None of them are even remotely plausible, other than y own (which, inexplicably, has not received the recognition it deserves). Since I don't have the foggiest idea what to vote for, I'll go for the foggy 4 and 5.

Dave – I love the idea of a Zizyphus lotus, which presumably keeps pushing its seeds uphill, only to see them fall back down. However, I find it implausible.

 

I’ll go for the mechanical options - 9 and 11.

My def also has been neglected (I can't think why). Anyway, I'll go technical with 9 & 11.

I'm not finding any of these plausible other than 7 & 11.
