      Not really, no.

      A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme

      The comic strip format could be characterized as a memetic style of communication that has spread by imitation from person to person.

      Such is not true of ferns, for example.

        The idea of ferns, as a decorative plant, is most definitely a meme.

        However you are right that ferns, as a lifeform, fall under the category of genes.
