The Arma Christi [General discussion]

[-JKP-]

...


If indeed arma christi items are portrayed in the plants, are they still also plants? What other connections are there?

I've been wondering this myself.

There is a certain subset of plants where I have a few tentative IDs but have never been completely certain or comfortable with them. A couple of them are in this group, particularly the one with the four big red fringy things. There are a couple of plants on the planet that look vaguely like that, and one grows in Europe, but I was hesitant to write it up because I wasn't sure.

So... I don't know. Maybe it is that plant but it has been altered to fit the metaphor to the point where it's not recognizable or maybe it's just meant to look like a plant to hide the underlying meaning.
