I think there's a case to be made to add the species of berry this plant is based on to the Trivia section. I currently believe it is based on the Red Currant, an upright-growth shrub with bright red, perfectly round berries, the seedlings of which may grow small bunches of berries compared to the more bountiful crop of a mature specimen. I believe this also explains the mold which grows on the spiderwort, which bears resemblance to the powdery-mildew causing species Podosphaera mors-uvae, a parasite which grows a gray . I noticed the similarities when a friend showed me a cooking video that showed what a red currant was, as I, living in the USA, had been unfamiliar with the fruit. Thoughts?
