Seven Berries

Image: the top stem of a May lily (Maianthemum bifolium). Caption: Mad Scientist Plan #137 / Seven berries on a stem / New plants will grow / from each of them / On each new plant / new berries form... / And after waiting / not too long... / ''Earth Overcome / by Berry Throng!''

The image shows the top stem of a false lily of the valley (Maianthemum bifolium), also known as a May lily.

The image in the comic is based on an illustration in the book Flora von Deutschland Österreich und der Schweiz (1885) by Otto Wilhelm Thomé. (That book is available online at BioLib.de.)
