Description
The vegetable kingdom in Mars, instead of having green
for a dominant colour, is of a vivid blood-red tint. At any rate, the
seeds which the Martians (intentionally or accidentally) brought with
them gave rise in all cases to red-coloured growths. Only that known

Set and rendered with Vue 5 using radiosity, Martian vegetation created with Vue 4.5 Pro, Vue procedural clouds and spherical fuzzy clouds.
