      They don’t grow naturally like that. They’re grafted on, like a fruit tree that has apples, pears and plums. Mostly plums.

      Honestly though, what do those pictures mean? Just bored monks or is there a story behind them?

        Bored monks, most of the time. Just image search “weird medieval illumination” for all sorts of weird shit on books from 1100~1400
