"Apparently 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 then, gave rise in all cases to red-coloured growths. Only that known popularly as the red weed, however, gained any footing in competition with terrestrial forms. [...] I found it broadcast throughout the country, and especially wherever there was a stream of water."
HG Wells, The War of the Worlds.
