Plants are the Atlas's most concrete seasonal layer. A plant entity is a species, cultivar, or wild growth whose visible behaviour — leafing, flowering, fruiting, senescing — marks where the year has arrived. Because plants respond to accumulated warmth and day length rather than to the calendar, they are the most reliable local clock available, and the Atlas treats them as evidence rather than decoration: the plum that flowers before the last frost is a data point about the season's actual state, not a symbol of spring.
Each plant entry connects outward to the ingredients it becomes, the places it grows, the festivals that harvest it, and the practices — pruning, grafting, foraging, drying — that surround it. Those relationships are what turn a name into a position in the graph. Following them from a plant page is the fastest way to see how the Atlas's five domains interlock: the same plum sits in Earth as a cultivated tree, in Food as a fruit and a pickle, and in Story as a standing image in classical poetry.
