No text, but a visual code

Tomorrow is the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere. There is no day of the year that is more related to the magic of medicinal herbs. It seems reasonable to think that in a codex full of herbs that seem magical and astronomical-astrological diagrams the summer solstice must be somewhere.

Sorry I missed this post, but I would like to share my idea. I was fascinated by the picture on F. 14v  and my first assumption was that it represents woodland fern with fiddles that look like seeds. But then, again, they do not look like seeds, nor like blossoms. The root is strange, too. What strikes me is the images that appear in numbers: 2 times 1 leaf, 2 x three roots, 3 times 3 blossoms.  Is that magical? Not by itself, however assuming that the image is an allusion to fern, the magic is obvious and clearly associated with the summer solstice.

According to Slovenian legend (and tradition practiced up to the past century), the fern has a magical property. Whoever has the fern seeds with him on the night of the summer solstice, can understand the animals talk and see the grass plants grow. This is an allusion to magical thinking. 
I always thought of this as a folklore, until I came across the explanation of Dante's use of symbolic language, particularly the mention of 3 x 3. The humanistic poets used the symbolic language to avoid the inquisition, but they left the clues that can be deciphered by certain people who try to understand the inconsistencies. What is the inconsistency of the fern seeds - they do not exist. The fern propagates by the underground spores, like forbidden literature and ideas. 
In Slovenian, the fern is called PRAPROT which sounds like PRA-POT - the ancient path. For the Slavic humanists, prapot would be the path of Slavic (and before that Venetic - which was a prapot of Germanic, Latin and Slavic languages). 
The summer solstice, as the longest day, is an allusion to a mystical religious experience, a state of mind open to the large part of subconscious material which is the source of creativity and imagination.
This brings me to Peterson's discovery of the fake picture with different roots and an extra leaf added. I would like to know his take on this.
