The plants may have been "encoded" by using a visual symbolism, hidden from the roots and the stems up to the leaves and flowers. A visual symbolism which could be connected to the Voynichese phonetics.![]()
I actually think they are real, and intended to feed people if a disaster occurs that wipes out the regular food supply. I see many of them as weeds in my yard, which upon research came over from Europe or Asia and took hold due to their general weediness.
I agree they are not drawn to life, but to general impression, which makes it more difficult to agree on id.
That's not to say they couldn't also be encoded. I'd like to know how that would work though.
