Some of the fantastic features of the Herbal plants are probably the result of interventions by later owners, as they wrongly "restored" some details of the outline and painted some parts with the wrong colors.
For instance, the blue "flowers" of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. may have been originally fruits.
The tiny "petals" around the rim of top may have been added by a later orwner (the Retracer) who tried to restore the faded drawing, and added a few "enhancements" of its own (like he did on the Zodiac and Biological pages, where he added crowns and "showercap" diadems on several nymphs). Check this close-up:
The [A] strokes must be what is left of the faded original outline. The [B] strokes would be the work of the Retracer, going over the original. The [C] petals seem to be additions by the Retracer; I cannot see any hint of original strokes under them.
Here are some images of fruits that I stumbled upon recently and reminded me of the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. pods. The first one is from a "soothing video" that my dentist put up on a big monitor above above her torture chair. The flower seems to be some species of Nymphaea. I don't know whether the fruit is from the same plant, or an artistic pairing.
The second one is some ornamental plant growing on my neighbor's sidewalk:
