent of art in the structures of houseplants, structures generated by the necessities of life. We see the same kinds of structures, movement, consistency in the world and that is what makes our art. I love going on these little tours and finding the beauty of ordinary places.

If not directly inventing what we eventually do, their being/design, inspires us to go from that starting point.

I'm not so sure they didn't invent art, or at least develop it. Check out

She argues, rather convincingly that, for Darwin, organisms chose their colors out of their taste for beauty, and that his view is quite plausible.

Very interesting. I wonder if the origin of art goes as deep as cell structure.
