The Voynich Ninja

Yup, the young branch came from the vine. I was surprised to see it myself. There were other sprouts elsewhere on the vine too, though it was mostly bare and undulating in the VM way. It was hanging loose from the canopy, though I assume at one point it must have somehow used the stem of the tree as support, since it was rooted right next to it.

The forest is really standard and well behaved, I'd be surprised if it were a rare or exotic species...
