@bi3mw. I just looked at your comparison. They are too close to be a coincidence in my opinion. And because of the pattern, even more convincing.  I pay little attention to the plants because my interest is in semiotic patterns and one plant picture does not a pattern make. You’ve just proved me wrong. Congratulations!  The most compelling similarity I’ve yet seen.
