Unexpectedly, the Artifact comes hauling ass out of transwarp too and all three ships are fallen upon by five giant space flowers. Soji says they just call them orchids, but with all the flowers in the season so far, the gigantic, spacefaring ones that can take down a Borg cube are the greatest.

Dahj previously mentioned in "Remembrance" that her "father" bred hybrid orchids and Soji's "memory" in "The Impossible Box" featured orchids in her childhood home.

The giant space orchids in this episode actually look a lot like the strange, flower-like alien that appears in Star Trek: Discovery's opening title, but that's just a coincidence like all the other Star Trek: Discovery connections we thought were important, right?
