I agree that we have to be careful not to become "pareidolic" and try to see hidden shapes in everything. However, when I look at the formal indicators you suggest - outline versus paintjob - I see a difference between the left leaves and the one on the right.
The leaves on the left have only been given these "spines", which extend beyond the leaf, they have no outline. The right leaf on the other hand, has a much smoother appearance on top (like one would expect in a phallus) and the "tip" (sorry) has been clearly traced with an outline. The couple of spines that do leave the phallus on the bottom - like, sorry again, hairs - are much thinner lines than those leaving the other plants. Do you see what I mean?
For my general theory it's not too important whether the phallus is a leaf or a phallus though - I argue that the roots are the most mnemonic heavy. Would you agree that there's a foot in the roots?
