 In the final panel we learn that she is a month away from retirement and does not care about relaying accurate information anymore. She just wants to have a laugh at the expense of the naive school children, although it is clear that [[Jill]] in the front row was not fooled.
-The title text jokes about the {{w|butterfly effect}}, the idea that a {{w|butterfly}} flapping its wings in Brazil can cause a tornado in the U.S. In this case the butterflies would just help pollinate the flowers. The butterfly effect, a part of {{w|chaos theory}}, is a term coined by {{w|Edward Norton Lorenz}}, who had the comic [[1350: Lorenz]] named after him due to its chaotic nature.

 Although Miss Lenhart was supposed to retire a month after this comic, she seems to return a year later for a university-level math course ([[1724: Proofs]]) and several years later for an astronomy course ([[2926: Doppler Effect]]), where she continues the trend from this class.

 [[Miss Lenhart]] is [[#Trivia|teaching]] a class on science about the planet {{w|Venus}}.
-In the first panel, we see her teaching the history of Venus. Venus may have had water on its surface billions of years ago, but if that's true all hydrogen since then was eventually lost due to dissociation. However, there is no evidence that Venus ever had fields of flowers, or Venusians, or any other form of life.

 The {{w|runaway greenhouse effect}} on the second panel is a play on words. While the term normally refers to a rapid rise in temperature caused by greenhouse gases, Miss Lenhart uses the term literally and claims the existence of sentient greenhouses that actually ran away from Venus. In reality, the effect caused Venus to develop a thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide, which raised its temperature above approx. 460&nbsp;°C (860&nbsp;°F), hotter than daytime on {{w|Mercury}}. This eventually destroyed all evidence of anything that had been on the surface of Venus billions of years ago.

 The third panel ties the previous distortion of Miss Lenhart into the very real {{w|Tulip mania|historic reputation}} of the Netherlands as {{w|Netherlands#Agriculture|flower growers}}, with a further fabrication by Miss Lenhart that the Dutch flower industry was in fact started by Venusians.
-In the final panel we learn that she is a month away from retirement and doesn't care about relaying accurate information anymore. She just wants to have a laugh at the expense of the naive school children, although it's clear that [[Jill]] in the front row was not fooled.
