No text, but a visual code

In relation to the flowers of the VM, I do not believe that the colors were applied without an intention. More than half of the flowers are blue.

It is true that the color blue is relatively common in the upper parts of the plants. Blue and green are generally frequent colors in the manuscript. So one can speculate if the color choice is supposed to say something. In my opinion this is even very likely ( see Quire 13 ), but what the statement is remains unclear. Also open in this context is the question whether the VMS was worked on by only one illustrator or whether there were several, like the scribes. Some plant representations seem to me "coarser" than others, but the nymphs are quite homogeneous.
